Climate change poses significant challenges in Tanzania, impacting agriculture, water resources, health, and ecosystems. Addressing these pressing environmental issues requires recognizing the crucial role of youth in driving climate action. Young people are at the forefront of the fight against climate change.
The size of Tanzania’s youth more than doubled from 4.4 million in 1990 to 11 million in 2020 and is expected to reach at least 15 million by 2030.
Building upon young people’s determination, innovation and creativity, EIT Climate-KIC, is launching an open call for proposals aimed at supporting climate education and youth engagement programmes in Tanzania. By empowering young leaders and entrepreneurs this initiative aims to harness their potential to drive impactful and transformative change while strengthening future leadership in climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts.
