A delegation of KESA members attended the Global Youth Environmental Assembly (YEA3) which brought together young leaders, environmental advocates and innovators who are at the forefront of shaping a sustainable future.

Our members joined conversations on circular economy, climate finance, environmental education, green labour market, mining and extractions, pollution, innovative solutions.

A big thank you to our members who represented us with passion, insight and professionalism. Here are some of their notable contributions to the assembly...

"Given that YEA 2025 focuses on youth engagement for a sustainable future, innovative financial mechanisms that support young people in implementing local climate and environmental projects should be adopted, keeping in mind that funding still remains one of the major constraints when it comes to project implementation." Denis Katingi, Chairperson PRM committee.

"Environmental education should be at the heart of this year's Executive Summary in the Youth Declaration for UNEA7. By integrating environmental education into the formal curricula, all children and youth across the world become climate change champions and armoured with skills of conservancy." Mark Gitau, Programmes and Public Relations Director.

Extremely grateful to the UN Environment Programme and Children and Youth Major Group to the UN Environment Programme for creating a global youth platform for environmental advocacy. Thank you team KESA, we are proud of you.
