2	Elizabeth Sunday	Djuulume	Global Shapers Windhoek Hub	https://www.globalshapers.org/hubs/windhoek-hub	Elizabeth Djuulume is a 21-year-old Angolan youth who currently lives in Namibia. She is a computer science student, a community YouTuber, and a youth advocate. Elizabeth works as a social media manager. She presently works as a communication specialist for Jumper Namibia and freelances as a social media manager for several organizations. Elizabeth is a highly active person who has been a community volunteer since the year 2020. She was recently invited to join the Global Shaper Windhoek hub in 2022, where she joined the communication team to work on community-impacting projects. She is also a member of the lead team organizing the LCOY 2022 in Namibia to guarantee that all youth are included in the fight against climate change.Her efforts on climate change were recognized in late 2021 when her initiative "Climate Gender Justice" won Crowd4SDG among other young projects from around the world. The project's ultimate goal is to persuade policymakers to integrate sexual and reproductive health and rights concerns in disaster preparedness plans in order to mitigate the harmful impact of climate change on women's health. The project advanced to the final round, where it competed against Nigeria, Switzerland, and the Philippines. Elizabeth works as a volunteer marketing officer for the Young Achievers empowerment group, where she oversees the marketing team and manages the organization's internet presence. She also organizes weekly Saturday engagement gatherings for the community's kids. The youth engagements provide a forum for all young people who want to connect, talk, and work on community concerns in their community, as well as work on initiatives such as hosting career guidance in rural schools, SRHR projects, debates, and sports. She has been a Young Achievers member since 2019 and has a strong presence. Elizabeth also maintains a YouTube channel where she documents community stories and problems. She chronicles tales concerning community difficulties such as domestic abuse, people with disabilities, and youth climate action projects in order to educate and encourage others. She values networking and communication, which is why the YouTube channel (Patriotism With Elizabethmain )'s purpose is to build a borderless society in which everyone has equal access to all possibilities that can benefit them. On weekends, she hosts "Youth Sharing Opportunities" livestreams, in which she welcomes virtual guests from across the world to discuss issues impacting young people and communities, such as unemployment, climate change, mental health, and scholarship chances. She has also spoken at prestigious gatherings such as "The First LatinoAmerican Climate Activists" in Mexico, where she discussed her cLimate Justice Project and the importance of women in climate action (2022). She also spoke at the International Webinar on Meaningful Youth Engagement in Climate Action in Indonesia.	I am an active community advocate, and this chance will allow me an opportunity to tap into the vast expertise, creativity, and enthusiasm of other young people in order to build and execute climate solutions that will benefit my country and Africa as a whole. I have effective communication and networking skills, and I will therefore be able to work with other young people and share and present our ideas. I am currently a member of the LCOY 2022 organizing committee in an effort to eliminate any exclusive or selfish attitudes toward youth in climate action. I would therefore want to represent Angola at COP27 since the country is now experiencing the worst drought in 38 years as a result of climate change. In 2021, I was appointed African Ambassodor, tasked with mobilizing and increasing young involvement in climate action. I planned a hybrid panel discussion and invited climate activists and environmental sustainability professionals to educate the community on climate change prevention and how to join in climate action. I rallied youngsters from Namibia, Angola, Nigeria, and South Africa to attend and learn more about climate action from the panelists. This debate brought together over 200 youngsters, and I also got the opportunity to participate in climate action by facilitating these hybrid dialogues. My work on climate change was acknowledged in late 2021 when I pitched my project in the #Open17ClimateGender global competition. Among other young projects from around the world, "Climate Gender Justice" won Crowd4SDG. The project's ultimate objective is to encourage policymakers to incorporate sexual and reproductive health and rights issues into disaster preparedness strategies in order to lessen the negative impact of climate change on women's health. The project went to the final round, where it battled against Nigeria, Switzerland, and the Philippines.The project will develop a customized app in the mind blogger for data collection, and volunteers will use the app for data collection. The project will organize dissemination with policymakers at the local and central levels and advocate including SRHR in the disaster preparedness plan. With this project, data related to climate change impact will be available and accessible to everyone. Policymakers will understand the negative consequence of extreme weather events on women's SRHR and prioritize it while preparing the disaster preparedness plan. It will ultimately help overall improvement in women’s SRHR during extreme weather events like cyclones and floods and reduce maternal mortality and morbidity in the country.

Tolulope Gbenro is a 2022 finalist of the Active Citizenship Award for Climate Action in Nigeria by Noble Mission for Change Initiative. She is also a 2022 Nominee for the Tállberg-SNF-Eliasson Global Leadership Prize.	I am applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum Delegate for COP 27 because I will like to actively participate in the negotiations this year although I have never attended a physical COP. Moreover the works I have done, have not directly been related to climate mobility but indirectly they have been. The projects I worked on while as an Enactus student were centred around collecting PET bottles from communities and selling them to recycling companies based on our point based incentive system to reduce following and raise awareness on the water to wealth value model. Later, we experimented on extracting fossil fuel though the fractional distillation of PET bottles. We finally perfected our mixing ratio on converting PET bottles to interlocking bricks which could be a game changer for sustainable housing. Another project I worked on, involved converting tyres into the sole of footwear for school children to reduce the quantity of tyres that are burnt yearly. At Solution 17 Global and using my platform, I have lent my voice to speak on climate change, biodiversity, climate action, PET recycling and recycling structures, youth and future generations. At YOUNGO to be precise Africa Youth Mobilization for COP, I have also lent my voice by participating in consultations with young people in East, South and West Africa on potential outcomes and solutions to pressing problems in their various countries. For these reasons and more, I believe I will be a worthy delegate of the ACMI at COP.

I have more than three (03) years of experience in the fields of climate change, sustainable development, sustainable agriculture, nature and environment protection. I have acquired these experiences through various positions I have held in institutions: I am also a junior expert in agronomy for the same firm, assistant to the climate change specialist at the Programme d'Appui à la Lutte contre le Changement Climatique (PSCC), which is in charge of projects, training and research at Dynap-AGREDE (present throughout Africa and Haiti), I am also a junior expert in agronomy for the same firm, assistant to the climate change specialist at the Programme d'Appui à la Lutte contre le Changement Climatique, this institution is in charge of the implementation of the WACA project (West African Coastal Zone Resilience Investment Project) in Togo, I have also done an internship at WASCAL-Togo to learn more about the challenges of climate change, I have also been an assistant to the sustainable agriculture and agribusiness department at the Sustainable Solutions Institute institution which offers solutions in the field of sustainable agriculture. I am currently a PhD student in Climate Change, Biodiversity and Sustainable Agriculture.	One of the aims of the ACMI is to Protect those on the move; and further the resilience of African communities confronting the climate crisis. It is because of this noble mission of the ACMI in Africa that I wish to participate in the COP as the ACMI Youth Forum delegate. Moreover, the participation of young people in the COP is very important because they are the first to be affected by the climate and environmental risks they will have to face throughout their lives. I plan to be part of the ACMI climate solution selection committee that will be presented at COP 27 this year. I am a member of the International Youth Volunteer Corps for the Environment. I participated in the second edition of the African Union 2063 Academy where we were trained on gender equity, the Sustainable Development Goals and the African Union 2063 Agenda. I am a member of the Global Center on Adaptation's (GCA) Global Youth Platform for Climate Change Adaptation, which has provided me with in-depth knowledge on climate change adaptation, climate change, climate governance and many other climate change related issues. The master's degree of the Regional Centre of Excellence on Avian Sciences that I obtained is an international master's degree in which the courses are mainly taught in English. These various training courses and courses have enabled me to be selected to participate in this year's World Bank Youth Summit on the theme "Resilient recovery for people and the planet", to be selected by the African Union to carry out the "Ecology and I" project in Togo in the village of Keve as a volunteer. I am also among the 50 young French-speaking people involved in climate change issues who will participate in the 4th International Congress on Scientific Advice to Governments (INGSA 2021), which will focus on climate change issues.

Having attended the ACMI Youth Forum April Workshop, and the Stakeholders Forum Virtual Summit in preparation for COP 27, I believe this is an opportunity to put forward all the policy deliberations and discussions which were carried out during the various sessions. COP 27 is a gathering where solutions are deliberated, projects are scaled, and problems are solved. I am not just going to Cop27 as a general participant; I have in my hands major solutions to global problems which I look forward to discussing and exhibiting during the various sessions. With my experience in climate adaptation, energy transition, and low carbon development, I would be a major participant, as I lend my voice towards policy deliberations, constructive project criticism, and solution deliberations. I am a unique candidate for this opportunity because picking me to attend COP 27 will enable your initiative to become a major contributor to the climate/energy project that would impact tens of thousands of people in Africa. I have already begun implementing this project/solution, I just need the right network and support to scale this project for more impact and profit, and I am certain that COP 27 will provide these. I look forward to being a major success story of the SDG7 Youth Constituency.

Lwitikano is an Alumni of climate connect organized by university of Strathclyde. He is a member of Environmental health society. He is also a member of climate club at Malawi university of business and applied sciences.	I am motivated to apply for ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 because of three reasons: First, the scope of this role is within my field of study. I am in the final year of a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Health course at the University of Malawi, which I am due to complete in October 2022. I am therefore seeking to leverage my theoretical knowledge and experience in climate, which is core to my field of study. Second, having participated in an international programme on climate change that was hosted by the University of Strathclyde in the United Kingdom, and included students from all continents, I am inspired and equipped to take up climate roles in an international setting. This international programme has broadened my skills in communication and ability to work with people of varying backgrounds. I am passionate about promotion of climate change mitigation and adaptation internationally, and I am willing to participate in this event where my skills may be needed. Third, much of my experience and theoretical knowledge is transferrable, specifically in the area of climate change. I therefore feel confident that I would be able to exchange knowledge with my counterparts. At the same time, I look forward to learning from my counterparts at COP 27.
9	Rose	Kobusinge	People and Nature Initiative-Uganda	https://peopleandnatureinitiative.org/	"Rose Kobusinge is a Ugandan climate justice activist focused on driving ambitions for the inclusion of African youth voices in climate action and building resilience in marginalised and underserved rural and urban communities and refugees. She is a graduate of a master’s in environmental change and management from the University of Oxford and is currently pursuing a research degree at Coventry University in sustainable energy futures in refugee camps in East Africa. Rose is a co-founder of the People and Nature Initiative and is also a contact point for the YOUNGO-Migration, peace and Climate Change working group".	For me, the topic of climate change-migration nexus is of long-term passion and career interest. This is why I am continuously mobilising young people from Africa and all over the world to facilitate knowledge exchange and forge action to advocate for transformative human mobility and reduce loss and damage from extreme weather events. I believe my experience and enthusiasm make me a valuable participant throughout the conference days. Also, my current and future work requires me to have strong capacity and knowledge on the topic of migration-climate change nexus and to work with policymakers, an opportunity the three days of the conference provides. More justifications for why I think I should be selected to attend COP27 as ACMI Youth Forum delegate are: Need to grow my knowledge base: I am currently growing my knowledge base and expertise on the topic and I believe actively participating throughout the days of COP27 will further build my capacity and confidence to lead other young people from Uganda, East Africa and worldwide and the YOUNGO migration working group. Keeping the youth voice alive throughout the conference: I believe the stakeholders, policymakers and others participating throughout the cop27 will need to be reminded about the youth priorities and positions on migration, refugees, and climate change nexus. Thus, I will be acting as a youth voice and I will keep in contact with other youth delegates regarding the progress. Moreover, the vision is to encourage each of the youth delegates to be active members of the YOUNGO migration working group and to strengthen work and discussions in their respective countries in Africa and globally. I am also planning to host and moderate a number of youth-migration-climate change conversations. To acquire experience in working with policymakers: Interacting and working with the rest of the participants, ACMI, policymakers and high-level people during the rest of the conference days will avail me with an understanding of policymaker thoughts, and positions and identify areas for youth intervention for actions beyond the conference and towards COP27. My skills and experience will be valuable: I possess experience organizing events and I would like to support the running of sessions and the youth declaration. For networking and professional development purposes: I plan to use the rest of the time at the conference to learn and seek support from policymakers and other high-level people for transformative youth engagement in climate action and decision making. Some of the participants might be potential partners or speakers in the migration working group. In addition, I already have COP27 accreditation. Thank you for your consideration.

She has gained over two year experience working and researching on climate adaptation and mitigation. She is currently researching on the use of climate smart agricultural techniques for seed potato farmers in Kenya where she has gained considerable knowledge in climate adaptation application, climate risk and impact assessment, climate policy and development. She has participated in national and international conferences where she has presented her research findings on climate change. Recently, she participated in the International Scientific Conference for Congo Basin Forest (PRECOP 27) in Yangambi, Democratic Republic of Congo where she present her findings on the use of drones in fighting climate change in Africa. She has also participated in the virtual summit of the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Stakeholders Forum, where she took part in the discussions on addressing climate-forced displacement and migration while harnessing climate mobility to advance its development agenda and further its economic and political integration (Forging a common agenda for COP). She is also actively involved in youth related programs and has had the privilege of representing Kenya at the Africa Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) Youth Symposium in Kampala, Uganda, 2022. She is also a YOUNGO member, where she is actively engaged in climate action and advocacy. As part of volunteer work, Winnie is a full time volunteer under the Presidents’ Award Kenya where she holds a gold award and also mentors to young people (18-24 years). Here she is involved in environmental conservation and community engagement programs. Winnie is proficient in setting climate action agendas for investments in climate innovations that unite regional, sectoral and climate change communities under a common agenda by integrating the three dimensions of sustainable development: environmental, social and governance by addressing climate change challenges. Winnie aspires to be a successful woman in STEM to disseminate knowledge globally on adapting to climate change, improving agricultural productivity and creating employment opportunities for youth.	Climate change is a global concern especially to the young people as it is diminishing our future employment opportunity and threatening our existence. I see the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative Youth Forum as a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn, engage and network with climate advocates, researchers and organizations to develop pathways and measure progress toward achieving climate targets and ensure we deliver a just & equitable energy transition. I believe that I have something to contribute, bring unique insights, perspective and a positive, collaborative attitude to the forum. In Kenya, climate change is a major concern and has been observed with the desert locust invasion in 2020 which accelerated food insecurity and with drought being declared a national disaster in 2021. As a young female scientist, I have taken it as my responsibility to be part of the solutions to climate change and to create awareness this concern. I have researched on climate smart agricultural technologies that can be adopted by small holder farmers to ensure food security, climate change mitigation and adoption, employment and food sustainability while protecting, managing and restoring the ecosystem. I have participated in several forums and conferences which are on solving climate change. Some of which include the International Scientific Conference for Congo Basin Forest (PRECOP 27) in Yangambi, Democratic Republic of Congo where we held scientific discussions on restoring the Congo Forest and other tropical forests to the fight against climate change in preparation to the COP, virtual summit of the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Stakeholders Forum, where I participated in discussions on addressing climate-forced displacement and migration while harnessing climate mobility to advance its development agenda and further its economic and political integration (Forging a common agenda for COP) and the Africa Climate Week where challenges, barriers, solutions and opportunities for climate action and support in Africa were discussed. My involvement in climate change advocacy has seen me participating in the Youth Dialogue hosted by His Royal Highness, The Earl of Wessex at Dedan Kimathi University of Technology as a panelist under the theme “climate change and environmental conservation” and a Kenyan delegate at the Africa Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) Youth Symposium in Kampala where we discussed on how to reposition the youth agenda for a transformative continent. From my advocacy and experience, I believe I am the right fit to be a delegate and take part on discussions on climate adaptation and resilience, climate finance, youth involvement in climate change, renewable energy, carbon markets and carbon sequestration. I yearn to deepen my knowledge and experience in climate change and given the opportunity through this platform my voice can be heard, I can be empowered and educated to continue advocating for climate change.

In 2018 leadership journey was remarkable in the memories of my advanced level because for the first time I successful being the Head prefect advisor and it was the post which was not before established, and my leadership history has futured with a lot of amazing stories, I was a hard-working man ensure that our school being among of the best school in Tanzania called by the name CHATO HIGH SCHOOL, we successful and safely live the legacy as the leaders who were climate activist and the legacy of “Green Green everything” .in our jurisdictions we participated in the burial ceremony of the the sister of late H.E John Joseph Pombe Magufuli (who was the SADC chairperson by then) we were involved in it and to ensure we prepare for the good environment for the visitors.

In 2020, I experience the rural-to-rural migration for the agriculture practice, and this being due to the climate change, and I come to identify that youth should speak out in one voice in order to encounter the climate crisis and also that we need the climate finance in order to overcome the crisis. And I admire because my Bachelors currently my Research Tittle is “practical and legal challenges of group status determination of Migrants” which also relate with the climate mobility issues that due to the climate crisis made this to happen.

12	Solomon	Musa	NazaAgape Foundation	https://www.nazaagape.org/	I am by name solomon musa, I am a Nigeria by birth, a well behaved individual with a respectful and humble beginning, I am from a family of 3 of which I am the last born of the family of Musa Gangdomen here in Nigeria. I am a graduate of Bsc Public Administration from the University of Maiduguri here in Nigeria. I am also a climate change and a sustainability advocate I talk about and encourage anything that has to do with hrh sustainable practices for achieving a good healthy environment and also to protect the climate. As a climate change advocate I encourage fellow youths like me in my environment to participate in all activities that leads to a sustainable living. I am self employed and I design websites too thank you.	It's troubling to know that with those different unsustainable activities being initiated by us in different forms, we have made NATURE to become a sink of waste materials. A sink which is chocking us to death gradually. The current Climate Emergency (once Climate Change), Extreme Flooding, Desertification, Mass Migration of Animals due to habitats destruction and loss, Deforestation, Loss of Biodiversity, Marine Pollution, etc. are few of the damaging consequences of unsustainable practices and activities we have implemented and continue to implement today. These events (impacts) don't only impede the normal functionalities of Nature, but further serve as direct threats to our well-being and survival. It's true that we're making significant strives to restore and protect Nature, but when we all ignore the real and pressing issues, then we're doing nothing absolutely! As a young advocate, If in the shoes of a global leader, my quest to "Develop an Introductory Environmental Education Course (Subject) for all Primary and Secondary institutions of Learning in my Country" will be a top priority. It is going to be an important path for a developing nation like my country and more as youths will be the major focus to deliver in all matters of climate emergencies. It's also vital to know that my quest for the "Establishment of an plastic field collection and gather units in some strategic locations accross my country, " where all plastic bags, bottles or other plastic items and parts are collected gathered and either sold for reusage or recycling to either independent users and companies or government environment this will help in poverty alleviation. There are several pressing issues to list here, but these two are fundamental to a Sustainable Future we all seek. A Campaign that we're unrelenting about as young advocates across the globe.It's a WAKE UP CALL to everyone! If only the many generations before us thought responsibly and sustainably towards Nature, we wouldn't have been to where we are today battling the many pressing environmental issues confronting our global population. It's not too late to act! Let's spread the message about the significance of conserving and preserving Climate and Nature. Let's not allow the next generations to blame us for doing nothing to protect and conserve climate like we're doing to our forefathers now. Let's engage into healthy activities which will promote and support environmental sustainability. Remember: Nature has its own way of healing (restoring) herself, and if only we fail to act, the consequences of our actions will haunt us from time to time immemorial i am Solomon Musa from Nigeria.
13	Abdul Na-eem	Muniru	Peace First	www.peacefirst.org	Muniru Abdul Na-eem is my name and I’m 21 years of age. An undergraduate student at the University of Education,Winneba pursuing political science education and geography. I love to impact society positively hence , my focus has always been on the SDGs most notably, climate change, education, mental health and the likes. I am a versatile being with which I am proud of, a mental health advocate from Ghana Youth Movement for Mental Health and WHO (World Health Organization) e-equality right training, a Peace First Ambassador and the likes in other fields not just by name but by impact. I have embarked on several projects on mental health, education, sanitation, climate change and the likes not just because I have interest in them, but also my passion to create positive impacts. It should not amaze you for me to tell you my engagement in international space on pertinent issues and also the awards and recognition gained in both local and international space. Coupling my work, volunteerism, engagements and the likes with my education is stunning as you might put it, but I don’t take that as credit because I believe I have not even started achieving my passion because my community and the world needs me to bring my ideas and solutions to life.	As a highly motivated student who always wanted to make the world a better place for us all to live in. A student from a poor background and a village who finds himself in the world of creativity and innovation where virtually climate change is causing a lot of havoc in our lives, a young boy who believes in positive change and has done his best and is still doing his best to change the narratives of the society, being a volunteer at so many projects, especially advocating for climate change issues, I believe we would get there one day! This is therefore a great opportunity for a young boy like me to have answers to all the questions I have in mind, a place to share my ideas to the rest of the world in terms of climate change, a place to share the story of my people whose voices are not heard, an opportunity to partner, network, gain support for my projects to be implemented. I have been through a lot in my advocacy and volunteer works patiently looking for an opportunity like this to gain more experiences to impact more lives. I have watched last year’s COP through a sponsorship from GLF online and I was moved by everything that happened. I had some of my questions answered and others not, so I am highly motivated about the impacts this opportunity would grant me and the impacts that I would cause after the program. Through out my works, I have gained advanced knowledge in understanding individual differences, tolerance, patience, skills, techniques, strategies and methods of communication. I have developed good relationships with diverse people and I easily do that through my sense of humor and understanding. There are a lot of things I have engaged in which made my communication skills exquisite. I would not like to put a lot of load in this piece so therefore, I humbly request for you to please kindly review my attached application for additional details regarding my expertise and achievements. Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need further clarification on my experience.

18	Edgar	Mutungisa	East African Community Youth Ambassadors Platform	www.eacyap.org	I am the EAST AFRICAN COMMUNITY Youth Ambassador to Uganda and a student of Petroleum Engineering and Environment Management. I am climate action activist with deep interest in climate induced mobility and i self sponsored my participation in the drafting of the Kampala declaration during the regional inter ministerial conference on Migration, Environment and Climate Change from 27th to 29th of July. i am a youth representative in both the National Youth Parliament and the East African Youth Parliament who always passionately presents about the climate change induced mobility as a threat to peace and security that requires urgent consideration.	I come from a community where part of my family was displaced due to the extreme drought that led to a shortage of water and consequently to the death of our cattle and to the demise of two close friends in the process of their settlement in a hostile area shortly after they had migrated. To me, the concept of climate mobility is personal and a delicate one. I have duly interacted with the awesome literature from the African Climate Mobility Initiative on their incredible journey of addressing climate change induced human mobility but i am not satisfied with the slow adoption of this commitment especially at the the global level of COPs. Having already participated (solely self sponsored) in the national events including the inter ministerial conference on Migration, Environment and Climate Change , i greatly believe i have the gained the potential to represent not only the youths but also the climate-migration affected communities as not only a youth leader but also an individual who has a personal disturbing experience due to climate induced migration. i have a burning desire to speak up and share my story. i want to meaningfully contribute to the issues of climate change induced mobility including migration, displacement and planned relocation. i want to witness more and better collaborative efforts at COP 27 on the migration, environment and climate change nexus towards a joint declaration on an action oriented, forward looking common position. More so, i am an excellent public speaker with three national debate awards. i am confident that as a delegate ,i will put my God given talent to speak up for the cause i already highlighted on climate change induced mobility on a perspective of a youth but also an affected person.

Ibrahim is the founder and director of research and innovation at Healhy Earth, a social enterprise that support businesses, local farmers, private and public institutions with the tools and skills to enable make informed sustainable decisions. Ibrahim is also a trained facilitator at YOUTHLEAdING the world, an Australian based highly participatory program that provides young people with skills to tackle sustainability challenges, and empowers them to take solution-focused action, improve their environment, and equips them to become leaders of positive change. However, Ibrahim is committed to ensure businesses, local farmers, private and public institutions have the skills and tools to make informed sustainable decisions, and all together help mitigate their impact on the climate.	In 2017, mudslides and floods killed 493 people in Sierra Leone main Capital city, Freetown. Additional 600 people got missing and leaving over 3,000 people homeless. Just recently, on August this year, more than 12 people were also being killed by floods in the main capital city, and also other cities within Sierra Leone. And whenever this happen, thousands of people become homeless, especially children, and women. These past events are already enough evidence that climate mobility is becoming serious concern every single day. We can not prevent the overpopulation in especially urban cities where climate disasters are serious, but we can develop strategies to mitigate, and adapt to some of these climate effects. However, through my more than 4 years of experience in environmental research and innovation, i believe access to the right tools and skills can help government, private institutions and everyone to make informed sustainable decisions from mitigating and adapting to the effects of climate change, to finding innovative solutions to solving some of these challenges. Therefore, I believe through the Africa climate youth mobility initiative youth forum, i will be able to happily share these experiences with world leaders, institutions and everyone taking a role in climate actions, and help together with other selected young people to find innovative solutions to solving the increasing rate of climate mobility in Africa.

I am writing tender my interest for the ACMI Youth delegate for the COP27 as this will be an opportunity to learn and also share with others on the possible pathways to climate change freedom. This is particularly an important time and prime opportunity for the youth to speak more vocal on this matter. Being part of the group and also representing the indigenous youth and largely the indigenous communities, it is time for action on matters climate change. I am worried and we should all be because the problem that we thought was far fetched is here with us. I now sometimes cant get water for our livestock to drink because the rivers that we thought would never dry are now dry. Food insecurity caused by the ever changing weather patterns, diseases that are not even known. With all these we afford to do things the same way as our forefathers did. I think it is time time that we try the Indigenous peoples way of mitigating climate change. But can that really happen? NO because the funding supposedly meant for such measure get lost into the thin air. I am particularly interested in meeting up with the high dignitaries and pose such kind of concerns to them however the platform such is available for the chosen few. It is for this reason that i sincerely wish to request that my application is considered. Change is me and you. Together we can bring the best of each other. Looking forward to hearing from you.

In 2014,it was a terrible night for the Burundians populations of the Carama and Gatunguru neighborhoods when floods have abbathed to these neighborhoods and causes many damages. My family and I were one of the victims of the floods that hit the Gatunguru and Carama districts of Burundi. The exterior of our house was flooded with water and mud, we were unable to cross. The roads were impassable, the gutters were blocked, it was very difficult at that moment. There were even neighbors who moved to other places because of these floods. Poor people had more problems than us. They had no fixed places to go ,no shelter, food, clothes.It was an unfortunate situation for them. We helped each other with the little we had above all! We helped the children of the displaced people to have what they needed like (food ,drink and cloth )when they knocked on our doorstep to ask for help. As a Youth ambassador of Unicef, I am ready to promote the right of each child. Each child has the right to a better life and also having access to good education, good nutrition.

Currently working as research assistant with ECDPM where I'm contributing towards policy analysis, research and organising multilateral engagement dialogues between Europe-Africa to build cooperation.	While working closely with EU institution and African Union, my Interest lies in finding simple solutions to global wrongs, particularly those with adverse implications for the marginalized communities in Africa. Working closely on issues on governance, human rights and rule of law. Climate change is a fundamental threat to Africa economic development with threats to food insecurity and conflict across Africa. My work within international level aims to provide contextual research, backed by evidence and recommendations to contribute towards ambitious, fair and effective responses to the climate crisis, promote a green COVID-19 recovery and explore the European and African politics of green transition and renewable energy deployment. As you are aware, Africa has contributed very little to historic emissions but is currently the most vulnerable continent to climate variability and change, trying to develop its economies while adapting to climate change. We should therefore call for a just and differentiated approach to climate mitigation and adaptation responsive to the needs of Africa. The first step would be to advocate for developed nations to fulfull their pledges towards supporting developing country's on towards transitions to green energy. While understanding that issues of climate change requires more dialogue and understanding. These forum avails an opportunity to dialogue with youth from other African countries and the world to build a collective voice to the world leaders to respond to calls on climate change. Would be happy to build a coalition with like-minded youth in Europe-Africa to follow-up on the commitments at the climate change summit.

The need to bring to the attention of the COP27 how Africa is sitting on the time bomb of climate migration that's going to be worsened by conflicts resulting from climate change is the main reason I am applying to be considered as an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27. Since COP27 is coming to Africa with all the media focus, I feel this is the right time to highlight this with the help of different campaign and advocacy strategies that I can bring on board as an ACMI Youth Forum delegate. I come from Alebtong district in Northern Uganda and for long we have seen the worst impacts of climate change. For example like how many children have dropped out of school, how many people have lost their lives to hunger caused by climate change, how floods have washed away crops and homes and how it feels to live in a long dry spell climate. The same region has also suffered from the long period of conflicts of the Lords Resistance Army for over twenty years and honestly speaking, I have seen what it means to live in the climate change affected community alongside conflict and it's I dream that I pray it shouldn't widen or come to Africa again. I feel COP27 should take note of this so that the earliest preparation can brought on board to mitigate it because some parts of the horn of Africa are already experiencing this.

I also want to share my ideas with other delegates and find a lasting solution to the Global crisis. The youths are the future of tomorrow. As a youth, I believe youths haven't really being given a listening ear.

At age 10, I contracted cholera and I had limited chances of survival, this kept haunting until I decided to be a voice of many refugees who are voiceless. COP27 is a platform, I would use to represent the voices of the voiceless especially the youth and marginalized women in Kyaka 2 refugee camp.

It was May 2013 when floods hit Kasese .At 1am i was woken by the rumble of water and boulders as they crashed down Mount Rwenzori.Then came the alarms raised by those living in the hilltop areas, those who could run, racing down to warn people along the valley and lowlands to run. A torrent of water was on its way down the mountain. Four rivers in Kasese district – the Nyamwamba, Mubuku, Nyamughasana and Lhubiriha – had burst their banks.“I realised a disaster was coming. It was a matter of life and death.As i was running back to a lert my family members,The running Water caught me along the way and carried me .By the time i was rescued, my belly was ballooned with water that the killer river had forced me to swallow as i was trying to fight my way out of the river as it tried to roll downstream.I really lost sense and didnt knew what went on.By the time i was rescued,i found my self at a so called Traditional Healer after 13 hrs,i was told that the heavy rains have swept away my family houses and “Most of their gardens were sub-merged and the toilets destroyed and consequently we developef a fear of hunger and diseases like cholera to strike us,”We couldn’t sleep on the hill. It was so cold. The children were crying. There was nothing we could do,” We designed a makesshift and started to cook from makeshift home in Kilembe.“We came back in the afternoon after the water had receded and saw the great devastation of the floods. The water destroyed and swept away everything,” “We were left homeless and very desperate. Where do we start from? We surely needed urgent assistance and As a family to decided to Migrate to Kamwenge district after only one week.I learnt to Invest in planning—and understand the risks,Tap into nature-based solutions like creating open spaces and restoring wetlands, which serve as buffers between oncoming storms and otherwise vulnerable communities.Personally,this forced me to establish a local initiative named Empower students in climate changeuganda and we have constructed community gabions , a mini irrigation scheme and a community early warning system through public address system locally known as ebizindaalo, capable of covering the most flooded areas. Because of such similar experience that i have undergone through in the past and found it personally rewarding and professionally fulfilling,thats what motivated me to apply to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27.

Lucky is also the host of the Youth Sustainability Corner (YOUTHSCOR) podcast and the founder of the Earh4Us environmental initiative. #Earth4Us	The world is facing severe environmental challenges arising from different natural and manmade factors. These factors include but are not limited to deforestation industrialization greenhouse gas emissions and global warming. These challenges require urgent and concerted effort for a sustainable solution. I am inspired to be among the next generation of change-makers to lead this cause. In line with the United Nations’ sustainable development goals, Nigeria is aiming to develop a sustainable approach to solving her monstrous environmental challenges as these are bedevilling the development efforts of the country’s GDP, people and overall quality of life of the citizens through the Nationally Determined Contribution as proposed in the Paris agreement in 2015. Being in a country with over 70% of its population being less than 30 years old, it is my ambition as one of such to improve my knowledge. Skill, and network in order to effect positive change and lead lasting climate innovations and negotiations. This forms the basis for my interest to join the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) as a delegate for the COP27 event in Egypt. In order to be a part of the youth and leaders to effect positive change to forestall a climate catastrophe in Nigeria, I have worked and volunteered with a host of organizations such as the Statewide Wide and Environmental Education Program (SWEEP Foundation), the Nigerian Environmental Society, Youth Sustainability Conference, YOUNGO, which is the Youth and Children constituency of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change UNFCCC. It is my ambition to become one of the notable changemakers in the Nigerian environmental sector in the long run and skilled and competent personnel in the midterm who is armed with the requisite knowledge to venture into climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts as well as other climate action thematic areas such as Loss and Damage. I currently host an Initiative called the Youth Sustainability podcast where I engage young people like myself to understand issues of climate change better and how young people can play active roles in its fight. This initiative has been able to reach out to a total of 50 Nigerian Youths since its inception in august 2022. Therefore, being a delegate for the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) youth forum I believe, is a well-packed international opportunity that can equip me with the requisite knowledge, skills, exposure, and network primarily to understand the diverse forms of climate negotiations, implementation and monitoring and create lasting impact in climate actions in my local community. I have no doubt that at the end of this program, I would fully understand and create impactful faith-based climate action projects. in my community and Nigeria at large.

Six years ago, I was in a car with my brother, trying to look through the car window, but it was so difficult to see what was going on outside due to the heavy rainfall. The rain was falling so heavily that, for a moment, I thought it could actually damage the car. That evening, we were stuck in traffic when the winds got strong. I couldn’t help but feel like the water below was going to rise and flood the bridge, sweeping the cars and the terrified people inside them off into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. It was horrifying. The sound of fear and panic spread like wildfire, rushing through us as we all awaited our fate, stranded somewhere in between safety and danger. Rain fell continuously for 3 hours, 3 very long hours. My brother and I were petrified, both imagining that the strength of the water tide below could collapse the bridge. Eventually, the rain stopped falling and cars started moving again, gradually awakening from the state of ill-fated unease. We got home thankful that the incident wasn't worse than it was but then I thought "what if we had all been swept away into the ocean?" Climate change is causing the migration of people, animals and plants from their homes. Many species in my community have migrated while some are near extinction due to climate change impacts such as flooding, drought and desertification. To address this, we need to improve our understanding of and find solutions for migration in the context of climate change. That's why I started researching climate migration and co-created solutions to solve it. As a UNITE 2030 Campaigns Lead, I teamed up with Samia Shell, a Human Rights and Environmental Activist to host the Right to a Healthy Environment Roundtable that involved Dr. David R. Boyd (UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and the Environment). Today, the campaign has been endorsed by over 1,350 organizations from 75 countries and the Human Rights Council and UN has adopted the resolution recognizing our right to a healthy environment (https://www.childrenvironment.org/blog/a-big-win). This recognition means more accountability from governments to ensure we live in a world with a safe and stable climate and thriving biodiversity and ecosystems. As Policy and Advocacy Chair of the Commonwealth Youth Climate Change Network (CYCN), I led the #YouthLeadSDG13 campaign (https://yourcommonwealth.org/youthleadsdg13) where climate refugees were prioritised in the campaign messaging. Through the campaign, I educated over 150+ young people about climate migration, adaptation, resilience and loss and damage through essay writing and art work. I am motivated to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 because it will give me the opportunity to amplify the voices of many young Africans on the move, influence decision making at COP27 in favour of climate mobility and support ACMI via different youth networks I am part of such as the African Youth Climate Innovation Network, AU Youth Envoy, CYCN and Global Shapers Community.

50	Noela	Aleatanu	Lesley Foundation		It is common for young people and children to experience trauma as a result of certain circumstances,and it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel. Noela's greatest passion is helping youths, Women and children through Advocacy. Her educational background includes an LLB in English Law and an Ongoing Masters program in Human Rights and Development in the University of Buea. She is interested in youth involvement in bringing innovative ideas for developmental purposes. She Volunteers with the African Youth Advocates and the Lesley Foundation where she Volunteers and helps the community in different developmental approaches. As regards providing environmental aid, she involved her self in tree planting, Community Clean up, and beach clean ups. She took part in an Asian Africa youth dialogue and gave insights on the topic "Safeguard the Rights of Women and Children in Regional Action on Climate Change and Biodiversity". Her passion for protecting women and Children experiencing climate change menaces provided her an opportunity to attend a 7 weeks professional training of Climate Governance Diplomacy and Negotiations PROGRAM by African Group of Negotiators Expert Support (AGNES), an opportunity provided by AU-UNICEF Office. Her passion for protecting women and children from various harmful practices gave her and her team the "Reimagining an Africa without child Marriage Award" with UNICEF OFFICE to the African Union &EAC. Noela is a very passionate young woman who is driven towards Impact and Change, in as much as she's willing to learn, she is also willing to teach other young Leaders what she knows.	I am a Masters student at the University of Buea, where I study Human Rights and Development. The town is small but very lively, the small town holds the mighty Mt Cameroon, and when I was in my teens I remember it being an extremely cold place and very moist air. Every child loved going there for holidays because we considered it our "Europe". Over the years, deforestation has been at it's peak in my little town, and the once very cold place, has become so hot that people prefer to move to other towns rather than stay there. There are more cars in the town than people and as a result, the emissions are massive. During the rainy seasons, there is little or no difference from the dry season and people haven't realized there's a problem which needs immediate action. Crops used to grow exceedingly and the farmers were the richest, they even created outlets to sell in other towns but in recent times, there is little or no food for everyone, market sellers have to go to different towns and buy food to come and retail to to the people at very high prices, considering cost of transportation. The first NGO I volunteered with, The Noela Lyonga Foundation, my first activity was Tree planting, where we planted over 200 trees throughout the town in a bit to bring a solution.I will love to take part in this African Climate Mobility Initiative along side other young persons because it will be a platform for me to share my experiences, learn various innovative solutions, network with Climate Change Advocates and propose solutions of the way forward in mitigating climate change in Buea, Cameroon, Africa and the world atlarge. I will very much love to be one of the youth delegates, and propose solutions to mitigate Climate Change.

Being a radio presenter, I have used the media in mobilizing youths for a climate walk and creating awareness of the climate change crisis, I have also engaged students on the issues of climate change. I was a speaker for the session “Youth Action in Driving Climate Agreement in Local Communities”, at the just concluded Youth Sustainable Development Conference and a speaker at the Climate Change Awareness Workshop of Eco-Diversified, where I spoke on “Community Engagement and Women Inclusion in Solving Climate Change”. In Nigeria, youths from various regions especially from vulnerable and marginalized communities just like mine, are taking aggressive actions to combat climate change via campaigns for awareness and sensitization, crowdfunding, and partnerships for projects at the local levels; such as solar lamp distribution, waste management especially that of plastic pollution, solar panels for irrigation and smart agriculture amidst others. All these actions are carried out with no adequate climate finance disbursed, but with a passion to have a safe planet as the driver of this movement. I hope to join the Youth Forum delegation of the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative, as this would avail me the opportunity to amplify the voices of vulnerable and marginalized communities in my country Nigeria and Africa as a whole. I seek to bring to light, the actions young people are taking to combat climate change, foster just energy transition, and the need for immediate intervention measures to foster transition and development. Finally, I want to be a social voice and role model to young people and women in my region and inspire them to live sustainably and take action to save our planet.

I must say growing up in the Sango Ota area of Ogun state, I had the mentality that the word "Climate change" or "Environmental sustainability" was not meant for us. Why? because we believe it is meant for the civilized town and the rich, not knowing that we are the ones damaging the ecosystem. In 2019 I came across a publication by the UN on SDG goals and Targets then I began reading the I came across goal 13 and I discovered that I have been wrong all this while, it's not about the Rich or poor it's about our health and planet. This is why I became an educational & Environmental advocate.

58	Roice	Bwambale Kalengyo	Technology without borders	GUBGMHVpwcTsPFvNNVdG5DKtpv6UwksAfzw5aULcGzgG	Roice Bwambale Kalengyo is a civil engineer and Climate change enthusiast who by passion and dedication was jointly sponsored by both the Japanese and egyptian government to pursue a masters degree in Environmental engineering at Egypt japan university of science and technology. More over I recently was selected by Germany academic exchange orginsation, DAAD among 18 young researchers who carried on a climate change study in Mid east region together with a specialized climate change experts from Germany,Jordan and Egypt. I have continued to inspire and support many young scientists,social and economic professionals to come up with most technically and social economic climate resilent solutions that have won international awards and most importantly transformed communities. Before leaving my home country Uganda for Egypt where I am persuing my masters studies,I had participated together with my lecturer in establishing a university student association that carries on climate change,water ,,energy and food security solutions named technology without borders a branch under a big international association Technology without borders.The association with my joint effort has excelled in just two years of its establishment to executing a couple of community saving initiatives in Uganda.	Based on my past and current experience as a science communicator and media influencer,I have realized that the most effective way of transferring information about climate crisis is through use both art and science so as to create lasting situational images to diverse categories of audience. Even though I started my professional career as civil engineer by practice and qualification, I have over the past two years redirected and dedicated myself towards urgent climate change and a social person coz I realised that science is only entertained if merged with arts.More over I am currently finalizing my masters in environmental engineering in Egypt and yet have continued to involve myself in several courses on public speaking and video production so as to fully establish my career in climate communication. I have won more than three international awards both in the area of audience facilitation and climate change interventions. I have continued to inspire professionals via linkedin with a solid belief that the LinkedIn audience are potential agents of change and can most importantly influence educated youths both indirectly and directly through their respective educational and professional fields. Luckily enough,As a postgraduate candidate representative in Egypt-japan university of science and technology, I have manged to champion the solicitation and success of various high level educational and awareness trainings for young climate ambassadors in various preCOP27 training funded by international organization like the most recent ones funded by German organization DAAD CAIRO and British council. Having followed most of the climate change programs held by especially YOUNGO and UN envoy ,I am convinced that careful people like I am who have well established records in leading multicultural and international communities could be best drivers of climate change advocacy in an equitable and inclusive way.

Then 2010 -2012 did my secondary School at Kaoma high school of Western Province in Kaoma district . Furthermore, 2014-2017 persued my Diploma in early childhood education at the University of Zambia under school of education. In addition to this , 2017 did a Short Course in Computer Studies under TAVETA obtained a certificate.upon completion of this short course thus I was picked to work Under JTI (Japan Tobbaco International) as a data Clerk.In 2018, worked as an Office Assistant at PSI ( Project Support International) as an intern, From 2019 till date working with Vitalite Zambia Limited as a Sales and service Representative . 2021 obtained a certificates in Women Leadership and Mental wellbeing Programme.	Having read about what ACMI Main Focus , it has drawn my interest in participating in this program due to the fact that my Country Zambia is one of the countries that has high risk of climate impact. This would be a great opportunity for me to discuss on how we can address the challenges that my Country and other countries are under going due to this Climate Change . Zambia's climate is highly variable and over the last few decades it has experienced a series of climatic extremes, for example, droughts, seasonal floods and flash floods, extreme temperatures & increased rainfall variability . Climate changes have key impact on Energy, agriculture, water resources, Human Health , ecosystems and infrastructure. In Zambia , climate change can negatively impact economic growth, Energy supply, and agriculture production, cause this country depends on rainfed agriculture exposes it to climate shocks and make rural households vulnerable to climate change . My experience on climate mobility is that, I feel there is need of new thinking , innovation and a transformation of a system that supports the world economy. Cause when we look at global energy and mobility industry is at a critical inflection point.the intrinsic linkage between energy and mobility has become more obviously when viewed from the perspective of leading energy company. I feel the energy sector has a major impact on the climate , it accounts for roughly two thirds of all harmful greenhouse gas emissions. And these emissions can only be reduced by phasing out fossil fuels, at the same time , developing and emerging countries need more and more energy. Industry , mininig, Agriculture and the food security all needs energy to produce , store and transport goods. Therefore, in order to limit global warming on a long term basis , it is necessary to increase the share of renewable energy in energy mix, improve energy efficiency and transform the entire energy sector. Only then will it be possible to supply more people with energy and halt climate change.

On July 27th – 29th, 2022, I was privileged to attend the High-Level Regional Inter-Ministerial Conference on Migration, Environment and Climate Change in Kampala, Uganda. I joined high-level decision-makers to prepare a Ministerial Declaration to counter climate-induced human mobility challenges affecting vulnerable communities in the East and Horn of Africa. Recently, I was the Youth4climate delegate who represented Tanzania at the Africa Climate Week in Libreville, Gabon in August 2022. It was a precious moment to discuss how we can advance climate action at the regional level and address contemporary challenges related to climate change, including human mobility and other repercussions. Also, as the Youth4Climate delegate, I attended the Pre-COP26 Youth event, also called the UN Climate Change Pre-Conference, held in Milan, Italy in September 2021. I and other delegates did outstanding work in preparing a proposal called the Youth4Climate Manifesto that amplified the voices of youth around the world, and the proposal was forwarded to the COP26 held in November 2021 in the United Kingdom. I am motivated to use the knowledge gained during the fellowship and later COP to positively impact my community in advocacy space and ground projects that aim at addressing mobility risk as an avenue to create a climate-resilient society.

Geremy already holds a bachelor's degree in Natural resources management from the University of N’Zerekore, Guinea. He has been involved in projects related to raising awareness against charcoal production and deforestation. He has also undertaken internships in Environmental Impact Assessment, fauna, and flora inventory. Geremy is passionate about Circular Economy and sustainability. He is a life-long learner looking forward to building his career in research.	Over the years, I have built skills and qualities that have impacted my life and community. I am a resilient and innovative young African. To tackle global challenges, I understand that I must be a life-long learner, a change-maker who works with other people to make the world a better place. I am also very good at going under pressure, and I often prefer to be in situations where the pressure is because I believe this is where I am at my best to impact more life around me. I am also good at building up relationships with other young people and mentors, and this will help me see myself as a global citizen able to make a positive impact even around the world. I grew up in my country’s southern region, a region called Guinea forestry. This region seems to lose its natural resources, especially the wildlife, because of anthropogenic activities in this region’s forests which contribute to climate change, biodiversity loss, and fights between local communities. Looking at this disaster that threatens biodiversity, I chose to make a career in the environmental field. I am a young person passionate about taking care of the environment. I studied Natural resources management, where I got a bachelor's degree in 2016. I have worked on a few environmental-based projects where we raised awareness about the impact of charcoal production, which led to the reduction of deforestation in communities living around forests in my country. As a young leader striving to make more change in my community, I have been selected as a conservation leader by MAVA Foundation 2020 scholarship. I am currently pursuing my studies at the African Leadership University, Rwanda. So, I am very focused on achieving difficult tasks and projects that are aligned to the Sustainable Development Goals through which we can make the world a better place for all. Furthermore, I have been selected as a delegate to attend the 4th African Youth SDGs Summit held this year in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where discussed many challenges that young people are facing toward the Sustainable Development Goals in their various communities and drafted outcomes to make our voices heard by various stakeholders in our countries. I want to ensure you that I am the type of person who is committed to learning skills and giving back to his community and the world. Therefore, I am eager to act as a positive role model to share any skills I learn and make my best contribution to the betterment of our environment and people.

89	Papa Ousmane	Diouf	Attitude Citoyenne (ATCIT)		My name is Papa Ousmane Diouf. I am a social worker. I continually develop and gain experience in the field to help make the world caring and where the basic needs of vulnerable people are met. In 2021, as a project assistant within Secours Islamique France, I contributed to the enrollment of 1042 children and young people aged 1 to 23 for universal health coverage between the departments of Dakar, Pikine, Guédiawaye and Rufisque . I facilitated the establishment of frameworks such as the Communal Council for the Protection of Children in the commune of Diamageune Sicap Mbao; the Child Protection Monitoring Committee of the district of Thiaroye and the children's advocacy group of the municipality of Diamageune Sicap Mbao. All these bodies contribute to taking into account the concerns of children, their environment, respect for their rights and their daily well-being. Convinced that the realization of children's rights in a protective environment necessarily involves economic empowerment of parents, I participated in the establishment of groups of godmothers and guardians whose objective was to promote mutual aid and collective realization of income-generating activities. These lucrative activities have made it possible to take part of the needs of children and young people, in particular the improvement of their study framework and environmental framework and their professional integration.	Being a committed young person, and having made social and environmental protection my conviction for a better world, I have been trying since 2016 to develop, with my association, activities in favor of the children and young people of my commune Sibassor. It is in this sense that I coordinated with the support of professionals from the Kaolack Chamber of Commerce as well as members of the association, the awareness and training of 30 young people on social entrepreneurship and taking account of local environmental opportunities. In addition, in 2021, we organized a budding genius competition for 20 students from 5 schools with the main theme "reforestation, a factor in safeguarding our environment". The objective of this competition was to contribute to the promotion of excellence through the evaluation of knowledge in terms of environmental practices but also the strengthening of links between establishments and education actors at the municipal level. I hope through this "Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum" program, to have the opportunity to be better equipped to stimulate among children and young people at the local and national level, an open mind in matters of citizenship, mutual aid, respect for the environment, community involvement, etc.
90	Akovognon Jérôme	DOHOU	ONG Jeunesse et Emplois Verts pour une Economie Verte (JEVEV) / YOUNGO		I am Akovognon Jérôme DOHOU, Beninese and specialist in Biodiversity Management and Conservation. An agro-sociologist by training and holder of a Master's degree in Biodiversity, climate issues are of particular interest to me. Benin being a country very affected by climate change in all sectors, I was already interested in the Bachelor's cycle in the different resilience strategies of agricultural producers in southern Benin to climate change. Further, in the Master's cycle, I analyzed the responses of ecosystems and species to climate change through the spatial distribution modeling in the present and the future of Piptadeniastrum africanum, vulnerable according to the IUCN Red List Benin in order to propose conservation actions. Currently, I am coordinator of the project to promote Eichornia crassipes, an invasive species to create jobs through the production of organic manure based on E. crassipes to improve the yield of producers and the quality of the product ; a strategy for climate adaptation and protection of aquatic resources. This project, funded by the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) to contribute to the empowerment of vulnerable populations in areas affected by floods and floods through the diversification of their income-generating activities in addition to fishing, which contributes to the loss of aquatic biodiversity. Aware that climate action concerns us all, I got involved as a volunteer, in charge of Biodiversity and Climate Actions within the NGO JEVEV, a local organization where I plan environmental education activities.https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100007026240671 for raising the awareness of young people and children on the climate emergency, climate advocacy actions as well as activities to restore the ecosystems of the wetlands of southern Benin in the context of climate and global changes. In order to make my actions carried out at the local level heard at the international level, I am part of the YOUNGO group and the International Student Network for the Climate (UniC) of the University of Laval. These different actions earned me my appointment as a Green Climate Ambassador in 2021 by Climate Change Africa Opportunities (CCAO). Recently, I was noticed by the various leaders to take part in the Local Conference Of Youth (LCOY) in order to share my experiences, learn more and better impact my grassroots community which is very affected by the effects of climate change. President of the CPN SAVE OUR BIODIVERSITY Club, I initiate the TOGETHER4GREENECOSYSTEMS concept https://twitter.com/DohouJerome1?t=P00H7qwzcnXsjKWfyR0shw&s=09where I do communication on ecosystem management.	Activist for the climate and the preservation of biodiversity, participated in Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) as a delegate, will not only allow me to share my experiences and points of view on the various issues related to climate change and the solutions to be made for the protection of the environment. Raising the voice of young people from rural areas and talking about the innovations of thousands of young Beninese in the field of biodiversity is what motivates me the most. It is an opportunity for me to meet and work with other young people committed to the climate in order to develop my network for more impact in the climate field; then to get trained on the different mechanisms in the face of climate change, accompany and lead joint youth advocacy and support youth-led and youth-focused actions to address the risks and harness the opportunities associated with climate mobility in Africa. Founding President of the Club Knowing and Protecting Nature SAVE OUR BIODIVERSITY, this conference will allow me to revitalize my club for more impacts and change of awareness of adolescents on the notions of environmental protection and mitigation of change climatic. In addition to all this, this conference will also allow me to present my project called "Biodiversity and climate change for kids", which aims to train and educate children and young people on the basic notions of biodiversity and climate change. Restitution sessions will be held within my organization and with several communities and especially young activists in order to inform them of the various conclusions reached and the recommendations resulting from this conference for more commitment within our societies for the protection of the environment. Add to this, I will set up a youth-biodiversity club within my community, with the aim of sharing opportunities and actions to be carried out in connection with the COP. My project will also be implemented.

