Governance and Leadership

We cultivate and support youth leaders who engage in policy processes, advocate for the integration of health into national climate agendas, and participate in multisectoral decision-making platforms. Our work strengthens youth representation in national and regional coordination mechanisms and fosters leadership that drives accountability, country ownership and legal frameworks for climate-resilient health systems.

Through participatory training, mentorship, leadership programmes, and online courses, we equip young professionals with the skills to assess vulnerability, develop Health National Adaptation Plans (HNAPs), integrate climate intelligence into public health practice, and strengthen community-level adaptation. We invest in practical, institution-focused learning that prepares youth to lead in surveillance, early warning, and health system resilience.

We co-produce youth-led, evidence-based research using participatory methods to monitor climate-sensitive health threats and inform policy. Our approach promotes the use of climate and health data, community-based surveillance, and innovative technologies translating youth-generated evidence into actionable interventions and policy briefings. 

We mobilize young people to strengthen preparedness, early warning and response capacities at community and health-system levels. Activities include simulation exercises, support for climate-sensitive EWARS, and building the operational skills needed for rapid, coordinated response to extreme weather and climate-related health emergencies.

We design and deploy culturally-tailored risk communication and behaviour-change campaigns that elevate local knowledge and promote preventive health practices. By partnering with community leaders and deploying youth as trusted messengers, we increase awareness, drive uptake of protective behaviours, and ensure that engagement is inclusive and gender-sensitive. 

We forge sustainable collaborations and mobilize resources  from public-private partnerships to climate-health financing mechanisms to scale youth-led solutions. Our focus is on sustainable resource mobilization, economic cases for investment in climate-resilient health, and leveraging partnerships that translate funding into long-term impact.
