To celebrate World Biodiversity Day, the British High Commission and Wangari Maathai foundation on Friday hosted youth climate and environmental activists at Karura forest in an event aimed at amplifying the voices of young Kenyans and their solutions to mitigating climate change. The event also provided participants the opportunity to learn more about the role of urban green spaces like Karura Forest. The youth participants at the event included students, environmental lawyers, climate journalists and founders of different foundations championing green a revolution. Prof Karanja Njoroge, Trustee, Karura Forest Environmental Education Trust was also present at the event. The Youth Cafes are one of the ways the UK government is engaging young climate activists to drive climate action in Kenya.