She has been at the forefront of fighting for the rights of girls for more than five years now. She has been a mentee in different girl leadership programs where she has learnt advocacy, policy designing and implementation as well as graphics and media branding for higher impact and rapid change. She has led initiatives on different policy asks like the Emergency pad kits for girls in schools to reduce the number of school hours lost by girls due to stain, and over the years has worked with different organisations and young people. She is an Adolescent Girl Advisor at Global Fund for Women USA, one of the largest feminist organisations in the world, where she works alongside 12 other adolescent girls from around the globe in participatory grant making. She is a Women Deliver Young Leader and was a nominee for the International Children’s Peace Prize 2020. She is the Head of Planning at TWE (Teens World Empowerment) which is a youth led social impact project aimed at addressing the lack of quality education among young people via provision of digital skills and soft skills. She is a young board member and youth lead at COMAGEND (Common Action for Gender Development) Cameroon, where she works with Cameroonian girls especially Internally displaced girls, providing trainings on policy monitoring and implementation. She equally belonged to the generation equality championship fighting for equality and she’s doing this within the Beijing25 Central African Regional Working group and the Mifali (Moving In Feminism with Adolescent Leaders in Action) all aimed at creating safe spaces for the voices of girls and promoting servant leadership amongst adolescents and young people. She aims at making her life a blue print for girls, especially Cameroonian girls who have grown in the society’s sick norms and cultures. She envisions a world where women and girls are meaningfully participating in leadership, policy and decision making processes, a world where all stakeholders make a conscious effort to eliminate all forms of inequality and a world where young people are not just regarded as demanders or beneficiaries of actions, but as PARTNERS and INITIATORS of actions. “Let’s create, claim and influence our spaces" ~ Liz Lum	Space. Solidarity. Solution. These three key words represent my goal to attend COP27 as an ACMI Youth Forum Delegate Space: I am seeking to collaborate with other climate activists and change makers on creating more inclusive spaces for young people especially Adolescent Girls and Young Women in Climate Change. My work is predominantly women and girls' rights, and living in a conflict affected area with droughts and frequent floods, the effects of this climate crises is adverse on women and girls. The long distances to fetch water, no water in some areas for proper Menstrual Hygeine Management and the loss of property and spread of diseases during floods. This will fuel my passion towards climate justice. Solidarity. For me, climate change cannot be handled independently, it intersects with other social issues. At COP27, I am aiming to build bridges and connections with delegates on how to handle climate crisis in armed conflict settings like the English speaking regions of my country Cameroon. Solution. Solutions to climate change must be realistic and factor the actual situation of of people in a particular area. There are some solutions that will be great for the Global North but will be unrealistic to the Global South. Hence these solutions need to factor the hands on experiences and perspectives of people in a particular area. If not, we will have just false solutions and climate crises will still be a major issue. At COP27, I intend to expand my knowledge of climate change through sharing with and learning from other delegates. I was privileged to be invited to attend the first ever AfricaCSW (Commission on the Status of Women) in Nairobi Kenya, March 2022. This event was under the theme: "Acheiving Gender Equality and the empowerment of all women and girls in the context of climate change, environmental and disaster risk reduction policies and programmes." It was an avenue for me to advocate for inclusion of adolescent girls and young women (as I was the youngest (18) in the room) in major decision making spaces especially issues that directly affect them. I also contributed to the second issue that was released during the event and the Nairobi Declaration that was made. Pressing forward on accountability. Post COP27, my activities will re-echo local action, one that is inclusive, intersectional and progressive. I will engage more delegate led organisations to create new projects and these projects will be duplicated across our local communities to tackle climate change in these settings. I will also engage stakeholders, CSOs and media persons on demanding accountability towards climate justice in Cameroon.

I would like to participate in several sessions, in particular the stocktaking presentations on the issues of adaptation, climate finance and resilience. I also want to find myself alongside young activists like me who are doing noble deeds within their communities. My participation in COP27 as an ACMI Youth Forum delegate will allow me to actively participate in the Climate Mobility Pavilion (CMP) hosted by the Global Center for Climate Mobility (GCCM). In addition, I would like to make my skills available to serve at the Climate Mobility Pavilion (CMP). I am going alongside my fellow Delegates to work to represent my community, my country and my African continent well for a major success on November 10th which will be remembered as the Youth Day which will have changed the course of history thanks to the strength and synergy of young people. I must add that indeed, I come from a rural community where people are seriously affected by climate change. Many farmers, breeders and craftsmen suffer enormously from the consequences of climate change. Women and children who strive to survive on a daily basis. As an activist, I am the voice of all these people. I believe that this will be an opportunity to share with leaders and the various bodies what our poor populations are going through and to put on the table what we have as proposals for effective solutions for climate adaptation. Loss and damage issues are also a priority for our community and COP27 is the perfect forum to address all these issues to all stakeholders. I am convinced that my presence in this COP will not be in vain. However, I will make my know-how available to get opportunities, participate in the Side Events of ACMI Youth Forum at COP27, Global Center for Climate Mobility (GCCM), African Union Youth Envoy, UNICEF, the Migration Youth and Children’s Platform, YOUNGO, and the Resilient40 Africa according to the themes and possibilities that exist.

Verene is a Co-founder of African Research and Community Health Initiative (ARCH Initiative) which is a youth led initiative based in Rwanda which emphasize on finding solutions to urgent community health and environmental problems in Rwanda. Verene holds Bachelor of Science in Agroforestry from the University of Rwanda. She participated in the International Forum of Scientists on the Forests of the Congo Basin and other tropical basins of the planet in the fight against climate change (PRECOP27), from 5 to 7 September 2022 in Yangambi in the province of Tshopo, as a Prelude to the Preparatory Works of the 27th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework convention on Climate Change, COP27 representing Rwandese delegate. She has also represented Rwanda to an International Conference "Worldwide Perspective on Geographical Indications" which was held in Montpellier, France, July 2022 and presented the topic titled "Environmental Challenges and Climate change in accordance to Geographical Indications (GIs): What future for GIs in a hotter world? ". Verene has been invited to different conferences which focuses on environmental and climate change. She worked with Rwanda Association of local Government Authorities as an agronomist where she participated in different activities about sustainable agriculture, increasing forest cover, climate adaptation, and combating land degradation. She is actively involved in environmental conservation and climate change advocacy and research as career and she aspires to become an agent who will advocate for change and become part of solutions to the environmental problems facing developing countries.	Climate change and environment have been long term career for me, being a youth delegate in COP27 will be a great opportunity for me to growth both academically and professionally as I am completing a Master of Science in Natural Resources Management. Vulnerability to climate change reflects wider patterns of inequality and marginalization, with those who have contributed least to climate change standing to be most affected. Current patterns of human development continue to worsen exposure to climate hazards. Present adaptation actions are making a difference in some places, but most are reactive, prioritizing immediate and near-term risks. Transformational action on adaptation is needed. Addressing these impacts of climate change and being part of solutions will be a huge honor. As passionate researcher and advocate, it is my responsibility to contribute to science and all other possible ways to combat climate change, in this regard, I participated in International Forum of Scientists on the Forests of the Congo Basin and other tropical basins of the planet in the fight against climate change (PRECOP27) and present about carbon markets and emissions. I also did research on Environmental Challenges and Climate change in accordance to Geographical Indications (GIs) and present it to the International Conference "Worldwide Perspective on Geographical Indications" which was held in Montpellier, France, July 2022. One of our missions in African Research and Community Health Initiative is to encourage and help young researchers to carryout environmental and health-based research in order to improve our health, participating in COP27 will be a good way to mobilizing youths to take action either by research or any other way. I will be able to create network with people from different countries which will be useful to my professional career.

Over the years, I have mobilized youth and students for climate and environmental actions, advocacy, policy negotiation and meaningful dialogue with stakeholders and policymakers (https://globelegislators.org/news/globe-student-mp-climate-surgeries-expand-africa). Also, I have trained teachers on regenerative agriculture using Agroecological approach (https://youthfortodayinitiative.wordpress.com/2022/09/13/regenerative-agriculture-agroecology-training-for-teachers-and-students-and-establishment-of-vegetable-fruit-graden/). I founded an initiative; "The POP Nigeria Initiative on Climate Education" (https://thepopmovement.org/pop-nigeria-initiative/) with an endorsement by the Federal Ministry of Environment, Nigeria, to promote sustainable environmental practices and educate people about climate change resilience and adaptation using climate education. The initiative has reached over 200,000 targeted populations, planted over 3,000 domestic and indigenous trees and 1,000 fruit trees, and has implemented regenerative agroecological practices across 28 states of Nigeria. The POP Nigeria Initiative is recognized as the most active climate education initiative in Nigeria with best practices that address Climate Change by climate change (https://www.climate-chance.org/en/best-pratices/initiative-on-climate-education-in-nigeria-by-pop-protect-our-planet-movement/) and was awarded the R K Pachauri Global award for “Youth-Led Climate Action” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQZHCQh0pGM&t=1s). The initiative has played a crucial role in addressing climate change crises by influencing many youths in taking climate action. It is also recognized by the Nigerian Government as a project that has a positive influence on people’s behaviour in interacting with their environment. In 2022, I was selected as the only international youth climate activist from Nigeria to interview Rep Sam Onuigbo https://www.globelegislators.org/about-globe/hon-samuel-ifeanyi-onuigbo) who sponsored the Nigerian Climate Change Act 2021 to monitor Nigeria’s NetZero commitment by 2060 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YpF3tAfEhk&t=8s). I was elated to discover the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum - COP27 Delegate opportunity. As an ACMI COP27 Delegate, through teamwork with other delegates, I hope we can develop a Joint ACMI high-level statement with YOUNGO-UNFCCC which would serve as a youth-based framework for youth engagement and involvement in climate change dialogue, strengthen climate education and awareness, and spotlight the need for youth inclusion in policy formation and dialogue with policymakers and meaningful stakeholders’ engagement. Other interests include; Networking with delegates in creating a more robust climate action youth-based network that focuses on tackling the issue of climate change impact in the global South and as well strengthening youth base climate group that seeks to promote climate change adaptation and mitigation for climate-vulnerable communities and underrepresented groups. Also, I hope to add my voice to the voices of other youth delegates to demand climate justice, youth inclusion, involvement in climate change dialogue and policy implementation processes and easy-to-access climate funds for marginalized groups.
100	Jimcale	Faarah	Plastic Venture	https://www.facebook.com/plasticventure	Jimcale is 23-year-old fighting against plastic waste in his country of Somaliland. He was born and raised in Salaxley, Somaliland. Three years ago, he noticed plastic waste had become a major problem in his country, and no one was doing anything to improve it. In 2019, Jimcale founded Plastic Venture – a recycling startup that turns plastic bags and bottles into paving blocks and face shields. Over the past years, Jimcale's startup recycled over 2 million kilograms of plastic waste that would otherwise pollute the planet. As the COVID-19 pandemic emerged, Jimcale realized the need for high-quality, affordable masks to protect people in his country. Since most people in his community lived on low incomes, they had difficulty affording and accessing masks. Plastic Venture began to produce face shields using materials from recycled plastics. So far, Plastic Venture has successfully delivered over 5000 face shields in his country. Jimcale believes the safety of a face mask is a fundamental human right, so he plans to continue mask and shield production until everyone in Somaliland has one. Ultimately, Jimcale envisions a country and a continent free of plastic waste, where people and the planet's animals live decently and safely. Jimcale is a senior Mastercard scholar working towards his International Business & Trade Degree at the University of African Leadership University in Rwanda. He will continue to grow Plastic Venture and raise awareness about plastic waste in Somaliland. He was recently selected to attend the Youth4Climate: Driving Ambition event organized by the Government of Italy and the United Nation's development program, which will take place on September 19, 2022, in New York, USA.	It was a sunny Saturday in 2019 when I had fun swimming with friends. After we spent a while, one of my friends whispered. 'who can swim deeper?'. Immediately, I shouted, 'I can swim deeper." After a few seconds, I started swimming more profoundly. Sadly, a few seconds later, a disaster happened. As I got some sand from the bottom of the pond, I started swimming back, but a bowl of plastic immediately covered my neck. I couldn't swim back nor breathe well. I lost consciousness immediately. My body became weaker and weaker as I suffocated from lack of oxygen. At the moment, my life was between the line of death and life. However, seconds later, some friends swam back, saved me, and rushed me to the hospital. I spent almost a week in that hospital until I felt well. From this day, I promised to do something about plastic pollution in my country because I did not want any child to go through what I did. Five years later, I'm glad I founded a Venture that collects and recycles plastics to create a country free of waste plastics, where kids can swim safely. So far, we have collected and recycled over 70 tons of plastics that would otherwise end up in the Somali environment and is being recognized as one of the most impactful Startup companies in Horn of Africa. Hence, becoming an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 would be a privilege and enable me to get a world-class platform where I can share my work with more people and create lifetime connections and families worldwide.

I am interested to become an African Climate Mobility Initiative Youth Forum delegate for COP27 because firstly I support the objectives of ACMI and I believe that as an African youth, it’s my duty to provide solutions to problems facing the African continent and so I intend to bear the ACMI flag and join efforts to achieve its goals even after the youth forum. Although Climate Change is a global challenge, Africa at its level should develop rapid solutions of adaptation and mitigation taking into consideration its context by developing solutions and strategies that adapts to its continent. This is because Africa is warming faster than the rest of the world on average and large proportions of Africa may become uninhabitable in the nearest future. I wish therefore to represent Africa in the COP27 and seek solutions that would adapt to Africa’s Challenge of climate change and migration. Early this September, I was part of the Youth Dialogue on Adaption, a summit hosted by the Global Centre for Adaption in Rotterdam where the challenges of climate change was discussed and solutions were presented by H.E Ban Ki-Moon, the 8th United Nations Secretary-General . It was an enriching experience that inspired me to join the train to advocate for climate action. As such this forum would deepen my knowledge and skills in climate action and climate mobility and would prompt me to take actions towards climate mobility. I am also interested to become the ACMI Youth delegate for COP27 because while at the University, my research projects centred on the refugee crisis in Africa. Although other causes for refugees are usually enumerated, climate refugees in displacement crisis are usually forgotten or lightly taken into consideration in Africa. It is therefore time for this thematic to change and due regards should be given to it by finding solutions to climate change. Through this forum I seek to change the thematic on climate mobility and bring more young people to be interested in it. This is because if African youths accept that Climate Change is forcing more people to migrate due to drought, food and water shortages then they would accelerate efforts and seek solutions that would reduce the effect of Climate Change on their continent. After the COP27, I Intend to conduct numerous researches on climate mobility in Africa by providing solutions that fits Africa’s context and also advocate on social media for climate change actions through talks and I would also engage youths at the national level to seek solutions towards climate mobility.

ACMI Youth Forum came at the right time when the Global South is fighting for a position at the top table, exposure to different platforms of expression, fund to address social and environmental issues faced by humanity. As a delegate from Botswana, one of the Southern African countries facing the effects of climate change due to its geographical location will give us a chance to voice our concern, key deliverables and demands, share with the whole world on how the Climate change is affecting us and destroying livelihoods, it will be a great opportunity to build a resilient network of experts, youth and also engage with key decision makers at COP27 to hold them accountable and also propose measures in place to mitigate and adapt to the rapid changing climate. We have worked with a lot of remote villages in my country and the study revealed that there is a great migration from rural areas to urban spaces due to climate change, livelihoods are no longer sustainable for one to live in, and this has affected resources, there is massive land use changes in order to accommodate the population in town, there is also exploitation of natural resources. One of our project at Green Habitat Botswana which we present to the World and has shown potential of working and promoting livelihoods sustainability is recycling food waste into Organic compost to reduce greenhouse(methane) gas production, encourage the use of organic fertilizers, improve soil fertility for food production and also create sustainable jobs in rural areas to reduce mobility of dwellers in remote areas I am motivated to be part of the delegates to COP27 because i am anchor between the Government, People and the Environment, platforms like these gives us who cannot afford to be part of the decision making and also advocating for our people at the same time exploiting opportunities available for others to be engaged in changing the World, i do this by engaging local communities through radio programs, social media, web content and also live interviews. I share what i learned from the deliberations, create a road map, engage with the government for the people and explore possible and noble solution to affected societies,as a Youth i am still learning and it will be a great opportunity to be this year's COP27 ''African Dream"' and let the World see the impacts and effects AFRICA is exposed to due to CLIMATE CHANGE.

I'm currently work as a Commissioner of Youth and Head of World Youth Movement at International Human Rights Commission I believe we can possible it together, we are stronger, we can make a change. As an individual, through an organisation, or with our investment or thought Youth awareness and advocating on climate we can do more for a change on climate change. Together we can make sure young people’s voices are at the heart of key decisions around action against climate change.The reasons why children and/or their families migrate (drivers of migration) within Africa vary and are contingent on social, economic, political and cultural factors. Some people migrate to access better educational, economic, health and employment opportunities while some migrate to flee discrimination, poverty or to reunite with their families. Some migrate in response to crisis (natural and man-made), climate change or to access fundamental human rights and basic services.

116	Chioma	Ewurum	Clean Technology Hub	https://cleantechnologyhub.com/	Chioma Ewurum is the Head of Research at Clean Technology Hub Nigeria where she leads and manages a team of over 10. She has conducted several high-level qualitative and quantitative research projects aimed at improving access to clean energy and building climate resilience across Africa. She holds a PhD in Chemical and Environmental Engineering from the University of Nottingham and frequently speaks at local and international conferences where she highlights the socio-economic benefits of clean energy and climate resilience in Africa.	I recently wrote a paper titled" Climate Change Adaption Strategies for Rural Farmers" which proposes potential methods to build climate resilience amongst rural farmers ( majority of which are women living on less than $1 per day), to prevent climate forced mobility. With thr constant shrinking of the lake chad and other lakes across arid agroecological zones in Africa due to climate change, vulnerable communities are forced to migrate. Small scale farmers in developing countries, despite being more vulnerable to climate change, only receive about 1.7 percent of global climate finance. I am passionate about the objectives of ACMI and would be privileged to be a Youth Forum delegate at COP27. Be a youth delegate will allow me to advocate for further climate resilience solutions for African communities and address climate-forced displacement and migration.

Our objective is to reduce the impact of challenges faced by youths, through creation of employment in informal sector by reaching out to many families as possible to ease their suffering bought about by poverty, thereby easing the tension on their income as most of them are the main provider for their households from food to rent and not limited to school fees. Currently I am working with youthful participants of which we are able to enhance our quality of lives by creation of beaded products ranging from beaded lanyards and not limited to promotional accessories giveaways. In pursuance of a heathy environment, the beaded lanyards plays a huge role in eliminating the traditional lanyards with plastic sleeves which contributed to the pollution of environment. On the other hand, the beaded lanyards are reusable thereby contributing the goal of plastic free campaign by eliminating single use plastic. We have managed to do promotional accessories giveaways for 5th Sustainable Tourism Africa Summit 2019 and TSENDA. And beaded lanyards for 5th Sustainable Tourism Africa Summit 2019, which was held on May 15th, Global MICE Summit which was held September 2019 and AFRICA CONFERENCE ON SEXUAL HEALTH & RIGHTS 2020. With these funds, our organization will be able to bridge socio-economic disadvantage known to predict both social-emotional difficulties and mental breakdown (Bradley & Corwyn, 2002). The increased risk associated with poverty is attributed to a lack of access to resources that more wealthy families can afford, in addition to exposure to stressors, such as poor housing quality and a lack of structure (Bradley & Corwyn, 2002;Hetzner, Johnson, & Brooks-Gunn, 2010).

Prior to joining graduate school, he was working as a graduate assistant at Hoima District Local Government under the Planning and natural resource Departments. In the departments, he was working on the Development Response to Displacement Impacts Project. Jotham is currently working on assessing the impact of the oil and gas sub sector on the economic growth and development in Uganda. He has been able to gain wide knowledge on both the economic and environmental effects of oil and gas development. He has participated a wide range of conferences aimed at econometric and statistical modelling in application to environment and health held by Princeton University and the Pan African Research Council. Recently, He has under taken a wide range of courses on green economy, climatic change, renewable energy, sustainable consumption and production in Africa, land rights and human rights. He took volunteers hip work under the girl child education project acting as a school implementer and as a mentor. Jotham, while in Uganda is engaged in volunteer ship work in the natural resource department at Hoima District Local Government where he engages in tree planting, teaching local on the negative effects of environmental degradation and also engages in pushing the narrative of girl child education in various secondary schools. He aspires to be a able to pass on knowledge on climatic change to a wide community and also be able fully engage in changing the status quo regarding environmental conservation.	One of the major problems we are facing and we have a solution to it is climate change. It’s a concern for everyone as it has resulted into environmental problems. It a threat to the existence of our planet as a whole and hence all of us need to engage in alleviating our environment. To me, bring forward beneficial ideas and other mechanisms which are helpful in pushing forward the objectives of the Youth forum. I look at Youth Forum as a pathway to drive forward my agenda for networking with other climate advocates, learning more about our environment. Through the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative Youth Forum, I will be able to interact with organizations and institutions engaged in changing the status quo of our environment. We as Uganda we have lost a lot of forests and turned them into sugar cane growing areas. We have continuously failed to adhere to climate policies and hence we face a huge problem evidenced by the constant floods along river Nile, landslides in Mountain Elgon areas and long drought and famine in the northern part of Uganda. All these problems can be solved if we decided to act. This gives me the morale to stand up and participate in climatic change forums aimed at changing the status quo. COP27 is a live time event which will help me to meet with people and share ideas of what we are experiencing in our areas and also suggest possible solutions to our problems. Currently am I am researching on the impacts of the controversial oil and gas sub sector on the economic growth and development of Uganda. Already the sub sector has pushed the European Parliament to pass a motion about its related infrastructures such as the East African Crude Oil Pipeline in Uganda and Tanzania. The would be developed projects are being undertaken in my home district and hence any environmental damage would first be experienced by me. I come up to push for climatic change policies so as we can leave in an environmentally friendly future. I have undertaken courses in sustainable consumption and production in Africa, green economy and trade, renewable energy, human rights and land rights with a view of being able to talk with background knowledge of what am talking about.

He is currently the Director of the Institute of Language Services as well as a lecturer at the Department of Economics of East Africa University. He is also a lead trainer and consultant at SAS Advisory Services where he trains university graduates, commercial banks and employees of commercial companies on research skills, communication skills, and financial literacy. Recently, he led a state-wide study report funded by UNFPA on the enablers and barriers of girls’ transition to secondary and higher education. Formerly, he has worked with Economic Policy Research Center and Centenary Bank. Luqman is a winner of Prince Badru Memorial Kakungulu Award. He graduated with a First-class degree in Economics and Masters in Islamic Banking. He also completed the CPB certification in 2019. More to that, he enrolled into various online courses from world’s leading universities. His main areas of research publications lie in the intersection of human development, digital education, graduate unemployment, mental health, gender gap and COVID-19. He is very much interested in community service, public leadership, financial inclusion, human capital development, climate change and sustainable disruptive local innovation.	5 years ago, I pledged with myself that I need to take up an individual responsibility to do my part in fighting for climate justice, and that is why most of my recent works including research have been focused in fighting climate change and in joining forces with professionals across the world who are also doing their part in reducing the effects of climate change. Currently, I am undertaking a social research on ‘Recurring Floods in Qardho, Somalia: Investigating the institutional risk mitigation and risk management policies in Puntland’. This research targets Qardho which is a victim city of recurring flash floods due to the impact of climate change. The most recent flash floods in Qardho in April 2020 left marks of damages; harming the lives of thousands which obligated a wide range of harmful effects on the citizens, their health and their belongings, and on public infrastructure weakening the already limping economic activities. More than 8,000 families have been affected by the floods, out of which 3,750 were displaced. The remaining 4,460 households have experienced the negative impact of the flooding in many other ways such as partial damage in small businesses, properties, injuries and loss of household items. Also, recently, we organized ‘the Delegates Conference’ with the theme of, ‘Climate Change is everyone’s responsibility’. Key note speeches and presentations on how climate mobility has increased from an area to area and its socio-economic effects have been made. The main intention was to engage the community at grass-root levels so that they best understand the harmful consequences of climate change, and that everyone’s role is equally important. An opportunity to attend the ACMI forum will hugely add value to my current work, and meeting professionals who work on this matter will be of a life-time opportunity for me. More to that, this forum offers a space where the latest developments and research on climate mobility are discussed; and this is my greatest driving motivation. Learning, engaging and exchanging best practices with diverse talents from diverse geographical representations from the continent is something else that has motivated me to apply for a delegate at ACMI Youth Forum.

Prior to joining USIU-Africa in August 2019 to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations, he attended a one-month pre-university orientation program in July 2019 at the University of Rochester in New York, United States. Eliseus won the 2014 edition of the East African Students Essay Writing competition, and wrote a play titled "Amunguranka Ni yo Mazikesha" on democratic values, ranked first in the national competition. Brilliant in natural sciences, Eliseus ranked third in the National Exam for entry in the Medical field of studies at university in 2018. In February 2022, his AU-EU Essay (The AU-EU Partnership that Reaches the Underprivileged African) got selected as one of the top contributions ahead of the AU-EU Summit 2022. In July 2022, he participated in the International Youth Diplomacy Conference held in Accra, Ghana under the theme, “Promoting Youth Participation in Sustainable Development Goals and Climate Change”.	I believe the Conference of Parties is an instrumental platform in shaping a green world we all want to save our shared home planet earth. As one of the young people, custodian of the future, it is crucial that I take part in such climate-related conferences to ensure that I raise my voice, get heard, and actively participate in designing the lifesaving agenda instead of just following an agenda written at the table I was not invited to attend. I come from a marginalised community in Kirundo the most affected province by drought and famine in Burundi. I have taken part in different youth conferences on climate such as “Stronger Together for Climate” youth-led policy dialogue that happened in February 2022 gathering Africa-Europe youth ahead of the African Union - European Union Summit. Additionally, I am working on a women empowerment project that aims at equipping Burundian women farmers with climate resilient seeds and fertilizers in the most drought-hit regions of Burundi. I believe that participating in the COP27 as an ACMI Youth Forum delegate will not only equip me with skills and knowledge on which actions should be implemented to mitigate the climate change effects, but also will serve me as a platform to network, create friendships with other youth from different parts of the world and meet potential partners and/or funders who can support me in the implementation of my project. I am excited to bring my critical and creative thinking skills, cross-cultural understanding, IT skills, basic skills in policy analysis and making, and problem-solving to the success of the conference.
144	Zipporah	Mureithi	Kenyan Youth Biodiversity Network	https://youth4biodiversity.org	Zipporah Mureithi is a young conservation leader from Kenya. I am passionate about working with young people to address disproportionate environmental challenges, such as climate change and global warming, enhance youth inclusion in policy spaces and research. My work mostly entails youth-led environmental conservation, landscape and nature restoration, marine protection, climate-smart farming systems, environmental policy, and environmental journalism.	Being part of COP27 delegation would be a dream come true. It would give me an opportunity to learn on risks and harness the opportunities associated with climate mobility in Africa. It would be a chance to learn, network and interact with other brilliant participants from other parts of the world. I will be able to learn on how they are dealing with climate issues in their countries. Being part of this gathering will provide a chance of developing practical solutions on issues of climate change. From this youth forum, I will be able to gain new technical and analytical skills that will help in solving climate issues. I look forward to joining this forum as it will create an opportunity for collaboration with other people across the globe for sustained positive impacts. My experience in climate mobility involves matters of environmental action and climate justice. I closely work with communities to enable them identify and plan interventions of climate change adaptation. They are able to negotiate with the government and other stakeholders the best practice models and approaches to solve existing impacts of climate change. I work with women and youth and train them on the variations of traditional seasons, unpredictable weather patterns and emergence of new pests and diseases. With the help of the local county government, we introduce to them new farming technologies and practices that help to adapt to climate change. This helps to enhance resilience to climate change. I organize regular advocacy campaigns and community awareness programmes in schools on impacts of climate change. I am involved in tree planting programs that help to rehabilitate degraded lands. Using strategies such as individual and joint trainings, follow ups, field days, reach out outreaches and regular stakeholder meetings, I am able to introduce various approaches to mitigate the impacts of climate change.

I am currently undergoing my National Youth Service at the National Population Commission Headquarters, Nigeria. I am a graduate rooted in education field. Diligent professional with a background in Education/Political Science (at prestigious University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria) and passionate with collaborative efforts and hard-working with research program support and organizational skills. As part of my commitment to strengthen and contribute to the development of my society and also to pull up all achieved experience in the course of my national youth service at National Population Commission Headquarters, Nigeria, I have engaged with committed efforts to participate in the implementation project tagged 'Sparkle Project' which aims to contribute to improve health and development of youth and adolescents in Nigeria through effective use of evidence project that was supported by Ford Foundation, U.S.A. and organized by University of Sciences, Ondo City, Ondo State, Nigeria. Also, I participated in the stakeholders implementation project on the impact of climate and population. There is a growing awareness that the adverse impacts of climate change increasingly contribute, directly and indirectly, to different forms of mobility that unfold within countries and across borders which my availability is assured for further address.	The motivation was geared up as a result of avenue to meet with youths to make contributions and opinions on the need for climate change and mobility that has become global issue. My experience on climate mobility remains a priority I must continue to work on. The impact of climate mobility and change is well known to be a global phenomenon and a common concern to mankind. This was also addressed at the 2022 United Nation Assembly that was held in New York that was contained in the national statement delivered by President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Nigeria as a country, is confronted with different climatic and environmental issues ranging from drought and desertification in North East, coastal erosion in the South West, population in South South, gully erosion and deforestation in South East. The need to build resilience and strengthen adaptive capacities in the country can never be overemphasized. In this quest, there is strong need to understand how climate change and mobility impacts various demographic groups and the adaptation resilience building needs of each group in the country and world at large. In the course COP27 tour if am privilege, I believe all hands will be on deck for achieving desire goal because all efforts have been in collaboration with Africa Health Budget Network (AHBN).

I like taking strolls, going for adventures when I have the opportunity to, outdoor camps are a favorite. Puppies are a specialty, love dancing, music, physical fitness and reading. Am not really an introvert person, but I prefer knowing my environment first.	The world is in so much climate criss as we speak now and for that reason I really think it was this innovative idea is very much appreciated. I am one person who loves nature and I believe it's our source of survival, so if we take care of nature the chances of survival raised. I wish to be able to take my children and grandchildren out to the parks, go outdoors and have a sense of nature. I think we need to use less of these machinery that produce carbon monoxide on a regular and just try to cut some of them. Africa can make a diverse change to the world. Unlike developed countries, Africa has not yet been exposed to the wide use of carbon monoxide usage and I think it can be maintained. I really feel I would bring more change given an opportunity like this one and the future would be prolonged.

A graduate from University of The Gambia BSc in Political Science. The current Leader of Gunjur Youth movement for environment. I am serving as the Information Communication and Public Relations Officer of Gambia Environmental Alliance. I served as the Media Executive for support our own Gambian Foundation that focuses on Youth matters ranging from environmental injustice, entrepreneurship, talents and skills etc. The current vocal point for National Environmental Agency and Gambia Maritime Administration in quarterly coastal clean up exercise in Gunjur. I am also serving as the Social Media manager for Pan African Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA) Gambia. I was part of the few Gambian Youths who attended the just concluded Africans Ministerial Conference on the Environment in Dakar. I was given the privilege to be part of the African Group of negotiators specifically on climate change whose voice are been documented for what Africa needs in the COP27 in order to address the brunt of climate change in LDCs.	I am a Youth leader who focuses his advocacy on environmental conservation, restoration, and adaptation measures and applying to become ACMI delegate in the upcoming COP27 will be a great privilege. I believe in representing ACMI will be an immerse impact for why we are are in COP27 as I was part of the just concluded Africa Ministerial Conference on Environment where we have lengthy discuss about the demand of Africa in climate action and as well highlighted the thematic areas of focus which we cannot afford to loose the track of as Africans. Serving as a delegate for this Organization will add more weight to achieve our purpose in COP27. I have been working as environmental activist for the past 6 years in a local community and at national level. As an environmentalist I was able to distinguish the burning environmental challenges that is confronting the local people, youths, women and indigenous peoples in The Gambia. I have personally interacted with all this category of people and know their environmental problems because I serve as their mouthpieces in disseminating information to both Government and Non- governmental Organizations. In my leadership with my team we were able to plant over 5000 plants of indigenous species in local communities to avert future climatic negative consequences. Having given this opportunity to participate as a delegate will further enhance my capacity and knowledge to further stand for my people.
155	Wycliffe	Mponin	UNEP MGCY / Stardard foundation/youthlead .org	www.youthenvironment.org/ www.youthlead.org/ www.anyl4psd.org	Iam aperson who is persistent, in my life ihave always believed that there is a way through no matter how difficult the situation might be, so when I'm aleader iwill make sure that i persist in each and every situation because it's one of quality of good leadership, that every leader should uphold and follow. As aleader in my community I envision a world that honors both our commonalities and our differences, not only actively recruits women and girls to schools but which actively addresses any barriers to their meaningful participation in society, also where young men can learn the roles that are handed to us as children and where education has ripple effect that creates a fairer world for women, where every single African young women has a community around her who recognizes her potential," I envision a world where people who are marginilized are given a bright future. For example, when we speak about people with disabilities, we see the infrastructure work against us. I envision a world where the physical barriers that hindered us to succeed are eradicated and society accepts that there are people who have special needs and need accessibility to all places. Therefore to help in this way, I believe it makes the lives of all human being better. It's at that time, when these steps are taken; that people could complete on an equal footing and everyone will be accounted for," I'm sure ACMI youth forum are breaking visible and invisible barriers to ensure inclusiveness and equality for all. I spent some years of my life surrounded by trees in a small town in kilgoris,Narok county, so, while I understood the importance of forests, Approximately 3billion people depend on burning solid fuels or kerosine to meet household energy needs. However, my perspective changed when my family travelled to Maasai mara National reserve. As I stood in the middle of a forest filled with trees 90 feet tall, I realized tha forests are special and each one is unique Each forest has its own ecosystem, plant and animal life and beauty. I believe everyone should have the opportunity to experience the beauty and wonder of not just forests, but also everything nature has to offer— meaning that we need to keep our world clean and healthy. Since then, the environment, and thus conservation, has become one of my biggest interests. When I first came to college in Nairobi last fall,i I knew that I wanted to join an organization that would do its part to fight for our planet. After a year of struggling to find a group who shared my passion and determination, I came upon UNEP MGCY. Here, not only could I work to help the environment, could also pursue my other interests of communications and health issues. It has been dream of mine for a while now to come to , NAIROBI, learn the tools of the trade at Kenya water Training Institute and begin a career in water engineering, specifically in conservation By working as aservice provider this fall at UNV .org, I have the opportunity to get hands-on experience working with policymakers, the government and non-profit organizations who do incredible work. While I have been to a few beautiful place in Kenya, there are still many, many more places in the world I want to explore.	The future is with us because we are the transformative leaders that the Africa continent needs. And although that's a big responsibility and if it's something you're passionate about and motivated about, being in this community where there are people with the same passions sorts of keep going and motivated about. And because this network exists it's possible to achieve some of these very big but achievable goals In 2019 in my small home town kilgoris, in my community…I found myself in violation of the earth’s well being in the food I ate, the clothing I wore and the products I put in, on and around my body. Throughout the month of january, I became immersed with how to truly live a sustainable lifestyle, to understand the impacts of things like plastic microbeads invading our oceans, toxic e-waste disposal in developing countries, the devastating effects of industrial farming on our soil, and on and on. A passion I never knew existed propelled me through the month to do everything possible to spread awareness and mobilize change. My team and I made presentations to faculty and staff, at market gatherings, we sent out school-wide videos, called government officials and made so many posters that our markers ran out of ink. Amidst the excitement, my thinking began to shift. It shifted from looking at a jug of milk as…well…a jug of milk to its impacts – fracking, contaminated water, plastics in rivers and cows pumped with antibiotics and growth hormones. It was not the image of a world that was intentional and thoughtful about people and planet. A funny thing happens when you follow your passion. As soon as I started reaching out to students, faculty and staff, I found many people who believed in a more sustainable future for our community, our world and our planet. Early junior year, a group of friends and I talked about how amazing it would be to have solar panels that doubled as sun protectors on our boiling-hot classroom building. Today, what we deemed as a far-fetched idea, is a reality. Who knew that a small group of students with a daydream could be the final push for a more sustainable campus? Looking back, so many people had a hand in the project. It underscores the existence of a massive force of positive change that is assembling across the globe. We see it grow every year during Project Stardard foundation amongst my high school, Training Institute and college peers around the world. Activism is my pleasure for conserving this planet.” This planet is our home. As young people who are hardly making difference, we need to raise our voices far and wide. Let’s “dream and do” like never before. It’s up to us! to change the better tomorrow, Taking care of our common home is an idea that, for our world today, is no longer an issue of tomorrow but an issue of today. Decreasing the amount of energy that I use and encouraging my friends and family to do the same is a way that I can directly affect the amount of fossil fuels burned for energy. Wherever we go, my friends and I turn off unused lights,plant trees where are no trees and only use the amount of water that is necessary. These are particularly easy ways to help the environment because they take no time out of the day, require little to no effort, and are easy habits to get into and spread to other people.

I enjoy solving problems the right way.	Rain seasons have shifted even in a country like Uganda believed to have very favourable weather conditions, there are times our acenters always believed to receive rain in certain months all throughout the year(the planting seasons). Today not all the plants sawed in those times will successfully grow as planned(like before). This is because of the shifted/less rainy season the we believed to have always had but currently don't. Whenever the above crosses my mind, thoughts of a new equilibrium weather season run through my mind. With too much wonders of how worse than we are used to this new equilibrium is to be. Through the different activities and practices we can adapt to reduce on this negative effect, I believe that the new equilibrium for our days to come weather seasons will be not be as worse as it would have been if we rectactantly choose not to act on it now. Among the most common cause of the problem is Fumes(pollution) disposed in the environment. And I believe if more Automobiles used in our country were changed to run fully on electricity. This will greatly reduce on the pollution levels caused by automobiles thus reducing on the overall fumes that are to affect our new equilibrium weather season to come. Getting to know deeply in order to explain and advise more on the current climate state in our country and the world at large, is not only going to improve my ability encourage more pipo to adopting to favourable activities but also enable me to technologically encourage the use as I reduce on the bias on the use of electric vehicles in our country. This inturn will reduce activities that currently affect our climate in my region and country. A percentage reduction that will be added to the rest of the participating countrys to collectively enable a favourable new weather equilibrium than the case if no action was taken.

I am currently doing my first year at the University of Zambia were I am pursuing a degree in electrical engineering.	I write to apply for the ACMI because I believe climate affects each and every society today and I would like to educate others on the effects of climate change. Back in northern Zambia I observed different effects of climate change, for example people used to cut down trees excessively and this was affecting the rainfall pattern. Hence I would like to be a delegate so that I can gain more knowledge on climate and be able to share the little I'll know with different societies.

There is a growing awareness that the adverse impacts of climate change increasingly contribute, directly and indirectly, to different forms of mobility that unfold within countries and across borders. While, to date, most studies on climate-related migration have focused on adult populations, emerging evidence indicates that children also become uprooted and displaced due to climate change, or they are left behind when parents are compelled to move in search of livelihoods. There is an expanse of research on children and mobility, although not specifically framed as driven by climatic factors. This includes both children’s own mobility, as migrants or refugees, and the mobility of parents who leave children behind in their places of origin. This literature highlights the multiple risks children encounter during their journeys (e.g. violence, trafficking, forced labour, and other forms of exploitation) and the disadvantaged situation children find themselves in (e.g. high rates of school dropout, poor access to health care and other services), particularly when they move through unofficial and unsafe channels or as unaccompanied minors. These outcomes, in turn, can have lasting implications for children’s development and may reinforce and exacerbate their vulnerability and exposure to climate and other types of risks.

I was raised in Laikipia County where water Scarcity is the order of the day. Families have to walk for miles during drought seasons to get water and sometimes all they find us polluted water barely fit for human consumption. This has been my motivation in life that lead me to the school of environment in campus and to my career. The only way for African families to survive these times of climate change adversities is by; the countries that emit most of the Green House Gases to the environment reduce Gheorghe emissions and contribute to mitigation and payment of loss and damage through payment of climate finance to the most vulnerable and affected in Africa by climate change. I continue to advocate for climate finance for adaptation by Amplifying Civil Society Organisations Voices and empowering locally led climate solutions.	This avenue gives me a chance to continue creating visibility for the need for climate action now and to advocate for the Voices of women, youth, persons with disability and indeginous communities to be heard and empower them to lead local climate solutions

I was a participant and attendee the World Youth Forum in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, 2022 Editions, representing Ethiopia.	I am interested to become an African Climate Mobility Initiative Youth Forum delegate for COP27 because firstly I support the objectives of ACMI and I believe that as an African youth, it’s my duty to provide solutions to problems facing the African continent and so I intend to bear the ACMI flag and join efforts to achieve its goals even after the youth forum. Although Climate Change is a global challenge, Africa at its level should develop rapid solutions of adaptation and mitigation taking into consideration its context by developing solutions and strategies that adapts to its continent. This is because Africa is warming faster than the rest of the world on average and large proportions of Africa may become uninhabitable in the nearest future. I wish therefore to represent Africa in the COP27 and seek solutions that would adapt to Africa’s Challenge of climate change and migration.

He is a Young African Landscape Leadership fellow passionate about restoring degraded landscapes and African seascapes. His interest is in Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling and Dynamic in Agro-ecosystems. His co- contribution, "Organic Saline Soil Remediation to Agroforestry: A Potential Paradigm for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation in Nigeria" was presented at the Young Researcher Meeting on Conservations conference and Sustainable Use of Forest Systems in Spain. He is also a member of the International Forestry Student Association, Youth in Landscape Initiative, British Ecological Society, and Association of Tropical Biology. He is currently attending COP27 Simulation in Egypt where he is participating in the capacity building and conference simulation prior to the real COP in Sharm El-sheick. within this event, He has received several trainings on Policy making, negotiations and position report writings.	The world is changing, cities are growing, the economy is expanding, and the demand for a cleaner and more sustainable ecosystem. The lack of Implementing climate change adaptation measures is a catalyst to this rapid change. To bring this into perspective, FAO (2018) reported that deforestation in Nigeria is about 3.7%, causing the loss of 200,000 to 400,000 ha of forest cover annually; this remains a great concern – damaging the ecosystem and biodiversity and natural carbon sinks. My desire to contribute to solving some of these challenges attracted me to climate change advocacy. Upon being trained and equipped by youth-led organizations like African Climate Change Ambassador Program organized by Ain Shams University (Egypt), the Young African Landscape Program, and International Forestry Students Association, I firmly believe I have what it takes to make a significant impact in the fight against climate change. I am currently a youth leader in Landscape Restoration with the Global Landscape Forum (GLF). My work is related to climate change mitigation by carbon sequestration, conservation of biodiversity on the land, including forests and soil micro-organisms, and collaboration across fields to achieve these goals. I collaborated with the Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria (FRIN) and the International Institute of Agriculture (IITA) in planting over 7000 seedlings of indigenous trees in 20 secondary schools in Southwest Nigeria. I am currently working on the effect of land degradation and soil erosion on the livelihood of rural communities in Rwanda. I recently attended the Commonwealth Youth Forum (CYF2022) in Kigali as a Youth delegate nominated by the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU). I was presented with an opportunity to attend and participate in crucial discussions affecting the young people of the Commonwealth. I actively engaged in the youth action lab to brainstorm on one of the event's core themes (Sustainability and Climate Change) and helped my team develop a practical solution to plastic pollution in our environment. Youth is over 60% of the total of 2.4 billion people in Commonwealth nations. In pursuing climate action and biodiversity conservation, political leaders cannot forget the youths, and they cannot forget nature. Youth worldwide need to be mobilized for nature and climate and hold our leaders accountable for climate and ecological crises. I believe that the role of youth in sustainability and climate change adaptation lies in technology, using universalized and digitalized innovative agroecological solutions, regenerative agriculture, and the internet of things. Currently, I am participating in the COP27 Simulation program organized by the British University of Egypt and UNDP. I have gained relevant trainings and skills on how to contribute to Policy making (Negotiations and lobbying delegates) to tackle the issues of Climate crisis and loss & damage. Based on my relevant academic and work experience, I strongly believe that I am a good fit to participate fully in the COP27. I, therefore, look forward to a favourable consideration.

With roughly a third of all emissions coming from the way we move, the transport industry is one of biggest sources of emissions globally, and it’s no secret that an urgent transition to sustainable practices is needed. Despite numerous commitments and pledges to reach net zero, the transition to sustainable transportation is not happening fast enough, creating an ‘execution gap (in global south most especially Sub Sahara African Countries)’ considering lack of policies/legislations and Programs/Projects between the ambition communicated, and the actions and investments needed to start implementation. Currently used vehicles dominate developing countries (most especially Nigeria) and definitely more used vehicles will double or triple in developing countries in the coming years. Therefore, in accelerating bolder climate action and systems in managing motorization for development and sustainability of clean transportation in Africa inspires attending COP 27 thereby fostering collaboration across Africa region and strategies, which accelerates ambition in this important work. It’s clearly a regenerative pathway with new economic thinking in areas like technology advancement, societal awareness (reduce transport inequality) and policy driver also, it basically building a young generation with restructuring mindset to provide system transformation in delivering transport decarbonization.

186	Aderonke	Arogundade	Scib Nigeria & Co.Ltd		My name is Aderonke Arogundade, from Lagos Nigeria. Born into a family of 4 and I am the 3rd child. I grew up in Lagos, did my primary/ secondary in Lagos but my tertiary education was in Ondo state. Growing up was tough especially when I dropped out from secondary school but I did not let that deter me, I kept pushing myself and eventually, I finished with distinction in my tertiary school. All those experiences have shaped me into who I am now, a committed and passionate individual who wants the best for the generations to come.	I have always been passionate and curious about climate and being part of the online British council for future leaders where we got to talk about things that affects our community and how we can bring change to our environment, it further deepens my passion and commitment towards creating a better world for the generations to come. I feel being part of the delegate(s) will further broaden my vision as I will get to meet people from diverse ethnic group and rub minds together. Also, it’s an opportunity for me to connect with leaders who are passionate about climate mobility.

189	David	Koskei	Save Mau Forest C.B.O	https://twitter.com/save_mau?t=sol77TPwbeYsZgL_3N_Dzg&s=09	My name is DAVID KOSKEI from Kenya, Nakuru county, Mau forest. Iam a Youth from indigenous community, Climate change champion against activities driving carbon gases and environmental activist safeguarding the interest of Mau forest restoration and it's rivers. Iam a freelance journalist basing my arguments on the need to conserve Biodiversity. Iam a Kenyan journalist from indigenous community (Ogiek) living in Mau forest, Kenya. Having the journalism skills have worked in community radio station based at Mau forest area, which I was running five programs a week from January 2019 upto November 2020 under which I pulled back for a school continuation. Having been in radio station for two years, I was able to advocate for environmental rights, which includes taking care of rivers and water towers. Planting of trees was part of my agenda on air and physically through frequent visits to the community. I was able as well to find a tree nursery volunteered by community members and we were able to plant more than 10,000 trees between the said period. Upto now, the trees we planted was able to retain the naturality of the forest it was already destroyed. Through social media, I was able to lobby youth to campaign against throwing of plastics and washing of clothes near rivers . Currently have been going on with frelelancing reporting which some mainstream media covered including planting of indigenous trees and fencing of the forest among others at the Mau forest in Nakuru county, Kenya. Recently I with other developed organizations we planted more than 2,000 trees, most recently at Mau forest, Kenya's high water tower and was attended by more than 250 youth and Community Forest association members who I lobbied through my WhatsApp forum, that is example of the work have been doing since early 2019. The inclusiveness of other media outlets was a boost because it has been actually featured in the mainstream media outlet in Kenya like Citizen tv, this totally matches with the theme "Environmental Crime" And it will really help me in continuing advocy of getting back Mau forest the same way it was many years before. It is a crime to sit down and see negative environmental activities like throwing of plastic papers into the river, cutting down of tree and building at the water tower. Iam the Chairperson of Save The Mau Forest Organisation formed early 2022 to foresee the betterment of Mau forest and its rivers; Mau forest is among the wetland areas, recognised by RAMSAR convention situated Mau complex in Nakuru extended to Narok county and Kericho. The Community‑based Organisation also pushes for involvement of youth in environmental activities that continues the conservation of Mau forest.	• Iam motivated to be in Cop 27 so as to push for the policies set in other Cops to be implemented by different Governments, organisations as well to source in financial support for the implementation. • Iam motivated to be part of the delegation because i have Indigenous knowledge on different varieties of trees that can be adapted, i am expertised on that with my organisation, we've been using our natural indigenous knowledge to plant trees in places that matches with the kind of species, for example, some open field in Mau forest, cannot be planted, some organisations like NEMA used to be planting that area for couple of years and the next day literally all trees 'died' until we gave them the knowledge. • Again, iam media communication expert. Ofcourse i will use that to keep the event publicised as possible for the delegation. • Iam passionate on Reporting, iam good on that, i will keep the records of whole of the Cop 27 and then give some inclusive articles to funding organisation for reporting. • Translation of languages. Well, Cop 27 for Ogiek community member will be a screaming achievement, we will celebrate that since we will atleast get global attention of addressing the issues affecting us and the country at large. Ogiek community are known to be indigenous community in Kenya which barely cannot do without forest and natural Earth. It will be a great step to our community to be part of the green world and a step ahead in terms of sustainable environmental conservation. • Deep! Anything to do with climate change, global warming and environment in Mau forest directly involves with me, actually by mentioning climate action everyone will refer to me. Have been pushing for a better Mau forest for the last five years which is very evident with tangible results. • Iam passionate in bringing change that in future, it will have impact for the coming generations. • Experience on Climate Mobility. Ogiek community lives in Mau forest, one of the largest water tower in Kenya, to be sincere Mau forest has received few or little attention. Mau forest supplies water to Mara river which cut across Maasai Mara and feeds the game, it feeds Sondu river which then drains water to Lake Victoria, Lake victoria and also drains water to Lake Baringo and Lake Bogoria through River Molo among other benefits. Ogiek community are indigenous community living in the forest since time immemorial upto to late 2008-2009 where they were misplace and indigenous trees cut down for exotic trees plantations, since then they were evicted from the forest, including my family and i to lower parts. From then there was scarcity of rain and rivers turn out to be seasonal. Recently, ofcourse with experience we have been advocating for Government to abolish exotic trees and plant indigenous trees which will then regain the lost glory. Iam very dedicated to push for the same during Cop 27.

