Climate change is already impacting health across Africa, driving shifts in disease patterns, increasing extreme weather events, and placing growing pressure on health systems, making this a present public health reality.
YOUTH SAFEGUARDING HEALTH IN A CHANGING CLIMATE
Young people are not waiting on the sidelines. They are educators, researchers, implementers, and community voices helping build climate-resilient health systems.

About Us

Youth Safeguarding Health  in a Changing Climate

Founded in 2025, the Climate & Health Youth Network (CHYN) is a youth-led organisation advancing solutions at the intersection of climate change and public health.

We work by enabling youth-led action, strengthening policy engagement and accountability, building practical skills, and generating evidence that drives system improvement. Through this approach, we deliver locally grounded solutions to climate-related health risks.

Our work focuses on climate-resilient health systems, policy and advocacy, research and innovation, and community health and resilience, ensuring young people are not just affected by climate change, but actively leading the response.
