Environmental sustainability and community development are some of the main goals Joshua Amponsem set out to achieve when he founded the Green Africa Youth Organization (GAYO).
In this episode, he talks about the journey so far as a climate activist and GAYO’s dedication towards curbing the impact of climate change at a micro level in Sub-Saharan Africa. Progress has been recorded in disaster risk reduction, sustainable agriculture, renewable energy activism, and waste management projects which Joshua continues to lead with a strong team of young Africans. He runs us through some of these projects, which many young Ghanaians are actively involved in and making progress in protecting the environment in local communities. This he believes is the right approach to hopefully mitigate the short and long term damage of climate change.
Over the years, efforts have been targeted towards pressing environmental issues through youth empowerment, skills development, public education and the amplification of African voices towards influencing climate policy.