204	Julien	Vikemba	Kilimo TV / Congo Unites / Youth Charity Foundation	https://kilimotv.com/ and https://congounites.net/	Julien Vikemba is a dynamic, committed young man, 24 years old and living in the Democratic Republic of Congo. He is a young and committed web journalist with a passion for climate issues with Kilimo TV, which is a web TV focused on the promotion of the agricultural and environmental sector but also teaching and extension for poor communities, willing to acquire professional experience and introduction to agricultural and environmental practices in adequacy with the climate and nature. Julien Vikemba also holds a degree in Public International Law and has had the opportunity to acquire a solid background of enriching professional experience within the NGO Congo Unites, as a legal advisor, where he worked on a number of cases involving marginalized minorities (pygmies in particular) in conflict with the Congolese authority in charge of the management of protected areas, and this, for land-related issues. Indeed, environmental and climate justice in Africa is of paramount importance in the sense that the champions of global pollution are generally not African countries and to do this, international partners must do more to help local communities in Africa with projects that allow them to sustainably conserve these protected areas and thus avoid recurring conflicts with the authorities in charge of forest conservation . Julien Vikemba is also the Vice President of a civil society organization called "Youth Charity Foundation". It is an organization essentially of young leaders, predominantly female, whose mission is to mobilize people from all over the Great Lakes region to reduce social inequalities, fight against poverty and discrimination of vulnerable people, especially children and women, victims of sexual violence and living in the Great Lakes region, which is known worldwide for the cycle of violence and armed conflicts that have taken up residence in this region of Africa. "The Youth Charity Foundation, which he leads, along with other women, has a vision to facilitate the social integration of marginalized women and children in our community dominated by social inequalities.	Strongly committed to the preservation of nature, biodiversity, climate and the environment in my country, the Democratic Republic of Congo, I am very motivated to join the ACMI Youth Forum and attend all sessions of COP27 as a delegate. I have a particular interest in climate-related issues because my country, the Democratic Republic of Congo, is the lung of humanity in terms of its many potentialities. Rich in natural resources, my country can play an important role in the fight against climate change. And young people are at the forefront of this quest. My participation in the scientific meeting in the framework of the Pre-COP 27, held in Yangambi, DRC, organized from 05 to 07 September, as a representative of the youth of the whole Democratic Republic of Congo at these meetings, allowed us to make the claims and concerns of young people from all over Africa heard and to issue a series of joint declarations of the various representatives of the countries that signed the Paris Agreement, in order to resolve the climate issues. My commitment to the climate is and remains peaceful. I joined with other young people from my country the Youth Movement for Climate (MJPE), which initiated several peaceful marches under the theme "I walk for Climate" in the framework of COP27 scheduled in Egypt. This demonstration reflected the demands of young people in the face of the inaction of world leaders and we demanded concrete actions towards the commitments to the Paris Agreement and in particular the goal of zero deforestation and land degradation in the world by 2030 announced by the leaders of 141 countries who collectively committed to "stop and reverse deforestation and land degradation by 2030" at the COP 26. On the sidelines of this demonstration, we demanded that Congolese leaders cancel the tenders launched for 30 oil and gas blocks in recent months, as this exploitation will have a major impact on the environment. My recent reports for the web TV, Kilimo TV, have led me to produce content related to the preservation of the environment. I have done a series of portraits of farmers, aware of the climatic dangers and their impact on their profession of farming, working fully for the conservation and preservation of local ecosystems. It is therefore more than urgent, that together we fully commit ourselves in this direction.

213	Obiora	Amadi	MGCY-UNEP & American Football For African Mission		My name is Obiora Victor Amadi, born on 25th June 1996 in the City of Zaria, which is in Northern part of Nigeria. Although I am originate from the South-Eastern Nigeria. My growing up was a very difficult one due to crises, rioting and most of recent terrorism attacks in the city of Zaria and it's environs. The problem is often categorized into religious, ethnic and political differences. Since my family and their likes doesn't originate from the North, we were soft target during all of this Crises, Most times we need to run to the Baracks for safety, just as it is obtainable in the IDP camps, until the crises is over and put out by the military then we return back to continue our lives on several occasions. I was privileged to come from an educational background where my Dad is a Professor of Entomology (study of Insect),My mom a university worker retiree and my three siblings who all are my seniors all with there P.H.Ds. I graduated from the University of Agriculture Markudi where I studied Animal Science and went on to continue my MSc in Animal Breeding And Genetics at the Ahmadu Bello University Zaria. My passion for Sports can not be left out as i have practice and played many sports including; Taekwondo, Judo, soccer and most recently American Football. I also have a Diploma in Physical and Health education to enable me know how to teach Sports. In trying to solve the growing crises of my environment, I decided to use Sports as a means to create peace amongst people especially the youths. This was where my pet project American Football For African Mission (AFFAM) was officially born in 2016. Today my organization AFFAM is a registered nonprofit in Nigeria and in North Carolina USA, with a 501c. Through my organization's activities, I was ableto join Many youth Constituency of the United Nations and since then been volunteering my services on various Thematic groups in achieving The UN SDGs. The Most of recent achievement and relevant for this purpose is the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) granting AFFAM special accreditation to attend the Stockholm+50 International Meeting this year. Notably my organization Is the Only Sports organization on the list. Personally, I wish to continue my advocacy and will continue to call on all sports organizations men, women, Sports Philanthropist and well wishers to join hand and let's fight for our environment.	My Motivation is such that Africa is a youthful continent going by her Population with over 70% and there has been the Fein ignorance and Nauchalancy on Climate issues. Therefore in the Ubuntu spirit, it is imperative to fan the ambers of Climate actions through our Advocacy. Everyone will agree with me that Since Africa is a youthful Population, Sports is one tool we can use for Climate mobility and that is where My Organization American Football For African Mission (AFFAM) and others can play an important role. Sports has proven today to be a unifying mechanism between warring peoples' and the issues of climate change isn't selective, it affects everyone. Therefore, the need to support sports entities at COP 27 on the ground of ACMI can't and shouldn't be neglected. As a focal group member of both YOUNGO and MGCY-UNEP, I have been using sports as a means to advocate for climate action through my organization AFFAM. Due to my involvement, the logo of my sports organization Is captured amongst others in report document presented by MGCY-UNEP on Stockholm+50. My involvement and contributions with my Sports Organization led UNGA in there 72nd meeting held in February 2022 to grant American Football For African Mission a special accreditation to attend Stockholm+50 International meeting in Stockholm, Sweden. I will also want to conscientious African Youth delegates to raise a voice on Visa denial and stringent visa application processes that in turn hinders/shrinks the African Youth participation/Voices on international meetings.

I am writing to express my concern about the imminent threat climate change poses to our country, to our people and the future of our children. An overwhelming number of scientists agree, and signs abound that climate change is occurring much faster than was initially predicted. We have only a few critical years before the changes become irreversible. More than 2,000 scientists contributing to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have made it clear that cuts of at least 50% to 70% in global greenhouse gas emissions are necessary to allow our climate to re-stabilise. Therefore, the Government should be making every effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions . Specifically, I believe you should act to address the issues below, and I ask you to provide me with information on what the government is doing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the following areas: 1. Reducing carbon dioxide emissions from coal fired power plants 2. Reducing emissions from the transport sector 3. Funding initiatives for alternative and renewable energy technology 4. Incentives for the uptake of renewable energy 5. Removal of subsidies for fossil based fuel sources . I understand that focusing on climate change is just one of many issues during these challenging times. However, we can not wait until tomorrow we must take strong action now to address the daunting issues that climate change poses.

My experience relating to climate mobility has to do with the way migration has been map out as a negative result of climate change impacts to describing it as a form of human adaptation even though the migration as adaptation framing has been criticized as a rebirth of portrayals of migration as a necessary feature of economic development. migration as adaptation serves a number of purposes. First, migration of individuals to less risky or more suitable environments can reduce exposure to climate hazards. So also, at the household-level, migration of one or more individuals can be part of a livelihood diversification and risk-reduction strategy, whereby remittances from household members in destination areas help to support the economic unit and smooth out household consumption during times of distress. And finally, returning migrants and migrant associations can bring new skills and knowledge to their communities and countries of origin so that is a plus for them respectively.

I am a teacher currently and I have done Bachelor of Education in Environmental Education with minor Geography. I have done climate change education and other related courses on climate change.	Climate change is a global phenomenon and needs interventions through using climate change adaptations, remedies and resilience through interactive environmental methodologies that are sustainable. Climate mobility is due to anthropogenic activities due to high economic production and population explosion putting pressure on the environment for survival. There is need to revamp environmental literacy to reach out immediate people who are at the centre of Climate Mobility and invest in research and development.

I am a graduate of Machakos University with a bachelor's degree in Environmental studies community development ( First class honor) in the year 2022, April. Also have taken a certificate in permaculture and Agro-ecology designs. I am currently working at Dryland Natural Resource Centre as an assistant conservationist, an NGO dealing with permaculture and Agro-ecology practices in promoting climate change resilience in arid and semi-arid areas while promoting sustainable development. I completed my secondary education in the year 2016, and attained C+. In addition, have taken part in different leadership positions back in campus for instance: Machakos University Environmental club(deputy president), Machakos University Charity club (vice chairperson), student leadership (class-representative) and certificate awarded.	Due to the increased climate mobility, human mobility has also increased which has greatly resulted into population pressure in some areas especially in cities and towns and also in reserved areas by the pastoralists. This has greatly contributed to some of climate change impacts experienced not only in the area affected but also in the entire world. Thus ACMI Youth forum will be of much important to me in sharing ideas and my contribution on how to curb this for sustainable development in all sectors.
226	Onoja	Matthew	National Youth Service Corps(NYSC)	portal.nysc.org.ng	Matthew Onoja is the Team Lead at EDFA an acronym for Education Digitization for All program. An initiative targeted at impacting youths and teenage girls within 10 to 35 years of age in Zaria community and its environs. Zaria is a community in Kaduna State, Nigeria, with a very high level of digital illiteracy. The few learned youths and children attends only conventional high schools and colleges without having the requisite knowledge of how to go about taking online courses or studying using an online platform. To solve this problem in line with the united nation SDG4, I organized a coding conference and developed a Computer Based Test (CBT) software which have improved the performance of many kaduna indigenes in different online exams. We hope to be strong force in leading a revolution in digital education in the nearest future. My desire for quality education, equity and inclusion increased my interest in the promotion of digital education campaign, analyzing best practices to support vulnerable populations. I initiated the Education Digitization for All (EDFA) campaign in Zaria community where I partner with the Arewa Youth Trust Foundation (AYTF) to train 755 youths on digital skills. aside being an education technologist (NGO worker) with over 4 years’ of experience working in the field of Water treatment. This is in addition to my distinctive industrial research on “investigation of effectiveness of aluminum sulphate, calcium hydroxide and calcium hypochlorite in water treatment. A case study of Kaduna South water treatment plant (Nigeria) and my final year academic research in comparative analysis on physicochemical properties of Nigerian and Russian crude oil. As a passionate advocate of race to Net Zero. I was privileged to take part at the Hillary Term 2022 Cohort where I took specialized courses on Climate change and ecosystem: threats, opportunities and solutions. A nine-week School of Climate Change of the Oxford Climate Society, UK {2022}. Have also taken specialized courses on: Understanding Climate, The Climate Crisis: Adressing 5 key Areas for Change and Understanding Renewable Energy from the YALINETWORK platform.	I want to participate in the ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 to be groomed for impactful service, to develop my skills as a next generation of leaders in climate and ethical public sector leader equipped with climate responsive leadership skills, knowledge and expertise that will enhance my climate mitigation skills. Human suffering caused by climate change has always given me a cause for concern. Having being raised in an environment close to a process plant. I have been deeply concerned about the continuous flaring of gases and the widen gap between the rich and the poor as a result of ineffective climate policies and underlying super structures. The sharp demarcation of the society into the house and the house not. My desire for cleaner air, climate justice and net zero emission increased my interest in participating at ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 and government failure in providing effective climate policies for the preservation of the planet and the citizenry. By the end of my secondary education, I knew my interest lay more towards chemical engineering and decided to undertake an undergraduate degree on this path. During this five years of study, I was able to cover relevant course syllabus that will be helpful in the up-scaling of processes to efficiently decarbonize these greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. According to the climate and clean air coalition, reducing methane emissions to nearly 40% by 2030 could avoid nearly 0.3 degrees Celsius of global warming, prevent an estimated 180,000 deaths, 540,000 emergency room visits from asthma, and 11,000 hospitalizations of elderly people each year. Unfortunately, my country, Nigeria, is lagging behind in meeting these goals by 2030. Exposure and knowledge of climate mitigation is the leverage I need to close this knowledge gap and to put my country at the forefront of the race to net zero. This program will further prepare me ahead of the critical and indispensable input in sustainable nation building.

It would be a great opportunity to meet other like minded youths as there aren't a lot of us in my country. And people like us aren't taken seriously at all in my country because of lack of awareness. I want to meet people like me who are into climate change to bring awareness to my community and the world in general.

A leader in all conscience or not, has an impact in his community (professional, family, religious. .), the important thing is that the impact is positive because that is what a good leader identifies with. Individually or through the association, I think that the impact is positive, it is measured by quantifiable and qualifyable achievements , in migrant and minority communities. .despite some failures and obstacles, because much remains to be done in terms of social work, advocacy, entrepreneurial training for empowerment, and especially in terms of environmental problems... it's all team work with established and clear communication.

245	Mohammed	Abdalghafoor	Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport		Mohammed Abdalghafoor have completed a BSc. degree in construction and building engineering. After involving the construction industry, he realized the negative environmental impact of the construction projects. Then, Abdalghafoor decided to follow his passion in participating in shifting human's practices to more sustainable behavior, especially in the context of climate change. According to this significant issue, Abdalghafoor obtained a MSc. degree in renewable energy and environmental impact assessment fields, besides, he has a diploma in green technologies and enrolled a diploma in carbon management. Moreover, Abdalghafoor published his first paper and he participated to many reports in the renewable energy field.	I have been involved in the construction industry after accomplishing my bachelor’s degree, and I realized the negative impact of the construction industry on the environment, while environmental sustainability is seriously required, especially in the context of the urgent need for facing the exacerbating problem of climate change. Meanwhile, I have always noticed the huge amounts of greenhouse gases emitted by conventional sources of energy. However, the Palestinian Territories suffers lack of electricity, which continue for eighteen hours or more per day in some areas, while the region is rich in renewable sources such as solar and wind. Therefore, sustaining energy sector and achieving energy transition could significantly secure energy and fulfill environmental sustainability in a cost-effective way. Motivated by the aforementioned reasons, I decided to follow my passion and shift to research by enrolling Master of Science degree in the sustainable energy and environment field, which totally accomplished in English. After serious hard work, I completed the master’s thesis,entitled “Techno-Economic Analysis and Environmental Assessment of Renewable Energy Power Plant for Remote Areas – Case Study: Siwa Oasis, Egypt”. Additionally, at the same time, my enthusiasm and thirstiness for this field led me to enroll the Diploma in Carbon Management by GHG Management Institute, and dual professional diploma in green technologies, Pro-Green diploma, by the AUB, AUC, and LAU. As a result, completing these diplomas was a great step that strengthened my experience in this field, hence, I became more professional, efficient, and knowledgeable during investigating my research points. Putting my humbling research experience besides, I have been certified as UPG Sustainability Leader, after the intensive program, United People Global Sustainability Leadership \| Class 2022, which is a movement that mobilizes individuals and organizations to support positive citizen leadership on sustainability. Additionally, during my master’s degree, I have been selected for an internship in solar energy engineering by SMC company, besides, I have completed three virtual internships in Climate Change, Sustainable Finance, and Climate and Sustainability by Clifford Chance and BCG. In addition, I took various training courses in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and energy economics and business by AASTMT, Egyptian Engineers Syndicate, and the British University in Cairo under the RIndustry Program. Furthermore, I have participated in many workshops, conferences, and summer school in the sustainable energy and environment field. At present, I am able to deeply understand and deliver the dynamic nature of the sustainable energy and environment field, especially in connection to greenhouse gas mitigation and economic growth demand, which is the main objective that I looked for to pursue a professional program and PhD degree in the area of sustainable energy and environment.

I work as a chief executive officer at PREYO COMPANY, located in Tanzania. I collaborate with my team members and other stakeholders on developing formal and sustainable ways of plastic waste management. At the moment I'm highly involved in developing the new and sustainable market opportunities that stimulate the local economy of an individuals. I am actually a founder of the company. I have been always passionate about environmental issues especially climate change. I started waste management when I was 22 years old. I was always participating and volunteering into environmental events, campaigns, beach clean up, CSO network ,Training for more improvement and efficiency. After spending more than 4 years in volunteering and participating into different campaigns, I realized that I want to contribute more to the local community in a both profit and non-profit way. At PREYO, we work every day to put people first by empowering disadvantaged people with stable work in plastic waste collection and upcycling, improves waste collection, positively affecting living and health conditions within the community, improves working conditions and formalizes employment through training and provision of protective clothes, for example gloves, and promotes environmental awareness, by helping to decrease unsanitary dumping and improper burning of plastic waste in order to reduce greenhouse effect. We measure our social impact through calculating emissions from the production of raw materials which is a plastic (PET)flakes, product manufacturing which is eco-bricks, Transportation of the product, the energy (electrical power) used to power our facilities and our devices, as well as number of regions reached, percentage of the plastic recycled per month, Number of waste pickers liberated. Our commitment to reach neutrality for our full product life cycle shapes the actions we pursue. PREYO is not only focus on improving the life standards of people but also setting friendly environmental for other companies in east Africa and all over the world. PREYO wants to be number one company create formal and sustainable solution on plastic waste. PREYO have managed to collect about 60,000 tons of plastic up to date including both PET bottles and PP and 3,000 tons of HDPE. We have successfully raised awareness about plastic waste in the restaurant community, and at the bus stands because these are the main sources of plastic littering. We have partnered with NipeFagio and Zaidi recycling at various events of beach cleanup where we have been collecting a significant number of plastics thereby preventing leakage into the Oceanic environment. Our initiative has received global attention and has received a Green African Global Climatic African ambassador award and the Mohamed Dewji Foundation support. We have supported about 200 people who are waste pickers through the purchase of plastic waste at a price of TZS 200 per kg. PREYO’s impact on the local economy is substantial. Like Other recycling companies such as Mbagala recycling and SB plastic, PREYO not only employs people but also supports many more local jobs in other recycling companies and industries through its indirect impact on business activity in the country.

He is also Nasser Youth Fellowship, Arabs and Africa Youth platform alumni, Youth for Human Right International Advocate, African Leaders Malaria Youth Alliance Champion, EU Delegation to Ethiopia Youth Sounding Board, East African One Champion Advocate and finalist on the Nelson Mandela Humanitarian Awards 2022 Abijen.	Attending the COP 27 intrigues me because I think it will improve and sharpen my leadership skills and give me a solid platform to learn from and share my experiences with like-minded young leaders from Africa. More than two thirds of the people in Ethiopia, where I'm from, are under the age of 25. I believe I have been given the exceptional chance to play a part in molding the future of my nation and adding more energy to the environment that already exists. As a founder of a youth-led network, Model Africa Union- Ethiopia, we engage the youth by organizing simulations. Had organized the COP 26 simulation on IDPs and climate change, on water security, where the youth role was to play as delegate of different African countries and gave their insights on climate and related issues and pass the resolution to the AU. The resolution upholds different solution touching how to decrease the rate of climate mobility. The workshops enable us to empower the youth in the Diplomatic sector and widen their perspective and knowledge on climate change. We engage young people through planning simulations as the organization that founded the Model Africa Union -Ethiopia network. The youth role was to participate as a delegate of several African countries and express their opinions on climate and related concerns before sending the resolution to the AU in the COP 26 simulation on IDPs and climate change, on water security. The resolution backs a number of strategies for reducing climate mobility. We can inform and enlighten young people working in the diplomatic community about climate change through the workshops. Mainstreaming the issue of climate change has always been one set of our strategy. I have participated in the 2019 AU summit on the theme of Refugees, Returnees and IDPs and 2021 AU Summit on the theme of Food Security that was co-related with climate mobility. I was able to comprehend the catastrophic impact of climate mobility on the continent in both summits, but it motivates me to take part in more climate-related actions since despite all the discussion, I don't think anything has changed. I was able to mobilize young people between the years of 2011 and 2017 to plant more than 1000 trees at the YWCA, the Mathiwos Wondu Cancer Society to create a "green legacy," and in 2022 to plant trees along the Ministers office. Considering the current situation in Ethiopia, it is projected that over 400,000 people are internally displaced as a result of the conflict and natural disasters, and according to a WHO assessment, approximately 240,000 children may perish as a result of the drought near the Kenyan-Ethiopian border. Other modes of mobility are being left behind as the effect that is being examined. I think I'll have more information and abilities to impart to the young people in my nation. As a result, there is a need to mobilize, advocate for, and execute climate change solutions. One life change is one too many.

On weekends, he hosts "Youth Sharing Opportunities" Livestream, in which she welcomes virtual guests from across the world to discuss issues impacting young people and communities, such as unemployment, climate change, mental health, and scholarship chances. He has also spoken at prestigious gatherings such as "The First LatinoAmerican Climate Activists" in Mexico, where she discussed her cLimate Justice Project and the importance of women in climate action (2022). She also spoke at the International Webinar on Meaningful Youth Engagement in Climate Action in Indonesia.	I am an active community advocate, and this chance will allow me an opportunity to tap into the vast expertise, creativity, and enthusiasm of other young people in order to build and execute climate solutions that will benefit my country and Africa as a whole. I have effective communication and networking skills, and I will therefore be able to work with other young people and share and present our ideas. I am currently a member of the beat organizing committee in an effort to eliminate any exclusive or selfish attitudes toward youth in climate action. I would therefore want to represent Egypt at COP27 since the country is now experiencing the worst drought in 38 years as a result of climate change. In 2021, I was appointed African Ambassodor, tasked with mobilizing and increasing young involvement in climate action. I planned a hybrid panel discussion and invited climate activists and environmental sustainability professionals to educate the community on climate change prevention and how to join in climate action. I rallied youngsters from Namibia, Angola, Nigeria, and South Africa to attend and learn more about climate action from the panelists. This debate brought together over 200 youngsters, and I also got the opportunity to participate in climate action by facilitating these hybrid dialogues. My work on climate change was acknowledged in late 2021 when I pitched my project in the #Open17ClimateGender global competition. Among other young projects from around the world, "Climate Gender Justice" won Crowd4SDG. The project's ultimate objective is to encourage policymakers to incorporate sexual and reproductive health and rights issues into disaster preparedness strategies in order to lessen the negative impact of climate change on women's health. The project went to the final round, where it battled against Nigeria, Switzerland, and the Philippines.The project will develop a customized app in the mind blogger for data collection, and volunteers will use the app for data collection. The project will organize dissemination with policymakers at the local and central levels and advocate including SRHR in the disaster preparedness plan. With this project, data related to climate change impact will be available and accessible to everyone. Policymakers will understand the negative consequence of extreme weather events on women's SRHR and prioritize it while preparing the disaster preparedness plan. It will ultimately help overall improvement in women’s SRHR during extreme weather events like cyclones and floods and reduce maternal mortality and morbidity in the country.

261	IDAH HOLIARISOA	RAZAFINDRAKOTO	PAN-AFRICAN UNIVERSITY		About me, I specialize in Climate and Energy Transition Governance. I am a Researcher, a Creative Activist and a Project Manager. As a Researcher, I conducted several analytical studies (papers, thesis, etc.) on the topic of climate change and Energy. Upon request, I will be honored to send you a copy of my paper on the “Climate Governance” and my PhD Thesis on “the Energy Transition Governance in Madagascar”. Moreover, I am deeply familiar with climate regulation, business development and analysis in Africa since 2017 given my scientific experience in the UNDP, the Pan-African University and my large networking with climate and energy actors in/ for Madagascar, Cameroon and beyond (SADCREEE, Ministries in charge of environment and energy, GIZ, etc.). In addition, given my previous academic experiences with the European University Institute and other structures such as Réseau Climat Océan Indien, ENGIE, IRENA, GWNET and RENAC, I can testify of my technical skills. I also capitalize on 11 years of professional experience. And concerning my activist and managerial record, I designed and conducted several projects on climate, energy governance and green growth topics since 2014. Given my various international initiatives through my innovative and creative projects entitled "Imaginarium", I capitalize on project coordination experience in 19 countries since 2014. I believe that I have abundant experiential knowledge in strategy, advices formulation, analytical production, resource mobilization, management, networking and institutional relations/ development to be able to contribute effectively to the SDG, especially against the climate change.	I would like to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 because I am convinced that this opportunity could greatly contribute to the improvement of my critical thinking concerning the social sciences on climate change in Africa. I believe that capacity building sessions, networking activities, meetings and intellectual exchanges during this forum could enrich my scientific results and my performance as a future assertive Researcher on climate and energy transition from Madagascar. I believe that during and at the end of this forum, I could provide strong analysis and innovative solutions to tackle political issues that the African communities, and especially the Malagasy are facing. I am also convinced that I could present scientific work and deliver creative and scientific seminars with high added value to bring positive, quantifiable and benchmark changes to the delegates during the COP27. In addition, I envision to create a start-up focused research and advocacy on climate change in Madagascar, so I believe that my participation to the forum will be a unique opportunity for scaling-up and taking of in terms of ideas exchanges, inspirations and new collaborations. I am deeply convinced that it offers the experimental advantage of learning and serving better.

My motivation comes about because being an ACMI youth delegate forum for COP 27 will help me gain the knowledge and skills which I will use to tackle issues of climate mobility in my country Zambia and Africa at large.because according to the united nations Our climate is changing. Temperatures are rising and devastating extremes of weather are becoming ever more common. The world has proved slow to respond, with mitigation plans falling far short of what is needed to preserve the planet. In the words of United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres: “The state of the planet is broken”. We are all affected. No matter who you are, or where you live, climate change will impact upon your life. But those with the greatest vulnerabilities are likely to bear the greatest burden: and the most vulnerable are the world’s children. The climate crisis has sparked a crisis of mobility.Around the world, in 2019 alone, some 23.9 million people were involuntarily displaced by weather-related disasters. That dwarfs the 8.5 million people displaced by the factors we so often associate with migration and displacement,conflict and violence.So I believe being part of the ACMI will really be something incredible.

I am a firm believer in education, empowerment, women’s advocacy and an energy enthusiast. As an energy enthusiast and advocate, I recently led the Ghanaian delegation (comprising the deputy Energy minister, and major stakeholders in the energy industry of Ghana) to the Africa Energy Week held in Cape Town, South Africa, last November. My goal is to create awareness on the contribution to climate change by activities in the energy sector and push for the adop- tion of renewable energy in Africa. My vision is to improve the lives of young men and women in my country through training, education, scholarships and sports. Which is why in 2018, I, together with my sister, launched 1Sports, Exceed Project which continues to improve the lives of over a thousand girls in the central region of the country through education and sports. I founded The Enough Network (TEN) as a community platform for women to share their stories and stir up conversations that accelerate change. My hope is for TEN to be able to provide a safe haven for women healing from trauma and abuse and also provide skill training and mentorship for women and young girls in Ghana. I was honoured to be the first and only Ghanaian speaker at the just ended World Youth Forum 2021 in Egypt. I shared my journey as a female entrepreneur and how a dark phase of my life inspired me to rediscover my purpose.	As an energy enthusiast and advocate, I’ve led the Ghanaian delegation comprising of major stake holders and the ministry to Africa Energy Week. I’m currently a member of the youth transition committee of the ministry that champions climate conversations. I’ve also worked with the Ghana REDD+ in partnership with the forestry commission to champion conversations and policies on a low-carbon development pathway and enhance the integrity of our environmental resources especially addressing climate change and a well functioning our ecosystem. My aim is to create awareness on the contribution to climate change by activities in the energy sector and push for the adoption of renewable energy in Africa.

He is dedicated and brilliant with an eye for clinical perfection as he is currently in the top 1% in the Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture. Intellectually, he is matured and far above average. His ability for attention to detail is remarkable. He has leadership ability and also capable of understanding new concepts and technology while disseminating knowledge intelligibly. Ojo is physically able bodied, emotionally matured and very pleasant to work with. He speaks and writes good English and relates well with people from varying backgrounds. He has performed well as a member of several non-profit organizations. He has always demonstrated great zeal for aquatic ecosystem sustainability. He once spearheaded a team of volunteers who went visiting polluted water bodies for clean-up. He is currently taking steps within Akure metropolis and its environs in breaking the menace of climate change into locally manageable tasks such as reducing increased flood risk so as to ensure healthier environment both for human and aquatic organisms. He has undergone series of training within and outside the university in preparation for a career in fisheries and aquaculture. He is into construction of fishing ponds and related works and this has made him a popular resource person and a great asset in the area of aquaculture within the locality. He remains a good influence among his peers. His long-term goal is to build and manage large fishery firms with many workers and mentees under him thus granting him the opportunity of continuous advancement as a leader. Ojo desires to impact the society and mentor folks in fisheries while contributing to and ensuring the sustainability of the aquatic environment	Climate change is the major global challenge today, and the world is becoming more vulnerable to the change. The literature on the climate mobility agrees that climate factors contribute to migration but their contribution generally operates through socioeconomic factors (Foresight, 2011). The sharp increase in pollutants entering our oceans, rivers and streams harms not only the aquatic lives but also humanity. Pollutant kills fish, birds, marine mammals and sea turtles, destroys habitats and even affects animals' mating rituals, which can have devastating consequences and can wipe out entire species. The climate crisis has also influenced the crisis of mobility. Record has it that in 2019, over 23 million people were involuntarily displaced by weather-related disasters. In Ondo state, one of the coastal states along the coastal zone in Nigeria, flooding had destroyed the architectural and economic buoyancy of several communities which could be ascribed to oil exploration activities of oil companies in adjoining communities. Over the years I've seen fish farmers suffer great loss as a result of flood breaking into their fish ponds and flooding away the fishes they have spent a lot of money to stock. Crops farmers loosing their crops to flood. Business owners and families crying for this projects and building falling apart in their eyes. A lot of families including women and children being displaced as a result of flood. Some diseases outbreaks too has been traceable to consumption of contaminated fishes. As an SDGs advocate and a highly concerned individual, I have been taking actions as well as raising awareness in my locality for people to see the need for collective accelerated actions to tackle climate change. In my quest for intended approach which provide solutions to the development problems within the dimensions of social systems and our environments, I have volunteered with non-profit organizations for clean-up, sensitizations e.t.c. I am currently working towards commercial cultivation of microalgae, seeing its contribution to sustainable development. The valuable opportunity to be a COP27 delegate will enhance my concern and passion for climate solutions.

As a youth parliamentarian who stands to represent the voices of the youths and seeks to take part in joining others in to the attainment of sustainable development goals .climate change is one thing that has been and is affecting the whole world and is the number one problem the world is trying to mitigate which the Gambia is not an exception of. Despite the Gambia contributing less than 0.01% to the emission of global greenhouse gasses. The Gambia particularly and its historic capital city Banjul has been identified globally as being the country’s most vulnerable to the effects of climate change and this scaring statement has compel me and other youth to divert our attention to climate change considering the fact that if proper actions are not taken now the Gambia’s only capital island will be consumed by the river forcing about more than a population of 31,301(2013 census). people to involuntarily move from the capital city to other places In an effort to put long term goals of the Gambia and to attain its commitments under the Paris agreement which is a treaty sign by the Gambia in 2016 and to reach zero emission by 2050 there is need for the youths of the Gambia to take climate change at hand and find possible ways of mitigating it. I have strong passion for climate change because I believe that we are the ones that are changing the climate in a negative way and we are the only ones that can change it in a positive way.

I have watched leaders in my country talk and talk, without any action, working in the space of women and children made me realize that the most vulnerable and affected group of people by climate change is women and children. It hurts me so much to also realize that this women and children have no voice at the decision making table, they can not even decide their own fate. As a UNICEF youth representative, working in the sector of harmful practices, it is my passion to ensure that the voices of the voiceless are heard most especially women and children, which is why I am applying to be ACIM Youth delegate for Cop27.

The African continent, despite contributing least to global greenhouse gas emissions, is the most impacted by climate change. Temperatures are predicted to increase at a higher rate than the global average, and new weather extremes are becoming commonplace: in 2019 alone, southern Africa suffered from extensive drought, while the Greater Horn of Africa and the Sahel experienced heavy rains, floods, and landslides. With over 60% of Africa’s population reliant on agriculture, the economic and humanitarian impacts of the resultant failing harvests are just one example of the region’s increased climate vulnerability. The World Bank (2018) estimates that by 2050 there could be as many as 86 million internal climate migrants in Sub-Saharan Africa alone.

Schooled at the University of Uyo, Akwa Ibom, graduating magna cum laude with a degree in English, he works as a journalist with PUNCH Nigeria Limited, Lagos, unearthing stories around the environment, health, climate change, gender and sexuality.	I watched the earth change right before my eyes. Green changed to yellow and to brown and to black, and completely disappeared, causing man so much problems in the end. Who is the cause? Man. Who is suffering? Man. It is sad that we are only just heeding warnings that were given us years and years ago by people who foresaw this disaster. Now, we have to change this through concerted conversations and common actions. I want to be part of that conversation that'll bring about that change. And, what other way to do this than the ACMI Youth Forum.
282	KAMARA	MOHAMED	CHILD FRIENDLY EDUCATION (C.F.E)	https://www.kissibendunet.com	Hello everyone! My name is Kamara Mohamed I'm 25 years old from Sierra Leone west Africa. I'm a final year student at Eastern Technical University of Sierra Leone. I am passionate about quality education for all. As a founder of Child friendly education we have been working hard to be teaching about climate change activism in class rooms from primary and secondary schools.	CHILDREN ARE THE FUTURE OF CLIMATE CHANGE ACTIVISM I have a vast knowledge in mobilizing children's and youth to play a great role of Climate Change activism by working with the school authorities. This is a brief summary of my motivation idea about Climate Mobility in my organization. Youth are important in the climate change agenda. There is an urgent need to involve more children and youth to help address climate change and its effects. As our organization has made clear, climate change, and the protection of planet Earth for the survival and the future wee-being of all humanity and species, has increasingly become a global concern. All of us need to take greater individual and collective responsibility to protect and conserve our environment. I believe that the development of policy and its implementation must involve in the current young generation as overseers of the future. We must recognize that when the environment we live in is destroyed, there’s no survival for future generations. Currently, efforts undertaking by community- based organizations include creating environment crops for learners, age appropriate activities for learners in environmental conservation as well as eco-school/green school intervention with tree planting, waste management and distribution of environment –friendly tree seedlings to schools and surrounding communities. With such interventions, school efforts are tailored towards providing learners with practical ways of learning about climate change and hands on approaches for conserving and protecting the environment.
283	Dahiru Muhammad	Hashim	Panacea Foundation	Www.panacea.org.ng	I am Dahir Muhammad Hashim, 29 years old, born and raised in Kano. A highly skilled, ambitious and dedicated medical doctor. Keen to practice the profession with dignity and respect to human life. I have the ability to learn new skills. I am also the founder and pioneer chairman of Panacea Foundation, a Non-Governmental Organisation which focuses on tree planting and ensuring sustainability through environmental awareness and advocacy. My NGO-Panacea foundation was founded, which I consider being my greatest accomplishment. As required by the 13th SDG, Panacea's entire concentration is on advocating for environmental sustainability and planting trees. I am passionate about planting trees since it not only eliminates air pollution but also promotes a healthy lifestyle, as well as giving communities all over the world economic opportunities and food security. In Kano's 44 local governments, we were able to plant over 100,000 seedlings in 2021. And my long-term objective is to lessen the impact of climate change. In North Western Nigeria, this will drastically lower the prevalence of respiratory tract illnesses.	As the ecosystem continues sliding down the path of unprecedented degradation, my generation is being left with the necessity of making peace with nature in order to bring in transformative changes towards cleaner and greener lifestyles. Climate change is now the most pertinent crisis of our time. In northern Nigeria, climate change is one of the root causes of a wider range of increasingly worsening social and environmental problems, including desertification, flooding, farmer-herder clashes, unemployment, and increased rate of respiratory and mental illnesses. Owing to the weak and inefficient participation of Nigeria’s government, and based on the understanding that we are all responsible for ensuring the preservation of our environment, I became committed to the environment. As a young medical practitioner, I intend to create solutions to rising and emerging human diseases, which can be linked to anthropogenic causes. We have substantial evidence proving that excessive heat wave from green house effect, can cause mental health problems including mood and anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, substance abuse, kidney damage due to dehydration, and many other life threatening illnesses. We understand that the future generations will pay the ultimate price if nothing is done to avert this disaster. Therefore, as human, we must understand the urgency to protect our mother Earth to guarantee our survival.

This is partly due to the actions of pollution of man. Faced with this I think that digital is a key tool for awareness and development of projects that can help solve our climate problems. In order to be an actor who will create this dynamic, I would like to create and set up a community that will think and implement concrete actions for climate protection using digital, also for that I need to learn more about climate. These are my motivations to participate in this forum.

286	Sidney	Opiyo	TonyWild	www.tonywild.co.ke	I am Sidney Opiyo from Kenya. I am a graduate of BSc Environmental Studies and Community Development with experience in environmental conservation and protection, climate change, sustainable development, monitoring and evaluation, strategic and transformative community engagement and development, environmental communication and education, and advocacy as well as project planning and management. I am passionate about working with the youth and communities to address disproportionate environmental challenges and climate change resilience to achieve sustainable development which is a great basis for my career projection. My work mostly entails youth-led environmental conservation, landscape and nature restoration, marine protection, climate-smart farming systems, environmental policy, and environmental journalism. I also have a deep interest in working with youth at the grassroots level, youth-inclusive governance and policies, environmental storytelling, and climate action. I am a climate advocate and an environmental defender, working to champion meaningful youth engagement for Climate action with a background in Environmental Studies and Community Development. I have experience in community organizing, climate communication, environmental conservation and protection, and community resource mobilization. Currently, I am an Impact Environmental Educator at TonyWild and my work involves planning and managing impact projects at the organization. At Tonywild, we believe that sharing images will enable the world to understand why and how they will need to conserve the environment and make sustainable decisions while going about their daily lives. We share stories that enable relevant sharing of knowledge on everything nature and wildlife. We create awareness of conservation and climate change issues through photography. I have previously worked as a Volunteer at Kenya Environmental Action Network (KEAN) where I have been involved in global campaigns on environmental storytelling. I was able to lead campaigns using storytelling to communicate about environmental issues and how all stakeholders can participate in achieving the goals of environmental sustainability. My work in conservation space supports the vision and mission of IUCN which seeks to advance sustainable development and create a just world that values and conserves nature.	My interest to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 stems from my passion, interest, and professional background in environmental sciences and community development. My interest is in achieving sustainable development while still being able to maintain a sustainable environment for future generations. Currently, I am an Impact Environmental Educator where we use photography for storytelling and as a tool for sharing stories of the youth and communities aligned to climate change and sustainable development. Storytelling through photography is very symbolic in connecting people’s experiences to their immediate surroundings, inspiring action and change among people and communities in their climate spaces. This opportunity, therefore, comes in handy because it will enhance my work in communicating climate change issues more effectively while improving my communication in the conservation space through among other things boosting interview skills, equipping me with communication skills, and communicating crises. Climate change is a crisis that is right now a global conversation. As a result, there is a need for journalists and practitioners like myself who are involved in the climate change communication, awareness, and education space to be equipped with communication skills, strategies, and critical messaging skills to be able to communicate these issues effectively. An opportunity at the COP27 will give me a platform to network with leaders and change-makers from around the world and share notes on how we can come together to find solutions to sustainability issues affecting the world, especially on the issue of climate change and other conservation issues. At the COP, I will be able to build the necessary networks and partnerships that will support my conservation and climate justice activism work. Together with other youths, experts, researchers, and climate activists we will be able to explore innovative ways to tackle our continent’s huge climate financing gap because adaptation financing is crucial to help Africa liberate itself from climate emergencies that have led to the loss of lives and livelihoods. I also look forward to the discussion on youthful innovation and its role in realizing low-carbon and ecologically resilient growth in Africa.

I am passionate about global issues and SDG's having been a member of the scout association of Tanzania and participated in the first African conference of Youths in SDG's and Environmental issues at Kampala in 2017, where I contributed on several issues during caucus like environmental justice.	I am passionate about global issues and SDG's having been a member of the scout association of Tanzania where we believed in peace as a wider concept including environmental peace thus, a world environment with minimum or zero pullution a perception I still share to date and participated in the first African conference of Youths in SDG's and Environmental issues at Kampala in 2017, where I contributed on several issues during caucus like environmental justice. I have also participated in several environmental activities including the 2018 environmental day with the Youth of United Nations Association club of the centre for foreign Relations in Dar es Salaam. I am also motivated to apply because I believe there is a need to speak out in the global platforms on the importance of prioritizing the environment, global warming is real and as a human living on earth I have experienced it too.
288	Rawda	Zaki	Leave It In The Ground Initiative.org	http://leave-it-in-the-ground.org/	I am an undergraduate student majoring in Sociology. I have diverse interests outside of university from scientific research and the entanglement of data science with artificial intelligence and quantum computing that drives it all. I work in the field of climate research in the Middle East with LINGO, which aims to isolate the use of fossil fuels that raise the climate temperature. Recently, I volunteered as a student researcher at IEEE Cairo University Student Branch in the fields of science journalism and communications. I also volunteered last summer with Dr. Aditya at the Summer Stanford Session as Climate Researcher in a research study aimed at raising children's awareness of the scientific material taught about climate and the Earth in general. Ultimately, I am a bilingual Arabic and English storyteller, I have strong knowledge of managing the content industry as I worked on it during my training at global citizen year.org, I have experience in multi-content with various educational issues, identity, climate and others. I have strong skills in scriptwriting, motivational interviewing and digital design.	Because of course I'm part of the problem! The issue that will only end with my contribution as a young woman in a time when there are many choices between producing or consuming. My production here will make me more confident to contribute to a relative solution that helps overcome the problems we have been facing recently in Africa such as migration from town to town due to the climate. Presenting the problem as a narrative, more like a TV series, would be much more interesting for a content producer like me. I am fully convinced that the forum will give me the opportunity for cooperational informative talk, not only by listening well — with participating and giving my own perspective on each problem and how to work on it together, in order to reach practical authentic steps that I take into consideration as an aspiring nascent leader.
289	Bheka	Mabika	SACS High School	n/a	My name is Bheka Mabika. I am a strong individual who is curious and loves to learn about the world around him. I am a deep thinker which has its advantages and disadvantages. One of the advantages being, that I am aware of the world around me and can pinpoint injustices, i.e. Littering is much more harmful than it seems, animals have feelings too and also how Global Warming is becoming a reality day in and day out. I am a young man who is involved in many leadership positions, i.e. RCL Chairperson, SGB Representative and Head of Chess. I am someone who is a doer. I am repelled by empty promises. Our politicians have done enough of that already. Instead of promising people stuff, I always show a PLAN of what I expect to do before I even mention what I am going to do. I am also very realistic and to the point. I am someone who is reliable. If I have been assigned a task, the sun won’t set without me having assessed the task. I am someone who is a diligent worker who is up for a challenge. I am also a strong public speaker. Recently, I have been inducted as the MC at the Western Cape RCL Heritage Day Event which was a massive success. I am a team player. I am not simply a person who can get work done alone, but I am able to delegate and share tasks and I always ensure that my part has been done. I am willing to put my body on the line for my team mates. I can sacrifice my well being for the benefit of the team as a whole. I love to read self help books such as the secret and the power of the subconscious mind. These books allow me to stay focused and build myself up. I meditate, read, take cold showers and workout daily. This has allowed me to build up a sufficient amount of discipline. And finally, I am a person who NEVER EVER gives up!	As described earlier, I am a person who is a team player and would provide an insurmountable amount of value to the committee. I love Climate Change and I am living for more concrete ways to be involved. I have been involved in environmental Projects with the Interact society, vegetation plantation, etc. Climate change is something that I am very passionate about. On the 20 September 2019, I marched with other students to the Cape Town parliament to raise awareness of Climate Change and the injustices which were taking place at the time. I have a deep passion for this topic, and being given the opportunity to be involved in this opportunity, would be life changing for me. I believe that a major problem involved with promoting climate change is the lack of promotion from relatable people. I am a young black and hard working South African student. My mother is unemployed but was a domestic worker for many years. My dad is a bus driver. I am a strong public speaker. Being given the opportunity, I could use my public speaking and relatability to be one of the spokespeople of this initiative. I would love our committee to get involved in promoting this in township areas through paintings. In many township areas, people do not watch mainstream news such as ENCA. Coupled with news coverage which we could organize, we should get painters to paint climate change canvas across buildings with our logo. I saw that this worked well with the covid 19 pandemic and spread lots of awareness about this pandemic. The public of this township clearly responded well to that. Its all about reaching the most vulnerable in a way that is inclusive for them. In South Africa, the most vulnerable are in these township areas and they take up the majority of the population. Climate mobility is a serious problem. We need to address our governments head on about these affects. Recently, many township homes got flooded due to heavy rainfall. KZN suffered heavy floods, which even caused some mortalities. The climate is changing and displacing people. It is a serious problem. My home has even been affected before. The government needs o put measures in place by subsiding township homes with extra flood security, i.e. instead of plugging lights before voting times, allow them to plaster homes to become more secure, so when it rains outside, it does not rain inside as well. In summary, I would love this opportunity, as I am hungry for an opportunity to be involved in ore climate projects.. There is nothing I am not willing to do. I am willing to do everything in my power to secure this opportunity. I will truly do my best. If I fail, I can be replaced 100%. All I ask for is a chance to prove my worthiness to the team. Thank you and God bless.
290	Aya	Hesham	CEO @ StarsFlyer \| Medical Director @ SigmaFit \| Advisory Board Member @ ThinkOrbital \| Medical Director Volunteer @ Egyptian Red Crescent \| Aeropace Researcher @ University of California, San Diego.	https://starsflyer.wixsite.com/starsflyer	I am pleased for applying for Africa Climate Mobility Initiative as a fourth-year medical student at Egypt. I believe that I am the perfect candidate for ACMI; because I know that the Forum looks for diverse leaders in nationality, gender and background. For me, I am an Arab woman from the Middle East, African, Egyptian and Female. Since age 19, I started to put great effort into drawing the road for Egypt to contribute to the space industry. As my childhood dream is to be the 1st Egyptian astronaut on the Moon, I’m a professional skydiver and have applied for Space For Humanity: The world's first Citizen Astronaut program. And I serve as a space medicine advisor at ThinkOrbital and Georgia research station. in addition to being a scientific discloser at Space Is For You. In 2019, I authorized a study about the relation between travelling to Mars and personality traits, which was awarded the 5th place at MISR conference as the best paper among 100 abstracts. Then, I joined a project at University of California about LBNP in space importance during spaceflight and I was the only Arab woman in the team. and Currently I'm the founder of StarsFlyer space tourism company as the first of its type in Africa.	I have been working in the space industry since 19 years ago, Participated in many local and international projects related to the climate change crisis and its effects on human health. It is now beyond dispute that climate change caused by human activity has negative impacts on the full enjoyment of human rights. Climate change has profound impacts on a wide variety of human rights, including the rights to life, self-determination, development, health, water and sanitation, and housing. But what I do through my work is to strike a balance between human rights and the preservation of climate stability. It is crucial since climate change threatens the effective enjoyment of a range of human rights like food, health and water sanitation..etc. On the other flip, when the climate gets disturbed (due to human rights), it leads to death and illness from increasingly frequent extreme weather events such as heatwaves, storms, and floods, the disruption of food systems, increases in zoonoses and food-, water- and vector-borne diseases, and mental health issues increase the risk of illness through increasing temperature, which leads to more frequent heavy rains and runoff. The climate change crisis has dangerous health effects including gastrointestinal illnesses like diarrhea, effects on the body's nervous and respiratory systems, and liver and kidney damage. So my main role is to define policies and ways to mitigate the effects of climate change on public health. I've worked closely with big stakeholders including the DLR (German Space Agency) and the University Of California, San Diego from 2020- 2021 on health/climate research projects. It is my dream to volunteer at the COP27 and I’m excited that I am only one step away from that. I expect by attending the COP27 in Egypt this year to connect with policymakers in the industry to gain new insights about the market of climate change and what are the policies the countries are taking to overcome this global problem. I will also network with game-changers in the industry to update my knowledge in the ongoing research, which will greatly boost my international research projects and open the doors for new collaborations.

I've gone through elementary school upto University level now, currently pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Laws at King Ceasor University with passion to preserve the environment world over.	Seeing everyone today care about making money, in that most people will do anything so as to make the money even when it means destroying or polluting nature. And yet, the little time we stay on this earth is supposed to be productive, preservative and worth it. In that sense therefore when people carry out activities without bearing in mind the consequences of the same to nature gets us to a worse experience and hopeless for a clean environment for the next generations which is why indeed something like creating awareness about the importance of preserving nature at any cost and coming up with practical solutions to deal with the globe today should be emphasized.

She was born on December 23, 1994 in Port de Paix in northwestern Haiti, where she spent most of her childhood. At the age of 18 she finished her secondary education and after the death of her parents since that day she probably knew that she wanted to devote her life to saving lives, she decided to go to Port au Prince a the capital of the country to continue his university studies. My vision for health is to see worldwide coverage of universal health coverage, especially in poor countries, and that money is no longer a barrier to care. And we use technology for the benefit of health and environment. I'm a volunteer at heart. Basically it's me that. I am selfless, philanthropic and cheerful. I care about the job well done. I am meticulous and I love everything that is youthful.	My volunteer career started in 2017. I was in my third year of medical school. A friend invited me to join an organization that worked on universal access to health care, thanks to this organization I was able to participate in the realization of several activities (training, congress, awareness campaign etc...) and in 2018 I was appointed as the coordinator of the commission working on universal health coverage. Again in 2018, I joined an organization called Caribbean Youth Environmental Network in Haiti. I had the opportunity to take part in a workshop to participate in the draft of the youth declaration for Haiti and thanks to this organization in 2019 I had an accreditation to participate in the COP25 in Madrid . Finally, in 2022, on the occasion of World Ocean Day, I organized a set of workshops and awareness campaign on waste management and recycling in Haiti. We were able to gather hundreds of young school children and students during these activities. as a young woman who has always been involved in community action for the climate crisis in Haiti. I can say that I have accumulated a lot of experience and skills in several areas. I have basic skills that can be useful for youth engagement. Leadership, oral fluency, writing skills, negotiation and management techniques are among other basic skills that I have and that I hope to put at the service of your organization during the COP in order to be up to my missions. I can actually help in multiple tasks to ensure the realization of the pavilion in COP27 which is vital for the youth climate movement all over the world.

