The Rwenzori Youth Climate Action Forum in Kasese is designed to empower young leaders to take an active role in climate adaptation and environmental conservation. The forum gathers youth, climate activists, researchers, and policymakers to exchange ideas, share experiences, and co-create solutions for pressing climate challenges in the Rwenzori region.
The program includes interactive workshops and panel discussions focused on climate-smart agriculture, renewable energy adoption, and community-based resilience strategies. Participants will also receive hands-on training on practical skills such as tree planting, soil conservation, and sustainable water management techniques, enabling them to implement these solutions in their communities.
Networking and collaboration form a key part of the forum, connecting young climate champions with mentors, local leaders, and civil society organizations. By facilitating partnerships and promoting youth-led initiatives, the forum aims to create a new generation of informed and proactive environmental leaders capable of driving long-term climate resilience in Western Uganda.
