Press Release on the International Youth Day
Centre for Citizens Conserving Environment & Management (CECIC) joins the world in commemorating International Youth Day 2026 under the theme “Different Contexts, Common Aspirations.”
For CECIC, the day is an opportunity to recognise the important role young people are already playing in climate action, environmental protection, renewable energy, natural resource governance and the creation of green livelihoods.
CECIC calls for greater investment in young people and more meaningful opportunities for them to participate in decisions that affect their lives and communities. We believe young people are not simply leaders of tomorrow they are leaders and changemakers today.
As Uganda works towards a greener and more resilient future, CECIC encourages government, civil society, development partners and the private sector to support youth-led solutions, create green jobs and ensure that young people have a meaningful voice in shaping the country's future.