Climate change is a social injustice and women are affected more because they contribute less.Climate change is the master behind the inequality faced by girls and these girls and women will feel the greatest impacts but will not have information they need to cope. In poverty times girls are often the first to drop out of school to help their families make money and do domestic chores or to look after their families .The greatest disadvantage is that when girls are out of school marriage becomes the topics hence their dreams gets shattered and they are less likely to learn about climate change coping tactics. Educating the girl child on climate change is the foundation of building knowledge skills and behaviours girls needs to adapt to climate change and it also supports girls to be responsible for the environment and active in leading on these issues in their communities hence empowering them .Women need to take lead in clinate policy and decision making so as to ensure that action tackles specific impacts on girls rights .Global warming ,economies must become carbon free and sustainable so as to limit them and girls and women must play a leading role so they will have equal opportunities and will not have to face stereotypes around certain jobs not being suitable for women .

With strong orientation towards plant breeding, ecosystems biodiversity conservation, natural resource management, Environmental impact assessment and audit, research methods in plants and animal science and data analysis. Mr. Mwaniki has a passion for ecosystems Conservation and management. He is ardent on opportunities in organizations committed to: sustainable plant breeding and conservation of plant and animal species, environmental and habitat management. His current focus is on empowerment to communities to have a sense of ownership to their immediate environment, where improvement in plant breeding will lead to better livelihoods, and resilience to climate change. He fully executes high levels of professionalism, personal excellence, and exceptional interpersonal skills for solving difficult problems in a fast-paced environment	My interest ecosystems biodiversity conservation, natural resource management started in a very young age in Primary school, my local area being my inspiration. I grew up besides a local forest known as Kakamega forest. During those day while kids we used to go inside the forest play, swim, gather some fruits gather some wild edible mushrooms. Though at that age most knowledge was shared to us by our parents and friends so we know what was edible and what was poisonous.In high school through help of my Biology teacher Mr Mwachi, he helped me understand lot's of science concept about plants and Fungi. Hence, choose to study for BSc. Botany with the goal of learning plant science to enlighten the community on the very valuable resource that we have(forest).In my undergraduate research work. I focused on cultivation and domestication of wild edible mushroom using Simple bottle systems. Where i learnt and experimented a lot with Wild edible mushrooms like Mwasi, Hakoranyani, Mbwate (local names) and others I am applying for Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Delegate at COP27 as it will provide me with a great opportunity to show the world how local communities in Africa conserve and take care of forests yet end up being very poor, yet the forest are major carbon sinks. Also to show the world how climate change has affected Africa yet the elite countries are the ones that contribute alot to destroying the ozone layer. communities living around the forest should gain alot from their forests in terms of money so as to have a sense of ownership to their Forest and acknowledge their importance to the world in solving climate change problems. Currently, I am working as an intern at Lafarge ecosystems (Haller park Mombasa). I recently participated in a project https://biocult.net/workshop2022. The project was focusing on harnessing the synergies between culture and conservation and i was under Vegetation ecology and biomass. Where we focused on Species richness, biomass and invasive species. The project started on March and end on 19th April 2022. The work is yet to be published. I also attended a Statistical Genetics workshop held at Sino –Africa Joint Research Centre (SAJOREC) that exposed me to the analysis and interpretation of genetic data using R software. My undergraduate attachment at Kenya Forestry Service (KFS) at Shimba hills national park, exposed me to examine keystone species in the forest, invasive species (Lantana camara) threatened and vulnerable plants, plant genetics, plant taxonomy and indigineous tree nusery. I anticipate gaining skills, network with leading scientists represent my continent Africa and build my profile as an upcoming Ambasodor for Ecosystem conservation.

Since the end of my studies I have had a great passion for the climate sector, which has allowed me to integrate the movements and associations involved in this field. Currently I am community manager within Global Peace Chain Mali an international organization of young leaders committed to achieving sustainable development goals. I provide training and supervision for young people on the themes of climate change and biodiversity. I also followed and participated in many training and capacity building which allowed me to acquire a great notion in the field of climate. Currently I also participate in community actions in my country as a consultant and young people involved.	My greatest motivation to participate in COP 27 is explained by the commitment and determination I have for the field of climate mobility. I am full of great experience in the field that has allowed me to be involved in more national initiatives in the country aimed at promoting climate action. Through my organization Global Peace Chain I was able to develop effective skills that will allow me to participate in this COP 27 while sharing knowledge and experiences with other young people. COP27 will be an opportunity for me to network with other young experts on the themes of climate mobility around the world, but also to strengthen my knowledge during the various sessions that will take place.
309	Annita	Kirwa	International Livestock Research Institute		I hold a bachelors’ degree in geography from Egerton University and a masters’ degree in environmental risks and human security from United Nations University and University of Bonn. I have worked as a science researcher, a humanitarian and conservationist linking sustainable livelihoods and environmental conservation. My research interests revolves around discourses surrounding climate change, development policy and governance in the marginalized regions including arid and semi-arid environments in Kenya. And experience in multi-sectoral backgrounds spanning from qualitative and quantitative research, monitoring and evaluation, disaster risk reduction, vulnerability assessments, peace and conflict studies, food security, adaptation, resilience, climate smart agriculture. I am currently working on the Research, ‘Governing synergies and trade-offs with SDG2 in Kenya: a global to local study of Climate-Smart Livestock in Kenya’. It studies the role of governance mechanisms for cross-level and cross-sector alignment in addressing trade-offs and creating synergies between SDGs in Climate-Smart Livestock policies and project in Kenya. The 4-year fellowship project takes a global-to-local approach, taking the efforts of development actors at the global and international level as a starting point and tracing how their actions affect SDG interactions at the local level paying close attention to policy coherence for development through mechanisms of inter-donor alignment and inter-departmental alignment.	In my quest to get a better understanding of the reason as to why regions in Africa are still experiencing food shortages and livestock deaths thereby increased poverty levels and hunger, yet its’ governments is in the forefront in signing international treaties and partnering to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. I am applying to the ACMI youth Forum to gained insights on how climate mobility are more impacted by policies, decisions and processes which are continuously adapting shaped by internal and external social, environmental, economic and political dynamics. I was able to recognize the effectiveness of multi-functionality, multi-stakeholder, multi-sector collaboration among all SDGs with priority for poverty reduction and human rights. In the course of my academic and professional journey, particularly the research projects that I have been involved in, it is clear that some countries have achieved many of the SDGs while others are not even on track to realize any. Kenya has made significant progress in achieving many of the SDGs despite its fairly favorable economic outlook. Especially with regard to SDG 2, tremendous positive steps have been made through the affiliated ministries. But the progress has not been uniform across the goals. It is for this reason that I want to be part of the African team that will investigate on the governing synergies, interactions and recommend necessary strategies and policies that will put African countries on track to achieving all the 17 Sustainable Development goals by 2030.
310	Nozinhle Evelyn	Gumede	Earth Uprising	http://earthuprising.org/ Earth Uprising International	I am a 20 year old climate activist from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. In 2019, the tropical cyclone Idai devastated the Manicaland and Masvingo regions of Zimbabwe, leaving it inundated and thousands displaced. While those regions were submerged under water, the opposite was happening in the region I come from. Drought has plagued Matabeleland; with the drop in rain levels destroying crops, increasing poverty, and hunger throughout the population. This is what motivated me to become a climate activist. The climate crisis is of Great Importance to me because it is real and their effects are devastating, causing poverty to many and loss of livelihood. I teach communities around me about Climate Change adaptation and Sustainability. The pathway to change is not only created through educating rural communities on climate change, but also understanding their resilience and their specific vulnerabilities. I was part of an NGO called WeeW that donated sanitary wear to girls that were most effected by climate change, they couldn’t go to school and missed a week per month because they never had sanitary wear. In Zimbabwe our voices aren’t amplified enough and I want that to change.	Us as Zimbabweans we’re never heard in such events, it’s almost as if we’re non existent. It’s sad and painful because we get to live with the effects of climate change. Africa is going to have the worst effects of climate change but we cause the least damage to our climate globally, hence we need to hold world leaders accountable for their actions. The climate crisis isn’t a problem of the future but it’s a problem of the now. So many families around me have lost livelihoods due to the climate crisis. The droughts in Matebeleland cause a lot of hunger and poverty in my rural area. Families sleep without eating and the girl child is the most affected by this. People might not see the impact that climate change effects has on children but I’ll be their voice of Southern Africa and Africa as a whole. Girls around me don’t go to school because of many various reasons linked to the climate change crisis. Girls wake up early every morning and walk long distances to get water and sometimes don’t make it to school. As the climate change crisis worsens they’ll walk even further. Most families do not have the money to pay for children’s basic needs such as clean water, healthcare and even food. All this is because of the droughts that have withered they’re crops hence them losing their source of income. What’s our Government doing about that? Nothing! Something needs to be done, our leaders need to be part of the change. I want my voice, our voices to be heard this year. There’s so much to say, so much to fight for but we can’t do it alone, can we?

Born in a small farm at the North West province and raised in the Free State province, in a township called Tumahole near Parys. I spent most of my childhood moving between the North West Province and Parys a couple of times while my Mom would come and take me to Parys after her schools’ exams, most of the times I spent most of my vacation in my granny and auntie’s domestic work places meaning I was exposed to white families at a very young age and this led me to notice the difference in racial imbalances with my African family and our Caucasian/European friends. In Parys I was raised both in my mom and dad’s families but I was always different to my cousins as I was always inquisitive, showing a maturity more than other children. I was able to found a newspaper at the age of 14 then followed Puisano Yaka Le Wena (PYLW) where I provide COUNSELLING,PUBLISHING and MOTIVATION to readers. In 2014 when I founded the newspaper - I STARTED MMTOURS which is a Traveling and Tour company offering touring GUIDING SERVICES and ACCOMODATION using your own transport. My scope of interests led to another collaboration with Lotsha Ministries based in Parys from 2016, where I assisted with their church programs and prison ministry and I was a project coordinator in charge of their initiatives. Sometimes my mom will work outside Parys whenever she goes to work I will always feel lonelier because I knew the bad treatment I would receive during her absence, I even tried committing suicide three times but I learned and understood that I was not alone at all, GOD was with me every step of the way. I was like KING DAVID, JOSEPH, and JOB if you read their life history that is exactly my life path too. God gave me life lessons through my challenges that I faced on a daily basis and Education was the only weapon I learned to use to fight my challenges. I quote my words which I use everyday ‘’ MY BODY MAY BE WEAK BUT I AM STRONGER THAN THE FLESH and I AM GOING FORWARD’’ those words always amaze many people how come I talk like that? No normal kid speaks like that. Until now I never stopped breaking the walls with inspiring, motivating words that empower me, LEADING in ALL ASPECTS OF MY LIFE. I never let the lack of money stop me in pursuing my dreams and most importantly or me to understand my PURPOSE IN LIFE AND GOD’S PLAN FOR ME – I never looked at my situation in terms of the troubles I faced but rather in finding a solution to overcome my limitations. Remember I do not inspire for fame or popularity I inspire you to move from I CAN’T state to I CAN against all odds, I teach aspiration. Update on new activities.

317	Hamdan	Malik Hamdan Mohamedahmed	Extinction Rebellion	https://rebellion.global/submit-group	My name is Hamdan Malik Hamdan Mohamedahmed Extinction Rebellion Sudan I am the founder and national coordinator of Extinction Rebellion Sudan, which includes three local groups with 12 people. Extinction Rebellion (XR) is a global environmental movement that uses non-violent action to attempt to halt mass extinction and minimise the risk of ecological collapse of societies. We are focused on environment and democractic ways to stop climate change. “Beyond politics” is one of XR’s slogans and we do not take any political sides. Our actions are purely for the environment, rather than against any political party. Extinction Rebellion does not tolerate or exercise violents as one of its core values that members have to abide by. The nexus of human rights and international law are incrementally intertwined, as evidenced by the UN’s recent passing of a resolution recognising access to a healthy and sustainable environment as a universal right . Against this backdrop, I have been and am always working on a number of themes and issues pertaining to communciation through different social media channels for better awareness creation about the trending climate change situation espacially the ignorant youth who remain voiceless most of the time with difficulties accessing the Internet, allow me to briefly summarize how i do this kind of voluntary work: By forming different communication channels within different peer youth groups as a founder and coordinator for XR Sudan, part of a global non-violent movement to have peacefully assemblies within the nearby university and community, my main interest being in the environment and democracy or even communicate beyond the two, throughout my participation i have become some small respected expert within the community and rural areas , peacefully attended different local conferences against the October-November Coup d’etat, where exercising rights to freedom of speech and freedom of assembly as embedded in multiple covenants on human rights, most notably the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was yawned for. My communication to have peaceful assemblies and actions have always been most of the times peaceful as non-violence is the 9th Principle and Value of XR . We are internationally renowned for strategic non-violence. To seek, obtain, receive and hold information relating social, ecological and climate change emergency situations. My educational and university activities have led me to obtain information, and even to be the victim, of abuses sometimes recognised in international law, including torture, and unnecessary arbitraty arrests main reasons " addressing environmental, social , ecological& human rights topics the local community to develop and discuss new human rights ideas and principles so that they can be accepted. My communication skills go beyond informal studies, presentations and resarch to discuss ideas & principles relating to social ecological and environmental justice. As the degradation of environment and exploitation of people often converge, also researching on wider human rights violations now with plans to forward these insights through Extinction Rebellion to relevant UNCC for possible future action.	Motivation #My motivation is to work with more youh to help, advance the international movement for climate justice and positively influence change by attending COP27 and side events. Vital to me to achieve our goals at COP27 as environmental activist's being fully involved in all the conference activities. I will do this in Arabic to make local people who do not speak English in Africa but can only understand it are included get ware of the seriousness of this crisis, as information on this topic is very scarce, which is very harmful to local communities. More willing and curious to represent the people of the Nile Basin through interviews, recordings and side exhibitions exhibiting the crisis situation on the groundwhere peopleare directlly affected by climatechange. # Discuss plans to implement measures to transform society's relationship with climate change related strategy and to ensure the achievement of the common vision of living in harmony with nature in the coming years. # Work on conference scenarios also in the implementation of the CBD protocols addressing the fair and equitable sharing of benefits from the use of nature, safe transportation, handling and labeling of living modified organisms.

I have also been chosen for the Youth in Development Fellowship where I would be allowed to attain a fellowship status from the program. I grew up in an era when the climate was much healthy and green grass was almost everywhere for us kids to play. But the reverse is the case today because developers have taken over most of these spaces to skyscrapers.

I have worked with various organisations from Cotecna Destinations Inspection Ltd, and the University of the People while I currently consult with the Customs Committee on Duty and Excise in the National Assembly of Nigeria.	I am a Climate Change enthusiast something I have always known but lately, as I watch my children grow I begin to see what they would miss if one does not add their voice to the issues on the climate. Belonging to this Forum or being part of its Community of Practice, will allow me to be informed about its work, enable me to drive common youth advocacy in my community and allow me to support youth-led and youth-focused action to address the risks and harness the opportunities associated with climate mobility in Africa.

I come from a family of two and am the first born. I am single and graduated from the university of zambia two years ago. I studied business administration with economics and since then I have been working in the financial services industry. Through out my journey in life I have been interested in making the world we like a better place. For me any little impact I create that helps sustain lives makes me proud.	My motivation to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate has always been my passion for environmental sustainability. I am passionate about environment sustainability and when I was in my final year in campus I joined a movement under the development studies student association to educate people in communities and our fellow students in the impacts of land , air and water pollution. This takes us back to climate, climatic changes are attributed to how we use the environment. Over the years zambia has recorded climatic changes due to high cutting down or trees in the northern and Copperbelt regions. This has come as a result of high demand for Mukula trees . Anyway from this, there’s also water and air pollution due to a rise in factories. Every time I we get to experience climatic change i get inspired to work hard towards sensitizing communities on our we can preserve the environment. Worldwide climatic change has become a topic because of the impacts it’s bringing to human nature and that motivates me to Join or be part of initiatives that are working together to make our world a better place.

I have two and a half years of experience in primary and secondary social work practice. My primary social work practice concentrates more on HIV/AIDS related settings and my secondary roles have been more on research, innovation and project management. My research concentrates more on child protection and youth issues. I am so proactive in responding to pressing social issues	I see ACMI as an opportunity to portal through the climate change movement. With my membership to this platform, I believe that I will have an altitude high enough to influence adaptive ecosystem restoration strategies for developing countries like Uganda. Being on a competitive trajectory to achieving global development standards, countries in Low and Middle income countries are engaging in harmful human activities that expose not only them to the consequences of harsh climatic extremities, but the regions and the world in which they are situated. Bringing this nuanced perspective to the COP27 conference is the sole purpose I will carry with me to be a part of the ACMI Youth Forum delegate.

She is a holder of a BSc in Communication and Development Studies and currently the Communication Assistant of the Rural Women Center for Education and Development (RuWCED) where she uses her skills and knowledge to effect change in the community especially in fighting climate change through sensitizations, write-ups and poems and providing rural women and girls with alternative environmentally friendly livelihood skills and resources combined with inclusive and supportive regulatory frameworks as a first step in climate change mitigation. She also uses her skills and knowledge to effect change in the community in the domains of Gender Based Violence (GBV) and Harmful Traditional Practices (HP) which has worsen because of the Anglophone crisis plaguing the English speaking regions of her country, Cameroon. She equally assisted in the creation of the Novawi Mobile application by developing content to sensitize and educate users on the effects of GBV and how they can easily seek help in case of any form of violence by simply thumbing through the app and hitting the panic button. She is equally a quiz master working remotely for a Swiss online company where she reads books on self-development and business growth and set fun quizzes for users who may not have the time to read through a book but wants to know what the book is all about.

My passion in environmental conservation and my drive as a Development Communicator to ensure development is realized in a sustainable manner is a reason why I am applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate. I was part of an environmental reporting grant of the African Women in Media (AWiM) that explored environmental solution to gendered aspects of environmental issues in Africa with a focus on any of the 12 elements of the Africa green stimulus program. My story was on women’s engagement in forestry preservation and the production of organic charcoal in Cameroon in fighting indoor air pollution and it made references to past events like COP26. I equally worked with the International Labour Organisation (ILO) as a reporter in Bamenda to cover the training of young civil engineers on the production of pavement tiles and cobble stones. I am the communication assistant for the Rural Women Center for Education and Development (RuWCED-Cameroon) and I was the main communications person in one of their environmental projects on training internally displaced women on sustainable watershed management and the production of cleaner cooking stoves in Bamenda.. Issues of environmental health have become increasingly global and the cost of neglecting it will weigh heavily on us in future if action is not taken now. Addressing these challenges today for a pollution free future is my priority and considering me for this program will help me connect with others to lay more emphasis on issues of common concerns such as water pollution, land pollution and both indoor and outdoor air pollution which are the main issues plaguing my country Cameroon. I also just completed the Young Africa Media Fellowship 2022 and I am in the last phase of the YALI RLC West Africa Cohort 40 Online. I have learned so much and would not want to waste anymore time restituting the knowledge acquired. I believe this platform gives me the perfect grounds to start.

345	Akintunde	Babatunde	Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development	https://thecjid.org/	Akintunde Babatunde is a media development professional. He is currently the Anglophone Africa Coordinator of the Open Climate Reporting Initiative of the British Centre for Investigative Journalism, London. He also doubles as the Deputy Director (Development) at the Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development, Abuja. His fields of expertise include media innovation, project management, and climate change. As a Google-certified project manager, Akintunde has a proven track record of leading and managing donor-funded media innovation projects across 11 countries in Anglophone Africa. He has coordinated over 30 capacity development programs and training for over a thousand journalists, researchers, civil society practitioners, and government officials, which has led to the publication of over 500 reports; 10 policy briefs published in over 30 news agencies and development platforms in Africa. His over 200 written articles have appeared in Premium Times, Dubawa, Gas Outlook, Climate Tracker, and Anthro Circus. During the last COP26 held in Glasgow UK in 2021, Akintunde published over 30 news articles on climate change with a special feature for young people (https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/493862-cop26-african-activists-seek-actions-not-words-from-global-leaders.html) Akintunde is the leading climate change media professional having launched the first media climate change media fellowship in West Africa for journalists and Researchers. His work has gained some recognition over the years. In 2019, He was the only Nigerian selected by the UNESCO-supported Global Alliance and Partnership for Media and Information Literacy (GAPMIL) to promote the need for skills acquisition, knowledge and improve African youth’s competencies in Media and Information Literacy. With GAPMIL, we collaborate with operational partners and stakeholders of UNESCO in each region to promote awareness of Media and Information Literacy among young people across Africa. More recently, his work on environmental sustainability and climate change has attracted global recognition with a presentation (https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/445368-eu-parliament-pressed-to-demand-accountability-from-nigeria.html) he made at the EU parliament in February 2021 on the “Human Rights Implications of Climate Change, a media feature at the New York Times Climate Hub at COP26 to discuss (https://www.tortoisemedia.com/thinkin/goodbye-big-oil-hello-mega-oil/) the oil dependency and net zero ambition in Nigeria, and a feature article by the Reuters Institute. In 2020, Akintunde won the British Government Chevening scholarship out of over 8000 applicants to study for a master’s degree in Media Practice for Development and Social Change at the University of Sussex, United Kingdom. In June 2022, He was selected (https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/535735-cjid-director-wins-mandela-washington-fellowship.html) out of a pool of over 9,000 applicants as a US Government Mandela Washington Fellow at the Presidential Precinct, VA. Akintunde’s written and broadcast commentary has appeared in the Associated Press, BBC, Channels TV, Silverbird TV, among others.	As a development communication professional with extensive experience in deploying data and storytelling to advance issues of public importance, I currently coordinate a Climate Change Media Project for the Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development, and the British centre for Investigative Journalism within the larger context of an Environmental Journalism programme across 11 countries in Anglophone Africa. The project I coordinate layers on the suppressed debate in Africa that the regional security, economic prosperity, and social well-being depends on a robust climate literacy to which journalism has a crucial role to promote and also help in holding those entrusted with responsibilities to be accountable. At the moment, I lead the publication of facts-based investigative reports in Anglophone Africa on how the current extreme weather conditions and sea-level rise, which are threatening human living and economic productivity with disasters such as flooding, desertification, is affecting Nigeria, Ghana, The Gambia, Sierra Leone and Liberia. Some of my work on climate mobility have been around telling the stories of climate displaced persons in Africa with specific reference to gender impact on climate change, as part of a research endeavour I led on behalf of my organisation and the John Hopkins University. My desire to attend COP27 as an ACMI Youth Forum delegate was inspired by my belief that being a part of a group of young people that will attend one of the most important climate events in our time will allow me an opportunity to partake in critical debates, form alliances and deepen my understanding of the solutions that will be discussed at the event. I am aware that as a COP27 attendee representing ACMI, I will not only help provide key information on the conference to other young persons from around the world, I would also have access to the rich conversation on climate which will in turn improve my knowledge of the issues that will trickle down to the work I do in Anglophone Africa about strengthening a media ecosystem that deploys data-driven and thought-provoking storytelling tools to force climate accountability and drive reforms and policy changes on issues affecting climate change and national resources governance in globally. Just as I did in 2021 at COP26 with over 30 articles published on COP26 (https://www.premiumtimesng.com/author/akintunde), I am looking forward to telling the story of ACMI as it relates to climate mobility globally.

I am a young woman who believes that innovation, research, and creativity can contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This is why I founded IMPACT VERT to encourage young people to create and innovate green solutions based on a circular and green economy model. Because apart from raising awareness, only green entrepreneurship and innovation could ensure the resilience and adaptability of local populations in the face of the effects of climate change. My background, ability to adapt, communication skills and interest in innovation allow me to invest myself in projects for a good result.	During the field visits for the drafting of the environmental and social impact study reports, I had to facilitate public consultations for the portable water authorization project in rural areas. During the meetings, I noticed that the issue of drinking water is still topical because 85% of farmers depend on rainwater for food production. However, knowing that in the era of climate change, climate variability can have an impact on rainy seasons, I asked myself the following question: how can farmers adapt to the effects of climate change (drought, soil degradation)? How can they have a good yield to ensure the financial needs of their children? In Africa, especially in Benin, farmers do not have health insurance or social assistance. Without further ado, I decided to organize annual hackathons to encourage young people to innovate solutions that could solve all the problems in the environmental sector. It has been a great experience. And the advantage of this hackathon is that 12 young people can defend their ideas and have support to structure their initiatives. So, becoming a delegate of the ACMI Youth Forum for COP27 will not only allow me to present the impact of climate on vulnerable groups (children, farmers, women, etc.) but also to contribute to the development of solutions and gain another experience that will allow me to improve actions at the community level. I'm available
354	David	Willima	Institute for Security Studies	https://issafrica.org/topics-regions/search?topics=379&regions=	David Willima works as a Research Officer on maritime security at the Institute for Security Studies in the Pretoria office. Prior to joining the ISS, David worked for the Environmental Learning and Research Centre at Rhodes University in South Africa as a research assistant on the One Ocean Hub Project. After that he joined Caritas-Zambia as an election monitoring provincial coordinator in the Democracy and Governance Unit. In April 2022, David participated as one of the 28 International youth Delegates and one of two youth delegates from Africa at the 7th Our Ocean Conference co-hosted by the U.S government and Palau in koro, Palau and recently was a delegate speaker on the oceans plenary session at the One Young World Manchester 2022 Summit.	In my work to support African maritime and blue economy institutions at national, regional and continental levels through evidence based research, capacity building and technical assistance, climate change through sea level rising has emerged as a contributor of climate changed induced migration for coastal communities and communities around Africa's inland waterways. Simultaneously, African population projections show that Africa's rising young population (70 %) is increasingly migrating to the coast, putting more pressure on marine resources. This, coupled with floods such as those seen in Southern Africa around Mozambique, Malawi and Madagascar in recent years make climate mobility a real cause of insecurity in Africa and an important part of my work. I am therefore motivated to apply to be a ACMI youth forum delegate to share my knowledge on this and learn from other incredible delegates in hopes to find solutions to not only mitigate but to adapt to climate change and create better climate resilient policies as we seek to protect our oceans.

He is currently finalizing my Master’s degree at Kenyatta University in Kenya	I am currently finalizing my Master’s degree at Kenyatta University in Kenya and serving as a Fellow at Black Diplomats Academy of Canada where I am exploring the role of multilateral institutions in achieving environmental justice in black communities with a focus on Kenya and USA. While the concept of environmental justice continues to forge new ways to generate and preserve knowledge, educate people, and disseminate information, it is also characterized by the growing gap between those who are been limited, denied, or undermined by laws and policies that have roots in colonial laws and systemic racism perpetrated over the past years that distribute environmental burdens unproportionally. The ever-growing interdependencies between the pivotal role of climate mobility and environmental justice have created a mutual entanglement of both spheres which manifests on many levels with the countries in Africa being vital enablers. In response to the major transformations in our societies due to the impacts of climate change and climate variations where multiple sectors of our global society are grappling to make sense of how to examine concrete ways to put intersectional equity and inclusion into practice and the importance of listening and relationship building in ensuring environmental justice, i am seeking to be part of a growing discussion in thoughtful, provocative conversations on how to ensure policy frameworks balances the competing demands of the economy and environment, and how environmental justice is inextricably related to the sustainable development goals. In doing this, I will be taking a special focus to dig into real world challenges and inspiring examples of liberatory, anti-racist and intersectional practices in businesses, organizations, and communities with the overall aim of ensuring one group does not bear an extra burden from the repercussions of climate injustices while at the same time giving an equal opportunity for everyone to be able to participate and make decisions that would be best for their region and country. I have been influenced by the program approach in delivering the youth delegates program using a unique blend of dialogue and hands-on sessions. Solving current problems require mutual understanding and cooperation of participants with different backgrounds and methods applied and this innovative type of fellowship represents represent the next step to significant advances in this field.

As a youth and as the face of the future of Africa, I am applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate to lend my voice and more importantly be prepared to contribute to the transformation that has begun. Seeing more frequent and intense drought, storms, heat waves, rising sea levels, melting glaciers, and warming oceans which can directly harm animals, destroy the places they live, and wreak havoc on people's livelihoods and communities; the passion to see that many youths all over Africa take the right steps to manage the situation has propelled me to make this application. Climate change is impacting human lives and health in a variety of ways. It threatens the essential ingredients of good health – clean air, safe drinking water, nutritious food supply and safe shelter – and has the potential to undermine decades of progress in global health. The time is now, while we still have the chance to do things right and I am committed. This Forum will help me meet several youths from other parts of Africa with like passion, it will help me establish the right network to drive the necessary action in Africa and precisely Nigeria, where I reside.

I have good academic knowledge with ship design, fluid mechanics, marine fuels, and internal combustion engines. In addition to use design and simulation software applications such as SolidWorks, ANSYS fluent, and EES to optimize solutions and get the best results.	No one can deny climate change now, as the weather has become unsuitable most of the time, in addition to the spread of epidemics, and the main reason is the emissions of burning conventional fuel in various sectors. This prompted us to study and investigate various emission-cutting methods, such as renewable energy, alternative fuels, and modern technologies. I'd like to express my interest in attende Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) at COP27. My name is Mahmoud Abdel Nasser, and I graduated with an excellent degree (86.47%) from Alexandria University in 2018 as a marine engineer. Following graduation, I served in the Navy force for three years as a mechanical engineer on ships, gaining valuable hands-on experience. I am now employed as an assistant lecturer in the Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Alexandria University, Egypt. In addition to working as a teaching assistant at the Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport. I completed the first year of my MSc degree at Alexandria University, titled "The Comparative Studies of Using Alternative Fuels to Reduce Emissions" by using numerical and technical analysis to optimise the best economic and environmental fuels that meet emissions requirements. I am in the phase of sending two articles for published. For this, I have a quite strong academic background.

374	mwayiwawo	chitsamba	Malawi National Youth Network on Climate Change	https://web.facebook.com/groups/103717899718258/?_rdc=1&_rdr	Am an environmental activist and youth advocate 26 years of age with a BSC in environmental Science and also I am an alumnae of this year’s Nairobi summer school on climate justice. I have vast experience in climate change awareness, action and campaigns. Currently am working with Malawi National youth network on climate change. I am a youth champion in policy advocacy I was trained by Health Policy Plus (HP+) project with support from U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The training has given me skills and knowledge in effective policy advocacy at community, district and national levels. For the past 3 years I have been involved in policy advocacy in issues related to Health, Youth participation and climate change. In additional to that am part of Plan Malawi international youth Advisory Panel where am able to engage with duty bearers, Plan staff and government officials in high level decisions making at all levels including regionally and internationally as one way of increasing youth voice on issues affecting young people, including discussions around gender disparities, climate change and creation of green jobs in Malawi.	I am an environmental youth advocate. Attending this gathering will enhance my capacity and knowledge to fight for climate justice in my community as well as Africa as a whole. My expectation is to share and learn experiences and scientific innovations that addresses environmental and climate justice in Africa and also Being an alumnae of the 2nd edition of Nairobi summer school on climate justice i have strong knowledge in climate advocacy, mitigation, adaptation and loss and damage concepts which am willing to share with my fellow youth during the gathering. I feel like this is a good platform for networking and exchanging views, among young people with decision-makers from different levels of society. This conference will be an important linkage between young people and representatives from politics and Business. My motivation to attend this conference is driven by the impacts of climate change my country is facing. Climate change shocks in Malawi are characterized by erratic rainfall, droughts, prolonged dry spells and strong winds. The changing climate has affected various sectors of the economy including agriculture, health, water, energy, transport, education, gender, forestry, wildlife and infrastructure. These changes also have major implications for human welfare especially girls and women in Malawi because of their dependency on natural resources. As young advocates I will be attend this conference to fight for climate justice because climate change impacts are creating injustices where by those least responsible for the crisis (Africa contributes 2-3 % of global emissions) suffers the greatest harm because of the prevailing low levels of socioeconomic growth. So fighting climate justice seeks to hold global north accountable to take a leading role in addressing these inequities through long term mitigation and adaptation strategies. On the same note this conference will be a good platform to amplify the wishes and views of young people in Africa in regards to climate justice and bring it to the attention of our leaders, climate negotiators, and the COP27 Presidency.

377	Moliehi	Mafantiri	South African Climate Action Network	https://sacan.africa/	My name is Moliehi Mafantiri, I am a 26-year-old Intern: Climate Action and Coordination at the South african Climate Action Network and Master's Candidate at the University of Pretoria, enrolled for the MA Environment and Society course. I am a Lesotho native, I obtained my secondary education at Machabeng International College of Lesotho before pursuing tertiary studies in South Africa. At the heart of all my interests is my desire to acquire more knowledge. When I decided to pursue my Bachelor of Arts degree in Geography and Environmental Management and a subsequent Honours degree in the same specialisation, I was motivated by my curiosity about the world that we live in, the ways mankind has constructed modern-day life and how the sciences hold the solutions to global challenges, such as human-induced climate change. I am grateful to be pursuing a Master of Arts in Environment and Society course because it helps equip scholars to understand climate justice and work in the climate action space. As a driven individual with a strong sense of community, I have done my best to fine-tune my leadership skills. In my undergraduate years, I was a cohort member of Prof Jonathen Jansen’s Leadership for Change Program in 2015 at the University of the Free State(UFS). We were tasked to identify problems on our campus and collaborate with student leaders at the University Of Mahasarakham, Thailand, to solve them. The campaigns contributed to policy processes in student development on campus. Additionally, I was a Prime Liaison: Residence Assistant at House Harmony, UFS and I mentored a group of young women. That inspired me to support women empowerment which I believe is necessary for the realisation of all sustainable development goals and climate mobility actions. Additionally, I am an Intern: Climate Action and Coordination, at the South African Climate Action Network (SACAN). I work closely to support and strengthen stakeholder engagement with civil society organisations (CSOs) across South Africa, the CSOs are inclusive of both community-based organisations and NGOS. I also work on the Climate Ambition to Accountability Project (co-funded by the EU)-— by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the South African Climate Action Network and the Institute for Economic Justice (IEJ). The project's objective is to realise the effective participation of South African organisations in climate change governance to ensure enhanced climate policy ambition, implementation and accountability. I have assisted with the planning of webinars, most recently, I provided logistics support for the Policy Dialogue: Net Zero by 2050 for South Africa. I also assisted with the planning of youth and civil societies stakeholder engagement events on the Just Energy Transition Partnership held by the Presidential Climate Commission(South Africa) in the past two months. My responsibilities included- communicating with stakeholders, providing online support during virtual meetings, note-taking during events and coordinating data and transport support for participants. Currently, I am providing assistance on the Youth Climate Champions Bootcamp that will capacitate youth to take climate action	COP27 has been nicknamed “The African COP”, and this presents a timely opportunity for African youth to have their calls for urgent climate action and climate justice for the entire Global South heard. Youth participation in climate policy-making processes is the key to more effective climate policy and a significant step towards climate resilience. “Nothing for us without us” for far too long, youth have been far removed from policymaking, and at COP26, promises were made for genuine youth inclusion. Those promises have to be realised. As an intern at the South African Climate Action Network (SACAN), I would like to attend COP to represent the views on climate action that the organisation has instilled in me, mainly to advocate for global strategies for climate action and sustainable development informed by the bottom-up approaches. It would be an honour to be an ACMI Youth Forum delegate and to contribute to achieving SDG 10 and SDG 13; the Youth Forum vision of youth advocacy and capacitating youth-led is one that I share. The IPCC has reported that despite its low contribution to the high-carbon global economy, the African continent will suffer disproportionately from adverse climate change impacts. Temperatures in 21st-century Africa are predicted to rise above the global average, and African states' population is expected to double by 2050 to 2.5 billion people. Moreover, recent studies have revealed that by 2050, 86 million Africans will be forced by climate change to migrate to their own countries. Such circumstances would put the continent in a precarious position, likely exacerbating the development problems experienced by all spheres of its societies. Moreover, climate-forced mobility further worsens the aforementioned development challenges- political instability, conflict over natural resources, and poor economic growth. Southern Africa has experienced flood crises in the past 20 years. The most recent floods in Mozambique and South Africa have displaced 23,000 and 40,000 people, respectively. The non-economic and permanent loss that both countries suffered in affected regions has been immense. African youth should advocate for developing a loss and damage finance facility that would bring relief to the displaced people in need. At COP27, African youth must push back against the resistance to loss and damage finance mechanisms. Furthermore, as the global society looks towards just transitions, the African continent needs to ensure that climate-forced migration, as a problem that is already being experienced, is prioritised on the COP Agenda.

I endeavor to make meaningful connections during the COP27, that I can leverage on to providing support in terms of capacity building and technology transfer. This will spur knowledge transfer innovations among the youths towards climate action, thereby enhancing their resilience.

I am motivated to apply to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for the upcoming COP27 as I believe that I could bring valuable skills, commitment, and diversity which would make me an ideal fit for the delegation. Given my experience in civic engagement in raising awareness on environmental issues, I believe in the power of words and how much can be done to influence and support people's needs. Through voicing their concerns and call for their demands but also turning their challenges into actionable changes that can support many communities to the better through policy framework and reforms. I have been working as an environmental policy researcher for a total of about four years starting research in the field during my master's studies then working in the field for two years after graduating. Being a delegate would allow me to interact and share my insights and use the line of persuasion during the important event of COP27 which I believe this year is crucial to call for urgent action. It will put my skills and thoughts into direct practice and effectiveness but it will allow me to enhance my techniques and commitment in the climate change fight especially for the MENA region which is one of the regions affected the most by climate change.

Thank you so much may God bless you and we shall continue to fight and try any possible way to conserve the environment and stop the climatic changes. I myself am so much concerned about all the unfairness going on in different parts of Africa especially my home country because it is causing unpredictable changes in climate. This sometimes causes too much sunshine that is not healthy at all and affects our skins hence being prone to skin cancer. The global warming is bringing damage to the unborn children and so many more.

He is very committed to the cause of rehabilitation of rural people through modern peasantry, the fight against hunger and the fight against climate change. Chavez has worked in civil society organizations in the Congo, such as the EIPJ-RDC (Espace Inter-Plateforme des Jeunes), which has given him considerable experience in decision-making within the structure. He is also co-founder of a local organization called MKAAJI MPYA asbl (www.mkaajimpya.org) which comes to the aid of people living in rural areas by providing them with expertise in improving agricultural yields through an approach of assistance and especially access to improved seeds. Currently, Chavez is a researcher at the Angaza Institute (www.angazainstitute.ac.cd) of ISDR-Bukavu. His research areas are mainly: Population migration, access to land, land governance and natural resource management. Chavez is a laureate of the International Observatory of Participatory Democracy (IOPD).	First of all, my motivation to participate in the COP27 in Egypt is that I have the ability to interact and the perfect knowledge of my environment of origin (South Kivu). This environment is devastated by the felling of trees and mining operations in the Kahuzi-Biega and Virunga national parks as well as in the Nindja ecological corridor. I have worked in environmental projects in these areas, which has given me considerable field experience and also a descriptive analysis of the habits and customs of the communities living around the protected areas. Last June, I participated in the African Congress of Protected Areas in Kigali (Rwanda), which helped me to understand and participate in the development of conservation strategies for protected areas in our continent. My experience with projects and organizations allowed me to become familiar with contemporary conservation realities and strategies to mitigate them.

I am writing to you regarding enrollment in The ACMI Youth Forum, drive common youth advocacy, and support youth-led and youth-focused action to address the risks and harness the opportunities associated with climate mobility in Africa. The work and engagements of the ACMI Youth Forum are supported As you probably know, effective leadership skills are one of the most admired but least taught skills in manlife today. Effective leaders manage teams with significantly higher employee engagement, are more innovative, have less turnover, and better identify and develop emerging leaders. So I believe in your free programme that mobilizes people and organisations to support positive citizen leadership on sustainability. I’m working as Government Relations Specialist under the Head of Public Affairs , in addition I am the founder of “Alf Street”, Initiative. Also the captain of the Egyptian national team in the world Top 20 project hosted by New Jersy Minority Education Development “NJ MED”, and then I will found an association for foreign students in Egypt under the auspices of the Egyptian Ministry of Higher Education. I see the benefit of The ACMI Youth Forum in my fields of work, this help me develop my skills and I believe that it will help me discover valuable new ways to impact our business as a better manager and understand how to bring out the best in our teams. So I need some professional skills to make me an inspiring, influential, persuasive and knowledgeable leader in all aspects of leadership.

393	Kelvin	Mirii	Kenya Forestry Research Institute	https://www.kefri.org/home.html	My name is Kelvin Kimani Mirii a climate change activist from Kenya. I am a graduate of Heriot Watt University, UK, where I pursued a Master of Science Degree in Energy. I also hold a Bachelor of Science Degree in Natural Resources Management from Egerton University Kenya. One of my earliest experiences was working as an attaché in Department of Environment, Natural Resources water and energy in County Government of Nakuru. I gained valuable skills in nursery management, tree planting, pest/disease control, Environmental conservation, community sensitization programs and Natural Forest Management practices. After completion of my Bachelor’s degree in Natural Resource Management at Egerton University, I joined Heriot-Watt University, United Kingdom where I studied a Master of Science degree in Energy and graduated in 2018. I was able to gain insightful knowledge and skills including renewable energy technologies, climate change, energy storage, carbon capture technologies among others. Upon returning to Kenya, I started working as a part time lecturer at Egerton University. I am currently working at Kenya Forestry Research Institute as an intern under the Research and Development department. During this period, I have worked under several projects providing support in terms of technical support, implementation, supervision, monitoring and evaluation. I also participated in the following: 1. Offering agricultural extension services. 2. Designing and conducting experiments in the field. This included field data collection, interpret data from experimental trial results and presentation of findings. 3. Training of university/college students on academic attachment about the overall processes of the Research and development section. 4. Advising clients on the improvement of the soil and/environmental guidelines and practices in project implementation	My motivation for becoming a delegate for COP27 is my passion for reducing air pollution and mitigating impacts of human activity on the environment. I believe in the importance of taking action now to mitigate the effects of global warming. I believe that we should not wait until the last minute before we take action, as doing so will cause irreversible damage to our planet. By being involved in the Youth Forum I hope to inspire others to get involved and make a difference. Climate change impacts everyone and everything around us, including our food supply chain. As a result, many people have already started making changes in their lives to reduce their carbon footprint. But what about those who are unable to afford these changes? How do we make sure they don't fall behind? To address this challenge, I want to ensure that youth delegates represent the interests of all people and promote a fair, equitable distribution of opportunities across communities. COP21 was a success in Paris that saw countries sign onto the Paris Agreement, however COP27 in Egypt is a critical step to implementing the agreement. Climate change is a serious issue that affects us all. If we don’t act soon, we will end up paying for our mistakes later. I believe that addressing this issue requires a collective effort. We cannot expect governments to solve this problem alone; instead we need to join forces and work together. Young people are best placed to help tackle issues like climate change as they understand how to live sustainably and can share their insights with older generations and policy makers. I am motivated to participate in the COP27 Youth Forum because it provides me with an opportunity to learn about the latest climate policies and engage in discussions with experts. Additionally, attending will provide me with the knowledge and skills I need to develop a career in environmental management. Through participating in COP27, I will gain valuable insight into the challenges facing developing countries, and ways to address them. I hope to use my participation in the Youth Forum to raise awareness among young people and empower them to contribute towards building a better future. I also intend to create a network of young leaders by meeting fellow youth delegates and sharing ideas and experiences with each other.
394	Margaret	Mukami	University of Nairobi, Ololo farm Kenya		My name is Margaret Mukami.I was born on October 21st,1999,in Chuka, Tharaka Nithi county to a family of Mary wangari and John Njeru my beloved parents.I have a younger sibling, Emmanuel Karani.Both of my parents are small holder farmers. I attended Kiereni Primary School in Kenya for my primary education from kindergarten to standard eight where I attained my Kenya certificate of primary education.There I participated in girl scouts as a leader.I was on roll and received an academic award.After my primary education I attended my secondary education in Chuka girls high school,a Catholic school from 2015 to 2019 where I attained the Kenya certificate of secondary education.I was a member of girl scouts,drama and debate club.In my fourth year of study I received an award for the best student in Biology among five sub county high school students.Attending a Catholic school helped me grow academically,in my faith,and as a person, giving me high moral standards.I am currently a student at The University Of Nairobi where am pursuing my bachelor's degree in agriculture,soil science major. Though am a student,I work casually in Ololo Farm Kenya, regenerative agriculture farm.And this as given me first hand experience and understanding in other systems of farming that are more sustainable and aims at maintaining soil health while producing high nutritious food.	Am a soil scientist, an advocate on climate action,soil health and food security.I believe climate change is real and there is need for an holistic approach towards sustainable farming practices and waste management.I am currently working on waste management projects; vermicomposting, black soldier fly farming and also agroforestry.These projects are based on nature solutions addressing, climate change, food insecurity and crisis. I seek to empower young people from all parts of the world to appreciate the value of worms, insects and Trees as solutions to food crisis and climate change. The projects meet sustainability in the three pillars, social, ecological and economic. Economical in that,saves the cost of buying animal feeds and fertilizer since only resources being used are food waste and organic waste which are readily and locally available. Ecological in that these projects reduces dumping of food waste on land fills hence reducing emissions of methane and other green house gases hence mitigating climate change. Socially as their is room for co creation and sharing of knowledge. Being part of Cop27 will push me through this projects to achieve my objectives and help me in creating awareness to others for a better tomorrow in regards to food production,soil health and reversing climate change.
395	Michael	Ajeboriogbon	Nigeria Rural Electrification Agency	www.rea.gov.ng	I am a graduate from the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta where I obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Pure and applied Physics. My undergraduate thesis focused on Investigating Power Generation in Thermoelectric Generators using Solar Heat Energy as I have ever since been interested climate change and actions to further reduce dependency of the usage of fossil fuel for power generation. I am an experienced professional with extensive knowledge in power generation and renewables, highly skilled in data analysis with in-depth knowledge of data analytic tools, project management and executive support using my core knowledge of use of basic software in the design optimization of business operations of corporate and service establishments towards achieving maximum productivity. Aside the technical skills I possess, I have also by virtue of the positions I held in organizations I belonged to and volunteer for developed personal skills which includes been analytical, self-motivated and an innovative team player. My career goal is to gain roles and opportunity which allows me further develop my knowledge and skills while contributing to the development of the world around me and especially contribute to Sustainable Development Goal SDG 7 which is to Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.	My experience growing up in a resource-constrained community in Nigeria made me naturally frugal as I had to cut cost on everything I could, turned the lights and anything which consumes power off when not in use. Being the first son, I was tasked with finding a way through every dead end and that includes trying to fix every electrical and electronic component which had gone bad because the resources to get them replaced were not available. As I advanced in High school and took more science courses, I became fascinated with power generation while attending a series of lectures on the physics of light. This interest, combined with my practical strengths in connection of electronic components, led me to pursue my undergraduate education in Physics. My Bachelor thesis focused on Investigating Power Generation in Thermoelectric Generators (TEGs) using Solar Heat Energy as I have always been passionate about alternative power solutions to reduce climate change and take actions to further reduce dependency of the usage of fossil fuel for power generation. This passion propelled me to acquire relevant knowledge and scientific skills in the University, graduating top 10% of the 2020 graduating class with a Bachelor of Science in Physics. Beyond University, I have so far centered my career around renewable energy by working with companies and teams in installing solar powered systems of various capacities. I currently work with the Rural Electrification Agency in Nigeria (rea.gov.ng), a government agency tasked with catalyzing the off grid market to increase electricity access to rural and underserved communities where I use my experience in renewable energy and Data analysis skills to the development of the Agency hence contributing my quota to the Nigerian Rural Electrification Agency (REA) mission of providing access to reliable electric power supply for rural dwellers irrespective of where they live and what they do through Grid extension and MiniGrid Stand-alone systems. I am deeply interested in discussions addressing climate-forced displacement/migration and I would really love to be part of this youth-focused action to address the risks and harness the opportunities associated with climate mobility in Africa. I think I am a perfect candidate for the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum and I would be glad to contribute to the climate mobility discussions at COP27 in Egypt. I always thrive to better my immediate environment and this I do through research and development with a unique blend of academic excellence, leadership, and engagement in extracurricular and volunteering activities. I see myself in a few years working and designing top technologies in the area of renewable energy developing and designing innovative and cutting-edge zero-carbon energy.
396	Emmanuel	Tsara	University of Zimbabwe	www.uz.ac.zw	Emmanuel Tsara is a holder of a Master of Science Degree in Public Administration from the University of Zimbabwe with a Distinction pass, an Executive Certificate in Humanitarian Assistance and Programme Management, and a first-class BSc Honours degree in Administration from the University of Zimbabwe. He was the best student in the Department of Governance and Public Management with a first-class degree in 2019 at the undergraduate level and in 2021 at the Master's Level. He was awarded the University of Zimbabwe Book Prize for the class for 2018, 2019, and 2021. In 2022, Emmanuel joined the University of Zimbabwe as a junior lecturer in the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences, Department of Governance and Public Management. He is responsible for teaching and supervising both undergraduate and postgraduate students in the field of climate change policy, public policy and governance, development and sustainable development goals, climate financing, corporate governance, public procurement, research and innovation, local governance, and project planning. Throughout his career, he developed a passionate interest in research and policy analysis. In particular, he focuses on areas like climate taxation policy, climate change, adaptation and mitigation, public policy and governance, public finance and taxation, community resilience, and community development The primary purpose of his research interest is to provide policymakers across the globe with rigorous evidence on climate change, adaptation and mitigation in order to help them in planning climate-related interventions with baseline data to influence climate policy globally. Emmanuel is currently authoring two journal articles on climate change resilience in Africa titled: Taxation in the Rural Resilience Game: How Southern Africa can Foster Capacity to Withstand Climate Change Induced and Environmental Disasters through Tax. 'Financing Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation in Zimbabwe: Challenges and Way Forward Emmanuel aspires to become a seasoned professional in climate policy research. He aims to develop models to enhance policymakers with adequate knowledge to formulate contextually attuned policy prescriptions that address the global community's needs and aspirations in the 21st century.	There is less scholarly attention on the initiatives by Southern African countries to build resilience to climate change and environmental disasters specifically on the mechanisms to fight the climate change pandemic. Numerous studies have attempted to understand if there is any trade opportunity for any smart energy technologies for the purposes of mitigating the effects of climate change. From an academic point of view, l am driven by the desire to provide a seismic shift in climate change adaptation, mitigation and resilience literature as well as policy prescriptions through the development of empirical model that can be adopted to strengthen the response of African governments to climate change in Africa. Against the abovementioned background, becoming a delegate to the ACMI COP27 promises an opportunity to network, exchange ideas and my researches on climate change policy and mechanisms to strengthen the resilience of African communities to climate change. It further exposes myself to other experts and academics in the same field. This will help myself in bolstering my researches in climate policy researches. Most importantly, it will afford other climate activists and other organizations and opportunity to share their experiences and strategies on climate action and also to get to know the results from my researches in climate policy. Joining the COP27 will broaden and support researches around climate action and sustainable development. This is so because research has to be supported with evidence, sharing of ideas to gain an in-depth understanding of various initiatives that can be adopted to strengthen the response of African governments agonist climate change.

