The NDCs Message for the Youth

We, African youths, cover a large percentage of the population in the continent, thus we will be the decision-makers of tomorrow. Our future is at stake. It is time for us to take the mantle, the means to be the heroes who will save our beautiful planet.

We have a voice and we need to utilize it, especially in matters that concern our continent. After all, we are not only victims of climate change but also valuable contributors to climate action.

We are agents of change, entrepreneurs, and innovators. Whether through education, science, or technology, we are scaling up our efforts and using our skills to accelerate climate action. It is for this reason; we need to be at the high table addressing (negotiating) what’s best for our continent.

Join the two-day training workshop looking to address the Climate Negotiation process, Entry point for engagement of Youths at the National, Regional and International levels as well as the infamous NDCs

Message

The UNFCCC negotiation process is focused on long-term cooperative action to address climate change. This shared vision requires ambitious mitigation and adaptation action coupled with enhanced financial support to make it possible. It is important for young people to understand the entire Negotiations process

Message

Given the scale of climate change, and the fact that it will affect many areas of life, adaptation also needs to take place on a greater scale. Our economies and societies as a whole need to become more resilient to climate impacts. This will require large-scale efforts, many of which will be orchestrated by governments. Youth are pivotal in this process. Young people are not only victims of climate change. They are also valuable contributors to climate action. They are agents of change, entrepreneurs and innovators. Whether through education, science or technology, young people are scaling up their efforts and using their skills to accelerate climate action.

Message

NDCs are increasingly significant within the landscape of climate finance, and for realization of Paris Climate Agreement. The NDCs are of greatest value within the African context, owing to the extreme climate change exposure and vulnerability the continent faces. As such, the NDCs not only provide an opportunity for the continent to be a leader in NDC finance implementation, but also unearth greater pathways to leveraging the potential of the very youthful African thought leaders in accelerating such implementation. Fully tapping into the continent's youthful population, especially their knowledge and innovation, followed by building and enhancing their capacities in climate finance, will unlock greater opportunities to meeting Africa's set targets. This has been the passion of Africa Research and Impact Network (ARIN)

IT IS TIME FOR AFRICA TO BUILD ITS OWN CAPACITY

By Fredrick Ochieng’ Ouma                                                                                                            In the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC), all the countries who are party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the beloved offspring of the Earth Summit, were supposed to submit during the 21 st Conference of Parties, countries outlined their emissions stoppage years and when they expect to start the decline in their emissions. More than three-quarters of Parties to UNFCCC submitted these INDCs with a commitment to specific timelines and figures, whether your emissions were significant or not. In fact, the Underdeveloped and the developing countries with insignificant emissions had the most ambitious INDCs. What stands to highlight the difference between these countries or negotiation blocks, is how they stand to use the period between Paris to the specific years they commit to stop further emissions.

Writing compelling motivation letters for your scholarship/degree applications

AYICC-Kenya volunteers look into the future-courageously  I am writing this because I know there is a dire need for most of our volunteers to pursue a postgraduate (sometimes even the first degree), get a scholarship or whatever grant it might be. So this is for you. If you would like me to write on something else specific to academic progress, do leave a comment below. And of course additions, and corrections are welcome too! When you are told to write a motivation letter, the selection committee is basically asking you to pitch your dream and make it real so that they can give you the money/opportunity to actualize it . In the first one paragraph, they should (must) know who you are, what your professional goal is, and they must locate your capabilities.  E.g. I am xx years old Kenyan, with a bachelor’s/Msc degree in xx from xx university and applying for this scholarship/degree programme because of my professional interests/experiences in public policy and community develop
