Take the first step by visiting and completing one of the listed actions to earn your #YALIGoesGreen badge. ![]() YALI has compiled a catalog of resources and tools that you can use to educate yourself and others about climate change and its impact across the globe and specifically in Africa. And that is precisely why YALI has “gone green.” As a network of young leaders, you have the collective knowledge, experience, tools and reach to increase awareness of climate change not only in Africa, but around the world. As an individual, the complexity and broad impact of climate change can be seen as too complicated and too intimidating to take on. Joining the growing number of the world’s population who accept climate change’s impact, the recurring question was how and where to begin. With growing concerns over the impact of drought on agriculture and overall health, YALI Network members in Mozambique wanted to know what they could do to educate and inspire more people to take action on climate change. In April I had the honor of facilitating a YALI Network “Organizing for Action” course in preparation for Earth Day 2016 and discussed climate-change awareness and environmental education with YALI Network participants in Maputo, Mozambique. As a growing network of more than 220,000 young African leaders, the YALI Network is well positioned to help lead on climate-change awareness and Network leaders across the continent are accepting the call to action. In honor of Earth Day, the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) has gone green from April 22 through May 15 to promote climate-change awareness.