I'm currently a researcher of energy law in the framework of my thesis with Professor Carlos Manuel Alves of the Research Center of European and International Law of the Law School of Bordeaux. I'm also a Business Analyst at the multinational NGage Consulting based in Cairo and Dubai and a collaborator of the German international Law firm Korte Law, the first one established in Morocco. In September 2021, I accompanied a German parliamentarian (Ms. Sandra Weeser) of the FDP party in the German parliament. Previously, I worked as an assistant in the control department and later as an international project manager at the leading German chemical manufacturer Hüttenes-Albertus Chemische Werke GmbH in Düsseldorf and at its French subsidiary in Pont-Sainte Maxence. My experience within the German structures in Morocco allowed me to contribute to the development of relations with Germany. In this context, i'm also the author of various articles and member of the Circle of Experts (L'Economiste) but also of several international structures (ICM, IPS Alumni, Doing Business International). Finally, I am President-Founder of the CDMA (Center for Moroccan-German Comparative Law), the first of its kind and has also in collaboration with IRESEN produced a report on the legal regulations related to hydrogen and fuel cells (2020).	First, it would be a great honor for me to be able to represent my country as a twenty-six year old. For almost three years now, I have been working on the issue of energy law (energy efficiency, electricity and gas sector regulation, solar and wind power development, green hydrogen, waste management, fossil and nuclear energy). Secondly, it is to promote innovative legal ideas that could see the light of day such as a future African Environmental Code, the imperative of the European Union to conclude agreements with third countries for the recognition of traceability of green energies (e.g. "GO" guarantees) and to raise awareness on the issue of state aid between the EU and Africa, the development of the legal framework relating to interconnections etc. Indeed, the law is a major component of the energy transition often forgotten. Finally, it is the possibility to expand my network to find African members interested in the creation of the African association of energy law which should be born in March 2023.

She is a serial entrepreneur and sits on the Women in ICT board, is an Inspiring 50 2022 Winner, and a contributor to The Yuan AI tech community and platform. Janet is passionate about education, social impact, and driving women empowerment through gender inclusivity in tech. She advocates for education access and youth empowerment through her efforts with TAIR Impact Labs. Her ambitions are evident through her work at TAIR Labs where the goal is to educate and formally employ 59,000 African youth in 4IR education by 2025 by establishing 55 labs across the continent in the next 3 years. With an MBA in Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship from Shanghai Jiaotong, Miss Sawari is determined to drive research and innovation on the African continent for socio-economic good. Miss Sawari has played numerous roles in making 4IR/disruptive technologies accessible in Africa including the notes in her upcoming book on AI Business Strategies in Africa. Her experiences post 10 years living and working in East Asia/China weave into her work and influence her radical approach as she continuously finds ways to make AI innovation and education more accessible on the African continent.	There is a critical role that technology is going to play in ensuring we innovate with the climate in mind, and that role is going to be facilitated by young people. My interest was sparked to voice my recommendations to global leaders on this topic because this is my research lab's current focal point; The Future of Smart Mobility. I run an AI Research and Innovation Lab and for the past 6 months, we have been working on a number of sustainable mobility solutions, like an electric concept car & aircraft, a semi-autonomous taxi, and an application that will facilitate mobility as a solution. From these three projects alone there are a lot of foreseeable opportunities to start training youth to gain the relevant skills for the fourth industrial revolution, there is also the added threat to the climate. The question then becomes how we navigate and balance the dynamics of technology and the environment. This is what I am eager to share, based on my recent findings and industry expertise. Furthermore, this will be a great opportunity for me to step aside my tech focus and learn more about the deeper issues around the climate, to take my lab coat off and consider the human impact & implications at the center of mobility and climate change.

Abdel Fattah El-Sisi at the closing ceremony of the World Youth Forum 2022 for my impact in the area of renewable energy. At age 18 years I developed the Mobile Bio-Energy Project which supplied renewable energy to over 50,000 households and provided 50 jobs for the youth of Ghana from 2016 to 2017 (https://risingafrica.org/18-year-old-ghanaian-student-caleb-annobil-uses-trash-to-generate-electricity/). I am the founder of the Energy Efficiency Club. The club trains high school students in the area of renewable and sustainable energy (energyefficiencyclub.org). I want to leverage on my opportunity in Vodafone to positively influence and nurture a green society.	I have been able to train over 500 senior high school students to develop personal projects in the area of renewable and sustainable energy. I believe that with conscious strategic efforts, we can achieve zero carbon emissions. This can be achieved by influencing the culture of global citizens to adapt to eco-friendly change. We must influence the culture of multinational companies and organisations to ensure this is attained. I believe that attending this forum will help me contribute my views on how we can achieve zero carbon emissions. I perceive that energy usage in the future should not be based on how much we can afford, but rather, the quantity we need. This can help us reduce energy waste while supplying the increasing population with the saved energy. A concept of supplying energy to new people without creating a new energy plant.

424	Ballo	Ngomna	Local youth corner Cameroon	http://www.loyocameroon.org/	Ballo Ngomna is a youth activist from the Far north region of Cameroon where the evidence of climate mobility is real and has caused the movement of thousands of people in the region. He earned a Bachelor's degree in Geography with a minor in Environmental Sciences from the University of Buea in Cameroon and also a Master's degree in International Relations with a specialty in Environmental Management and Sustainable Development from the International Relations Institute of Cameroon(IRIC). Over the past five years, Ballo has advocated for youth participation and engagement, specifically in community development, climate change mitigation, and peace building, by supporting the strategic direction of community programs, reporting youth activities, and planning youth projects. Currently, the project's research and advocacy officer with the local youth corner is Cameroon. Previously , Ballo worked remotely as a Programme Assistant with the West Africa Civil Society Institute (WACSI) under the Next Generation Fellowship Program, where he supported the production, management, and dissemination of knowledge products to CSOs across West African countries. To add to this, Ballo has worked as a research assistant with the Nkafu Policy Institute in Cameroon, where he conducted desktop research on diverse thematics. Here, he was able to elaborate on activity reports, policy briefs, concept notes, and short articles. Through these experiences, he has developed strong problem-solving, organisational and interpersonal skills as he is able to lead, mobilise, engage, and communicate effectively on climate related issues. Ballo has volunteered with different organizations, particularly as project coordinator with the Africa Asia Youth Foundation, where he successfully led the organisation of the first edition of the Youth Volunteering for Community Development workshop, which trained and impacted 36 young Cameroonians on youth-led community development strategies. e also volunteered with Nascent Solutions International where he acted as a community field support worker, the United Council for Youth Empowerment where he worked as a project lead, and finally, he also volunteered during the African Cup of Nations CHAN 2021 and AFCON 2022 where he managed spectator and ICT services.

With a strong passion for global development work, Ballo is motivated by issues relating to youth inclusion, community-led development initiatives,peace and environmentally friendly actions.	As an ambitious youth activist, passionate about finding solutions to the challenges of climate change in Africa, I believe being an ACMI youth forum delegate for COP27 is a major platform to bring visibility to my existing work and innovative ideas around climate mitigating actions. The ACMI youth forum for COP27 will also serve as a learning and experience-sharing platform for me to gather new perspectives on climate change mitigating solutions from the work of other African youths whilst networking with them. I believe that serving as a youth forum delegate will provide me with an excellent opportunity to present my ideas on a novel strategy for dealing with climate mobility issues from a Cameroonian perspective. My experience relating to climate mobility is supported with my knowledge of climate migration in the Lake Chad Basin region, where I'm presently working on a research project for the Regional Stabilization Strategy Program with the United Nations Development Program. In addition, I work to raise awareness about the negative effects of climate change in the conflict-affected region of Cameroon's far north.

Programs such as the Youth Leadership Programme in partnership with the Arab Youth Center are a testament to the fact that youth must be among the decision makers.	Climate change is a traumatic reality for communities in regions of my country. Indeed, the localities far from the city are the most affected and the land and the breeding remain their first source of economic income and also their means of subsistence. I have been working this year mainly with young people from the 5 regions of my country, regions where vulnerable communities live and are left behind because of their geographical and social situation. It is essential today to raise the alarm about the climate priorities that we have and to find answers to these populations who are waiting for action from all of us, and from our leaders.

Climate mobility is a topic that cannot be overemphasized due to the tremendous impact it has on lives and continents. My Motivation began from my immediate community. I witnessed the effects on a local scale and seeing the pains and loss of lives and properties faced by people is a push factor for me to learn more about climate change. I am willing to help and support to the best of my capacity as It is a global concern and I am delighted that Africa is making conscious efforts to promote green energy. My experience working in the energy sector has broadened my perspective on the risks posed by climate change and its repercussions, particularly how they affect human lives. Yearly millions of people are displaced and affected by weather related disasters. I have seen firsthand during my university time in Lokoja, Kogi state how the flood displaced many of us, and the least equipped and more affected by this disaster are children and old people. Seeing and experiencing this in my local community has always motivated me to understand more on climate and help others around my vicinity, country, Africa and the world at large. The parents of my 17 year old adopted child were victims to climate mobility. Climate mobility is like a plague that has disrupted lives, livelihoods, cities and countries in all aspects. It has also brought about an increase in unplanned migration. I am an optimist and know that contributing my own quota will help my immediate community affected and also others in Africa and around the world. I believe change starts from a person making conscious effort towards the collective. I have seen and experienced this firsthand in my neighborhood which has inspired me and I am determined to learn more about climate change, fully ready to support physically and research on climate mobility and also create more awareness. Climate change affects everyone, it affects clean air, agriculture and the planet at large. Been a part of COP27 will be an honor for me. It will also show all around me that Africa has hope.

437	Ernest	Twum Barima	Adepafie Market Limited Company	adepacharcoalgh.com	Ernest TwumBarima is a promising young businessman under the ICE programme of the Master Card Foundation. He was born on May 29, 1990, to Mr. George Bosompem and Rev. Clara Aboagyewaa. He hails from Kyebi Apapam in the Abuakwa South District, Eastern Region - Ghana. Ernest graduated from Koforidua Technical University (KTU) and Valley View University, where he studied Purchasing and Supply and Information Technology, respectively.He conceived the business idea of briquettes while studying at Valley View University and decided to roll it on after many attempts to secure a job after graduation. Throughout his educational journey, he dreamt of establishing his own company, and it is not surprising that he has surmounted this hurdle. Currently based at Kyebi-Afiesa in the Eastern Region, the venture known as Adepafie Market Limited Company began when he procured and distributed 100 pieces of waste bins to encourage responsible disposal. As time went by, he noticed the volume of waste generated daily by coconut vendors in his area and decided to conduct studies into unconventional uses of the discarded coconut waste. After discovering other uses of the coconut waste, he gave empty sacks to the coconut sellers and asked them to offload the waste at his house at the end of every business day. Unperturbed by unsavoury comments from even family members, Ernest kept fine-tuning his idea until 2019, when he produced the first batch of charcoal briquettes to be used at home. The innovation caught the Community like wildfire, and they began requesting the product encouraging him to start producing for commercial use. In 2020, he joined the Master Card Foundation ICE program, which brought him into the limelight to improve upon his business cases. Master Card Foundation and Ghana Enterprise Agency (GEA) took him through an incubation programme that consisted of training in record keeping, branding and packaging, business communication, and managing an organization. The training has enhanced the record-keeping skills, branding and packaging, business communication, and management of Adepafie Market. He owes much of his success in the business ecosystem to the mentorship of the Master Card Foundation. The pieces of training were practical, and the samples of documents expected of the young company were made available. For example, Petty Cash Voucher, Debtors and Creditors Book, Receipt Books, Expenditure and Purchases Book, Sales Book, Stock Taking Book and Invoices Book were given out. These organisations’ teams have always been supportive of his business growth and sustainability. The team constantly visits him regularly for monitoring and mentorship. No visit passes without a suggestion on how to improve the business processes. Through hardwork, on June 30, 2022, he received funding from the YouStart programme of the Government of Ghana. He received an award for Youth Unique Business of The Year in the Eastern Region on July 2, 2022. Aside from Charcoal Briquettes, Adepafie Market has other products like Paper from agricultural waste, Fire Starter and Adepa Innovative Coalport, Activated charcoal, and Tissue Paper under its sleeves.	I have set up an environmentally friendly Charcoal briquettes company to reduce if not eliminate the cutting down of trees to burn charcoal. The business was established after the proprietor tried to help reduce agricultural and industrial waste by looking at the lots of agricultural waste we usually allow to rot or sometimes become an environmental issue because of improper disposal in the case of coconut husks and shells produced by coconut sellers. A small survey conducted in Kyebi, Asiakwa, Bunso, Osino, Osiem, Accra, and their environs reveals that coconut sellers are increasingly finding it difficult to dispose of their waste meanwhile this can be converted into useful products. Technically, charcoal briquettes are not actual charcoal but a combination of charcoal and other ingredients modeled into easy-to-light fuel. Following the rise in prices of charcoal in Ghana, we are offering affordable and environmentally friendly charcoal briquettes from our agricultural waste to help as a source of fuel for households in both rural and urban areas in the country. This forms the backdrop against which we have set up this small company in order to convert the coconut husks and other agricultural waste into briquettes which is the best substitute for normal charcoal and gas. This product burns two to three times longer than normal charcoal which means consumers can save money.

Stowelink organization is currently implementing a Co-benefit project-Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) youths and Climate Change in Nairobi County. This project aims at reducing the vulnerability of NCDs and climate change among the young people leaving in the developing countries. Through this project, Stowelink is expected to demonstrate the relationship between NCDs and climate change. Besides, we are expected to train 1500 youths to lead advocacy campaign against NCDs vulnerability and Climate change mobility. Stowelink’s recent work on Climate Change has increasingly piqued my interest in this space. I strongly believe that by becoming an African Climate Mobility Initiative Youth Forum delegate for COP2, I will be a great source of inspiration to Stowelink team who are already addressing the impact of climate variability in Kenya and beyond. Stowelink is also very keen in addressing climate change impact on livelihood. By becoming a delegate in this ACMI youth forum, I will gain deep insights around climate related mobility and mitigation interventions which are relevant to our program. Moreover, this forum will provide an excellent learning opportunity to enable me acquire adequate insights from influential policy maker and brilliant individuals. This will be a big plus for the successful implementation of Stowelink Climate change project. The training provided during this forum will enable me to empower our program team and youths to spearhead advocacy campaign on climate change Mitigation. The ACMI youth forum will also provide a good opportunity for networking and visibility for stowelink projects on Climate Change. The networks created during this forum will be fundamental in shaping up stowelink perspective in addressing Climate change variability in Africa and beyond. I will also leverage the international visibility created by this forum to showcase and build an investment case for climate adaptation project. Besides, the network created during this forum will be instrumental in expanding stowelink approaches, use of NCDs and Climate change online course and NCDs 365 app, to educate young people on NCDs and Climate change impact. This forum will empower me to become an active future decision makers and national policy adviser on issues related to climate change impacts. I will also utilize the acquired knowledge and skills to mentor youths in my community to become competent crusaders and advocates on Climate change agenda. This will be a good platform of learning and understanding the current development on climate change impact and modern mitigation intervention to eliminate or reduce its harmful effects.

On one hand you are working with communities to lease their lands to create more room for wildlife to move around freely and multiply while taking care of human-animal conflict, then on the other hand you are encouraging community members to plant trees to increase forest cover and improve weather patterns, contributing to the great wildebeast migration. Now I have moved on to policy and thought leadership and I am keen on influencing policies that are related to climate change in a myriad of ways. Being a delegate will enable me to get insights into how to positively affect climate change using my knowledge and experience.
440	Julienne	DENEMBAYE	Rise up movement		I hold a diploma in climate change biodiversity and sustainable agriculture also the Representative of the Rise up movement in Chad also Bio-Ambassador of the university action program for the fight against climate change.Passionate about nature and its protection, I feel the population on the importance of environmental protection and mitigation and adaptation strategies in the face of climate change. To better defend something, you must first know the value of the thing, which is why we organize conferences to inform those who want to join the cause of climate change so that they can know better.	I am active on social networks since I was trained by the association of African universities for sharing information on social networks so I use this knowledge to defend the climate. We work closely with various young climate activists and leaders around the world because in the face of the climate crisis, we must act locally, collectively and globally, there are not two planet Earth. Everyone must ask themselves the question whether the previous generation destroyed the climate system and this has an impact on the survival of all living species, while the current generation must in no way aggravate this situation but rather seek ways to fight against this phenomenon in order to leave a livable planet to the future generation if not what will the future generation think of the current one
441	NGIAH-SAH	KAH KYRIA	Open Dreams	https://www.open-dreams.org/	Kah Kyria is a young dynamic Cameroonian who prides herself as a farmer and has passion for contributing to food security in these difficult times of Covid-19 and climate change. She holds a master of philosophy in Irrigation and Drainage Engineering from the University for Development Studies, Tamale-Ghana sponsored by the World Bank in collaboration with the Government of Ghana. Since 2017 Kyria enjoys spending time interacting with farmers from rural communities and taking part in their activities where she strongly advocates for precision farming, female education, peace talks especially in the North West Region of Cameroon which is currently affected by the crises. She has visited over 10 communities in both Cameroon and Ghana, where she had exchanges during the field visits and had the opportunity to share techniques on how to grow their nutritious vegetable in a more profitable way. Specifically, in collaboration with the META Foundation which has as goal to enhance food security and economic development, she had interactions with 6 communities in the Bongo district of the Upper East Region of Ghana. She has coordinated trainings on Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), how to efficiently apply fertilizers, ways to conserve moisture during dry season production, use of climate-smart varieties and also plastic waste recycling were carried out. Her experiences include various field works and collaborations at different corporations such as; Kukobila Nasia Farms in Ghana, Upper Nun Valley Development Authority (UNVDA), Ndop Cameroon Development Corporation (CDC) Tiko rubber and banana plantation. She was recently part of the Goodwill Fellowship Mini-Grand Project Execution; Tree Planting and Sensitization for Environmental Sustainability, in collaboration with Youth Inspiration, Game Changers and Open Dreams. The tree planting activity was carried out at the Etoug-Ebe Catholic Church in Yaounde, Cameroon. This activity impacted over 70 youths. Kyria is actively involved in working with grassroots women to preserve indigenous plants while maximizing the limited resources available. She is currently working with women in the West Region of Cameroon to produce vegetables using climate-smart varieties. She has a mastery of data collection, data analysis and working in remote areas where she usually come head-on with farmers thereby connecting and relating to their perspective easily. Besides her academic qualifications, are her interpersonal skills which include dedication to service, good team spirit, time consciousness, willingness to accept responsibility and work efficiently.

Kyria is a very responsible individual who loves learning new things and seeking different experiences. With all these acquired skills, she applies them in attempting to solve the different problems plaguing her environment.	As a female advocate for farming and education I strongly believe being chosen as an Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum-COP27 Delegate will give me the platform needed to share strategies like deficit irrigation, use of climate-smart varieties, seed propagation and resource (soil, water and nutrient) management to be used for mitigating climate change effects on our food systems. This will lead to the availability of crops all year round, thereby raising livelihoods of affected communities. Also, educating women in agriculture by teaching smart farming technologies like aeroponics and hydroponics will allow them engage in these economic activities thus, strengthening their adaptability to climate shocks. In addition, flexible communities can be augmented by women-centered organizations through the sustenance of indigenous plants, cultivating of grafted fruit trees that will raise capital from sales, consequently improved living standards. Awareness on social media platforms, mobile banking and agricultural applications will ensure economic resilience through the effective marketing of their produce. Education is pivotal to addressing climate change effects. Women and girls experience the greatest impacts of climate change because they are at the forefront of the environment. The relationship between women and climate change is inevitable. Empowering girls and women will unlock their leadership potentials for effective climate action by finding sustainable solutions to climate change related problems and so help to build more sustainable communities, thereby contributing in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As a delegate I will be able to Create awareness on social media platforms and sensitize women on skills needed to become more resilient to the impacts of climate change. Women and girls need skills that will aid them in investing, and promoting their participation in bringing forth measures to counter the effects of climate change. Critical thinking, and problem solving are skills possible through STEM education; with which African girls can develop potentials of redefining and transforming their economic systems through climate-smart technologies, renewable and clean energy sources. Communication, good team spirit and public speaking skills are also required to facilitate the mitigation and adaptation to climate change effects. These skills can boost climate strategies in fostering leadership in pro-environmental decision-making. Building long lasting relationships with like-minded professionals is also part of my motivation.

Amna also trains youth people from civil society on the climate crisis, runs environmental education workshops for students. I also organize demonstrations, clean-up and reforestation campaigns.	I am so excited to apply as an ACMI Youth Forum Delegate for COP27 for 4 reasons: 1- I am a woman, a young, African, climate activist and manager of sustainable development projects whose climate approach must be transversal in all development projects, this chance will allow me an opportunity to tap into the vast expertise, creativity, and enthusiasm of other young people in order to build and execute climate solutions that will benefit my country and Africa as a whole. 2- I am an active community advocate, I am the Environmental Rights Speaker at the United Nations Human Rights Council and I advise on climate justice, climate security, climate finance, climate and human rights. man...and this chance will allow me to advocate these recommadations to missions, experts and decision makers in order to execute sustainable climate solutions that will benefit my country and Africa as a whole. 3- I would therefore like to represent Tunisia at COP27 since the country is now experiencing the effects of the climate crisis: the increase in temperatures, the drop in precipitation, the increase in sea level, the danger of coastal erosion (small islands like the Kerkennah archipelago), scarcity of water resources, water salinity, drought, food insecurity (Tunisian cereal production, in 2020, fell by a third compared to 2019), the degradation of the ecosystems of seascapes and land and of the quality of seawater and freshwater, extreme climatic phenomena (Nabeul flood 2018), the increase in the health risks of negative effects on economic activities (the vulnerability of coal fishing in the Kerkennah islands or clam fishing in the south) and social activities (37,000 jobs threatened in the agricultural sector), personally I experienced the flood in 2018 from Nabeul , until today the rains are a nightmare for the local population in Nabeul and we put sandbags in front of our doors. 4- I care a lot about energy Renewables based on recycling waste and applying a circular economy system, and reducing carbon emissions from fossil fuels, From my advocacy and experience, I believe I am the right fit to be a delegate and take part on discussions on climate adaptation and resilience, climate finance, youth involvement in climate change, renewable energy, carbon markets and carbon sequestration. I yearn to deepen my knowledge and experience in climate change and given the opportunity through this platform my voice can be heard, I can be empowered and educated to continue advocating for climate change.

As a registered peer educator with institute i organised education programs solely on climate change where i taught people what it is how it impacts our livelihoods and what best ways we can mitigate it. COP27 provides someone like me who is passionate about learning and also teaching about environmental factors which affect us such as Climate change to share my ideas with relevant personal and to hear what other people are saying elsewhere. It will give me a chance to enhance my knowledge and open my eyes to new things. I recently engaged with Witronia africa which uses environmentaly friendly and non hazardous ( CDC bio safety level 1), digest residual fats, grease and oils, controls and reduces BOD, COD, TSS, TDS, H2S and other waster water parameters. Complete oxidation of inorganic matter such as nitrites and sulphides. Cleans entire system preventing pipe burst, oxygenates the water and introduce safe aerobic bacteria into system, Avail more land for development, system needs less land , odour elimination - digest odour molecules this is nano system, Compliance with local and international standards with environmental protection authorities, creation of a good habitat for our people, ease of strain on health budgets, cascading benefits in other sectors of the economy ,I.e tourism, agriculture, education etc the list goes on. Therefore COP27 will be my chance to show case some of my ideas.

447	Shrouk	Abd El-Gwad	Mediterranean initiative for climate	It's not an organisation it was an initiative supported by Ministry of youth and sports, Ministry of environment, IOM, Ocean networking and Youth 4 climate organisation	My name is Shrouk Abd El-Gwad. I'm a senior at the University of Alexandria at Alexandria city where I'm majoring in political science. Since I was in high school I had a big interest in the field of climate change and spread my knowledge in it by reading and participant in panel discussions, till I got the chance to be a participant at Mediterranean initiative for climate and got 50 hours training in the field of climate change, Environmental peace, Adaptation and mitigation mechanisms, climate mobility and other aspects of this topic. The training duration was 5 days in New Alamin City in Egypt with foreigners from Spain, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Palestine and Lebanon.I learned about the inequalities affecting indigenous communities, dealt with all those cultures. Inspired by this international experience, I started to search for new opportunities that can help me to be an effective Youth member in the society. I aspires to pursue a career in international development and write policy papers for a government agency. When I'm not busy reading about current position of climate change and mobility, I enjoy drawing and workingout.	I am currently studying Bachelor’s Degree in political science at Alexandria University. I have decided to apply because I'm sure it would strongly enrich my future studies and help me in my prospective career. Moreover I consider this participation as a great opportunity to wide my acknowledge of climate changes and to share my experience in climate mobility and other aspects of climate change challenges. I was a participant at Mediterranean initiative for climate and contained more than 10 workshops, sessions, and panel discussion on "climate change - Environmental peace - Environmental challenges in the Mediterranean and Africa - Adaptation and mitigation mechanisms and policies for climate change - climate and migration- climate mobility - the national climate change strategy 2050" in addition to that I'm always reading on those fields.The climate crisis has sparked a crisis of mobility: Around the world, in 2019 alone, some 23.9 million people were involuntarily displaced by weather-related disasters. That dwarfs the 8.5 million people displaced by the factors we so often associate with migration and displacement: conflict and violence.While children and young people are least responsible for climate change, they are among the most vulnerable to its effects. Many of them are compelled to move or are forcibly displaced every year. “the specific vulnerabilities of migrant children and young migrants in the context of climate change remain underexplored” according to IOM.Last but not least, I am very curious about different approaches to the climate change. During my prior studies I have found out, that I would like to specialize in the climate change policy and this opportunity will help me to achieve it and make the path much easier for me. I'm applying because I have my concerns about the imminent threat climate change poses to Africa, to our people and the future of our children. An overwhelming number of scientists agree, and signs abound that climate change is occurring much faster than was initially predicted. We have only a few critical years before the changes become irreversible.

The climate crisis that the world is experiencing leaves us with sequelae at all levels of social layer. Some not able to cope with other populations are forced to perish in climatic disasters and this leads to the mass migration of populations to more stable areas. My commitment to the climate has led me to raise awareness through social networks on current situations of migration of populations such as Bangladesh and Pakistan which registers more than 600,000 women climate migrants. My commitment to children leads me to raise awareness among young athletes through the sports and community project "Copa Talento Nawa". my role was to raise awareness among young people about environmental education and the dangers of illegal immigration.

Enthusiastic to partake in the critical debates to take place next November	Our planet is suffering from an undeniable Climate crisis and despite our best efforts, sustainable energy solutions still have a lot of ground to cover if it were ever to competitively challenge, or even replace, conventional fossil fuel energy solutions. The energy crisis is only going to surge in the upcoming years due to the increasing energy demand all over the globe, the exponential population growth, and the gradual, but inevitable, need to withdraw our focus from the conventional energy sources. This crisis calls for international action with drastic measures in mind if we were to ever approach our climate change goals.We are not utilizing the available methods to their fullest extent, and are still hesitant to step up their contribution and invest in their infrastructure. I believe i can add to this discussion, as i have the technical engineering background, and the diplomatic and political background from the recent cop27 simulation model and mock conference i participated in

Through my involvement in this distinguished program, which is a part of the university's commitment to the United Nations Academic Impact Initiative, I served as a co-founder of the International Clean Up the Nile Day initiative. The Int'l Clean-Up the Nile Day offers an unparalleled opportunity to showcase 11 states' people and stakeholders' ability of service and development as well as to demonstrate to the world the remarkable power of the Nile that is committed to our life. Moreover, I presented a proposal that won the support of my colleagues. This proposal is about conducting a child-friendly digital library for human rights to provide child-friendly texts of international agreements dealing with children that states have ratified to provide the best means of livelihood and development for children. Hence, I have reformulated many of these international agreements with a child-friendly approach. Also, I am running an initiative named Unite for Climate. This initiative aims to offer a child-friendly booklet that explores all updated information on climate change and climate mobility. This action will highlight the concern that those with the most vulnerabilities are likely to bear the main burden, and the most vulnerable are our children. This booklet also deals with the obligations undertaken by international organizations and states to maintain our planet's temperature. Therefore, Attending COP27 as a delegate will allow me to closely observe the commitments of the international organizations and states' representatives, investigate the recommendations about climate mobility and deliver them to children in the mentioned child-friendly booklet.

I feel that COP 27 is an opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas for long lasting solutions to mitigate the drought. As a young man from the rural areas of Kenya and coming from a marginalized community I strongly feel that this opportunity will be an eye-opener for me and the people from my community. It's a chance for me to learn and interact with the rest of Africa and be able to learn a thing or two to help improve my community.

This work consisted of studying what are drivers for southern people mobility. Currently, climate mobility is a real challenge for Madagascar local government as it produces its own effect. People from the southern part of Madagascar migrate towards northern part and build campement near protected areas. They start to cut trees and make charcoals also as clear cutting for corn crop. This in turn create biodiversity loss and push the climate change impact to the extreme. As numerous young people in my region (and my country), I am mostly concerned by this challenge. I want to take a further step to catalyse the integration of human rights and nature based solution and support local government to design meaningful strategies. Becoming an ACMI Youth Forum delegate will help to represent Madagascar, its challenges and opportunities, in the international level. Therefore, I can advocate for climate mobility challenge and how to design an effective strategy for building resilience. I also put a crucial place for learning from and sharing to other countries experience (e.g: how they deal with climate change challenge, how is climate mobility in their country and how initiatives addressed this issue...). Being a delegate is a pathway to build gradually flexible but stronger knowledge to assist the local government in putting in place a sustainable solutions regarding to climate mobility challenges.

Am also a hair dresser by passion	M’y motivation for applying for this forum is to have an in-depth understanding of climate mobility in Africa and how it can be targeted. I have seen people most especially women and children migrate into our country and even other countries as a result of climate change . And for this reason , many of these women and girls turn to face issues of violence , exploitation , force labor and trafficking. Some of these young girls turn to drop out of school and even face poverty ( most especially does abundant by their parents in their country of origin as a result of climate change) . There is also a problem of poor health facilities and low services faced by people moving from country to country as a result of climate change. All of the above effects has to mostly do with women and girls, as I rightly said, am so passionate above issues affecting women and adolescents girls in our communities and the world atlarge So I think this forum will help me get to really understand these issues , meet people and share experiences about climate mobility and mostly gained skills on how to tackle and advocate for the affected persons in African countries as a result of climate mobility

I’m serving currently as the youth constituency of the UNFCCC (YOUNGO) global coordination team 2022 “Policy team”. Our main work is to coordinate the development of the official global youth statement which will represent the youth demands in next COP27 in the different climate related themes. I’m a climate ambassador at the GYNC, connect4climate and the world bank 2022. My recent participations include Bonn climate change conference SB56 2022 and Coordinating Sudan local conference of youth LCOY.	I’m the African representative in the policy team of youth constituency of the UNFCCC who’s coordinating the creation of the Global Youth Statement “Declaration on climate justice”, Which's the official climate policy document that will represent the youth demands in the climate related themes during COP27 Being the African person in the team give me more sense of responsibility to work hard on this and to push the youth demands as this is an African COP and it’s our chance to reflect the region issues, and this what I’m focusing on to recruit and include as much as African voices in the statement, I was coordinating the volunteers recruitment and a great percentage was given to African people. Attending COP27 is very vital for me to promote and to lobby for this statement to ensure our efforts aren’t wasted and to ensure your voices are heard. Also as I’m having a party badge as a young Sudanese female, I can talk and access negotiations to lobby and promote the global youth statement without restrictions of the observer status, Nevertheless I don’t have the ability to attend COP27 due to financial difficulties that I wish this opportunity would solve and facilitate my participation that I see crucial. All this beside my desire to continue the efforts I was putting in the climate movement since 2019 in the global scale, As I participated in the 56th subsidiary bodies meeting last June and I was following number of negotiations tracks it’s important for me to continue these efforts and to make sure the African youth voice is heard. I promise for my meaningful participation and to reward the African region with impact. I’m seeking accommodations fund as I can handle coming to Egypt from Sudan in a sustainable way.

I am a firm believer that regardless of our culture, religion and social status, we are all equally affected by the adverse impacts of environmental degradation and climate change and hence must equally take responsibility to sustain our green and blue natural environment. Among my various achievements is the joy and happiness that I notice on the smiling faces of the young people when I interact with them on the topics of environmental conservation and how each one of us can attain their needs without unnecessarily causing havoc for themselves and others.

By attending the ACMI Youth Forum, I seek to expand my knowledge base and skills in widening the conversation on climate change, how best to draw people's attention towards climate change and sustain their attention to this issue. The interactions, conversations, involvements and engagements during the forum will expose me to a medley of effective ways to keep the conversation about environmental conservation and sustainable energy alive and burning. I want to learn the effective mechanisms, strategies, success stories, and testimonies on youth involvement in fronting climate change and environmental conservation as a number one priority or as a trending social media hashtag, and how we can apply these strategies within the African context.

476	Jeremiah	Thoronka		https://www.weforum.org/videos/prize-winning-invention-harnesses-renewable-energy-from-busy-roads	Growing up in a displacement camp during the civil war, firewood and charcoal was the only lighting and cooking energy sources available. Photochemical smog, a harmful consequence of burning coal, caused air pollution and respiratory problems among my peers. Although access to affordable energy has been widely recognized as a significant factor for economic and social development, its provision was a luxury only the rich could afford. Finding myself in this situation turned me into an anomaly: a young man from a community where energy is a luxury turned into an enthusiast and ambitious renewable energy and climate change advocate. Today, I am an Innovator, Entrepreneur, and Scholar with intimate knowledge of energy, environment, sustainability, and development. In 2021, I was laureate of the inaugural Global Student Prize, listed among the 100 Young African Conservation Leaders, 100 most influential Africans 2021, and was awarded the Commonwealth Youth Awards for Excellence in Development Work - Africa; cited for demonstrating exemplary academic excellence and innovating clean energy systems, promoting locally sustainable solutions, and youth involvement in energy, climate change, and policy. I hold an MSc degree in Sustainability, Energy, and Development from Durham University as a Commonwealth Shared Scholar.	The world is at a crossroads; post-Sierra Leone civil war, we were involuntarily displaced by climate change, and today, according to UNICEF, over 23 million people around the world are involuntarily displaced as a result of climate change. We need to have conversations on how we can make everyone, regardless of where they find themselves to be safe from such. I am applying for this role to champion and foster such conversations. There is so much we can do during COP27 for the world to listen, and considering I was involuntarily displaced, I am in a better position to communicate those plights and challenges with world leaders and how best they can adopt meaningful sustainable solutions toward solving this problem.

STATEMENT OF MOTIVATION I write to express my interest in the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum - COP27 Delegate. The recurrent observation of the state of our environment and my delightful passion and love for finding solutions to environmental and climate problems motivate me to want to broaden my knowledge in climate change and biodiversity conservation. A significant grassroots project started when I served as the International Forestry Students’ Association president in my local chapter (IFSA-FUTA LC), I mobilized over 500 students to dialogues locally and internationally in Africa on biodiversity conservation and advocacy projects. I am currently the convener of the Nigerian Forestry and Graduates Students Roundtable, a monthly virtual conference aimed at helping forestry and wildlife students across Nigeria and Africa and I have reach out to over 1000 students monthly on biodiversity and Forestry Education till date. The need and zeal to sustain and act on biodiversity conservation and environmental protection have presented to me an ambition to solving biodiversity conservation and environmental-related problem through an entrepreneurial act that involved the establishing a registered Non-Governmental Organization named EdenWorld Conservation Initiative. The organization is into biodiversity conservation projects, forestry education, climate change advocacy, tree planting and building a sustainable environment through advocacy and project implementation. Recently, the Society of American Foresters for the 2021 Gregory Awards recognized my works on biodiversity conservation as 1 of the Top 10 of 115 applicants from 22 countries, based on my past my previous performance, desire, and contribution to my home country’s biodiversity conservation education and projects, and also for demonstrating future leadership in conservation projects. I was recently selected for the Charles R. Wall fellowship program by the African Wildlife Foundation and the United Nations Environment program, where I was had the opportunity develop policy briefs, multilateral negotiations, environmental law, and advocacy. My future goal is to become a successful conservationist and environmentalist and continue to advance the works I have started in my NGO in Africa through advocacy, support in policy-making, bringing new ideas that will help in offering new solutions to the declined conservation state and sector in Africa. During this conference, I will support the works of the Global Centre for Climate Mobility and use my broadcasting and social media management to conduct interview and other engagement that will promote the works of the Global Centre for Climate Mobility. After this conference I will write a comprehensive report that will be published on my engagement with the Global Centre for Climate Mobility at COP27. An opportunity afforded by the Global Centre for Climate Mobility is a rare one to be part of COP27 with other with seasoned specialists in the field of environment and it will enhance my career as a budding climate activist and conservationist in the natural resource sector and also to contribute to climate mobility. I would greatly appreciate it if I could be considered for this opportunity as I look forward to advancing my new career through this program. Sincerely,

485	Nana Kusi	Appiah	Youth Climate Council Ghana		I am a young agriculturist from the University of Ghana who has the passion to help the less privileged in the country and the world at large. I currently work at Farmerline Limited as a Field Enumerator and Surveyor, where we get to know the problems of farmers living across all the 16 regions in Ghana. I have also worked with the Ministry Of Food And Agriculture for sometime and these experiences have widen my scope a lot. My dream to help people narrowed down to the agricultural sector when I pursued my Bachelor’s Degree in Agriculture. The desire to make a change in agriculture grew higher, and that is where i was able to setup a fertilizer firm we help the less privileged farmers in rural areas, get access to fertilizer at ease. This firm is currently running as a Nonprofit Organization in my country Ghana. My team has plans to extend to other African countries and the world at large.	On February 2018, I had the opportunity to go on a field trip to a local community at Ada in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. Before this trip, I had less knowledge on the dangers of climate change, even though I use to read a lot on them till I witnessed one scenario myself. This community I witnessed had a lagoon of over 35 ft, dried up totally in just ten years. The sea has broken its boundaries and has flooded and swallowed almost one-tenth of the land size in the community. This particular event took place not more than 15 years. That ignited my desire to be an activist against Climate Change and its related activities. I participated in this year’s ACW 2022, Libreville-Gabon virtually, and I want to use the opportunity of being an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 to widen my scope on Climate Action. The world is at stake due to the actions of some people. It is time we bring all those actions to a halt, to save the globe for the next generation and I want to be part of this history. Thank you.

I look forward to work with individual or organizations who has similar passion and share same value with me	My passion for climate education began in high school, where I became involved in an annual Youth Climate Summit Program that convenes youth to engage them in climate education and climate action planning. It was there that I first became passionate about climate change. I listened to a renowned climate scientist speak about the impacts of climate change in the region that I lived, and I realized for the first time that this was not a far-off issue. I finally recognized that climate change was real, that it is happening now, and that it is a phenomenon that will affect me. Because of this experience, I believe that making climate change relevant to each individual on a personal level is ultimately the most effective way to communicate the science to everyone Ever since then I have jumped on every opportunity available to create awareness on climate change and to offer viable solutions to climatic change. For example,I have been a member of Global citizen for more than two years where I constantly render my voice on every aspect of climate change. Recently I participated in the EKOclimation in Lagos Nigeria, and I obtained a certificate as an African Climate Ambassador after months of training. I will like to participate with other like-minded individual from Africa, gain more knowledge and offer solutions to climate change in Africa

Since I was a young i have a zeal and dream of loving nature, that's the number reason I found myself studying Geography as a my course. Becauseat least I'll find a little knowledge related to climate and environment. However, since am a new into climate Activist, so my achievement are not many but at least I have started a little bit so far. Just recently I lead a foundation of some young people from 18 above in my community were we planted a Neam trees of about 25-30 in one village in my local community. At least this is something new and a welcome development in my community, because before then there's nothing like that. And the area is facing the effect of climate change and Environmental degradation due to their negligence on constant deforestation and over grazing. Furthermore, I joined a movement on Advocacy and Mobilisation to some rural community in my hometown on the impact of climate change and Environmental challenges, and the contribution of anthropogenic activities to it. At least i visited over 30 communities were I meet with different stakeholders and traditional district heads.	My motivation for applying to become an ACMI youth Forum delegate for COP27 are many but let me briefly explain some of them. As well all know Climate Change is the number issues that affecting the world globally. The climate Crisis is urgent and no country can solve the issues of climate change alone. Bold action to tackle climate change is more necessary than ever. The record-breaking heat, floods, storms, droughts and wildfires devastating communities around the world underscore the grave risks we already faced. All countries are vulnerable to the effect of climate change. Diplomacy, innovation and support are vital to meeting the climate Challenge. It will take coorperation and collaboration across the globe and across disciplines. The climate Challenge required Mobilising a whole of society approach that enlist states, cities, businesses large and small, Civil society groups, young Leaders and others to create a clean energy economy that benefits all. As a Geography and Environmental Student, I have a little experience and knowledge related to climate mobility. By its definition climate mobility are network of researchers, Educators and law and policy Practitioners across the social, physical and health sciences with a focus on "climate mobility". This term refers to voluntary and force migration that are influence by climate variability and change, including migration as adaptation, internal displacement, refugees flows, manage retreat and planned relocation. My concern here is to contribute my little knowledge and experience into this issues, and that's what motivate me to engage into this movement.

Favorite games (chess) Blood type (AB-)	My motivation is to attend the ACMI Forum. I want to be useful to the planet on which I grew up. And to be able to meet different cultures. And listen to the experiences of different nationalities and their opinion on the cause of climate change. From my personal point of view climate has an impact on the life aspects of individuals. And the mood of the people in general. Due to the use of environmentally unfriendly materials may cause long-term damage. I think the best solution to climate change is to maintain the perfect environment. It is to make society aware of the harms of not preserving the environment and that every action has a reaction. And it affects their mood and mental health. From my point of view in order to affect an entire society. You have to prove with your words how harmful climate change is by showing live images of negative damage and then showing them ways to overcome it. As a person who has gone through a different experience in a changing climate. I think the progress or decline of a society It could be due to climate change. or It may be a major factor.

I currently serve as the Co-Team Leader at Nirruption, a company I founded in 2019. I grew up as a Nigerian who was just playful in his approach to life. I moved to Spain at the age of 8 but went back to Nigeria when I was 12. By this point I was able to learn the Spanish language and also experience a bit of another side of the world. When I was done with secondary school in 2017, I decided to take a gap year and then study at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona where I ended up as the Valedictorian and had one of the top 8 Thesis which I defended before a panel. After this, I worked briefly in Puerta de Africa as the Director General for Internationalization and also started my company, Nirruption. Early this year, I resigned from Puerta de Africa. I currently live in Madrid, Spain and work remotely with my Co-Team Leader and a group of volunteers to make the vision of Nirruption: “to be a youth generational system that makes present Nigerian and African youths Loving, Excellent and Patriotic nation builders who will secure the future for the sake of the next generations”, a reality.	By 2050, 67% of the Nigerian population will be below 35 years old. By that same year, there would be around 402 million Nigerians and about 2,4 billion people in Africa. During that same period, about 86 million Africans will be migrating internally due to climate change. My interest in the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) is due to the fact that Africans need to be proactive in how we start to deal with the effects of climate change. Essentially, we need to be aware that we are responsible for our future even though we did not create the consequence of climate change we will suffer. We need to start thinking of how to protect the lives of the millions of children yet to come because everyday delayed is another day where more people will suffer in the future. This is the reasoning behind what we do at Nirruption. We are trying to ensure the rights of the future generations is secured so that they too will have a home which they are proud of and is devoid to constant suffering.

She recently launched a mentorship program to train students in the area of engineering and renewable energy, help them to get their first job by connecting them with companies, and provide CV elaboration guidance and interview preparation.	I was delighted to discover that Africa Climate Mobility is given the opportunity for youth to participate in Cop 27 as a delegate. My passion for engineering has been since I was a child, and during my undergraduate studies I came across renewable energy and it become the core of my interests. I am a Renewable Energy Project Manager and Co-founder of an ONG that promote climate change. I wish to seize this opportunity and deepen my knowledge about the ACMI, as well as engage the global actors of this worldwide community. From United Sustainable Goals, I advocate for quality education, gender equality and clean and affordable energy. As part of my social responsibility, I created a project called Tchossi Academic to bridge access to academic materials and help students to strive for their academic curriculum through training and mentorship. My interest in ACMI Youth Delegate does not only lies in Cop 27 participation but also collaborate with this initiative at all levels (during and after COP). I envision growing ACMI in central Africa, mobilising other youth leaders from my community and contributing with data collection through Tchossi. In addition to that, such participation will not only allow me to learn from top-level leaders but also give me an opportunity to share the untapped natural resources that my country has, and perhaps explore future collaborations and partnerships with worldwide entities. Becoming an ACMI delegate will reinforce my commitment to creating sustainable projects for those without access to electricity, and help my country to develop a better education system by promoting scientific investigation, knowledge sharing and impact on underprivileged communities. My role as renewable energy project manager and board member of the Angolan Association of Renewable Energy (ASAER) allows me to influence other females to pursue STEM and break the stereotypes of women in a field mainly dominated by men. It would be overwhelming to showcase my experience on youth day, 10th November. I bring with me a vast portfolio of mobilising the community and influencing leaders to adhere to more sustainable practices. Through EcoAngola, my team and I mobilise communities to clean the beaches, we organize lives related to our campaigns, Pollution, waste and recycling, renewable energies, biodiversity and conservation, sustainability, namely and write informative articles. Moreover, at ASAER I contribute to the energy transition process in Angola by bridging the business between government and private entities and organising conferences and roundtables. Above all that, as a sustainable and youth empowerment enthusiast, I believe to be the right candidate for Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum Delegate for COP 27. All my experience, skills and initiatives not only in the field of Green Energy but also in influencing and impacting communities, are a key background to fulfilling the profile of ACMI Youth delegate.

With childhood interest in medicine but Computer Science took over my mind in my teenage years. I am now interested in programming and how software impact human relationship with natural processes. I hold a Mathematics degree from Federal University Lokoja were I was the only Federal Government Scholar for my session of about 2,523 students. I run a company, Axiomata Technologies Limited that has won about 8 pitching contest on solutions ranging from climate change to financial technology. My lifelong interest will be research and teaching Computer Science and simulation of climate change. I plan to volunteer for about 3 climate change organizations before 2025. My philosophy in life is : if it ought to be, then it is up to me.	I live in the Northern part of Nigeria and the effect of climate change is unfolding at an amazing rate like textbook examples. I have volunteered in climate change management organizations were I help in creation of software from mathematical models for simulations. I am motivated to become ACMI Youth forum delegate because I want to to share my little perspective and learn more about securing the future threaten by climate change. I learnt about how some organizations are using various insurance products to tackle climate sensitive agricultural processes. I have presented parametric insurance through pitching contest and won first position in the whole of Northern Nigeria. In advancing the software and theoretical underpinnings of this fledgling concept, I seek to understand what countries are doing in having a working policy for the realization of parametric insurance. I am a volunteer in an institute that seek to measure impact of open source software in management of climate change effect. I will also be helping about 4 media outlets in creation of visualization and infographic tools in explaining climate change to the public. I am motivated to learn about how to best use my future roles in advancing the reduction of climate change even if extends to advocacy and activism. There is no better place to learn and obtain valid data about work in progress than this conference. This is my motivation.

In Business and Project Management graduate from The Copperbelt University of 2021 with extensive knowledge in project management, online marketing and Economic Development; seeking for an opportunity to enter the corporate space. I’m passionate about the transformation and enhancement of technological advances with respect to project management in Zambia. Iam also interested in innovation as such I have been a part of JETS Activities as early as grade 7 upto grade 12; I participated in JETS all these years and acquired some certificates while doing so. Because Im so passionate about this organization in highschool I created a Zambia JETS Club which has around 2500 followers: through this platform I have helped and motivated a number of students to be involved in STEM activities. In grade 12, I was selected JETS president at my school. This is a wonderful opportunity for me to get to represent my district and bring the knowledge I’ll acquire on agriculture and mining activities as far as climate change goes.	I would like to represent Luanshya a district rich in agricultural and mine activities which I feel affects and is affected by climate change at a large scale so I would like to be a part of this important function to learn more about climate change and share my knowledge on its impact here in Luanshya n agriculture and mining activities. I’m very interested and I’m trying to learn more and more about it. It’s such a prevalent issue I’m trying to adapt my lifestyle to be more eco-friendly and do my bit to reduce climate change. I ave seen my parents be affected by climate change though these past years, s they are farmers it is a growing challenge that I would help curb out of my society by any means. The impacts of climate change on different sectors of society are interrelated. Drought can harm food production and human health: something i have seen happen to people close to me. Flooding can lead to disease spread and damages to ecosystems and infrastructure. Human health issues can increase mortality, impact food availability, and limit worker productivity. All of these makes me dearly passionate about this event and I would like to represent my community and learn or rather bring some solutions to problems in our community regarding climate change.

GIMAC advocates for gender equality across the thematic areas of Climate Change, Governance, Peace and Security, Human Rights, Health, Education, and Economic empowerment.	Climate change has continued to affect the lives of young people in my country. From their education, to their economic empowerment and health. This is especially true for young people from Nothern Kenya, they are forced to flee to other parts of the country as a result of climatic impacts. This leaves this communities underesourced and under developed. Its therefore important that young peoples voices and recommendationd are brought to the table during forums such as COP27.

There's no doubt that quick measures must be out in place to prevent farther climate changes. Good climate means good Agriculture in areas where there no irrigation ( mostly African nations) hence no starvation. I don't want to sit back and watch as our people continue to face harsh consequences of climate change. I want to be part of a movement that seeks to find answers to this problem

515	Linda	Makau	CYNESA	http://www.cynesa.org/	I am Linda Makau, a climate change campaigner and humanitarian, 32 years old. In the year 2020, I joined Laudato Si Movement as the Communications Coordinator. Skill and passion were my guiding assets. There was need to create awareness about the Triple crisis we are facing and mostly loss of biodiversity in Africa and with the Communications coordination, I was able to influence the public regionally on environmental protection. I managed campaigns which also bore fruit. One of my unique establishments was introducing podcasts at radio Maria and interviews at Capuchin Television which are both faith-based media, these podcasts could reach a number of people regionally. Currently, since the beginning of August, I joined the CYNESA team as the Communications Director. My duties in this engagement is to create awareness, influence the youth in Africa on the triple threat. I'm grateful for my seniors for according me this opportunities.	In the year 2021, I served as the biodiversity intern at Laudato Si Movement- global. Through the guidance of the biodiversity manager, I was tasked to come up with a webinar for youth during the season of creation. I did my research as advised and through the guidance of a UNFCCC report in the year 2025, there was a story on how the youth react to the triple crisis and how many did not understand what was going on. It then dawned on me that the youth needed more information and involvement. As the webinar was indeed a success, my task and obligations towards change in the society and especially for the young grew into passion and therefore, I embarked on a mission to save biodiversity. I wish to join the ACMI Youth Forum as a COP27 delegate, to deepen my understanding on Communications more. I believe there is much I can learn from this wonderful opportunity so I could give back to the society and represent the marginalized. I enjoy working with my seniors so I could gain more wisdom and knowledge on how best to approach this issues on loss of biodiversity and pollution my only wish is that you accord me this opportunity to be part of the winning team. I am passionate about climate action and solving climate crisis, I have worked with the indigenous community in Kajiado county in a project to restore biodiversity in the area. This was one of the projects I was mostly proud of since we got to restore biodiversity. In the year, 2021 during the COP 26 in UK, I coordinated a recording session on prayer for a side event that took place in the COP with the indigenous community (maasai) , this was a commendable achievement I felt proud of. This opportunities come rarely for us.

517	DHABONA	JOB	Makerere University		My name is Dhabona Job, a Ugandan and a graduate of Community Psychology from the prestigious Makerere University. I am digital manager, online influencer, freelancer writer, poet and seasonal blogger. I have engaged a number of respectable brands, campaigns and events to see that their messages reach their target audience. Notable of the brands are United Nations, Uganda Electoral Commission, Uganda National Forestry Association, Ministry of Health-Uganda, Speke Resort Munyonyo, Embassy of France, Action Aid-Uganda and many more as an influencer and accounts handler. It is through such brands that I was introduced to the climate activism world, I have personally taken part in these campaigns such as the Global Climate Strike, Africa Climate week, Youth Climate Dialogue and many more where I have learned a lot and shared with people of the same thought. In my profession, I have worked as a volunteer at several organizations where I have attained and advanced skills my skills such as communication, team work, organizations, planning.	I have personally experienced the traumas brought about by climate change and also interfaced with victims that have gone through its terrors. I come from a country that is ravaged by climatic changes where every year there is a story reported on media platforms about the death of people due to traumatic events like floods, droughts, mudslides and heat waves causes by climate change, this is commonly experienced in the Bubuda district located in Eastern Ugandan. These events have led to mental health issues like anxiety, depression, displacement, suicide among others. Efforts have been made to sensitize people about the dangers of staying around such areas but more needs to be done and as a climate activists that is where I come. I hope to use this platform to do better for my society as regards to advocacy and spread the gospel. If selected as a delegate, this platform will enable me to connect with more like-minded individuals and engage with, learn from, and share with them. I have participated in a number of climate activism actions, like the Africa Climate Week, Youth Climate Dialogue, Global Climate Strike, and others. I think the COP27 will be will add on what I know and off much value to me and what I stand for.
518	Shakirah	Namuli	MAKERERE UNIVERSITY	MAKERERE UNIVERSITY	Am a 21 year old female Ugandan from comes from a humble background. As a child growing up, I was always fascinated by science and the natural world. I always took great pleasure in watching documentaries from National geographic Wild and with that my love for nature and science grew even stronger. When it came to choosing a combination of subjects to offer in A level, I had no doubt l wanted to be a scientist however I specifically wanted to be a doctor. One time my teacher of Submathematics Mr. Bukenya asked me to consider being a veterinarian. I was surprised why he would say that. Then he added, "you are kind and gentle, it suits you." I was overwhelmed at the same time humbled but I had really never dreamt l would be a veterinarian though I have much love for animals. Unfortunately after A level, I didn't qualify to do medicine. The dream to become a doctor had been cleared. My parents could not afford to pay for me privately. Since l love science a lot l didn't give up, so l decided to offer Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology at Makerere university. Biotechnology is a field that l feel suits me well given my enthusiasm for science. The course has a large scope of encompassing plant and animal biosystems in order to come up with solutions to existing problems. Currently am working on a project to make biogas from Azolla plant as the Research and Innovations Officer for Makerere University Biotechnology Society. In September 2021,I took part in tour guide training took place at Lake Mburo National park for a month, this was recommended to me by my elder brother as he knows just like everyone else in my family knows that am a nature lover. This experience helped me a lot understand different aspects of the natural world that were unknown to me. It's from there that l picked up the hobby of bird watching. Currently am glad to know over 100 bird species in Uganda though am still struggling to buy a binoculars. I have been to Lutembe bay to do bird watching, one of the host spots for biodiversity in Uganda. Along with my love for nature, I wish to develop my career in regenerative medicine.	I would like to be an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 not only because of my deep love for nature but also as a scientist who has an opportunity to explore and learn various was to mitigate climate change. I feel that the future belongs to the us the youth as we are the ones who are soon going to have to take on the huge responsibilities of taking care of our planet. In my opinion, African youth should be at the center for successful achievement of the sustainable development goals by 2030. These goals are 17 in number and it needs a team of dedicated, passionate and resilient youth who can apply the knowledge that they have acquired from school in order to make a difference. Much as a number of youth have done their best to spread climate change awareness and calling for sustainable use of natural resources, l believe l that l can make a significant contribution to their achievements. As a scientist, my knowledge of the natural world and the dangers human activities pose to the future of sustainable is concrete and backed up with scientific facts. I enrolled for a certificate in Environmental Education and Environmental health online and passed very well. In addition, am currently studying a Diploma in Environmental Management. To be honest, I have not had any experience with climate mobility however am well conversant with its causes and possible mitigation strategies. For example in the Horn of Africa, do to climate change, the Sahara desert is proceeding downward towards the Subsaharan country and this is lead to devastating droughts that are killing animals and displacing people. With the knowledge that l learnt and skills l have attained, I believe am a worthy candidate of the ACMI Youth delegate.
519	Sharon	Reakae	Special Olympics Botswana	https://www.specialolympics.org/programs/africa/botswana	My name is Sharon Reakae, I volunteer as a project and events coordinator at Special Olympics Botswana, my work includes coordinating Special Olympics projects, engaging with funding partners, monitoring projects, events, and writing reports. I have done this work for over three (3) years now. I do my work with sheer passion in order to make an impact in the lives of athletes with Intellectual Disability (ID) in my country, Botswana. I worked at the Department of Agricultural Research for two years (2018-2020) as an intern, where I did plant, soil and water chemical analysis for farmers. I am very passionate about life and young people with intellectual disability.I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology and Chemistry from the University of Botswana class of 2017. I obtained a certificate in Comprehensive Sexuality Education in 2021 offered by UNICEF.I establish a relationship with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) in 2021 as a funding partner to carry out projects that are geared on inclusivity of young people with disability, we have had very successful events such as training of twenty (20) teachers and coaches who are in special education and eighty (80) caregivers of the young people with disabilities so that they can engage in the caring and safeguarding of the young people with disabilities. This project ran over a period of six (6) months, where I liaised and delegated with teachers and coaches in the four (4) primary schools I was working with in the central region of Botswana. In the same year, 2021, I was honored by Special Olympics Botswana, I was given an Outstanding Volunteer and Leadership award by the National Director Mr Roslyn Tebele.	Decision makers do not fully consider people with intellectual disabilities in their planning of the effects of climate change. One reason for this is that climate change effects on people with intellectual disabilities have not been studied as much as other vulnerable populations. I would like be one of the ACMI Youth Forum delegates to be a voice for people with intellectual disability. Emergency warnings and other important messages may not be designed with accessibility in mind. This can make it difficult for people with disabilities to plan for extreme weather events. They may need ongoing medical care, which can be disrupted before, during, and after a natural disaster or extreme weather events. People with intellectual disabilities have social and economic risk factors, such as poverty and unemployment, that put them at greater risk. My work at Special Olympics Botswana entails family forums where different professionals are invited to educate the students with intellectual disability on their health, climate change and their sexuality. The talks are on keeping hydrated, people with disabilities are especially at risk for heat-related illness and death. These include individuals with mental health issues, those who depend on others for assistance in daily living, and those with limited mobility or access to transportation. Last year (2021) we had a keep hydrated challenge mobilized, as Botswana is prone to extreme heat waves, this was done to safeguard in and out of school youth living with intellectual disability from the extreme temperatures in the summer time.

Currently, I'm working with Adolescent Girls Initiative for Learning and Empowerment (AGILE)—a World Bank supported project—as its Gender Based Violence (GBV) Officer II as a volunteer in Kano State, I use secondary school as a platform to empower girls through education, life skills, health education particularly in the areas of GBV awareness, prevention, mitigation, negotiations skills, and self-agency.	Adolescent girls face many constraints in accessing and completing secondary school education, adding that lack of secondary schools is significantly greater with up to 10 primary schools for every secondary school in northern Nigeria. Before the rise in insurgency and banditry, it's mostly financial problems, poor condition of infrastructure and a lack of water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities make it difficult for girls to stay in school. But the recent spike in the targeted raid and attack on female schools and female institutions purposely for abduction and kidnapping of women and girls erected a barrier for women and especially girls to go to school. Adolescent Girls Initiative for Learning and Empowerment (AGILE) – a World Bank supported project aimed at improving secondary education opportunities among girls in these targeted areas. And as its Gender Based Violence (GBV) Officer II in Kano State, we use secondary school as a platform to empower girls through education, life skills, health education particularly in the areas of nutrition, reproductive health, GBV awareness and prevention, negotiations skills, self-agency and digital literacy skills..

If you would select me for this program, it will be very proud moment and golden opportunity for me to strengthened my vision and enhance my knoweledge If I would selected for this program, after completing this course and came back I will do it practically as I can what I will have learned from it.Firstly, I will understand and comprend myself and also start to implement myself then take start from my family after that I will start in my community and society by designing effective activities as such as seminars,workshops and through small trainings through this I will reached my knowledge and experience with them. Being belong to umerkot ,tharparker district of Sindh where the very less no of resources but, I would like to mention that there is very less no of students towards activism and other social activities because of multiple reasons ; being margnilized and lack of awareness motivation they get very less opportunities like this. So, if you would availed me this opportunity ,I will implement what will gain from it and take it in action bring them forward by sharing my knowledge ,experience. I believe this program will be very helpful and better for me because of this I can create a collective change in community ,society ,I can contribute myself. Afterward I will be able to do my work more effective way ,it would give me returnable for a long term and theses knowledge will more helpful to work on community.
527	Gerald	Muchiri	Chatham House Common Futures Conversations Initiative		Gerald Kihara FRSA is a Kenyan social scientist whose interests lie in diplomacy, social entrepreneurship, the digital economy and public policy .He is especially passionate about how the youth can use these tools and platforms to simultaneously achieve socio-economic empowerment and sustainable development. He holds a certificate from YALI on understanding climate change. He is a member of the Chatham House Common Futures Conversations Initiative and has also represented them on a climate migration panel at a climate migration conference hosted by Alliance for Citizens Engagement. He has also published articles on the way in which ICT can be used to provide solutions to mitigate climate change migration. He holds a certificate from the Young African Leaders Initiative with a focus on understanding climate change. He is a Queens Commonwealth Trust Young Leader, an International Trade Centre Young Entrepreneurs Community Youth Champion, an African Changemakers Fellow, a member of the International Trade Council and holds a fellowship from the Royal Society of Arts. .	Climate change mobility is influenced by the environmental conditions that are prevalent at any point in time. Take for example my country Kenya. Over the past decade, my home country Kenya has experienced a somewhat unprecedented increase in the amount of annual rainfall widely attributed to climate change. This has raised Lake Baringo by forty metres inundating nearly 22,000 acres and destroying business and homes. As a result of this, this has forced many people to leave and has resulted in unprecedented migration pressures as towns and cities are largely unprepared for the influx as the pressure of so many arrivals will overwhelm service providers. According to the National Climate Change Action Plan 2018-2022, flooding in 2018 claimed 183 lives, this has displaced more than 225,000 people (including more than 145,000 children) and closed over 700 schools. The most recent statistics for the month of June afforded in the national monthly drought update by the National Drought Management Authority report that 4.1 million households in Kenya are facing hunger. This increase in numbers has increased which portends that the current number may be exacerbated by current conditions which reflect an inadequate lack of climate proofing. This has direct dire implications on the new current administrations' development blueprint as it renders it in danger of not meeting its development targets. This is where the role of climate adaptation funds comes in. The global climate fund considers providing funds to developing countries for adaption and to curb greenhouse gas emission with its original objective envisioning a 50%-50% allocation and yet only 20% ends up being provided to the developing countries for adaptation. There needs to be a conversation on how politics of funding scuttle development initiatives and how it indirectly places countries into development traps by harming their food security and placing them into a cycle where they need outside assistance from donors which defeats the purpose of creating such initiatives. Governments in the Global South are directly hamstrung because they receive less money than they would have. I am a suitable candidate for this initiative because I have experience in this kind of work which I have garnered from being a member of the Chatham Common Futures Conversations Initiative. Just recently I represented the Common Futures Conversations Initiative at a conference hosted by ACE (Alliance for Citizens Engagement) on a climate migration panel. A dialogue piece detailing this discussion was featured in World Today. I have also made video submissions on what I thought policymakers should include in their discussions on Cop26. This is why I personally believe my knowledge and experience makes me suitable to represent ACMI at Cop27.

I haven't been anywhere else in Africa but the media tells me that it's not just Zimbabwe thats affected but the Whole Globe. My motivation came from when there was a shortage of rains in Zimbabwe which led to low water for usage. I personally was studying at that time and had to travel long distance to fetch water ,which was unclean too. It got to me. So ,l went in search of people of my same vision and joined together. In 2018, l was part of a petition for establishment of Sustainable water sources to cater for my community. It was a huge success. Safe boreholes were constructed. Now, the initiative has expanded into other communities.

He has a track record of political and organizational leadership, having worked on climate change issues while serving as the Leader of the Students Union, a member of parliament, the deputy speaker, and, most recently, the prime minister of the student organization at the Institute of Rural Development Planning (IRDP-Dodoma) Additionally, he has represented Tanzania's youth at international conferences held in Rwanda, Kenya, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Tanzania. Additionally enhancing and diversifying extracurricular pursuits including diplomacy, international relations, and peacekeeping, He is currently working as a volunteer for the Department of Economic Diplomacy's East Africa Cooperation and Ministry of Foreign Affairs while working as an assistant director for an indigenous organization where he is one of the founders and who deals with issues of climate change and environmental concerns. In order to attain sustainable development for a much better world. Kerika is a God-fearing individual who is prepared to assist the international community as a leader, progress catalyst, and professional development planner in various facets of development and organizations.	Since it is jeopardizing our existence and reducing our future career opportunities, climate change is a major worry for everyone, but young people in particular. I view the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative Youth Forum as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn from, interact with, and network with climate advocates, researchers, and organizations to develop pathways, measure progress toward achieving climate targets and ensure we provide a just and equitable energy transition. I think I can add something to the discussion because I have some special perspectives, ideas, and a pleasant, cooperative attitude. I've worked on an environmental project that involved young people in four regions. We were able to plant 3000 trees in secondary schools and universities. We also gave out information on the importance of environmental care to young people of all genders, including those who are impaired. In order to make sure that we do not leave anyone behind in the entirety of the climate action concerns, I was also able to conduct an online campaign through WhatsApp groups, where I was able to reach more than 700 girls, particularly during the covid-19 period. I engaged in a campaign to educate the Maasai community as an indigenous about environmental issues and the vast number of animals utilized, as well as to find an alternate energy source and stop cutting down trees for cooking and start utilizing other kinds of energy such as solar, where I was able to reach over 370 families in the Arusha region. I worked with traditional leaders who have significant power within the indigenous community to determine the best method to implement the policy of alternate energy sources. As a representative of university student governments, I was also able to participate in legal legislation on the participation of young people in all matters of climate action, where I gave my thoughts on behalf of young people regarding youth inclusion in climate action

535	Anthony	Torori	Spark Savannah		I am a detail-oriented Energy Engineer with a deep understanding of Oil and Gas Value Chain, Reservoir systems, energy market analysis and project management geared toward improving energy efficiency and resource development. Desiring to leverage hydrocarbon expertise, collaborate and implement strategies that not only enable integration but also, accelerate transition toward clean, reliable, affordable modern energy. Currently, through a local energy initiative implementing a waste-to-energy project for the production of sustainable Biofuels to meet the mobility and power generation needs of the community.	According to the World Commission on Environment and Economic Development, both nations and multinational organizations have purposed to formulate and implement sustainable development plans that safeguard the capacity of future generations to meet their demands in order to seize the opportunity to meet the needs of this generation. In this regard, sustainable urbanization is one of the most critical areas of focus for both developing and developed economies. This is due to the fact that it entails achieving several SDGs, including good health and well-being, affordable, clean modern energy, quality education, gender equality, and equal opportunity. The ACMI and other multilateral institutions are addressing today's most pressing challenges by accelerating progress toward global poverty eradication and shared prosperity. In addressing Energy Poverty, for example, investment in user-efficiency improvement projects and rural electrification prove to be more credible than the 'traditional' financing measures that have defined International lending for centuries. I am a firm believer that the emphasis, particularly in developing countries such as Kenya, should be on value-added partnership rather than aid. International and local joint ventures can create opportunities in green financing and innovation hubs for the advancement of research, entrepreneurship, and commercialization of energy technologies. As a result, the objectives of capacity building and local content development are met, enhancing the impact of regional economic reform. The opportunity to meet, share, and collaborate on innovative approaches to energy integration and emission reduction through project development in renewable fuels, rather than a "one size fits all" zero-emission strategy, is what drew me to this forum. It is an opportunity for ACMI Youth Delegates to build peer-to-peer networks and gain experience in sustainable energy business development through the eyes of other young minds from across the African continent. The ACMI Forum at COP27 provides an excellent opportunity for regional representatives and development partners to collaborate, translate, and formulate tailored solutions to regional developmental challenges. With experience in both renewable and oil and gas, the opportunities for energy integration are prime and urgently needed to meet the growing energy demand at the local and regional levels. The potential for growth in the East African energy industry, as well as the urgency of doing so, has motivated and influenced my desire to become involved in the search for innovative and local solutions that work for my region, where efforts are primarily aimed at alleviating energy poverty and promoting communal wealth and revenue sharing.

539	Mpumelelo	Nyoni	University of Zimbabwe	www.uz.ac.zw	I was born on Saturday the 27th of March in the year 1999. I was raised in a rural household where the importance of taking care of our environment for the environment to be able to take care of us could never be over emphasized.At Grade6 primary education I earned a public speaking scholarship that has carried me up to today as I am studying towards a Law degree.I found cause and purpose in chaneling my public speaking capabilities into sounding the alarm about climate change and how much is it a more serious threat to our very existence than most people realize.Throughout the cause of my ljfe I have learnt that as the planet gets older, it's also moving towards a point where it will no longer be able to sustain life and that we are the generation that should act now to mitigage that risk.	The ozon layer is getting depleted, the ice is melting, the planet is becoming hotter, extreme weather has become our reality. The writing is on the wall: we are headed towards sure doom.Climate change is a real and present danger and yet most seem to be oblivious of it or reluctanct to do the work that needs to be done. I know and understand only too well that Mother Earth is our only home and we therefore need to use any and all means necessary to protect her. It is for this reason that I apply to be an ACMI Youth Forum delegate .This opportunity will give me the stage to add my voice to what other great climate activists like Greta Thurnberg have been saying :Save the planet.

I am driven by action. Recently, the rise in global climatic catastrophes such as wildfires in Europe and Canada, Drought in Ethiopia, Karamoja in Uganda and in northern Kenya which has left a lot of people without food has enticed me to come up with my research paper on the "USE OF TECHNOLOGY IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE: How Africa can adapt". I am also looking further focusing my future school research in the line as well, majorly looking at climate change and diplomacy. I am driven by action, I convincingly believe that something can be done to achieve Africa's climate goals. that's why I am dedicating my time and resources to this fight. Being an ACMI delegate at COP27 is a great opportunity to interact with other climate movers about my finding and also learn more about the future of climate change in Africa. Thank you

Michael is driven by the passion of working with the teenage mothers through sewing of reusable sanitary ware at the community level to promote green menstruation. Upon completion of the COP27 program, Michael plans to continue his work in using his voice, using his vote and using his choice to make his voice heard by those in power through voicing why he thinks action on climate change is important. Michael is thoughtful, passionate, committed and looking ahead to turn research into innovation and problems into plan. Because that's what a path is - a way forward.	As a student Nurse, I strongly believe that, Healthcare significantly contributes to climate change and can play a vital role in supporting change. Several healthcare practices produce waste by products that are hazardous to the environment, thus nursing and midwifery education should include a focus on how natural resources should be used and disposed in clinical practice, as well as the impact sustainable measures have on the environment. Opportunities must be identified to integrate wider topics on the importance of sustainability and vital issues into the nursing curriculum. This can drive change and create awareness on the link between sustainability issues being healthcare issues as well, making them relevant for clinical practice at the community level. Developing awareness of sustainability in nursing and midwifery using a scenario-based approach aimed to assess the impact of a sustainability-focused, scenario-based learning educational intervention on student nurses and midwives' attitudes and knowledge. Nursing and midwifery students can be instrumental in being catalysts for environmental change by widening their knowledge on sustainability. Using this method in the context of clinical skills creates an engaging and interesting approach that is both educational and clinically applicable. Sustainable development, according to the International Council of Nursing, is concerned with providing a framework in which groups, communities, and individuals have access to resources and opportunities, as well as the ability to exercise their rights to build infrastructures that promote healthy communities. Through this, sustainable practices can provide ways for communities to thrive and met expectations in the present day without comprising the future generations. Therefore, nurses can promote and advocate for policies in awareness of global warming and as well as their health consequences.

As a UNICEF Youth Advocate, he has taken a lead to address issues that are affecting children and youths to stakeholders at a national and international level as well as giving suggestions on ways to solve them sustainably. Emmanuel believes that Youth participation in decision-making and innovation are the keys to a sustainable future. As we are keeping efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals if youths are fully involved it's possible for youths to come up with innovative solutions for every sustainable development goal and quicken achieving them.	I'm passionate on Innovation. I believe that Innovation is the key towards bringing about a sustainable future. This is to mean that Climate Crisis can be solve by innovations. Most of the challenges and problems brought about by climate change can be solved by young people coming with innovative ideas and solutions. As a UNICEF Youth Advocate, I have been advocating and inspiring young innovators from my country level and in international Forums to come up with innovative sustainable solutions to tackle climate change. Being part of the ACMI Youth Forum would give me room to advocate more on how we can bridge the gap between innovation and climate change so as we can achieve a sustainable future.

545	Youssef	Osman	Climatebase	https://climatebase.org/fellowship	I am an Egyptian Climate and Sustainable Development focused Engineer. I graduated from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada with an Integrated Engineering degree that was tailored to issues related to the Climate Crisis. UBC is ranked as the leading university in Climate Action. So, naturally, my academic and extracurricular activities were mostly focused on the best practices to mitigate the climate crisis and to transition to sustainable living methods. I worked as a teaching assistant where I taught a course on implementing systems thinking towards sustainable engineering and environmental stewardship. At UBC Sustaingineering, I helped introduce sustainability and women in STEM into the local education system. Furthermore, I helped implement clean energy powered systems to help NGO partners in Central American countries like Mexico and Nicaragua to help create economic opportunities for the underprivileged populations and to help them lead a healthier, more sustainable life. I also contributed to the success of the African Business Forum at UBC, and worked with UBC Rocket to successfully launch a reusable rocket at the Spaceport America Cup. Also, I designed an HCFC-free HVAC system that was sustainable and 80% recyclable, that could help relieve extreme weather events in distressed areas. After graduation, I was selected as one of 150 inaugural fellows at ClimateBase, a 10 week program that focused on ClimateTech and connected me to experts in the field. I also briefly worked as a Solar PV designer with a solar energy company in BC, before I decided to come back to Egypt and use my education and expertise to pitch a major Climate Adaptation project to the Egyptian government and to help my community mitigate and prepare for the impacts of Climate Change, with the hope of also attending COP27.	As a young African Engineer, I would appreciate a chance to attend COP27 as an ACMI youth forum delegate primarily to learn from and connect with the youth and the global leaders and subject matter experts that will be attending the conference. Over the past few years, I have attended and participated in as many Climate-focused conferences and forums as I could, and this has enabled me to learn about different initiatives and methods to mitigate and adapt to Climate Change. However, due to the COVID pandemic, I have yet to physically attend a conference of this magnitude where I would connect with youth from Africa and from all over the world and share expertise and solutions. Through my work with Sustaingineering, I was exposed to what climate refugees would have to go through in Central American countries and I worked on people-focused adaptation projects that enabled people to continue to live sustainably. I have also rigorously studied and taught courses on the subject, and am confident in my ability to advance conversations and initiatives at COP27 while focusing on the most important factor that is the people. On the other hand, I am eager to attend climate negotiations and ensure the voice of the youth that will inherit this earth is well-represented at COP27. Last year, there were concerns about COP26 being inaccessible and out of touch with reality. However, as this COP is in Egypt, and is happening in the midst of global crisis and climate caused catastrophes like in Pakistan, this COP must be as it is advertised, a COP of implementation. Recently, I moderated a Climate Launchpad event where I got to witness the ingenuity and creativity of diverse African youth entrepreneurs who are launching their climate tech companies, and I learned even more how the Climate Crisis comes in different shapes and forms to different people and how the inequality in its impacts on the global south and especially our continent needs to be addressed adequately. I look forward to taking part in this global event and representing the concerns of African youths at this conference.
546	Charles Lwanga	Tumuhe	Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa	afsafrica.org	I have engaged with agroecology and climate in the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA). In AFSA, I coordinate policy and practice-based interventions in 10 countries advocating agroecology for climate action. I organized a conference for 32 African countries to set a roadmap for maintaining agroecology in COP27 and beyond. I studied climate and agroecology at two levels, i.e., an MSc in the environment and natural resources, and a bachelor's degree in agriculture.	I want to connect with young people and other policymakers, scientists, and international research and development organizations at the global level to develop collaborative and integrated approaches to climate action. I hope to mobilize young people to form movements, innovative platforms, working groups, multistakeholder partnerships, and networks for supporting campaigns for climate justice, resource sovereignty, and food systems transformation. I believe ACMI youth forum will give me a platform to design a framework to drive the interventions in agroecology for climate change adaptation and attainment of most SDGs, NDCs, the Kyoto protocol, the Paris agreement, and the global goal of adaptation. I hope to build strong relationships and collaboration among climate actors and negotiators to promote agroecology in national, regional, and international climate policies and plans. Such relationships will shape a roadmap and political system for climate adaptation and community resilience through evidence, policy shift, and sustainable financing mechanisms for agroecology.

553	Youssef	Osman	ClimateBase	climatebase.org/fellowship	I am an Egyptian Climate and Sustainable Development focused Engineer. I graduated from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada with an Integrated Engineering degree that was tailored to issues related to the Climate Crisis. UBC is ranked as the leading university in Climate Action. So, naturally, my academic and extracurricular activities were mostly focused on the best practices to mitigate the climate crisis and to transition to sustainable living methods. I worked as a teaching assistant where I taught a course on implementing systems thinking towards sustainable engineering and environmental stewardship. At UBC Sustaingineering, I helped introduce sustainability and women in STEM into the local education system. Furthermore, I helped implement clean energy powered systems to help NGO partners in Central American countries like Mexico and Nicaragua to help create economic opportunities for the underprivileged populations and to help them lead a healthier, more sustainable life. I also contributed to the success of the African Business Forum at UBC, and worked with UBC Rocket to successfully launch a reusable rocket at the Spaceport America Cup. Also, I designed an HCFC-free HVAC system that was sustainable and 80% recyclable, that could help relieve extreme weather events in distressed areas. After graduation, I was selected as one of 150 inaugural fellows at ClimateBase, a 10 week program that focused on ClimateTech and connected me to experts in the field. I also briefly worked as a Solar PV designer with a solar energy company in BC, before I decided to come back to Egypt and use my education and expertise to pitch a major Climate Adaptation project to the Egyptian government and to help my community mitigate and prepare for the impacts of Climate Change, with the hope of also attending COP27.	As a young African Engineer, I would appreciate a chance to attend COP27 as an ACMI youth forum delegate primarily to learn from and connect with the youth and the global leaders and subject matter experts that will be attending the conference. Over the past few years, I have attended and participated in as many Climate-focused conferences and forums as I could, and this has enabled me to learn about different initiatives and methods to mitigate and adapt to Climate Change. However, due to the COVID pandemic, I have yet to physically attend a conference of this magnitude where I would connect with youth from Africa and from all over the world and share expertise and solutions. Through my work with Sustaingineering, I was exposed to what climate refugees would have to go through in Central American countries and I worked on people-focused adaptation projects that created resilience and enabled people to continue to live sustainably. I have also rigorously studied and taught courses on the subject, and am confident in my ability to advance conversations and initiatives at COP27 while focusing on the most important factor that is the people. On the other hand, I am eager to attend climate negotiations and ensure the voice of the youth that will inherit this earth is well-represented at COP27. Last year, there were concerns about COP26 being inaccessible and out of touch with reality. However, as this COP is in Egypt, and is happening in the midst of global crisis and climate caused catastrophes like in Pakistan, this COP must be as it is advertised, a COP of implementation. Recently, I moderated a Climate Launchpad African regional finale event where I got to witness the ingenuity and creativity of diverse African youth entrepreneurs who are launching their climate tech companies, and I learned even more how the Climate Crisis comes in different shapes and forms to different people and how the inequality in its impacts on the global south and especially our continent needs to be addressed adequately. I look forward to taking part in this global event and representing the concerns of African youths at this conference.

I believe in the AU dream for inclusive Africanization and realization of the African dreams.	The effect of climate change is all over Africa and could be noticed in widespread insecurity and food scarcity. I am motivated to participate as a conflict researcher to learn and to lend my voice to an umbrella covering all African states so that a lasting solution could be found for the bio-peace and development of the African nation.

I believe that COP27 is an opportunity to showcase unity against an existential threat that we can only overcome through concerted action and effective implementation. My motivation to Join COP27 is to add my voice and let the world know how we can shift from fossil fuels and transition to environmental friendly energy, I would also want to raise my voice in encouraging communities to protect natural habitants that are threatened by climate change.

558	HAKIZIMANA	Bienvenu	Water for development	https://www.water4dev.org/	Bienvenu HAKIZIMANA is a 27-year-old young Burundian leader who currently lives in the Cibitoke province of Burundi. He is a statistician by training in baccalaureate since 2021. He speaks English and French. He is passionate about the environment, climate change and about discrimination from people with disabilities . he is among those who live with a disability, he has a physical disability on his right hand. When he was a 2 years old kid, he got a fire burn which impaired his right forearm and hand. He is also a member of Water For Development organization since 2021, this organization works in the province of Cibitoke with the objective of which rewards initiatives dedicated to reducing poverty and with the aim of combating climate change. Water4Dev installs and operates chlorine dispensers installed next to water collection points. This system makes it easy to treat water: a dose in a 20L container allows the inhabitants of the province of Cibitoke to obtain drinking water once they arrive at home. It takes 30 minutes for the active chlorine to take effect and kill 99.9% of the bacteria present in the water. On September 1, 2022, Water4Dev organized a youth capacity building workshop on climate change in collaboration with International Student Environmental Coalition-ISEC Burundi. The objective was to equip the beneficiaries with skills and inspire them to act for the climate at the local level, after this workshop the participants responded massively in a campaign of "MakeCibitokeGreen" The first cleanup activity of our "MakeCibitokeGreen" campaign along RN5 road in Cibitoke city was implemented 2 September 2022 successfully: - 33 young people wjo benefited from the training on climate change led the implementation of the clean-up - 22 bags of plastic waste collected and segregated He has taken a lot of leadership training: -In May 2022, he was selected to follow the training of young african leaders initiative (YALI DAKAR West Africa) in the online session 13 on the Leadership / civic engagement program. After 4 months of training he was certified and became hn Alumni of the YALI DAKAR Regional Leadership Center. - on July 2022, he was selected to attend the African Rebirth online mentoring training, after the 2-month online training he was certified and became an African Rebirth Alumnus.	I'm applying to wish to become an ACMI youth forum Delegate for COP27 because you can't achieve sustainable development without taking climate action as it says in the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) and as a young Burundian leader to participate at COP27 as youth Delegate is an important opportunity that i can't wait to attend. It's also an honor to participate at COP27 as young disabled leader because the majority of people living with disabilities don't often have such an opportunity to participate in major conferences like COP27, so once my candidacy would be accepted it goes to show that there is no discrimination against people with disabilities despite their disability. I will also show that people with disabilities are ready to impact like others, and make the difference and propose the solutions to problems on climate change mobility with other young leaders. Burundi suffers from interrelated and interdependent environmental problems, aggravated by the effects of climate change. The main problems are: 1-Deforestation and soil degradation (loss of 38 million tons of soil each year) caused mainly for the purpose of obtaining agricultural space and wood as a source of energy, releasing CO2 in the air while degradation and infertility have a negative effect on agricultural productivity. 2-The loss of biodiversity, due to deforestation and soil degradation, which destabilizes the local ecosystem, worsens soil and air pollution and threatens the various households. 3-Indoor air pollution due to the use of polluting cooking methods which in turn cause health problems and aggravate deforestation; 4-The loss of biodiversity, due to deforestation and soil degradation, which destabilizes the local ecosystem, worsens soil and air pollution and threatens the various households. In addition, Burundi suffers from recurrent natural disasters exacerbated by deforestation and land degradation, with physical consequences on the environment, infrastructure and families. That's why attending and participating at COP27 will be very opportunity to me as a young Burundian disabled leader with the aim of contributing to the solutions about climate mobility initiative in Burundi in particular.

Moreover, the COP 27/ Climate Mobility holds attractive relevant content which will equip me with advanced Climate variability and change. Participating in the Climate Mobility as a COP 27 delegate is going to greatly improve my performance and hence better positioned for growth as I young leader, I would like to learn and have skills of how best I can handle the movement of people in the context of climate change where by women and young girls are victims of Climate Mobility in rural areas.

From this association, not only will the new knowledge and aspiration be acquired, but there is also a potential of coming up with joints/ventures and partnerships with an impact.
560	AYADI	MISHRA	MGCY, YOUNGO, EAY	https://www.earthadvocacy-youth.org/team	I am a computational designer and a climate activist who works at grassroot levels with my own group that I co-lead. Together we are working to make inclusive and literate communities. This has been connected to the international movement for #ActOnYourClimateScience where i am the Asia Liaison working to launch the same opportunities/hubs across the states and then the regions... This work ties in with the UN SDSN work where i researched to integrate my city's informal vending areas and public domain. I have set up a team of experts for the same and am in the process for figuring out the same.TO further the cause in an international level, as YOUNGO Policy Lead for Nature I am writing and advocating for similar themes to the stakeholders and the GYS this year. My most recent contributions are the Global inputs on the Asia Roundtable held today with COP President in a one-on-one conversation. Others are - involvement in Stockholm+50 Youth TF with the UN Major Group of Children and Youth, as a part of the Policy and Ecosystems' Youth Consultations towards the UNEA 5.2, UNEP@50, and Stockholm+50. Further high-level(online) UN projects/consultations are: UNFCCC Experts dialogue in NCQGs, UNCTAD Illicit Trade Forum, UNCBD COP15, UNFCCC Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture, UNFCCC Global Stockstake at the Bonn Climate Change Conference (SB56), UNFCCC COP 26 & 27 Global Youth Statement, UN Ocean Conference, and many others. In addition, I am the policy lead at YOUNGO Nature WG, IRENA shortlist SDG7YC member as well.	This is a COP of implementation and adaptation, and youth will have to push the UNFCCC and parties for a lot - something i am all in for. I have a lot of agenda items and ideas/questions to address and push for the 1.5 degrees for we, as Indians aren't here to compromise for a 2 degree or 3 degrees because then we have already lost - and we have suffered enough already...where i want to speak on behalf of my people and my country and the youth. Without focusing on biodiversity, we cannot reach our goals on climate change. WE have already crossed our "red line" on biodiversity loss and we keep on doing further damage. This is the reason I want/need to work in this sector! I have been a part of YOUNGO and MGCY for Ecosystems TF for a few years now, and am currently the Policy lead for Nature WG, working with Ecocide International and writing papers on the same with UN SDSN as well. I have been a storytelling winner with Youth4Nature, a GLF Fellow with YIL, and a rapporteur/volunteer for their climate summits as well! My work is very closely related to the topic and i would love to have this opportunity. In last week's UNCTAD meeting i remember thinking if we as youth had more opportunities and a larger voice in the bureaucratic forums, we could drive change for our planet and raise the voices of the people actually "suffering" ... and that is the simplest reason i know to be applying to this position.

570	Daniel	Mainge	ISHTAR MSM	Www.ishtarmsm.org	This image represents the biggest problem that the human species has ever faced: the current trend in global warming . There is no longer any doubt that our planet is growing warmer and that human actions are the primary cause. There is also no question that if we don’t do something about it soon, the consequences will be devastating. Of the 17 warmest years on record, 16 of them have occurred since the year 2000. While record-breaking years attract the most public attention, individual years are less significant than the overall trend, and the upward trend in Earth’s temperature is alarming. The average temperature of the planet has been rising for more than a century, and its rate of increase is accelerating. The most significant reason for Earth’s rising temperature is the human impact on the Grean house	With reference to your climate mobility fellowship vacancy, I would like to show my interest.

I am the founder and CEO of Kisumeo Organics Limited, an agri-tech start up empowering small holder farmers in rural Africa create sustainable and climate resilient aquatic food systems. We are leveraging artificial intelligence to maximize precision and sustainability in crustacean farming with key focus in crawfish & lobster farming. Our scope of work covers the whole fish value chain i.e from egg to market with our flagship product being hatchery services( young crayfish & lobsters) for out grower small holder famers. We offer farmer training, aggregation, consultation and advocacy for circular aquatic food systems.	Coming from a rural village in eastern Kenya, I have witnessed many youths migrating to urban areas in search for opportunities and a better life. Whilst they leave large tracts of land at back at thier rural homes which they don't have means to make it productive. Working with small holder farmers in the rural communities and empowering them with knowledge and climate smart technology to produce fish sustainably has significantly improved agricultural production. The farmers generate income, creating jobs and promoting local development. It is through such initiatives that youths in rural communities find interest and passion to pursue agribusiness utilizing available resources to generate income at the comfort of their homes. I am motivated to be part of the ACMI Youth Forum delegate to share these experiences and also to learn with peers and experts on how we can better such initiatives to create bigger impact on to more communities vulnerable to the effects of climate change
575	Mohsin	Mohammedali	Y Hub		I am a 22 year old male living in Tanzania with a keen interest in Sustainability with emphasis on renewable energy. I am currently working towards building a company that would help transition Tanzania to a green economy through sustainable energy alternatives. Whilst doing so, I recognised that there are many like minded youth doing the same kind of work in different industries and that there was a lack of awareness around these solutions and the dangers of climate change in general. And so along with a close friend, we decided to start Y Hub with the intention of advocating for climate solutions and to highlight different solutions around it. In the long run we intend to scale these solutions and serve as a consultancy for solutions around sustainability for different businesses and organisations.	I believe that exposure to such an event with a large network focused on climate change will allow me to better understand the infrastructure around it. The opportunity to connect and network with like minded individuals in the same field and to share ideas and solutions will also help propel our organisation in the right direction. Whereas I have the technical understanding around climate solutions, I feel as though I am lacking when it comes to understanding the network and infrastructure around these conversations which is why I think attending this event will be extremely beneficial for me and the work that I am, and intending to do.

Although I am an indigine of Langtang North Local Government of Plateau state in Nigeria, I relocated to Bassa due to the impact of climate change evident in low rainfall, increasing temperature, drought and violent conflict between the taroks and fulanis consequently influencing migration movements. Extreme weather occurrences has resulted in scorching heat from the sun which become even more frequent and intense. My family use to keep to some animals but we no longer do due to the drought being experienced in my village of Langtang. While I have access to water and low temperatures in Bassa, I am considered to be a non indigine and as such I do not enjoy some basic rights due to an indigine such as being able to run for political office.

I believe that the importance of tackling climate is crucial for the survival and existence of our continent. Somalia is facing tremendous climate change, millions of people are facing hunger and food security, and livestock is dying due to droughts. Somalia is the most vulnerable country to Climate change and needs regional and global forums to discuss, and I want to stand with my fellow Africans to bring together a solution.

I am one of the conscious witnesses and victims of the climate crisis in Africa but on top of that I am also a survivor of war. As you may know, my country (the DR Congo), plunged into a deep and multifaceted crisis, today has several climatically displaced persons following numerous and enormous natural disasters that are difficult to describe, in addition to refugees and displaced persons from war in the eastern part where I live. By taking part in COP27 as a delegate of the ACMI Youth Forum, I am carrying the voice of African youth and particularly that of Congolese youth (both victims of war and the climate crisis), this voice which must be heard and taken into account by global decision makers and everyone else about climate crisis-induced migration in the context of violent conflict. Knowing that climate crisis is global but populations in a context of violent conflict are the most exposed to this threat, I would like to be one of the young ACMI Youth Forum delegates at COP27 to speak and show the need to reconcile climate change adaptation strategies, including migration, with peacebuilding to avoid the escalation of the crisis. I would therefore invite world decision makers to "disarm violence and arm climate adaptation" for the benefit of present and future generations. My speech would therefore focus on investing for the responsible management of violent conflict and the development of migration, disaster displacement and the voluntary and planned resettlement of people in the context of climate change and violent conflict.

Extreme weather events, water scarcity, lower crop yields, sea level rises and environmental degradation might threaten the livelihoods of tens of millions of people – and uproot millions of them. But climate change is interconnected with many other drivers of migration, making it even more difficult to tease out the crucial relationship between climate-related events and the mobility patterns of people. Yet, there are opportunities to tackle these challenges and find political and practical solutions.

I graduated from Kafr El-Sheikh University, Faculty of Science, and studied physics in all its branches, which had a great impact on the formation of my personality and thought. Then I went to continue my master's studies at Mansoura University, because I love studying and scientific research very much. From the beginning of the university period until now, I am aware that university study alone is not sufficient to build a conscious person, which prompted me to develop myself and take many, many courses in many fields and even volunteer work.	In fact, my interest has recently begun to increase in the issue of climate change, due to the spread of hurricanes, droughts and many natural disasters that occur at the global level. I live and all these frightening events revolve around me that threaten my living and food security, as well as my health safety. These are strong motives to frighten me and to start with myself, my family and my community to reduce this disaster so that we do not regret it now and in the future.
588	Olatomide	Ojajune	ECODIVERSIFIED international		Olatomide Ojajune is a Nigerian climate change champion with a huge interest in Climate Education. She is a forester by profession and an advocate for environmental sustainability which is a viable way of conserving and protecting the environment at large. She is passionate about strengthening the resilience of people and bringing development to people’s actions toward climate change and sustainable development goals. She has been actively involved in climate change education for the past 4 years and has strategically reached out to children through school outreach and older people through environmental awareness campaigns and a podcast channel. She further advanced her career by taking several online courses and participating in several climate change fellowships which include Climate Leadership Fellowship Nigeria, Oxford School of Climate change, Climate Education Leaders Fellowship, and Climate Actors Accelerator program hosted by Sustainable Development Solutions Youth Network, Nigeria. She has volunteered with some organizations working towards climate actions and sustainable development goals sensitizing and advocating in schools, communities, and social platforms. Olatomide is the founder of “ TalkclimateAfrica”, an educational channel reaching out to people who prefer listening to music or spoken words other than reading, creating awareness and sensitizing them on the environment, climate change, and how best it can be mitigated or adapted. She founded a non-profit organization “Heart 2 bear love foundation” that seeks to reduce the high rate of poverty by providing resources and empowering the needy which is one of the solutions to reducing hunger, poverty, promoting quality education, health, and well-being of marginalized people Olatomide is a pacesetter, she has received a lot of certifications in Climate change advocacy after carrying out several projects, she was also certified by Servelead Humanitarian Initiative as an international I-volunteer for leadership and influence, volunteer project management, strategic communication, and marketing, public speaking, and partnership.

My experience in the field of climate action is majorly on climate education, I have noticed that alot of climate change activist major solemnly on raising solutions to combat climate change , if at all they are into the advocacy aspect, they still find it very difficult to sensitise children or general public on climate change. This is one major reason why I was motivated to involve myself in climate education , I have been going to schools to teach kids between aged 10-18 on the basics of climate change and how best we can curb the effect individually even as a kid. I realised children can be easily convinced and influence than adults and they also have high tendency of passing the message easily to their parents, friends or people related to them which would give them more listening ears . I am also trying to make sure climate education is attached to school curriculum so as to increase climate action in the society. Tree planting is a major physical exercise I have been engaging the students on and we have planted about 200 trees in the last two years . Aside teaching school children on Climate change, I have been invited by some popular radio station in Nigeria to talk more on the role of youth in mitigating climate change. I am also aware of people especially rural dwellers who has little or no knowledge on what climate change is all about although they keep hearing the news from several platforms but no better understanding. Also 50% of humans hardly sit down to study a book, they prefer audio books or channels where they can listen to whatever things they like to even when working which is why I founded TALKCLIMATEAFRICA, a weekly advocacy podcast where I talk about climate change and the environment at large , Most time I invite people in the environment sector to come share their knowledge on how best we can curb the drastic effect of climate change .Atlest this podcast would enlightened most adults on the environment and climate change . I will like to take my advocacy to another level which includes forming eco clubs in schools and monitor their activities closely, pushing for climate education to be incorporated into the school curriculum and also creating some environmental programs once a while like community tree planting and sensitisation, open defecation campaigns, waste recycling sensitisation to raise awareness in the community about climate change and how best the environment can be protected individually. I will like to attend this conference so I can network and discuss with great minds on how to make power contributions to the only one earth we must protect. If Selected,After the summit,I will come back to my home country and start making a change according to the dialogues agreed on.

African youths and kids are interested in but alienated from space exploration and research because there isn't enough access to information about the sector, professionals to train them, and telescopes/other devices to take action with. Space Bar is positioned to be Lagos’ first space observatory with a vision to pioneer the conversation about space science, research, and exploration. We understand that the foundation of technology and science today was majorly kicked off by Galileo looking through a telescope and believe that we can apply the same principles to trigger and disrupt the narrative in Africa which has been silent for a while. We seek to offer everyone an opportunity to walk in and experience the use of telescopes, stay overnight, rent one, use VR cubicles and in the long run set up a space-themed library for the next generation of enthusiasts.

My view about climate mobility given the varied disciplinary backgrounds of climate migration researchers from geography, economics, and demography to environmental and computer science the opportunities to engage deeply with migration theory are often overlooked in favor of focusing on data and methods, The climate crisis has sparked a crisis of mobility: Around the world, in 2019 alone, some millions of people were involuntarily displaced by weather-related disasters. That dwarfs more than 8 million people displaced by the factors we so often associate with migration and displacement conflict & violence.

Bringing forward the experience and passion I have attained in different fora of climate action and mobility, innovation, voicing youth voices and inspiring action to fight against the most devastating crisis of our time (Climate change), am motivated to apply for the ACMI youth forum delegate for COP27 for reasons stated below; Firstly, my engagement with youth climate lab as a research activate and deepen fellow has helped me build a great climate space and profound knowledge and understanding of the sustainable development goals most especially the SDG 6 and 13 and this has spurred my enthusiasm to innovate and help youth develop radical collaboration skills that enable them to create transformative actions that address the gaps to achieving climate justice, granted the opportunity to participate at COP27 am hopeful to connect and learn with likeminded youth and resourceful professionals in the field of climate activism that will help me inspire action among youth in my country. Secondly, am motivated as a young climate activist to tender my interest for this position for I consider it as an opportunity for me to make a contribution towards the fight against climate change in my mother continent Africa by joining likeminded youth across the continent to mobilise young people across the continent being cognisant that climate change has elevated the levels of uncertainty about the future of the continent most especially for our generation of the young people and generations after us. Am also inspired to vividly understand the challenges and opportunities that the necessary transition to low carbon growth entails a concern usually discussed in global convening like COP27, joining the global dialogue will be a milestone in my climate activism journey. Thirdly, I desire for the generation after me to live in a planet that is not threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet and I envision my participation in the COP27 to enlighten my dream and spur my enthusiasm in igniting the climate conversation among the young people.

602	Edwin	Okumu			I am an environmentalist who is much interested in environmental matters that concern the African livelihoods. Having studied geography and environment in the university, am much familiar with the topic of climate mobility and livelihood systems, mitigation strategies and concerns of health of lives on earth. My fieldwork during studies at the university of Nairobi was at the Coast of Kenya and was about how climate change affect the people at the Coast and the mitigation strategies to combat the problem. During my studies at the Coast, I understood that climate mobility effects are not as harsh as the arid and semi arid areas.	Climate has been varying from time to time in decades. Africans countries should take the problems of climate change and mobility into much consideration to save lives. People living in the ASAL areas are much vulnerable to harsh climatic conditions which include scarsity of water and food hence mulnuteition and sometimes death. Climate mobility will still be experienced and much consideration should be the strategies to combat the effects of climate change. This is according to my studies in the northern Coast of Kenya during my fieldwork. I am applying to become an ACMI youth forum delegate so as to share my views and thoughts concerning climate mobility and also to learn much about the same topic.

As a highly skilled Civic Leadership and Youth Education Expert, Social Worker and Community Mobilizer. The preoccupations and problems facing nations in the World concerning Climate Chnage is a call for concern especially on aspects like good adaptive programs that can harness the potential of mobility in the context of the climate crisis, as well as to address climate-forced displacement and migration. But it is also important to ensure the resilience of communities affected by climate change. Thus, my motivation springs from the fact that as a Youth Educator, i have been working on SDGs 4, 6 and 17 wherein we have engaged Secondary and University Students in creating SDG Clubs across the country. This has gone a long way in also engaging other Youths and Community Leaders on the importance of SDGs and accelerating its achievement by 2030.

604	Gergino	Chounna Yemele	GROUNDWATER YOUTH NETWORK		Young and passionate Environmental Engineer and Scientist interested in Research for Development in order to promote sustainable development with focus on hydrogeochemical dynamics of elements and groundwater. My recent research work focused on the use of interactions between rocks, water, soil and plants (hydrogeochemical approach) to solve the problem of low crops yields in Northern Cameroon agricultural watersheds, by explaining how elements that are nutrients to plants are formed or generated from the rocks, mobilised by water from the soil to plants and their distribution in the soil horizons within sedimentary and igneous agricultural watersheds. I am passionate in communicating science to non-scientists and youths, and as such, I periodically participate in conferences, environmental education, workshops and online program for young scientists. My contribution in promoting sustainable development has produced laudable results and I believe I still have much to offer. In recognition of my effort in promoting sustainable development, I was awarded the honor of Green Ambassador for Climate Change in Africa-2020, and Ambassadors of Sustainability. I am currently a volunteer for The Groundwater Project, and an executive member of UNESCO Groundwater Youth Network, where I represent Rural Water Supply Network for young professional (RWSN), an international network of 14 694 people from 167 countries. Committed to create a better world, I have participated in numerous society activities and professional development programs important to gain knowledge, experience, network and share my own vision. Some of these programs include Elevate Professional Development Fellow 2021/2022, World Youth Forum 2021 Fellow in Sharm El Sheik Egypt, E-Mentoring Professional Development program on promoting Professionalism and Networking 2022 Fellow, Young African Landscape Leadership Program 2022 Fellow, SAVVY Fellowship Program Fellow, 1st cohort of CWW Tech Africa Program on data analysis. Contributor to the UNESCO-2020 Extended Abstract volume Youth and Water Security in Africa: Impacts of Human Activities on Urban Lake in West Cameroon; Case of Dschang Municipal Lake.	COP 27 appears to me as an opportunity to meet young people and aspiring leaders from different cultural diversity and with innovative ideals to promote global sustainability. Climate change is one of the main challenges of our century and our duty is to create sustainable adaptative solutions to mitigate its impacts. As an environmental engineer, attaining COP27 and share my voice is a unique opportunity for me, taking into considerations that this voice will be heard by thousands of delegates present at the summit, and they will eventually share their experiences with their respective communities. I will like to collaborate with other environmental passionate. Eventually, the knowledge and experience gain during COP27 will be share in community in the form of climate actions and climate educations through workshops, conferences and open environmental days. We youths of Africa are aware of the tremendous impacts of climate change in our farms, our water and in the air, we break every day, though Africa contributes less. It is also an opportunity for me to build my professional network at the era where globalization is more than ever. I believe that meeting and discussing with new people is always an opportunity to learn on yourself, on others and it opens to new perspectives. At the era of global crisis, we urgently need to work together with people from all over the world and COP 27 Summit creates that world of cultural diversity, inclusion and common goal that we youth of today need for tomorrow.

My previous experience has prepared me well to be an ACM Youth Innovation Fellow. Because, I intend to further my studies focusing on exploring the impact of climate change on the mental health of various categories of women in rural Africa. As an ACM Youth Innovation Fellow, l can explore this framing initiative deriving from the standpoint that, woman, in comparison to men, are asymmetrically affected by climate change; women are often left out in the climate change decision-making processes and they face the key effects of climate change because of their main roles as care-givers, food producers, and their substantial dependence on climatic-savaged natural resources which further affects their mental health. Climate change-related stressors on rural women has led many to experience anxiety, insomnia, depression and other related emotional distress and psychiatric disorders because they largely depend on the environment and agrarian activities in the country side. The theory of change for me to be an ACM Youth Innovation Fellow is premised on developing and testing new frames through research, in order to increase understanding on key audiences on the state rural mental health which is induced from the negative impacts of climate change. In addition, the inquiry process also has a movement-building component aiming at aligning different groups and organizations on the strategy and direction- setting agenda of improving availability, access and acceptability of mental health services in rural areas through a multi-layered, inclusive approaches interventions at personal, systems and environmental level in creating a health society. Additionally, an ACM Youth Innovation Fellow I will become a Young Negotiator on Climate Change. This will increase my understanding how climate change affect women and young people in the broader context of rural development discourse, patriarchal settings and intersectionality studies. Developing frames, insights and establishing direction-setting pathways through espousing how nature and men is creating systems of oppression which intersect to leave particular groups of people (rural women and young people) more vulnerable and susceptible to compound inequalities. Additionally, the footprints of unequal development from colonial times which have percolated into post-colonial Zimbabwe have a huge impact on the livelihoods and the state of rural communities in the face of climate change, further weakening resilience and capabilities models of key populations. And, the trajectory needs to be reversed through negotiations with relevant partners or actors. Additionally, as a negotiator l intend to facilitate movement-building of key audiences (groups and organizations) in the context of making sustainable green revolution initiatives an issue of interest which addresses issues of 3Ds (Deception, Deflection and Deceiving) in climate change issues, smart-effective-efficient handling of disasters and hazards, sustainability reporting, and global climate governance (Environment, society and Governance (ESG).

I have used my skills and experience to champion climate-centric polices that will benefit women and marginalised groups. I am passionate about climate change and have leveraged my research and communication skills to advocate for policies to stakeholders across Cameroon, Senegal, Nigeria and Chad to name a few.	Poverty is linked to climate and while Africa is the least contributor to climate change, It is the most exposed continents. In a continent where over 60% of informal workers are employed in the agriculture sector, extreme climate events will adversely impact marginalised and poorer segments of the population even more. I hope to contribute towards improving Africa's climate preparedness and enable us to successfully prepare for a more resilient future. As an economist, I have been privileged to lead high-level trade working groups and got first-hand knowledge on the impact of climate change from civil-society organisations and how we can measure the findings from research against real-world experiences. This made me even more passionate about climate policy and its impact on trade and economic development. Thirdly, the values and opportunity for contributing to policy are unparalleled for youths.

Land degradation is one of the major contributors to climate change. This is driven by factors such as population growth, urbanization and transportation. Population growth in Africa is estimated to grow in the coming years and there will be a demand for growth of infrastructure. As a construction project manager who is passionate about green building, being an ACMI youth forum delegate will enable me to have a chance to be on the forefront to engage with like-minded youth on the possibility of building environmentally sound buildings and using building processes that prevent land degradation. This opportunity will also enable to gain a variety of ideas regarding climate change strategies from different people with I will meet in this fellowship.

However, the strive for development in the continent is plagued with unsustainable development methods that have adversely affect the environment, climate change and global warming. thus the need to regulate or control agricultural techniques and industrial development that are not climate friendly. several actors continue to clamour or fight against climate change. Be it states as primary actors, to private bodies, civil society organizations and international organizations, their efforts have not yielded expected results. thus, the is need for efforts to be made individually such as sustainable household waste management and disposal to community initiatives. COP27 is a forum where by participants which gain contemporary strategies on fighting climate change or protecting the environment to avoid the effects of climate change and global warming. it is a forum whereby actors in research such as myself and my organization is going to create networks to promote efforts taken at national and international level to eradicate climate change. More so, the need to gather critical skills that will help me advocate for environmental sustainability and justice .

She withholds practical skills in drawing/painting; social media; local and international advocacies; project designing and implementation; community mobilisation and public speaking in front of multicultural, local, national and international audiences. Divina is an advocate of inter-generational dialogue and diversity . And she is fruitfully engaged for the full internalization of UNSCR 2250 and 1325, the UN Conventions on the rights of the Child and Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. She is committed for inclusive governance and (vulnerable) children participation in peace-building and sustainable development goals. She consistently works to democratize public sphere for more political and economic expression of children and girls in public policies. She works in front-line of human rights work in conditions hostile to fundamental human rights in risky conditions and environments “defying” the patriarchal system. She works with communities (especially conflictual); religious and traditional leaders; refugees and IDPs children, street children, orphans due to conflicts, students; governments and local authorities mobilizing them in community-based peace-building and gender equity activities; engaging them against identity-based differences to find altogether approaches to dealing with conflict in their communities. She has been accompanying several children in the organization of field activities. She has launched and has been implementing several nation-wide projects as the elaboration and implementation of Children declaration against violent extremism and radicalisation; the drafting of children declaration against violent extremism and radicalization; awareness raising campaigns for children and girls’ rights and peacebuilding in schools, market places; creation/production of Children Peace Cartoons; capacity building workshops; set up and operationalization of children peace clubs in schools, mosques and communities; realization of documentaries on peacebuilding and children/girls’ rights; Life skills/values and social/moral support to affected girls and children in conflictual/returnee and host communities;	During my involvement in civil society, I have been in several countries and Sahelian areas where i have experienced the impact of environmental degradation for nuclear energy/weapons production on indigenous communities. I would like to become an ACMI Youth Forum for COP27 to share my experience regarding these issues and particularly climate mobility. In fact, one thing that touched me in several countries is the perverse impacts and effects of timber and mineral exploitation companies on nature and on the life of many communities. As these countries face poverty, the exploitation of natural essences is seen by several governments as a blessing and naturally many of them strongly support these activities openly or not. These mining companies generally from Europe, Asia, America and Australia are known for their lack of enthusiasm for the environment. Their policy is to exploit the fossil deposit at the lowest cost and often to the detriment of the indigenous populations to produce nuclear energy or weapons. Several governments issue them operating permits in a non-transparent manner, thereby opening the door to health, humanitarian and environmental disasters. In many cases, I have seen many indigenous communities forced to leave their ancestral lands (to make way for these natural resource companies), losing thereby their land, their wells, their traditional way of life, their culture, their means of existence and subsistence. The exploitation of natural resources is accompanied by serious pollution, judging by the effects already observed in several areas where these companies operate. As a result of this operation, the water distributed in these areas is not drinkable and the epidemiological state is deplorable. This social problem is becoming a nightmare for people with the new "mineral rush". In several communities, there is a problem with plastic waste management resulting in air pollution. Children and girls do not always have access to drinking water, sanitation and hygiene services (WASH). In many villages, girls and women walk long distances to collect portable water for cooking and drinking. As they collect water, many are kidnapped, recruited by armed groups and forced into forced marriages. In many communities, young people have been struggling to survive not only because of the contamination of their food sources, air and water pollution that cause diseases such as cancer. To address these issues, Children for Peace, my organization, in partnership with some NGOs has engaged several communities and civil society organizations in conversations about climate change, water scarcity, exploitation of natural resources, energy/nuclear weapons, and their negative consequences in regards of peacebuilding, and migration. At the national and local level, Children for Peace implements diversified humanitarian projects and activities geared towards climate change, peace consolidation, among which campaigns for nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament as part of the global Move the Nuclear Money campaign in partnership with UNFOLD ZERO and abolition 2000. It has helped to involve and engage girls through videos, cartoons, memes production, community sensitization and advocacy in the implementation of the global ceasefire fire launched by the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

629	Everisto	Phiri	Ministry of Education - Ngabwe District	Person	I'm Everisto Phiri, aged 40 and married with 5 lovely children. I'm a teacher by profession but now working as Education Standards Officer - General Inspection in Ngabwe. I love nature and so preserving nature is one of my hobbies. Climate change today has really affected us because it has disturbed a lot of things which include rain patterns among other things. One of the mitigation factors are planting trees in areas where trees were cut due to charcoal burning. However, the sensitization process hasn't been done well in Zambia mainly because government has not yet come up with alternative measures for the charcoal burners. These people have no jobs and so they need money for survival. As a result, they cut down tree and involve themeslves in burning charcoal. In addition, the high rates of electricity have also made the demand for charcoal to be high. So the process is almost impossible to curb. However, we need to continue sensitizing the communities. "Together we can make a big difference".	My motivation is coming from my background as a teacher of Geography. The subject clearly states the advantages and disadvantages of cutting down trees and charcoal burning. Therefore, my participation in this program will enable me to develop more knowledge on the consequences of cutting down trees and that would make it easier for me to even convince mum and dad as well the entire family and friends to behave themselves and preserve nature. As a senior youth and managing teachers at district level will enable me to have a good command in the area.

He has founded many youth projects and programs that still contribute to the development of youth capacities in Algeria, and at the regional levels both in the MENA and Africa regions. Mr. Arif is a graduate of the National School of Administration. In 2014 he founded the International Organizations’ Simulation Program known as "AlgeriaMUN", he was also; the first Pan-African Youth Union’s Commissioner for Peace and Security, A Youth Ambassador at the Arab Thought Foundation, and a Consultant on Youth Agendas with distinguished international organizations. In these capacities, he organized several training sessions and study days on youth participation in decision-making, leadership, management, communication and negotiation strategies on topics related to the prosperity of our young generation. He participated in several high-level forums and consultations on youth, for example, he chaired the Foreign Affairs Committee of the European-African Youth Parliament – which was held in Berlin, Germany. Additionally, he contributed to the high-level discussions organized by the United Nations Security Council on youth peace and Security in the Arab States region, where he shared the conflict prevention approach towards combating violence and extremism, in Amman, Jordan. Among the projects, he worked on was the revival of the Supreme Council of Algerian Youth and the African Network of Youth Peace Focal Points.

ARIF is constantly undertaking the mobilization and awareness of youth towards creating a better future for themselves where they can explore and develop their capacities. His continuous engagements demonstrate his high level of commitment to building a brighter future for Tomorrow’s Youth Leaders.	I believe my natural motivation for societies’ development agenda, and dialogue diversity grows in me since 2006. At a very young age, I have been actively involved in civic activities, firstly I started by volunteering with associations located in my city and its surrounding areas, which led me in 2011 to found with my peers the Oran local youth chapter of an International association, where we’ve hosted international exchange youth participants to learn from their skills, organized induction days about economy and its impacts on the environment and climate change, such events full of enriching discussions helped in shaping the thoughts on our participants and to get wider knowledge about the importance of climate change in our daily lives and on the lives of the future generations . Additionally, in the scope of investing in youth capacities, I founded in 2014 an extracurricular educational program known as ‘#AlgeriaMUN’ where we’ve trained up to date over 3100 Algerian youth on soft skills such as; leadership, interpersonal communication, public speaking, negotiations, and policy analysis. This program is considered nowadays as one of the grassroots that helped and contributed to amplifying the youth voices through the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) back then, and nowadays through using the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda as a transnational approach. Moreover, I have also taken part in the organization of several international youth exchange programs, conferences, and seminars such as chairing the foreign affairs committee at the 1st Euro African Youth Parliament that was organized in Berlin, 2014, in this capacity my role was to bring together youth leaders from both continents and engage them to discuss AU-EU bilateral topics such as the future of the AgriBusiness and help them structure their thoughts through drafting working resolutions which were successfully submitted to the AU-EU Summit leaders, additionally, I took part of the United Nations Security Council High-Level Consultations on Youth Peace, and Security (YPS), Resolution N° 2250(2015), in Jordan, that grouped diplomats and young leaders from the Arab region, during which I led the youth peace advocacy group, and participated in moderating discussions. In this wake, after a competitive selection process, I was both deeply honored and humbled to broaden Youth engagements in Africa as the 1st Pan African Youth Union Commissioner for Peace and Security, where I’ve successfully established a network of African youth peace focal points that strategized key document to move forward the YPS agenda with our partners at the African Union. In 2019, before the COVID-Pandemic, I was convened by the Islamic Cooperation Youth Forum (ICYF) as a keynote speaker on “Youth and sustainable development” during which, I humbly received a recognition award for my engagements as one of the top 10 youth empowering leaders in the Arab world. That’s why, I strongly do believe aligning my profile’s qualifications with the ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 is an extraordinary opportunity to grow, interact and learn from experts and peers of young change-makers coming from diverse professional backgrounds. In the end, I would like to point out that if I’m selected, rest assured that I’m highly determined to make the best out of my participation in this summit a successful one and to also transfer the knowledge gained to empower my fellow youth leaders.

I'm the CEO of this company and thrives to update and develop my future career especially in the training industry, so this kind of great opportunity could help me to achieve my future goals specifically on ''leadership skill'' components. some of my experiences: work experience: * I’m currently working my part-time job as Data Enumerator at First Consult, I'm developing and improving my interpersonal skill, communication skill, and research skill. * I was the lead co-facilitator on the National Youth Voluntary Community Service program (NYVCS) which was initially initiated by the Ministry of Peace & VSO Ethiopia, during this event in Jigjiga University I did accomplish my primary tasks like facilitating the trainees, coordinating with VSO main office and MoP offices in Addis Ababa. thanks to this great event I've developed my leadership skill, communication skills, management, and organizing skill, and adaptability to the harsh environment. and I was a construction Manager at Axis Finishing Works plc. during my stay at Axis Finishing Works, I was site manager on different construction sites located in Addis Ababa, my primary task was scheduling the different construction work activities, supervising, and managing. and I've developed some skills like time management, prioritizing, leadership, and planning skills. * I'm also involved in as a rotary member to be inducted this year at Rotary Club of Addis Ababa Enderasse : which is involved several social based voluntary services for instance - public toilet for the community - blood donation - Eye glass donation for the children with sight defects - material donation for local hospitals * last but not the least I'm also involved as a volunteer at Drop of Water which is basically involved in building water infrastructures for the rural communities. thank you for this great opportunity, time and consideration. you can check from my LinkedIn profile if you need anything else * ( https://linkedin.com/in/chalacheworku )	Hereby I wish to apply for the ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 Hello everyone, I'm chalachew worku from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Currently, I'm involved in some professional and voluntary services: I'm the CEO of our own company called “Sekela Training and Assessment” which provides personal development trainer services, especially for youths in different areas such as employability skills and entrepreneurship, leadership skills, and voluntary community service and it benefits also active citizens and so on, I've also been involved (as a board member and co-founder) on a certain local CSO "Positive Peace for Ethiopia" Initially the idea came from youth peace ambassadors of Ethiopia 2021, gathered to do some voluntary activities like Green Legacy & Blood Donation but this wasn't enough for us, so we decide to do more engaging activities like training youngsters basically on the areas of how to ensure and promote sustainable & positive peace in a community level, how to develop voluntary community service and its importance and how to become an active citizen. to go with this, becoming a certified civic society organization (CSO) was the primary task fortunately we are now officially registered as a legal CSO which has 7 Board members (including me), and with additional more than 123 active members and we are ready to go! I want to involve in this international gathering fro climate because I want to change my career path.

My goal in life is to be useful to others, for me that is the ultimate success. I engage to become useful, to develop skills that others need. Learning business management and administration will make me useful to many. Managing and administration are meta-skills, and people will always need them. Learning them gives me options.

I consider myself to be part of COP 27, to be the best move I can do for my career, and I am extremely motivated to pursue this great opportunity. I want to be useful, especially for this mission of "Climate-related Initiatives," as most African nations, particularly sub-Saharan nations like Ethiopia, need some strong movement on such initiatives.

I am also working on raising awareness on intersectionality of physical and mental health and climate change.	Together with the organization I cofound we’re working with people displaced by floods and landslides in western Uganda currently living in IDP camps. My experience with climate displaced people has deepened my passion of amplifying their voices to a responsibility i am obliged to deliver and demand for justifiable and meaningful action towards the people on the frontlines. In our ongoing project with these displaced people we have identified common problems affecting climate displaced people and have categorized them into; Food insecurity Mental health issues Poverty Housing. We have also programs tailored to address these problems which have taken on an easy start because of our limited capacity but results are very much positive and we hope with enough support we shall be able to replicate this project to other climate displaced people camps in Uganda because displacements due to climate are on the rise! My motivations for becoming a delegate is to bring voices of climate displaced people on the discussion tables, I also want to share our sustainable support system approach of supporting people who have been displaced by climate disasters as opposed to relief support systems by most governments and other support organizations. I also believe that climate displacements and climate refugees is the most rapidly growing global problem yet it’s rarely talked about in these discussions like at COP and if we have to talk about it let people like me and others with ground experience be the representatives our people because we understand the how people are affected! From my experience and professional lenses climate displacements have huge physical and mental health challenges they impose to victims therefore I want to bridge that gap and represent and raise these issues I have experienced in the camps to fellow delegates and decision makers. From my experience i also want to represent my people and raise how climate mobility and displacements affected livelihoods and human rights of the people and also share our tailored solutions to these challenges that we have come up with together with the communities we’re working with and they’re seeming to be on the right track!

Climate change has become a crucial public and political issue in our world today, as it affects many aspects of our lives, the fate of our planet and the future of humanity thereof. Tackling climate change and transitioning requires individual, non governmental and governmental organizations action. Nigeria is predisposed to severe negative impacts of climate change due to it's fragile economy, low adaptive capacity, as much of our economy is dependent on climate sensitive ecosystems and natural resources. Due to the climate change Nigeria is facing a wide range of environmental and socio-economic challenges of which inflation and repossession is the order of the day and this is associated with growing youth unemployment, high cost of living and corruption, all these are creating a clog on the nation's development. It is for this reason a lot of unemployed youths and families migrate to other places and countries in search of life and not survival.

It would be a great privilege to be one of the delegates of the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum at COP 27 in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt. I’ve always been an advocate for climate mobility since high school when I was the Environmental Prefect and I really got interested when I studied the previous Kyoto Protocol and Paris Agreement. Being a delegate at COP 27 under the ACMI Youth Forum would enable me to learn more about climate impacts and mobility not only in my country, Nigeria but also in the rest of Africa. What motivates my climate mobility is how the climate impact has been a great risk in Nigeria and how creating more awareness of climate mobility would help curb these risks. Nigeria's climate is changing rapidly, as evidenced by rising temperatures, fluctuating rainfall, rising sea levels, flooding, drought, desertification, land degradation, more frequent extreme weather events, decreasing freshwater resources, and biodiversity loss. This change in climate has affected various sectors, from the energy sector to the agriculture sector, health sector, economic sector, and security sector. i. Energy Sector Climate impacts have a major effect on hydroelectric and thermal generation in Nigeria. As a result of climate impacts, low rainfall has affected the hydroelectric output. Higher rainfall has also caused damage to transmission lines and substation equipment. ii. Agriculture Sector As a result of climate impacts, increased temperatures, less rainfall, droughts, and desertification have reduced agricultural output. Increased rainfall intensity in the coastal zone, sea level rise, flooding, and crop degradation have also reduced the agricultural output in Nigeria. A literal example is a current flood occurring at River Niger and River Benue, this flood has destroyed various farmlands in Nigeria. iii. Health Sector Climate impacts on the health sector in Nigeria have direct and indirect consequences. Direct consequences are extreme weather occurrences, such as heat waves and depletion of the ozone layer, which releases UV rays to humans. Indirect consequences includes malnutrition, which is caused by food shortages. iv. Economic Sector Given the significance of agriculture to Nigerian livelihoods and the economy, difficulties with crop yields and productivity have a negative impact on GDP. Furthermore, extreme weather disasters, such as floods, have stifled economic growth by causing production and infrastructure losses, as well as the requirement for emergency spending. v. Security Sector Climate impacts have posed threats to the security situation in Nigeria through conflict over resources. Desert encroachment and dwindling vegetation and grazing resources in the north have spurred a huge migration of people to places less vulnerable to desertification. This has resulted in fights between herders and farmers, as well as inter-ethnic clashes, some of which have been deadly. In conclusion, due to my passion for climate mobility, I encourage Nigerians and other people of Africa to decrease or stop carbon emissions by concentrating more on renewable energy development, practicing reforestation, and implementing sustainable lifestyle choices that can help to mitigate climate impacts.

644	Issa Boukary	Maman Nasser	GIZ/ NIGER	www.giz.de	I am Water and Sanitation Engineer,graduated in January 2019 at the International Institute for Water and Environmental Engineering (2iE) and currently employed by the German Cooperation (PromAP / GIZ-NIGER) as a Technical advisor in charge of piezometric monitoring and sustainable land management (SLM) activities. Regarding many challenges that Africa is facing included in water, sanitation and environment sector,I have chosen to focus my career on this area which is primordial for the survival of people. Africa needs engineers, especially those working in this sector to ensure access to safe drinking water for hygiene and sanitation; water and sanitation are sectors for which people's expectations are enormous and having quality human resources in these areas is an absolute necessity. It is therefore an essential part, and my objective is to contribute by sensitizing the populations on the importance of hygiene and sanitation and to contribute through advocay to ensure that people get their right of having access to clean water and adequate sanitation. In addition, I mobilized young people several times in the past for collective health sessions in the public squares on behalf of the initiative"Niamey la coquette"of which I was raised to the rank of Ambassador by the President of the Council of city.	I am a Water and Sanitation Engineer since January 2019 and currently employed by the German Cooperation (PromAP / GIZ-NIGER) as a Technical Assistant in charge of piezometric monitoring and sustainable land management (SLM) activities. Indeed, I hold a Master 2-degree, specialty Water and Sanitation at the International Institute of Water and Environmental Engineering (2iE). The training I was given focuses on drinking water treatment, sanitation, climate change, project development and management, environmental assessment and sustainable development techniques, analytical techniques for water, in membrane processes, in water and soil pollution, in environmental management, environmental impact study, microbiology, ecology, to name a few, my ability to adapt to new situations , my motivation and my dynamism will undoubtedly benefit this program, in addition to the skills that I am in the process of consolidating through my current position, in progress, pursuing practically the same objectives as this program. My academic knowledge is also supported by internships that I have done in different companies and laboratories and training on: • Leadership, quality, safety, health and environment (QHSE) management • Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). • NEXUS Water-Energy Food-Habitat, Sustain-Eng; Climate Change * Health/Food Nutrition and Food Safety. My current work is focused on reclaiming degraded land and preserving the environment. This is therefore what aroused my desire to apply for this call for applications and working with a dynamic team of engineers from various backgrounds seems to me the ideal framework. Also, in view of the enormous environmental challenges in most African countries, careful reflection deserves to be carried out to alleviate this scourge and provide concrete response strategies. Hence the need to put in place quality human resources to alleviate and overcome the suffering endured by the populations.

This conviction drives her to continuously run empowerment programs aimed to equip youth, especially women, to succeed in entrepreneurship, leadership, and social activities by providing access to business trainings, job opportunities, and financial education. Knowing that the future is very much digital, she saw a need to cater to the huge demand for digital skills in Tanzania's education and thus established the 1st ever Digital School in Tanzania- The Assumpter Digital Schools (ADS) which aims to connect African communities through digital education. As the director of ADS, her vision is to raise a generation that is conversant with the digital world and that is able to apply digital skills to bring a positive impact in the society. To inspire young people to take on a collective growth journey with her, Ms. Mshama also founded an NGO by the name “Nakua Na Taifa Langu” which translates to “Growing With My Country”. She believes that the NGO is a vehicle to raise patriotic and competent Tanzanian youth who desire to see change in both their lives and their nation.	I wish to join the ACMI youth forum delegate because i believe with my experience and relation with global development partners , community and policy makers (our leaders) i stand a better chance to be able to Build a common Agenda for Action that distills knowledge into clear policy priorities for the next decade and milestones for action at various levels of governance.Mobilize international partners and relevant stakeholders around the Agenda for Action. Establish a continent-wide Community of Practice that networks change agents to further the goals of the Youth climate action and advance the implementation of the Agenda for Action of Climate Change. Establish dedicated Youth and Women Forums to inform the People on work and drive common advocacy and action as integral parts of the Community of Practice. The challenge for youth participation in climate adaptation is to Promote strategic partnerships by establishing an Accelerator for Action that pools resources for implementing the Agenda for Action of climate cross, addressing the risks and harnessing the opportunities that climate mobility presents for the African continent. To solve this is to create a pool of funds that promote youth activities, especially in Entrepreneurship that can be environmentally friendly projects that don’t affect our planet.

647	Ebrima	Jonga	Department of parks and wildlife management, The Gambia	https://www.accessgambia.com/information/parks-wildlife-department.html	I am Ebrima Jonga, a young, healthy Gambian 24 years old. I completed my senior secondary level at Brikama Methodist Senior Secondary School in 2017 and obtained outstanding results. I am in my fourth year as an international student pursuing an undergraduate degree in public administration at Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta, Indonesia. I was an intern of the Department of Parks and Wildlife Management, an institution responsible for the conservation and management of the country's biodiversity. I was stationed at Abuko Nature Reserve working with ranger to ensure effective conservation of the Reserve. I involved in research, education and tourism programs that form the Core areas of conservation activities in the reserve which, i demonstrates professional skill. I expect to continue to improve significantly in both personal and professional aspects. Personally, I hope to continue to live a decent, happy, and healthy life and be a responsible and caring person. I shall therefore continue to contribute effectively and efficiently to the advancement of communities and vulnerable groups and have a positive impact on the socio-economic status of residents. In my professional sphere, I intend to continue to build on my career by achieving academic excellence, gathering solid experience, expertise, knowledge, and skills in public administration, management studies, strategic communications, local government and development, and other related fields of study to enable me to execute my functions as diligently at work I will continue to consolidate the networking gains of the organization and will engage in vigorous networking to bring on board certified and proven stakeholders to collaborate in the identification, planning, funding, and implementation of community demand-driven projects with the objectives of complementing and supporting the efforts of the government in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a United Nations Initiative, Vision, and Poverty Reduction Strategy through the implementation of strategies to end poverty, promote gender equality and empower women, ensure environmental sustainability, and improve health.	From 2012-2014, as a student while at Sinchu Njabo Junior Secondary School in the North Bank Region of the Republic of The Gambia, I served as a dedicated member of Peer Health Educators and held the position of public relations officer of the group. Over the period under review, together with my team, I have laid the foundation of a series of worthwhile initiatives that achieved considerable success, which has positively impacted on the livelihoods and health conditions of gross root communities within the jurisdiction of our coverage. Firstly, as a fundamental achievement, our group has launched a malaria awareness and prevention campaign with other key stakeholders in the health sector from 2015 to 2017 with the intention of raising the awareness level of the public in order to fight against this deadly disease in our communities. Fighting against malaria has accounted for the majority of infant deaths in our communities, and therefore, fighting against it becomes a collective responsibility. We held the view that malaria is preventable and we ended up saving thousands of lives, including children, by embarking on a door-to-door household campaign. In a related drive, I and my colleagues have partnered with the regional health directorate to distribute bed nets to households as a tool to prevent malaria. Those campaigns have fundamentally made a remarkable difference in the fight against malaria at a regional level. Today, malaria related deaths, particularly infant mortality rates, have dropped significantly. Additionally, in close collaboration with the regional health directorate, I have led a vigorous blood donation campaign in order to ensure there is enough blood for patients in times of critical moments at the only health post serving a population of 115,318 households, according to officials of the health facility. I have also played a key role as public relations officer of the Peer Health Educators in providing first aid training and training on fire safety aids to pupils in about eleven primary schools and the local population in collaboration with personnel of the Gambia Fire & Rescue Service. The aims of these outreach programs are meant to equip the above beneficiaries with the prerequisite first aid and fire safety and prevention techniques in a bid to reduce the high rate of frequent outbreaks of fire in communities. Finally, as part of our social responsibility, we have held a series of monthly cleansing exercises in partnership with regional municipal authorities in public places such as markets, health centers, and schools. These activities have greatly contributed to improving the hygiene of the environment, reducing the risk of diseases related to indiscriminate waste disposal in public places and helping compliment the efforts of the municipal authorities to ensure proper environmental sanitation and hygiene, amongst other health benefits.

Being from the motherland comes with a sense of pride that I wear proudly like a crown. After all my adventures that my studies took me on as I was pursing my Bachelors in Culinary Arts in Switzerland, I knew that all roads led back to my motherland and that is where my passion for sustainability actualized. My love for Mother Earth and constant appreciation of the synergy between all the life forms around us led to the birth of 25SW4P. I take great pride in being the founder and Director of such a reputable company. I found a way in which I can do my part to take care of the earth that continues to take care of us in each and every way, the same earth that will take care of the ones after us. My greatest goal is to be self sustainable with my own farms, crops and produce and this of course would be in a completely self sufficient neighborhood filled with like-minded individuals. My values: Honesty, Transparency, Mindfulness, Responsibility, Accountability.	As a female and youth invested in the current state and future of our Mother Earth, I believe it is important to hear what policy makers have to say and report about our current situation and the potential of our future. I believe listening to and conversing with like-minded people from around the world is a beautiful opportunity to learn as well as add value in our home countries. For me especially, I would like to fully immerse myself into gaining more knowledge and networks so as to take my company (25SW4P) to a whole new level. To lead my team with the integrity that can shape the lives and futures of all those involved in out company and those that walk through our doors. I believe it is one thing to be passionate about Climate change and sustainability, it is another thing to be plunged into the world of policy making and governing laws. COP sessions are one where we can come up with creative , relatable and value-driven solutions to climate change.

660	Abdulhadi	Abubakar Umar	Vision Media Services (Vision FM Kano, Farinwata TV)	www.visionfm.ng	As a young child, I was obsessed with Listening to Radio. I spent hours noting how they present the news and other programs. I would then waste the ink of my pen writing down scripts, and present it in front of my peers to test my capability. I decided to become a journalist. As I grew up, not knowing mass communication is not science, my school bought a science school examination form freely for their best three students (I happen to be one of them), we sat for the exam, and I was admitted into Day Science College, Kano. I was introduced to biochemistry through coincidence. My mind was set, I wanted to choose a field that had room for scientific research, and tell stories about environmental sustainability, then, as I researched the course further, I began to see the vast width of its application to my surroundings. I found myself as the best biochemistry student at level 200 and 400, but that can only lead me to second best student, during our graduation. This may be linked to my fully participation in the students unionism and leadership. My undergraduate Project, Effect of balanite aegyptiaca on Kidney and Liver function test and other Haematological parameters on albino wistar rat, which is on medical Biochemistry, was published in 2016. This time around, I chose Environmental Biochemistry at Masters Level, because it combines my passion for environmental concerns and scientific research, and today, this course is increasingly being used for the advantage of human beings. Finally I am working at Vision FM Radio, Nigeria, as a broadcast Journalist, covering reports on Climate Change, environmental toxicology, safety and sustainability.	I worked with Arewa24 Channel (renowned hausa Satellite TV), as a community reporter, where I did several reports on Climate Change, and it's negative effect in agriculture and security ( the conflict between Fulani Herders and Farmers in Zamfara, Katsina and Sokoto) Again early this year, I covered an activities of a non governmental organisation ( Africa Desertification Control Initiative ADCI ) where they plants thousands of Local Trees seedlings at Kano north local governments, to help them combat desertification. From that, I experienced that Africa in particular is facing serious challenges in the area of environmental degradation. The most important and prominent challenge facing Africa today is desertification and climate change. It has been practically observed that the desert is encroaching at a very alarming speed in most African countries. The most noticeable causal agents are climate change and human activities in form of indiscriminate felling of trees, bush burning, poor land management practices etc. The demand for energy and other human needs have made people go beyond the limit of exploiting forest resources. This consequently exposes the environment to agents of denudation like strong winds and running water which further degrade the environment and set the stage for desertification. Agricultural pesticides, Petrochemicals, and deteriorating environmental conditions: desertification and soil degradation of deforestation, which is highly related to farmers-herders conflict in Nigeria, as well as the bio-terrorism chemical contaminants accumulation, are the areas I usually covered. By attending this conference, I would be gotten an experience and in-depth knowledge on how to sensitize Northern Nigerian People on the effect of climate change. It will be also helpful in my academic masters theses.

Coordinating the Circular Economy project called “Dennakuwo” which aims at improving public health, reducing pollution, and promoting a circular economy in The Gambia, gave me a thorough integration into the waste management and climate change sector. Setting up sustainable waste and recycling practices and supporting livelihoods and innovation that can contribute to the national green recovery strategy has been a fruitful yet rewarding task. Currently, I have contributed significantly building a network of stakeholders critical to solving Gambia’s waste crisis. The transition to the low-carbon economy is underway, spurred by the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals. There are opportunities and need for investment in sectors like renewable energy, deploying innovative low-carbon technologies, sustainably sourcing resources, working on innovative and transformative solutions, and more. My motivation is to participate in discussions on strategies and plans for climate action in West Africa and specifically in The Gambia. Leveraging on my business background and work experience in supporting innovation and improved livelihoods through waste reduction initiatives, I'm looking forward to network with similar organisations to wasteaid, exchange and share ideas on topics like deforestation, reducing plastic waste and advocating for climate change and a green economy. Also, to learn more about supporting businesses going green.

669	Daisy	Jelagat	Youth for sustainable development nandi		My name is Daisy Jelagat and am 28years old.Am from Kenya,Nandi County Emgwen subcounty Kapsabet location. For the past year have been working as volunteer in a hospital and also a community volunteer working with youth,women and persons with disabilities in empowering them on matters health,disability inclusion,leadership and governance,climate change justice,social accountability and livelihoods I have a background experience in social work with a bachelor degree from Moi University. Am passionate about community engagement having worked as a volunteer for Voluntary Service Overseas Kenya in 2018-2020,Kenya Redcross Society and later became the chairperson of Youth for Sustainable Development Nandi Chapter a community based organization that works with young people,women,children and people living with disabilities by ensuring that their voices are heard in the community.	As a community volunteer working with young people in my community creating growing awareness that the adverse impacts of climate change that has increasingly contributed, directly and indirectly, to different forms of mobility that unfold within our community,country and across borders. On climate-related migration we identified the gaps focusing on adult populations, with emerging evidence that indicates that children also become uprooted and displaced due to climate change, or they are left behind when parents are compelled to move in search of livelihoods. There is an expanse of research on children and mobility, although not specifically framed as driven by climatic factors. This includes both children’s own mobility, as migrants or refugees, and the mobility of parents who leave children behind in their places of origin. This highlights the multiple risks children encounter during their journeys (e.g. violence, trafficking, forced labour, and other forms of exploitation) and the disadvantaged situation children find themselves in (e.g. high rates of school dropout, poor access to health care and other services), particularly when they move through unofficial and unsafe channels or as unaccompanied minors. These outcomes, in turn, can have lasting implications for children’s development and may reinforce and exacerbate their vulnerability and exposure to climate and other types of risks. My motivation to become ACMI is to learn and be able to gain more knowledge which will be my road map to advocate for policy development on the relationship between climate change and different forms of mobility and highlight the importance of language for shaping discourses about people on the move, and the role of such discourses in driving policy responses. The policy will reflect on the implications these may have for securing the rights and protection of adults and children moving in the context of climate change.

I hold bachelor degree in Education Senior Secondary from the university of Namibia. I am youth climate change activist participated in different programs in Germany under SUNi e.v on Sustainable Developments Goals mainly focusing on quality education and the effect of climate change globally.	I view this as a great opportunity to myself as a youth climate change activist in Namibia. I have encounter intense climate mobility in Namibia for the past few years namely in 2013 and 2018 were the country experienced a devastating drought in both years respectively in the northern part of the country due to climate change. People from the Northern part of the country had to migrate to new places around the country with their lives stock due to an intense drought that was in the areas. The area didn’t receive adequate rain for both periods, the heat was extreme it dried up all the rivers and there was no water accessibility for both the people and animals. Children were mainly affected as the have to dropout of school due to the drought they had to change location, crops died inhabitants didn’t have food to eat etc. The focus is on creating awareness on climate change especially in Namibia as activist I feel Namibians lack awareness on climate change and the green house effect at large. Given this opportunity to attend the forum it will be an advantage to me as activist for knowledge gaining, sharing my experience to the world and searching for opportunities on projects creation to aid on climate change awareness in Namibia. Recently I was selected by the African German Youth Organization to attend a networking workshop in Accra Ghana on climate change issues. I hope I will given the opportunity to attended the youth forum at COP27 to go share my insights on climate change mobilizing and the same time learn more on about it.

I as a Somali young citizen in a poor, civil war, corrupted government institutions, high ignorance and a terrorist effected country will highly motivate not only me but all Somali youth who campaigns for environment and climate change. With my encounter in climate adjustment, vitality move, and moo carbon improvement, I would be a major member, as I loan my voice towards approach considerations, valuable extend feedback, and arrangement deliberate.

One of my hobbies is reading books and novels. I like to play martial arts like taekwondo This is a brief introduction about me. Thank you very much	I have a number of reasons for introducing me to this forum The first reason: to find out more information. The second reason: to know the different cultures and civilizations. The third reason: an opportunity for me to exchange ideas and opinions. The four reason: to exchange experiences and life experiences. The fifth reason: We send the message of peace all over the world. The sixth reason: that I can put a question to senior politicians about how they succeed in business, how successful management is, and how to maintain it. The seventh reason: to work as a team. The eighth reason: getting to know the influential characters. The ninth reason: Recognizing different languages. The tenth reason: To make clear to the world that Egypt is the source of Islam and love. Peace is not a passing word that is the basis of stability on this globe Knowing that Egypt receives all the youth of the world with love and high morals, and the proof of this is that it receives groups of different peoples who have had wars in their country, welcoming them with love and opening them to the labor market and trade, and there are no camps as most countries did And it is an opportunity for me to know how the youth of the world see Egypt and for the youth of the world to know that Egypt is full of ancient Pharaonic, Islamic and Greek civilizations, and it is also filled with amazing secrets about the Pharaonic civilization.

By using this I can reach a number of people on how to change the society and also uplift the poor. Climate change has affected most parts of Africa particularly Kenya leading to adverse consequences such as food shortages, increase in arid areas and also corruption. I'll use my skills to champion the recovery of the old Africa by planting trees and connecting with the government and various institutions as it goes together we succeed!	Anybody else has a deeper understanding of how and why climate change has affected African countries and moreso Kenya. Professor Wangari Mathai an environmentalist played a key role in this but I have noticed ignorance by the government and entire public on ways to keep the environment. There has been various arising repercussions of this including food shortages, aridity and desertification. Poor economy has been associated with it. As a student and upcoming lecturer and journalists my skills will ensure that we come up with a body that is concerned with planning of key areas to be done to bring a Green Africa.

The major reason for this was that our livelihoods are at risk. During the covid 19 pandemic our homestead was swept away by cyclone idai and we had to relocate leaving everything behind. We have had droughts for the past 2 decades, our economy relies on agriculture and with climate change , this has been affected a lot. We do not have water, we are having constant power cuts, we nolonger have hope and the only rent we can pay to stay on this planet is activism. As a continent which emits less than 4% of the global emissions we are the ones suffering the most from the climate injustice. There is need for climate finance , loss and damage so that MAPA countries can adapt to the climate crisis , so we can be able to relocate people in prone areas to safer areas and also adopt ecofriendly initiatives. Without climate finance majority of the population are going to be displaced. I have coordinated over 60 events in over 60 countries as a way to put pressure on world leaders to take action with urgency to combat the climate crisis and declare a climate emergency. I hope to get more opportunities on a global scale to amplify our voices so we can get the justice we need the most.

In 2018 December, she was crowned as Miss Journalism World Kenya representative by an international beauty pageant in Arusha, Tanzania. Following her passion for leadership and innovation, in 2019 March, she was trained by Emerging Leaders Foundation on Digital Advocacy skills to help her spearhead her advocacy in Climate Action and Bamboo as a sustainable alternative to mitigate climate change. In 2019, she was appointed one of Kenya's Global Goodwill Ambassador due to her humanitarian works and volunteering ventures Following her passion for leadership and innovation, in 2019 March, she was trained by Emerging Leaders Foundation on Digital Advocacy skills to help her spearhead her advocacy in Climate Action and Bamboo as a sustainable alternative to mitigate climate change. In 2019, she was appointed one of Kenya's Global Goodwill Ambassador due to her humanitarian works and volunteering ventures In August 2020, Wendy Omanga was got an award from Top 35 Under 35 Youth of the year in Conservation, Environment and advocacy. In July 2021, Moonlight initiative started a campaign of establishing Bamboo villages in Kakamega county where the associate farmers have planted 2,900 Bamboo seedlings to mitigate negative effects of climate change. In July 2021, she was hired by TVET -CDAC as a consultant in developing the bamboo curriculum for the Kenyan market to be adopted in all government technical colleges. Wendy Omanga is the current Miss Jungle Kenya 2022 and UN FAO Forest Carbon Champion 2022-2023. She is also the current National Secretary of Bamboo Association of Kenya 222-2025.	My motivation for becoming an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP 27 is driven by my non profit organization and its journey in forming viable networks and partnerships for scale up in climate action in Kenya. Moonlight Initiative is a youth lead Conservation and Tourism Advocate Non Profit based in Sagana, Kenya. Moonlight Initiative was founded in the year 2018 as a result of over flooding of River Nyando, which caused loss of property, and caused death in the community of Nyando. This caused Wendy Omanga to begin a research which will mitigate negative effects of climate change while at the same time creating employment to the community of Nyando. This lead to Moonlight Initiative first flagship project which singled out Bamboo as a sustainable crop, suitable to plant along river Nyando in order to mitigate negative effects of climate change. To add on it, bamboo has over 10,000 value added products which has potential to create employment to the Nyando community. In the month of June 2020 right after the YALI fellowship, Moonlight Initiative got funding and support from International Bamboo and Rattan Organization (INBAR) to facilitate River Nyando Bamboo restoration activities and capacity building on ground, by a partner CBO called Nyando WRUA. Moonlight team managed to map over 50 new farmers in an effort to map the river and create bamboo awareness. The team began planting bamboo along river Nyando in the first week of July 2020. In August 2021, Wendy Omanga was chosen as one of the bamboo industry experts for The South-South Triangular Cooperation Facility for a Bamboo Study Tour in Ethiopia where she gained insight on bamboo value addition in Ethiopia, which is meant to be implemented back in Kenya. I am now based in Sagana town targeting to plant carbon sinks for African market by establishing bamboo and fruit treees nature trails for nature lovers along river Tana and Sagana rIver to give back to the river riparian. I am running a 10 million tree campaign for Africa and i need to partner with stakeholders in carbon capture market and this motivates me to come to the event. i would like to form international networks at COP 27 because a young woman like me is not in a position to facilitate my travel to the conference due to the high cost of inflation in Kenya coming from a marginalized community.

707	Karabo	Mokgonyana	Sesi Fellowship and Skill Hub	http://www.sesi.org.za/	Karabo Mokgonyana is an award-winning Activist and Lawyer from South Africa who spears youth and gender inclusion in Climate Change and Human Development. She was raised in a rural village in South Africa that exposed her to the realities of climate insecurity, poverty and inequality. Karabo is an outgoing member of the Youth Advisory Panelist for UNFPA South Africa, one of the 12 global Youth Power Panel with Restless Development and a Youth and Gender Innovation Expert for UNDP's Africa Borderlands Centre. Karabo is the former African Youth Ambassador for Peace with the African Union, the Coordinator of the Commonwealth Youth Human Rights & Democracy Network and a Campaigns Coordinator at Change.Org focusing on environmental sustainability and climate change. Karabo has provided advisory to organisations like UNIDO, UNFPA, SIWI and the African Union on the impact of climate change on rural communities, women and youth and marginalised cross border communities. She advocates for intersectional interventions in climate change and human development at the nexus of this movement. Karabo has created platforms for young women to contribute to policy and programming conversation at high levels and community by creating a fellowship around gender and climate change.	I would like to be an ACMI Youth delegate to firstly represent diverse identities in the conversation of climate change. As a young black womxn in Africa, I want to bring to light diverse range of experiences of climate impacts and mobility, particularly in of marginalised communities. Coming from a rural area, I want to bring to light the actual impact that climate change has had on food security, productivity, accessibility and has impacted livelihoods. I also want to learn about where the conversation is heading to from a human development perspective. The conversation is very abstract and often fails to take into consideration vulnerable and marginalised perspectives. The conversation needs to ensure diverse geographic representation across Africa and gender balance. We started a programme that trains young women in marginalised communities to engage in Climate Change policy and programming conversation and we realise the importance of including gender in this conversation and how womxn continue to be affected by this. I have worked on big Climate Change campaigns in Africa where we lead conversation around community voices but also policy reform that must take into consideration lived realities of absent voices in this conversation.
708	Opolot Nicholas	Akwang	Konrad Adenauer Foundation Uganda and South Sudan	https://medium.com/@nicholasopolot	I am a Social Innovation Expert who's passionate about sustainable development and building connected communities in Africa. That inspires me to work with young people to achieve their full potential. The youth are still the most excluded majority in Africa and have the dynamism and enthusiasm needed to solve key social issues such as climate change. I am a strong advocate for climate sustainability as a key ingredient for Africa to mitigate climate impacts. A warming planet is a major challenge for sustainability. Human activities that contribute to climate change are, by definition, not sustainable, as they alter the very planet we depend on for all our needs. But climate change also makes it harder to find sustainable solutions to other problems. I am cognizant of the challenges posed by climate change and the insurmountable task ahead for the leaders and people of Africa. My key practice is the circular economy where I also coordinate a Circular Lab in Kampala, Uganda to find innovative approaches to battle climate change. My role at the Konrad Adenauer Foundation is a dynamic one and has enabled me to mainstream climate education and sustainability as a major component of the organizations that we support. My current portfolio spans 20 organizations that we support directly and co-implement with. Notably, I have co-curated conversations on climate change induced conflicts, reframing storytelling, climate mitigation and sustainability at our Annual Flagships – the Kampala Geopolitics Conference 2021 and the Social Media Conference 2021. My work has also enabled me to engage with young and emerging political leaders whom I think are critical for shaping dialogue and action on climate mitigation, financing and advocacy. At the Konrad Foundation, we’ve rolled out the Huduma Public Service Fellowship (Class of 2021) and the Political Leadership Advancement Lab (POLALAB Class of 2021). I believe sowing the seeds for young leadership will reap as Africa enters a new era of globalization. We will need our best minds and souls to combat climate change.	Africa's ecological integrity is at risk. Communities are being driven to migrate because of the environmental stress induced by climate change such as prolonged droughts and floods et al. My key objective is to interact with passionate and deeply grounded professionals to share experiences and also explore the factors driving climate mobility in Africa. This is a largely ignored area of practice in Africa. The topic of migration is very critical and we need to understand how Africans are being affected by climate change. The competition over natural resources is driving instability and conflict across many African states. For instance, hydro-politics on the Nile is a major frontier of conflict in the Great Lakes Region. Environmental security is critical for peace and security as well as mobility. As the patterns for climate change continue to increase in adversity, so will displacement in Africa. Governments and key stakeholders need new frameworks to cater for climate refugees currently unprotected in the Refugee Convention. The definition of a climate refugee is still vague and largely unexplored. Attending COP27 as an ACMI Youth Forum Delegate will accord me a platform to connect, exchange and probe some of the key issues around climate mobility. It will be learning curve for me as a Climate Change Advocate.

As a youth delegate and representative of my village in the far north region of Cameroon where we are victims of severe consequences of climate change such as flooding, drought and diseases such as cholera, I think I can be the voice of all youths staying in this risky areas so as to expose the difficulties encountered by adolescents there to the COP27. Many people are suffering from this climate change especially youths and this is why I believe that youths should be included in decision making, this is why choosing me as one of the youth delegate to the COP27 will be a great step to the inclusion of adolescents in decision making. Also, I’m very engaged in climate change cause this brings usually a change in the ecosystem of youths, they may be mentally disabled as a consequence of this climate change who is becoming very alarming. I wish to represent youths of all over the African, to be part of the ACMI YOUTH FORUM and contribute to the decision making that will be held there in Egypt. Furthermore, I’m a pageant contest winner if Mister Patrimoines Cameroon 2022 advocating for the preservation of our fauna and forest, I’m bilingual, I can speak English and French fluently so will have no problem speaking to French Delegates. It will be a great honor for me to be part of the ACMI Youth forum.

730	Brian	Matara	ObbyPress Foundation	https://obbypressfoundatio.wixsite.com/obbypressf	Brian Nyamiaka Matara was born on the 22nd of December 2000 in Botabori village, Tabaka Ward, South Mugirango Constituency- Kisii County in Kenya. Mr. Brian graduated from Primary School in 2013 where he later joined St. Joseph’s Nyabigena Boys High School for High School studies. At his high school level, Brian built and developed a good foundation of relationships from his articulate nature and his willingness to share with his peers at every level of life. It was at his High School level that he grew and opened his mind, his experience for more ways of growing as a team, impacting the lives of the youth even after being very naïve and passive at his primary school level. This was a new exposure, for Brian and a transition that encouraged him not to act like a newcomer or a beginner but to an extent, it shows a transition from a beginner to a sophisticated person. For him, it was a tough but good transition right from form one to form two, where he actively started participating in the school’s activities. Brian developed grew all this courage from how he could see and perceive things take different turns, right from the Principal, who was his high school model at that time, teachers, how to form fours could handle themselves, sharing much with them those whom he used to reside in the same hostel and the same cubical with. In the process, much was transferred to him, and grew and developed each day. It was in form three where Brian now stood firm and exhibited what he had acquired in the two years of his stay in High school. Brian went ahead Leading fellow students in a Peer Counseling Club, a club he became a member of while in form one. Brian held several talks with students on various crucial issues at that time like Drugs and Drug Abuse, HIV straight talks by creating awareness on the existence of the virus, the importance of abstaining from sex before marriage, could go out to various girl’s schools around to discuss and discourage early pregnancies and peer pressure among students in High School. With the honor entrusted not by anyone but by himself, Brian identified these issues as one the contributors to students’ unrest, and unpreparedness to work on their studies, and in his space, he termed them as obstacles that always made students stumble in their School life. Brian graduated from high school in 2017 making his ground in academics having attained a grade equal to flying him to the University. Brian graduated from the University of Embu on 16th September 2022. Brian is now a community organizer for change, advocating for human rights, gender equality, GBV, FGM, and climate change for climate action toward having a favorable climate in preparation for the COP27.	My inspiration for this application is that the stage allows me the possible opportunity to partake in a coordinated eight-month program to drive advancement, and creative mind, limit improvement and convey significant results that will drive the entire thought of environmental change and versatility to a flourishing space. With your dedicated focus on both giving a youthful perspective and driving advancement in penniless districts, including watching out for the dismissed requirement for family organizing, completing preventable maternal passing, and completing violence against women and young women, I'm roused and spurred to be essential for the individuals to offer such to society. Preparing for longer, more outrageous fire seasons and droughts by laying out trees and flooding them interminably to ensure there were no contracting factors. Making care the adjust to the circumstance of sea level rising in lakes and oceans, and ensuring species lining in water are defended by saving our streams against trash, waste, plastics, and releases with pernicious fabricated materials. Ensuring that calamity and general prosperity plans address more outrageous atmospheric conditions and protecting lives. Protecting farms and the food supply from the climate consequences ensures there is an overabundance to eat up. Protect air quality by supporting better regular conditions and diminishing surges from gases industry and creation areas, Zeroing in on climate value, and Cutting carbon pollution by raising mindfulness against disastrous releases.

I believe there is a huge purpose behind participating in COP27 in addressing the risks and utilising opportunities related to climate mobility on the African continent. The numbers of adults and children who are displaced from their homes due to climate-related causes, such as wildfires, are growing. Climate causes are taking lives, separating families, and displacing people. As such, I am keen to participate in COP27 to help address this problem in order to be able to assist others and keep families together. Additionally, I am motivated to participate to help address man-made disasters, which can be correlated to lethal situations such as drought or flooding. It is important to confront and take action against some of the main causes of climate change, which are human-made activities. Climate change has a detrimental influence on several African nations, including Kenya, which is currently suffering from drought alongside other threats that are taking the lives of people and separating families. Therefore, I would like to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate so that I can help ensure a diverse representation in terms of geographic location, gender balance, and different experiences. As an Egyptian resident, I want to represent my country, which is highly susceptible to droughts, sea level rise, and other negative effects of climate change in its Nile Delta and its coastal front in the Mediterranean regions.

734	Denise	Ayebare Akampurira	Cherish Aid Foundation	https://www.cherishaidfoundation.org/	I am by the names of Ayebare Akampurira Denise 19years old a refugee from Rwanda and a Ugandan by nationality based on years of stay. I hold a diploma in Environmental Management, Legal studies , Certificate in Corruption in Context and Fundamentals of International Law. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's of Law. Since the age of 12 I have been involved in debates and discussions about various problems that affect society. The spirit sparked off my desire to create positive change in society where I founded an organization called A Better Life where we take in consideration problems affecting society which has four departments which include Gender, Youth Empowerment, Climate action and Zero Poverty(stronger institutions and justice systems) I have used my oratory skills to influence policies at higher levels for example I serve as the Prime Minister of the National Youth Parliament Uganda, Programs coordinator Cherish Aid Foundation (climate action and justice), Head of Communications, Kugonza Youth impact Uganda (end teenage pregnancies and early marriages), Chief Operations Officer-Debate Institute Africa (Pan Africanism), East African Representative- Pan African University Debate Council and many others. In my current positions we have run a campaign of Nature hub under A Better Life Foundation where we have reached over 750million impressions in the past years on our social media handles but also gone ahead to do projects in rural areas where cutting down of tress is very normal like bio gas and use of brickets. I have gone ahead to organize debate towards climate action like the Inaugural Uganda international schools debate that was aimed towards combatting climate change and the upcoming Zadek Open in September because we believe Climate change advocacy cannot be done in anyway better without recognizing the debaters in a room professing solutions, speaking the problematic nuances & engaging every stakeholders involved in climatic factors. Zadek Debate Open honors climate change advocacy. I also have great team work and analytical skills which have enabled me to handle all work related items. I have gone ahead to use such to positively impact on society in terms of capacity building by contributing to a number of panels for example the Children's Reference Group under UNICEF Uganda where I serve as a mentor and many others. Moving forward I stay in a indigenous community where people rely on the weather patterns for a living and this is one of the greatest motivation coupled with being a refugee why I do all I can to contribute to climate action because I believe we are the last generation who can do something about climate change or if not the consequences shall be irreversible.	For the past years I have been interested in issues that are affecting developing countries. I have been working towards climate action and justice because I am a refugee from Rwanda who got Ugandan citizenship and I also live in an indigenous community where people depend on the different weather patterns for their survival. Recalling that Africa is one of the least contributors to Climate change however it's one of the most affected continents. This stems from a point where we have failed to bench mark from other countries specifically the global North and that has led to a situation where In Africa we live in a world of no alternatives where we cannot adapt and mitigate because we have no alternatives and this has been worsened by the growing poverty. Moving on I believe that one this workshop rather provides for a platform for interacting with other people from Africa and other participants outside on how they have been able to adapt. The workshop also provides for me am opportunity to present the joint position of the African continent on issues like climate change to avoid mismatch of policies at future global conferences.

My name is Andreas Marungu, I am currently enrolled for a bachelor degree in clinical nursing science at the University of Namibia. I am a youth activist in my country and around the globe, I am currently volunteering and working in different networks and organizations for both national and global. I volunteer and work as the regional secretary for Education, training and research for the Namibia National Students’ Organization, then for the Namibia Planned Parenthood Association and I also work for the African Youth and adolescent Network for development as the youth development officer in Namibia. I am passionate about good leadership and I aspire to make a difference in the world. Empowering other people to be good activists for change provides me with enormous gratification. Reading and writing are my hobbies.	I am passionate about good leadership that provides the realisation of sustainable development goals. You'd agree with me that nothing happens without someone taking the leadership role, so I believe that in order for us to talk about climate change we must ensure that we have the right leaders to make it easier through policy interventions and law amendments to suit status quo of the climate crisis. I work and volunteer in NGOs such as Intercontinental Youth Connect which provides space for climate solution-oriented approaches, imporing the youth to think about how should we reduce carbon emissions and other gases and see to it that we lower our global temperatures. As Head of Youth Development for AfriYan in Namibia, kavango East, we have empowered youth to make use of recycle materials and we see results on a community level. We urge our communities to avoid burning plastics, areas of trees etc.
736	Ahmed	Abdi	Somaliland Climate Action Initiatve	https://twitter.com/SLclimateAction / https://twitter.com/AhmetY__	My name is Ahmed and I am from the Federal Democratic Republic of Somalia. I am a global climate advocate and a communications professional with over four years of experience in public relations and digital and social media campaign in the nonprofit sector. I am Co-Founder and currently the advocacy Director at Somaliland Climate Action Initiative, I have lobbied government leaders, the media and other key stakeholders to pass stronger legislation on Climate Change Activities, resulting in a new law that designates additional funding for climate and young initiatives. I increased the number of social media followers on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram by 50% over six months and published monthly newsletters with an open rate consistently above 70%. Also, I have been volunteered as a peer educator on adolescent developmental projects for several groups, including UNICEF and UNHCR. Through these experiences, I developed strong public relations and digital and social media campaign skills. With a strong passion for innovation and youth development. As we know climate change is the biggest disaster all over the world and that is why I have established my initiative called “plant a tree and save lives.” My imitative protecting the environment is protecting the future, for that reason, we need to bring all people together and unite towards protecting our very own environment for more responsibility to make the world a better place. Fortunately, last year I have been selected successfully to participate World Youth Forum, Sharma El-Sheikh, Egypt. As a global citizen, I have been suggested to the World Youth Forum committee some valuable recommendations about Climate Change making the world a better place. Fortunately, the World Youth Forum committee awarded to me a certificate in recognition of my constructive ideas and recommendations related to climate change solutions, to make the world a better place. On the other hand, during this year, I have completed a seminar about the Global Sustainable Development, organized by the United Nations specifically the Office for South-South Cooperation and hosted by the Ministry of Commerce, the People's Republic of China in partnership with the United Nations Office for South-South Cooperation. And, by joining the COP27, I would like to suggest and contribute to the leaders of the world and young participants from around the world some valuable recommendations, experiences, initiatives and sustainable climate change solutions. On the other hand, I could have engaged global leaders in what is important for our people and planet and let them decide the way out of our outstanding challenges and empower them to take bold actions in advance. Finally, I would talk to world leaders in the private sector and entrepreneurs and show them what is going on in our world right now, and involve them in the realization of a resilient, sustainable, peaceful and prosperous planet. "Together we move".	Alike from other youth climate activists in Europe, America and Asia, African climate activists from across the continent who want to join together to spread messages of climate action is commendable step-forward. I believe Young climate leaders across the continent are for front lines of climate change and holding world leader’s as well African leaders accountable for their damaging actions in the environment. Thus, my biggest motivation why I’m joining this event alongside with other youth climate activists across Africa is to add my voice and loudly speaks about climate justice. I’m standing to defend our planet and which we live in, the planet that feed us, the planet that give us shield and our future generation planet. I’m speaking on behalf of current generation, future generation and under-developed countries youth to realize sustainable development goals, so that we can live on a planet that is friendly to us and sustainable lifestyles. Meanwhile, my expectations regarding this event is to obtain an energy to re-double my efforts for advocating climate change. In addition, exchanging knowledge and experience about climate change to my other peers who will join the event will be an exciting. Finally, in the head of COP27 which will be held in Egypt on 6 to 18 Nov will be great opportunity to send a strong message to global leaders to take climate change seriously as long as climate change is the greatest threat to our existence. World leaders must act now not tomorrow or after tomorrow. Climate change is real. Changing the attitude of my community towards climate change would be a landmark achievement after COP27. In addition, getting a knowledge and experience would be beneficial to strengthen my efforts of climate justice and action for climate empowerment. I believe major shift in attitude and behavior have occurred time and time in the social change. Combating global warming and climate crises through ecosystem restoration would be a good example of what we can contribute to our communities, therefore to implement this we need to speak up loudly and act as caretakers of our environment. I believe if we build a climate resilience communities it can reduce impacts from disasters related to climate change. Previously, I attended local and international conference focused on SDGs and particularly climate change and I’m 100% sure this conference would add my professional experience an excellence step forward. By being there, I can share a unique insight perspective and a positive and collaborative attitude.

Having been in Kakuma Refugee Camp for the past 16 years, I have experienced the impact of climate change on vulnerable refugees from floods and strong wind which destroy houses and claim lives to severe temperature and radiation causing mental illness and increasing trauma among refugees. Besides my camp situation, my home country, South Sudan is heavily stricken by floods, along the River Nile, there is no livable home. In this case, climate change is affecting the two places I call home, my current home which is a refugee camp, and my home country South Sudan, therefore, I have to take action for me to have a place to call home. I have been spearheading the Hand to the Nature, a project by Kakuma Hub in Kakuma Refugee Camp aiming to educate pupils on climate change and environmental conservation as well as planting trees in 21 primary schools in the camp. Currently, as a founder of Prime Demand Solution, we have a climate change department whose role is to educate farmers on environmental safety practices in food production, we eradicate any possibility of environmental pollution in Agriculture.

741	REUBEN	OTUKE	Kisii University	kisiiuniversity.ac.ke	I am a Kenyan, born and raised in a family of six within the warmth of the tiny village of Getare, Kisii County. I am immensely passionate about climate change and its effects on our planet and its inhabitants. I strongly believe that we need to take action now in order to mitigate the effects of climate change and protect our planet for future generations. I have a background in environmental science and have been actively involved in climate change initiatives for years. I am well-versed in the latest climate science and am confident that I can effectively communicate the urgency of the situation to the general public. I am also experienced in organizing and mobilizing people to take action. Organizing people to take action is important in order to create change on the issue of climate change. The more people that are mobilized and taking action, the more likely it is that policy change will happen. Political mobilization can take many forms, from protests and marches to letter-writing campaigns and voter registration drives. It is important for people to get involved in the political process in order to make their voices heard on the issue of climate change. I am confident that I can be an asset to your team in the fight against climate change. I am eager to use my skills and experience to help raise awareness and take action to mitigate the effects of climate change. I would be grateful for the opportunity to join a team of like-minded individuals and help make a difference. Climate Mobility is an important and timely initiative that I am passionate about and would be honored to advocate for. My experience in climate science and policy, and climate change issues at the local level makes me uniquely qualified to speak about this critical issue. I am confident that I can help raise awareness about climate mobility and its potential to mitigate the effects of climate change. I am eager to share my knowledge with others and help them understand the importance of taking action on this issue.	I have always been interested in environmentalism and sustainability, and I think that climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing our generation. I have attended a few climate marches and rallies, and I think it's important that young people have a voice in this movement. I believe that ACMI can provide me with the platform and the resources that I need to be an effective advocate for climate action. I have also been involved in a few initiatives relating to climate mobility. I have participated in a carpool program at my school, and I have also volunteered for an organization that encourages people to use public transport instead of cars. I think that it is important to promote sustainable transportation options, and I believe that my experience can be valuable in this area. I am passionate about climate change and its effects on our planet. I believe that it is our generation's responsibility to take action on this issue, and I want to be a part of the solution. I am also interested in international relations and am keen to learn more about the process of negotiations at the COP. I believe that this experience would be invaluable in helping me to develop my skills and knowledge in this area. It is important that youths are part of climate mobility and climate change because we are the future. We will be the ones dealing with the consequences of climate change, and the need to be involved in the solutions. Climate change is a major threat to global security, and so it is important to take action to mitigate its effects. Additionally, climate change is already having a major impact on economies and livelihoods around the world, and so it is important to take action to adapt to its effects. Besides, climate change is a major threat to the environment, and so it is important to take action to protect it. Climate change is already causing problems around the world, and it is expected to cause even more problems in the future. If we do not take action to reduce effects of climate change, it will continue to get worse. This could lead to more extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and other impacts that could be very harmful to people and the environment. The effects of climate change in Africa are far-reaching and potentially devastating. They include more frequent and more intense droughts, floods and other extreme weather events; declining crop yields; increases in insect and disease outbreaks; and displacement of people from their homes. All of these impacts are likely to increase in the future as the Earth’s climate continues to warm.

My greatest goal is to one day see a world devoid of injustice, and that includes injustice meted on plants, animals and the environment that sheltered us all.	Just this year, our community is devasted by flooding due to climate change. Had our leaders acted as early as possible, we could've avoided so much death and misery. But the sad reality is that our people here, largely due to ignorance and lack of proper understanding of our world, had been attributing such disaster to God punishing us with his wrath due to our infidelity. It is sad that someone have to explain to people that climate action is our collective responsibility.

COP27 aims to provide solutions and alternatives to the current challenges related to climate change. With the COP27 presidency focused on implementation, it is turning to sectors that can make a real difference in the fight against climate change. Because climate insecurity has become a growing challenge on both sides of the Mediterranean. The adverse effects of climate change have increased the frequency of extreme weather and rising temperatures, with far-reaching effects on all sectors of local communities and their economies. At present, half of the population of the Middle East and North Africa lives under water stress conditions. Burden shared equally with most of the Mediterranean countries in Europe. Similarly, the war in Ukraine has put many countries that depend heavily on food imports under pressure, particularly those hosting a large number of refugees. These challenges, combined with the expected population growth over the following decades, put the security of many social systems in the Mediterranean countries under additional stress.

753	Mame Hawa Tokoro Yaye	Gassama	Youth Sénégal		my name is Mame hawa tokoro yaye gassama and I am an agricultural engineer and currently I am doing a master's degree in development and management of forest and agroforestry ecosystems. Since I had my science baccalaureate, agriculture, the environment and everything related to biodiversity have always interested me. this is why I am active in the protection of the environment and especially for climate justice with a lot of associations such as the Senegalese association of friends of nature, the association for the protection of the environment and developing young Senegalese, of whom I am an ambassador for my region.	with the associations that I belong to, we work a lot on climate justice through reforestation, cleaning days and the recycling of plastic objects. in 2020, I participated in a forum organized by naturfriend from Germany, benin and Senegal to establish a list of grievances for the fight against climate change. this cop27 would only be one more asset and an opportunity that will be offered to me to be able to express my proposals. With the 2022 World Water Forum held in Dakar, I took part in the climate fresco workshops.
754	Hela	Ghzel	Sahara and Sahel Observatory	http://www.oss-online.org/	Over 5 years of professional experience and through the positions I had held in the Sahara and Sahel Observatory (OSS), I have had the opportunity to work on the following projects: (i) Enhancing Resilience of Communities to Climate Change through Catchment-Based Integrated Management of Water and Related Resources in Uganda (EURECCCA), (ii) Strengthening drought resilience for smallholder farmers and pastoralists in the IGAD region (DRESSEA), and (iii) Resilience building as climate change adaptation in drought-struck South-western African communities in Angola and Namibia (ADSWAC). The projects we implement are mainly based in Africa and aimed at managing disaster risk by increasing local capacity and resilience and reducing vulnerability to natural hazards namely, drought. The multidisciplinary and multicultural environment in which I evolved allowed me to build my scientific and technical capacities and acquire experiences from a variety of project management activities including proposal development in compliance with the requirements of the Adaptation Fund.	Subject: Call for applications - Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum - COP27 Delegate Dear Sir/Madam, I am delighted to submit my application for the position of ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27. I am an environmental engineer and I have cumulated over five years of work experience in an international institution, managing projects dealing with major environmental issues, mainly climate change, biodiversity loss, and land degradation, while at the same time generating multiple environmental and socio-economic benefits. I currently work at the Sahara and Sahel Observatory (OSS) as a Project Management Officer within the Climate Department. The projects we implement are mainly based in Africa and aimed at managing disaster risk by increasing local capacity and resilience and reducing vulnerability to natural hazards namely, drought. The multidisciplinary and multicultural environment in which I evolved allowed me to build my scientific and technical capacities and acquire experiences from a variety of project management activities, including proposal development in compliance with the requirements of the Adaptation Fund (AF) and Green Climate Fund. My work also included the coordination and support of the implementation of three AF-funded projects, EURECCCA, DRESSEA and ADSWAC, where the activities contribute to minimizing displacement risk and therefore benefit communities who are at risk of environmental and climate-induced disasters and displacement. Those projects allowed me to improve my monitoring and evaluation skills, and expand my knowledge on human mobility challenges related to disasters and early warning systems in African countries. My professional experience not only gave me the opportunity to contribute to environmental projects implementation but also, I have been involved in the development of project ideas, designs, concepts, and full proposals in line with the target countries’ policies and needs and the development partners’ requirements and goals. As a young environmentalist, this background has allowed and will allow me to further share information and experiences about the projects, programs, and campaigns that work best for the countries and populations that need them the most. Lastly, I am a solid believer that this position would allow me to contribute to shaping a more climate resilient Africa and to reach ambitious, innovative, and fair solutions and to better evaluate future potential consequences of climate-induced migration. I believe I am suited for the position because I bring my technical capacity, experience, and knowledge in climate change and disaster risk reduction and early warning systems to collaborate with African youth to minimize displacement risk in the context of climate change and disasters particularly as regards to youth and women employment. I would be glad to hear from you and get the opportunity to express my enthusiasm during an interview at your convenience. Thank you very much for your consideration. Sincerely,

I am a powerful public speaker who loves inspiring counter-youths with what I do. I am also passionate about problem solving. I have been subjected to quite a number of fields concerning mother nature that include but not limited to environmental law, climate change law, gender and the law, wildlife law, forensic medicine and medical law, international law, international trade law and to mention but a few. Prior to the aforementioned areas I have a passion for the fusion of environmental law, climate change law, wildlife law and, gender and the law. I am a student at Great Zimbabwe University's Herbert Chitepo School of law and a final year student. I love effecting change in my community through lobbying and youth advocacy.	Being a final year student, I am working on a research project on climate change law and gender equality. The object of the prior research study is to come up with a solution to gender inequality since I feel that the global crisis of climate change is an effective opportunity to realise equality of opportunities given to men and women to make decisions and become active agents of change through gender main streaming in Zimbabwe. I also believe that it's another way that people can cooperate internationally and regionally to come up with robust gender-sensitive and gender-responsive theories, concepts, models and mechanisms that help us realise a resilient low carbon emission. I also believe that this is an opportunity to implement reverse discrimination against women, climate change policy reforms in international, regional and national levels. The topic of my area of research study is," An analysis of the effect of climate change policy on gender (in) equality in Zimbabwe"
763	Sandra Nkechi	Anikpe			Sandra Anikpe is a 26 year old student of biochemistry at the University of Jos, Nigeria. As a child she has been fascinated by the world of science, the microscopic world and understanding them. When she lost her grandmother to diabetes in August 2014 she decided she would focus her education to understanding her environment and it's influence on biological life. And thus applied for biochemistry as a first choice for college. Due to her interest in women empowerment, she co-found an online women's community called Creative Minds Foundation where she organize entrepreneurship workshop, lifestyle and mental health awareness during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. She, alongside her team members have gone on to organize sensitization program for secondary school girls and teenagera on sex education, menstruation and Reproductive health in her community and surrounding communities. She is actively involved in volunteering and community service thus has joined some NGO such as ICIN (Islamic council Initiative in Nigeria) on their WASH ( global Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) program to promote health and hygiene, environmental sanitation and improve water quality to prevent Cholera, diarrhoea and other spread of disease. She engages in a monthly sanitation duties with members of her community in disposing plastics and clogged dirts for easy irrigation during the raining season. She's currently advocating for the subsiding of menstrual hygiene products for women and provisions of free menstrual hygiene products for women and girls in impoverished community. This was her focal point while applying for the 2023 Mandela Washington Fellowship. She hopes that with her knowledge in Medical biochemistry and her active participation in community, young girls and women can have better knowledge of Hygiene, reproductive health and menstruation, Having the necessary access to leading a more healthy and safe life.	My grandma died before 70 because she was diabetic and had spacial meal plan needs. As a teenager at the Time one of the biggest challenge my family faced was providing some of these less in carbohydrates food for her. In Africa we have more starchy food. I wanted to understand the role of environment in influencing diseases or accelerating the rate of disease spread in the body when I applied to study biochemistry. Women's reproductive health and hygiene in my country is not dealt with as a matter of national importance, thus people are misinformed or under informed. And almost losing my mom to Cholerae 4years ago, I was determined to seek ways in which people can practice safe water hygiene and reproductive health. We are a product of our environment, and so when our environment is not taken care of, we suffer which is why the WASH program and menstrual health for sustainable growth and development is my strong suit for applying to be an ACMI Younth Forum delegate
764	PAVERT NJODZEKA	NGEH	UNICEF-Jeunes Voix du Sahel (JVS) and Green Community (GC)		Pavert Njodzeka Ngeh is a 24-year-old Cameroonian youth and currently lives in Aalborg, Denmark. He is currently offering a master’s program in biotechnology at the Aalborg University. Pavert is a youth advocate, a biogas practitioner, a compost and organic farming promoter and a U-Reporter. His devotion to the betterment of the environment and lives have led him through several experiences which include: In 2020, he was recruited by the non-profit organization Royal Renewable Energy common initiative group (RRECIG) which focused on promoting sustainable agriculture wherein he worked as a coordinator for research and training programs on biogas and bio fertilizer production. In addition, he was also recruited by the biogas company Royal Renewable Energy Cameroon Enterprise (RRECAM) where he specialized in the installation of prefabricated mobile biodigesters. Under RRECAM and RRECIG, he has taken part in several projects which include: PACAEDC (support for the improvement of citizen participation and planning for the integrated management of the environment and sustainable energy sources in the municipality of Yaoundé IV) project which was sponsored by the European Union and involved the construction of community bio digesters for biogas and bio fertilizer production. Here, Pavert supervised the construction of these bio digesters. In addition, the Innovative Volunteerism Community Center for Waste recovery to Biogas and Biofertilizer project, in partnership with United Nations Environmental Program and EBAFOSA (Ecosystem Based Adaptation for Food Security Assembly) where he served as the coordinator for training youth and women on the production of biogas and biofertilizer. In November 2021, he was selected for the UNICEF initiative “Jeunes Voix du Sahel” (JVS) which brought together 100 youths from 10 different countries in the Sahel region. One of the major objectives of the JVS is to bring out the climate change related challenges faced by the local communities as well as building concrete solutions that reflect the needs of these local communities. With the JVS, he was a representative at the African Union-European Union Summit in February 2022. Furthermore, in March 2022, he actively represented the JVS and Cameroon at the 9th World Water Forum in Dakar, Senegal. And is presently still very active within the group through field and virtual activities bringing together various organizations, youth groups and individuals concerned with the problem of Climate change. In 2022, he founded the organization Green Community (GC) which focuses on the creation and promotion of research and training centers geared towards climate change mitigation together with solving various socio-economic problems. With the leadership of Pavert, GC is currently working in the local community Nyom in Yaoundé, Cameroon where a small composting unit has been established for training youths, especially young girls and recycling of biodegradable waste through the innovative volunteerism approach as means of fighting climate change and promoting gender equality.	Experiencing the adverse effects of climate change first hand had me dedicating the past few years to fighting climate change and inevitably I was led to the aspect of Climate Mobility where I had the opportunity to meet and interact with people within local communities who had to move from one place to another due to the adverse effects of climate change some of which include low and irregular rainfalls as well as pronounced droughts and floods. Throughout the year 2021, in the locality called Nkolmbende in the Center region of Cameroon where I practiced biogas technology, most of the farmers cultivating within this area were forced to abandon their farms as there were barely any rains, even during the rainy season. This affected the farmers a lot as movement meant more expenditure and for those who did not have the means, a clear shortage in both food and cash crops for that year. Furthermore, working with the UNICEF-Jeunes Voix du Sahel (JVS) enabled me to have a clear field picture of the situation within local communities not only within my country Cameroon, but also in the Sahel region when it comes to Climate Mobility. An example of this would be the small town of Dori in Burkina Faso which suffers from severe water scarcity. In addition to this, my interactions, and engagements with the ACMI team through the ACMI youth forum in April 2022 and the Virtual Summit of the ACMI Stakeholders forum in July 2022 as well as an online seminar on Climate Mobility organized by the JVS in July 2022 wherein ACMI was present, gave me some more insight on the subject matter. All of these coupled with my field experience in terms of technical knowledge, political and financial understanding of the situation of climate change especially within the local communities in Africa makes me the ideal candidate to be the ACMI Youth Delegate. I carry with me not only the voices of young people, women, men, and children from these local communities, but also, practical solutions that reflect the needs of these people within the African communities. I am already bringing young actors together and I look forward to meeting and bringing many more of us together during and after COP27 as I strongly believe in the power of unity.

Fortunately, last year I was selected successfully to participate in the World Youth Forum, Sharma El-Sheikh, Egypt. As a global citizen, I have been suggested to the World Youth Forum committee some valuable recommendations about Climate Change making the world a better place. Fortunately, the World Youth Forum committee awarded to me a certificate in recognition of my constructive ideas and recommendations related to climate change solutions, to make the world a better place. On the other hand, during this year, I have successfully completed a seminar about Global Sustainable Development, organized by the United Nations specifically the Office for South-South Cooperation and hosted by the Ministry of Commerce, the People's Republic of China in partnership with the United Nations Office for South-South Cooperation. As we know climate change is the biggest disaster all over the world and that is why I have established my initiative called “plant a tree and save lives” in my country towards combating climate change and promoting biodiversity and a clean ecosystem. My aim in protecting the environment is protecting the future, for that reason, we need to bring all people together and unite towards protecting our very own environment for more responsibility to make the world a better place. For the last four years, I have been volunteering to fight climate change as Internationally and regionally. And, by joining the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative, I would like to suggest and contribute to the global leaders and young participants from around the world some valuable recommendations, experiences, and more about sustainable climate change actions. Really, I have full experience in the field of policy-making and decision-making according to my educational background and my previous experience. Such as preparing advice, including briefing notes and sustainable recommendations, consulting with major stakeholders on draft legislation, developing strategic policy, legislative and regulatory reforms, Implementing and evaluating policy objectives and decision-making. Unfortunately, the Climate crisis altered the natural phenomenon of the world and resulted in lower levels of rainfalls that caused less agricultural production and brought lots of people to major cities. As per the World Bank, Climate Change Knowledge Portal of World, “The average temperature of East Africa has increased by an overage of 1C since 1960, as an overage rate of 0.5C per decade". This is an alarming issue that can cause floods, droughts and other risks that were witnessed in other countries around the world. In my opinion, Protecting the environment is protecting the future. For that reason, we need to bring all people together and unite towards protecting our very own environment, more responsibly. And after the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative, I would have put youth at the utmost and forefront agenda of the United Nations and let them lead the way towards a sustainable future because with Youth we can be stronger than ever before and they are the generation for today and tomorrow. Moreover, I could have engaged global leaders in what is important for our people and planet and let them decide

I would like to express my interest in representing ACMI Youth Forum as a Delegate for COP27. I am motivated by the fact that risks associated with life sciences, such as pandemics and related emergencies are inherently transnational, self-replicating threats that have no respect for borders and exist on a scale beyond what any single nation can address.

I envision a space to utilise environmental advocacy lens in tackling climate change through partnerships with youth leaders, experts, funding agencies and other communities. I am expectant that my presence at COP27 offers a platform to share my knowledge and lived experiences of climate risks and disasters in environmental health work here in Uganda, mobilise leaders and scholars to this cause while building networks that will drive behavioral and social change. At the end of the conference, I hope that we write a focused policy paper on conservation for climate justice as a case study of the successes registered by different interventions and potential of scalability. I look forward to transferring this knowledge to colleagues in Uganda to support them expand advocacy and strategic communications skill set as well as learn how to integrate evidence-based best practices into our organization so people take meaningful action on climate.

He also volunteers as the Thematic Advisor, Waste Management, and Business Solutions of Green Stewardship International, based in Ghana and Sweden. He is studying at Chartered Management Institute (CMI) Diploma in Professional Consultancy. He works full-time as a Research Associate in a Japanese Consulting firm that offers a wide range of consultancy services to Japanese companies engaged in JICA and Japan external trading organizations (JETRO). He has been recognized for completing the UK-funded Government international volunteering Programme (Challenges worldwide and International Service) as a community development advocate and Business Associate for Small and Medium Enterprises. He is also a member of a STEM organization called Global Lab Network, where he volunteers as their event organizer for STEM-related programs to discuss topics of public interest that have a scientific basis or require scientific solutions. He is also a member of a global Movement called breakfreefromplastic, a future free from plastic pollution demanding massive reductions in single-use plastics and to push for lasting solutions to the plastic pollution crisis. Finally, he participated in JA Africa’s Beats Plastics campaign in 2020. During this online campaign that came with different challenges, he was able to interact with and educate community members and youth online, which emerged him the 2nd Runner-Up in the Tide Turners Plastic Challenge. He also represented Africa and had the opportunity to speak at the National Youth Summit Plastic Tide Turners Challenge 2020 organized by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) in India alongside panels made up of UN representatives, environmental activists, and Tide Turners from over 23 countries and shared his experience from participating in the challenge to almost 2,000 attendees.	Ghana is a fast-growing economy facing plastic problems, and according to the UNDP report, Ghana generates around 1 million tons of plastic waste each year. Only about 5% are recycled. The rest accumulates in the environment, with 28% ending up in the ocean and our dumb sites, which are burned by human activities or sunlight heat, causing the plastics to release powerful greenhouse gases. The plastic breaks down into more methane. And as our climate changes, the planet gets hotter. However, by Joining and becoming a member of the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Delegate at the COP27 forum, I will be able to interact with other delegates on how best Ghana can address the plastic waste problem through policies by stimulating domestic demand for recycled plastics and increase recovery and recycling rates. I Believe, with my three years of experience in fighting against plastic pollution, promoting sustainable communities and cities through Mckingtorch Africa, international organizations, and stakeholders in Ghana, I will be able to contribute to ideas sharing as a member of the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative youth delegate, by the use of research to show evidence-based interventions in addressing the problem of plastics waste and climate change. My impact has also enlightened my community about the serious consequences of plastic pollution and how beneficial reusing plastics can be. I believe that almost anything that can’t be reduced, refurbished, recycled, or composted should be restricted, redesigned, or removed from production. This opportunity is an excellent platform for me to share my ideas and suggestions for achieving the Paris Agreement emissions by 45% by 2030 and reaching net zero by 2050. Finally, I intend to use the knowledge acquired from the forum to equip me and my teammates in Ghana to address the plastic waste crisis as plastic pollution and climate change requires local solutions that have global implications.

Growing up, I dreamt of being a doctor not only because the field is interesting but also because my dad used to call me by the appellation. Then while I was in 7th grade I got the opportunity to join conferences and submits held at the AU. 3 years in that environment I felt like I belonged there and found my dream to serve my continent and passion for peace and security.

Then when placement was announced I was placed at Wollo University Dessie main campus where they have peace and Development studies. Went there and studied peace and development studies at Wollo University Dessie main campus for 2 years but because of the unrest in the north part of Ethiopia, i couldn’t carry on. So i started to study Global Studies And International Relations (GSIR) at New Generation University College (NGUC) locally. In my short time of existance I was able to overcame financial obstacles, limited opportunities without degree, gender based provocation. I also gained experience by working on family business, forming and assisting clubs in high school, serving as a vice president for my graduation class of high school, serving as a representative for the department at Wollo university. I am currently one of the student ambassador for cardamon ethiopia while also serving as secretariat for USAYA and inthe student union advocacy team.

I am happy when things are working positively according to nature .	I am motivated because being given this chance I hope to reach a wider range of people especially in Africa and really inform them on the dangers and important of climate mobility.Having taken a degree in geography and environmental science I became convinced that many don’t really know of the harm and danger of the climate mobility because basically it is not a very important topic in the curriculum.So very few people come out with this information and a lot of people who are ignorant don’t really understand its a bigger issue for them and for the future generations.I would like to help reach a lot of people and really help.I still feel I can bring change even with the bigger disaster facing us at the moment I strongly believe that something can be done .I believe that climate mobility awareness to everyone should be really taken seriously because we all have a force that can either bring the good or bad out of something.I believe something good can come out of us and we can be somewhere in the next 10-30 years.I strongly believe that environment as a whole should be taken seriously and should be respected.Lastly people should really be informed on the importance of this .

I live in the capital city of Kenya ie Nairobi but I come from Makueni which happens to be very dry most of the year.I love mangoes but the only mangoes that I eat are the ones that my parents grow themselves.I am attached to those mangoes and I haven't had them for the past two years owing to the extensive dry season.This is only going to get worse if nothing is done about it.Currently,the horn of Africa including parts of Kenya are experiencing drought.Animals are dying and children are malnourished;it's a situation that will bring tears to anyone who sees it.This year, Pakistan experienced their worst floods in decades and it is said that this will take them back years.The world fires in Europe this year were also the worst they've seen in years.In 2019 , Australia experienced wild fires that went on for more than 200 days and during that period,billions of animals were killed and it destroyed millions of hectares of forest cover.The environment is capable of giving back but the problem is we are taking more from it than it's capable of giving back. Through this forum,I can connect and interact with like minded people who want to bring change to their communities.People who come up with ideas and policies that can drive us towards a greener economy and a cleaner environment.

This is why I must stay and ensure that important issues like this are not forgotten.

I have won the shesmart IFM and CBE 2020 award. I am a member of the Girl Guide Association.	I apply because i want to learn on how to generate political momentum and partnerships for tackling the challenges and opportunities of climate forced mobility in Africa. My experience relating to climate mobility is that climate mobility is the diversity of forms and directions of population movement in the context of climate variability and change, on climate migration largely agree that climate factors contribute to migration (both voluntary and forced), but their contribution is generally mediated through socio-economic factors such as wage differentials, family reunification, and efforts to improved living standards. By controlling for other factors known to influence migration decision-making, researchers have linked migration to fluctuations in temperature and precipitation and extreme weather such as storms, floods and droughts. Many of these impacts are traced through the "agricultural pathway" meaning that climate impacts on migration are moderated by changes in agricultural production. In the first decade of the twenty-first century, climate change became part of the development cooperation agenda and aid organizations increasingly focused on change within their development portfolios. Today, development cooperation actors include aid donors of development (including governments involved through non-governmental and private donors) and the implementation of climate information related to past variations, current changes, and future projections is important for understanding how different sectors can be emphasized and climate conditions and at risk of future impacts.However, while we now have a better understanding of the current and projected impacts of climate change on various economic sectors, the social and political contexts of population responses to climate change remain a topic of research actions.

Gloire holds a Master’s Degree in Science of Economics from Kigali Independent University in Kigali Rwanda.	There is a growing awareness that the adverse impacts of climate change increasingly contribute, directly and indirectly, to different forms of mobility that unfold within countries and across borders. While, to date, most studies on climate-related migration have focused on adult populations, emerging evidence indicates that children also become uprooted and displaced due to climate change, or they are left behind when parents are compelled to move in search of livelihoods. There is an expanse of research on children and mobility, although not specifically framed as driven by climatic factors. This includes both children’s own mobility, as migrants or refugees, and the mobility of parents who leave children behind in their places of origin.

Up to now I'm still working in this NGO as a board member. Thank you!!	The climate changes is a contemporary issue....for the experience I have from the Kilimanjaro project in which we've been working on recovering the environmental condition by planting trees, activating the community on environmental issues and educating the community to use alternative source of energy rather than using woods. I assure that I will work with you and provide ideas and experience to make sure that the COP27 goals are achieved. Thank you!
813	Alphonsine Armelle Sarah	Kebeyeng Bodofia	Digital Artists For Africa		I am KEBEYENG BODOFIA ALPHONSINE ARMELLE SARAH, young 23 years old Cameroonian living in Cameroon and from a very modest family of 7 children. I'm a holder of a Masters Degree in Biochemistry and since April 2022 I am enrolled in a 1year fellowship program TECHWOMEN FACTORY by CAYSTI in Digital Arts where I have developed passion and skills in graphic design, illustrations, motion graphics and 3D modeling as well as web page design. I consider myself as a Climate Advocate and I am convinced that with my skills I can contribute to sustainable development goals. I'm also de founder and developer of Digital Artists for Africa projet aimed in communicating through Art (books, illustrations, short movies, cartoons, picture boxes) on Climate change and it's impact in our community.	As young Africans, we are well positioned to build support for the health and well-being of this and future generations. Here we turn our attention to one of the biggest global threats to health and well-being: climate change. When it comes to climate change impacts, Cameroon is particularly exposed because of its territories in the Sahelian zone, which are hit hard by desertification, and its territories in coastal areas that are threatened by rising sea levels. Due to the great diversity in Cameroon, the nature of climate change and its impacts vary widely from one region to another. However, all agroecological zones will be affected in one way or another as well as all the sectors. The Cameroonian people must therefore face an important challenge such as climate mobility, as their economic and social well-being are largely affected especially in rural areas. The adverse impacts of Climate Change aggravated by the increasing average global temperatures are a threat to the livelihoods of people in almost all sectors of the economies of Cameroon and Africa. Why are we doing this? Mostly people don’t always consider how climate change affects people’s lives and work. We want to change that. By raising the awareness, knowledge and capacity of adolescents, youth and youth-led organizations who have not yet engaged with the issue, to act against climate change and its impacts on health and well-being. We are also doing this because, despite the urgency for action, many decision-makers, from individual consumers to government leaders, are not doing enough to tackle climate change or its impacts on health and well-being of Cameroonian populations. Targets: We will act both at the individual as well as community level. Education is critical to promote climate action. As individuals we should to get informed and be well prepared for climate action and adopt lifestyle changes to protect the climate and encourage others to do the same. At the community level we want to spread the word: ADVOCATE FOR CLIMATE ACTION within the Cameroonian community. Younger and older generations must work together to tackle climate change for health and well-being. This is essential to enable more informed decision-making about sustainable lifestyles and consumption within our families and communities. Adolescents, youths and youth-led organizations must take leadership and mobilize action in our local communities. The overall aim is to contribute to sustainable development through Art. Art is a powerful tool of communication. As digital Artists we will maximize our approach on improving knowledge on climate change, educating the population to climate change adaptation by producing illustrations, short movies/cartoons, books,picture boxes addressing challenges and topics aligned with local needs and we will popularize them using campaigns in schools, universities and all over the country inviting decision makers, stars and any body from the society. Call on decision-makers to create opportunities for meaningful discussion of climate action, especially when none exist yet. Create our own online networks and platforms to engage other young people, and draw on trustworthy sources of information, such as the World Health Organization and other United Nations organizations, who use reliably accurate data. Being an ACMI Youth Forum delegate will help me enhance our capacity to take action on local level in our environment affect by climate change.

She is one person that do not take her work which involve changing the situation of community people and help make the environment a better place for granted. We work for humanity.	The climate is changing and our environment and weather are nolonger what it use to be. Climate change is impacting on our lives through our environment, their by making people more vulnerable by the day. Now this has pose a challenge that if not well addressed, more harm will be done. We are faced with a lot of natural disasters today as a result of climate. In my past project, it was on Preventing Violence Extremism so I had to in operate a climate component to it where the participants we're given trees to plant in their location to help the remember each other. That was a way of reminding them that we all need a conducive environment for peace to strive. We have experience the displacement of people as a result of climate related disasters, this people need to be reach out to with the knowledge required. Being part of this will open me up to more realities and measures of addressing it.

Since before I finish my Secondary school I started peace building work in 2015 because in our area we were suffering with a kinds of youths that are into drug addict, thugs, phone snatcher and the rest, so I organized a group to fight those things and make awareness about that. I name the Group Association for Peace Building and Leadership Training (Peace Club). After that we started visiting schools and create awareness and sensitization to the schools children. In that we reached at least more than 4000 people. And we are continue the intervention.	I need more training and knowledge about this things in order to organise more activities and create more opportunities to my fellow young people in Jos Plateau State and Nigeria at Large.

A holder of a Bachelor of Business Administration (Concentration in Finance and Management Information Systems) from Simon Fraser University. Kondwani has strong interests in the economic and environmental benefits of recycling would love to drive the adoption of a strong recycling culture in Zambia. She recently founded Green-Zed Waste Management. A social enterprise looking to immediately address the persistent street waste challenge faced by urban cities in Zambia. We're proposing an alternative solution that engages the private sector to participate in keeping the cities clean whilst focusing on recycling to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills which would in turn lead to a reduction in GHG emissions. Green-Zed also hosts clean-up and climate change awareness campaigns in schools as we believe this is a culture that has to be nurtured in our youth as they are not only tomorrow's leaders but today's. Children and Youth have the capacity to be agents of change and our goal is to empower them and provide them with a platform.	Women and children are usually disproportionately affected by climate change and man-made disasters yet they are not adequately represented or given the opportunity to attend forums such as COP27. I am a finance/operations specialist by profession but after returning to my home country I could not ignore some of the climate change related issues faced by the people of Zambia in particular women and children who are already marginalised members of society. That was one of the largest motivating factors to found Green-Zed. We are looking to address a climate change related program but wish to include and economically empower woman and youth by providing them with jobs in the green economy. I have been taking courses offered by the UN Climate Change Learning Partnership and doing lots of research to increase my knowledge and skillsets but believe the biggest change can be achieved by including the voices of those most likely to be or already high impacted by the adverse effects of climate change. Thus my motivation is to learn more and share that knowledge with my community but also to represent my country and provide a unique voice/perspective on the specific issues we are facing such as food insecurity and floods.

Chancy believes the voices of youth, women and other minorities need to be amplified to be included in climate policy to advance climate justice. He is also an honorary member of the United Communities for Transformation organization and a volunteer with the Red Cross of Malawi.	As a climate scientist, I look at how climate change is affecting the community I live in. I was born and raised in a refugee camp. Most refugees depend entirely on food aid and agriculture to survive. Due to climate change and weather-related events, most of the population is living below minimum food needs. However, I am pleased that forums such as the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative are helping to address climate-related displacement/migration while leveraging climate mobility.

As the climate is part of the environment and nobody can deny that the environment is being devastated, there is no way that the climate could remain unaffected by all that devastation. Even an Ancient Greek by the name of Theophrastus, living about 2,400 years ago, noticed that deforestation led to drier and warmer weather. He obviously had more sense than all the modern climate sceptics rolled into one. Their ignorance and stupidity have delayed action against its apocalyptic dangers, leaving things far too late to prevent the nightmare now unfolding. How bad is it going to be? The scariest part is that we don’t know. This is uncharted territory. Far too little research on the environment means that we only know a fraction of what is really going on. What we do know, is that everything is going in the wrong direction. Air, water and soil are being polluted, ground water is being depleted, soil is being degraded and eroded, animal species are going extinct and ecosystems are being destroyed at incredible rates while every day the addition of about 200,000 humans is making things worse. We can be sure, of course, of rising ocean levels with widespread flooding. It is also very likely that gulf streams will change their courses or cease to function completely, which could for instance make Western Europe sub-arctic. It is also possible that the huge and concentrated tracts of farmland that provide the bulk of human food will be lost. Warmer sea water is already diminishing life in the oceans. All this means that billions of human lives, yes billions not millions, are directly at risk. It is also inevitable that the deterioration of habitats will lead to mass migrations on a scale never seen before, with all the attendant social and political unrest.

823	Yuv	Sungkur	Green Growth Solutions	Komal Hassamal, Senior Climate Finance Expert: https://www.linkedin.com/in/komal-hassamal-4890a315/	Yuv Sungkur is a 23-year-old Mauritian Climate Advocate. He recently completed his master's degree in Global Environmental Governance, Sustainability, and Climate Change in the Netherlands. He did his bachelor’s degree in Political Science at in Canada, at McGill University. Passionate about climate change issues and fighting its impact on Small Islands and Developing States, he represented Mauritius in various international summits as a delegate like the 16th United Nations Climate Change Conference of Youth (COY16), held in Glasgow during the COP26, but also in Paris and New York for the Transforming Education Summit. A key highlight was his statement next to the United Nations Secretary-General in New York, where he voiced the struggles of small island states in the wake of the climate crisis. He is also the president and co-founder of a local humanitarian NGO – Food Water Hygiene (FWH) Mauritius – that seeks to support the population in need in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. His NGO seeks to fight poverty, support women's empowerment, and reduce food waste. Fervent about advocacy, he is also a Global Youth Ambassador at TheirWorld, a non-governmental organization committed to ending the global education crisis. His passion and strive for climate change came in 2020, after a second internship in a local Mauritian NGO where he learned the hardships and actual influence of climate disasters in Mauritius - and more globally, small island developing states. An interest in which he had the opportunity to expand through an internship at the Indian Ocean Commission in 2021, as he worked on a project that seeks to promote solutions for SIDS against climate change through regional collaboration in the Pacific, Caribbean, and Indian Ocean islands. In 2022, Yuv interned at the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), where he was affiliated to the Disasters and Conflicts Global Support Branch. Today, Yuv strives to mainstream the effects of climate change in SIDS, notably through public speaking events, like TEDx Talks, or written advocacy by being featured in national newspapers.	Climate mobility is a subject that immensely touches the people of small island nations. In 2021, I co-founded an NGO called Food Water Hygiene Mauritius. The NGO seeks to help the local communities affected by climate disasters. After one of the biggest cyclones that hit Mauritius in 2021, I met a mother who was seeking help in one of our operations. She was explaining how since the cyclone hit, her house got destroyed. Not only did she lost her food, furnitures, and overall quality of life – she emphasized the fact that it will take her months to re-establish what she had built, and that for the time being, she has to relocate. This is only one example of a family that is being displaced because of a climate disaster - and the hard truth is that this phenomenon, in small island nations, is recurrent and the people that are the most vulnerable are not being heard. I want to be able to voice their concerns, fears, and perspectives at the highest international conference so that I can come back to them to say that they were heard. I truly believe that becoming an ACMI Youth Forum delegate will give me this opportunity, but also open my eyes to people within the African continent with the same issues, and come back to my country with new innovative ideas to help the Mauritian communities that are facing displacement because of the climate crisis. African countries - as much as small island nations - are the most vulnerable, even though they contributed the least to the climate crisis. I truly believe it is crucial that we work hand in hand to amplify our voices at such a high-level conference. This year, COP27 is in Egypt and I believe it is the perfect opportunity to raise our voices so that people from all around the world understand the struggles we are facing being at the frontline.

In the longrun with the skills acquired, I intend to contribute conviniently to protecting savannas and be a stakeholder in decision making in my country and continent on climate and environment-related issues. Participating in various workshops and trainings as well as havin the opportunity to meet new persons with various experiences has boosted me to wanting to meet my objectives.	The motivations I have applying for the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative Youth Forum delegate for the COP 27 could be summarised to the experience I have seen within the framework of studies and internships. Firstly, its to have other perspectives and precautions that are taken in other parts of the Continent to manage and control climate mobility. The different control mechanisms and how countries anticipate on this consequence of climate change. Following various flood incidents in the Northern regions of Cameroon my country have influenced mass migratory waves towards the southern part of the country causing conflicts over resources and having the opportunity to participate in this kind of conference would certainly permit me propose lasting solutions to these conflicts.

The first and only daughter of my parents who was birthed in kano and raised in Jos, Plateau State Nigeria. Had my primary and secondary school in Jos and now, I'm currently a final year student of Business Administration in Ahmadu Bello University, zaria, Kaduna state,Nigeria. My hobbies are reading, cooking, traveling, singing and researching. I am social entrepreneur, an environmentalist, and a passionate humanitarian, who has participated voluntarily in life saving projects such as; polio immunization and sensitisation, sexual harassment and abuse campaigns, community and group cleanup exercise, fundraising campaigns for orphans and less privileged, as well as tree planting campaigns and awareness. An outgoing, trustworthy, honest, and friendly lady who supports teamwork, connecting with different people from all works of life and having ears to learn different languages. I can speak languages outside my tribe such as Hausa, Igbo (fluently) and the basics of Yoruba. My ability to easily connect me with people has made me gathered alot of experience and ideas.	It's not just a motivation to me, but a life-long hope and prayer to experience COP27. I have a strong believe that my active participations in climate actions and activities that bring about a sustainable and healthy environment would someday give me the privilege to take part in great events as this. Where I can meet people from all works of life and hear their own experiences and efforts put into climate actions. It would be an educative and Enlightening event worthy of life experience. The excitement that comes from other people who have had the privilege to attend the last event is something that has always kept the push in me to keep applying over and over again as an ACMI Youth Forum Delegate. I'm very sure that after given the privilege to participate in this event as a delegate, alot of things would change; not just around me, but around my community as well as near by communities because; I will gather alot of shared ideas and come back to Nigeria to advocate more and Enlighten people the more. Another motivation is to encourage my friends who see me doing all the things I do, and call it a waste of time. I even get names like "mai shara" in Hausa, which means "Dirty picker" but knowing that I'm fighting to save not just my life, their lives and the lives of their unborn, I never get discouraged but keep to the sustainable Goal. And this would be marked in my community, Family and friends memory for a life time to be the first person and lady to leave Nigeria for a Climate action events like COP27. My resent experience as the teamlead representing African CleanUp initiative Jos; for the just concluded World CleanUp day, organized for the people of Jos, Plateau state, Nigeria and supported by Nestlé Nigeria and Maggi, to clean one of the biggest Market in town, was a mind blowing encounter.

834	Osigai	Walter Etepesit	Youngo	http://www.youngo.uno/	My name is Walter Osigai Etepesit, An undergraduate public administration student from Uganda who is passionate about climate advocacy and based currently in Kampala Capital City. I am a 23 year old who is also a youth leader with an aim of changing millions of young lives all over Uganda and Africa in large. Being a founder of Teso Youth Development Association, an initiative that is empowering youth socioeconomically such as climate adaption through use of favourable agricultural practices by implementing sustainable development goals using climate eco-friendly methods. Through that way we can make Africa a better place like the rest of the world. I will be grateful if considered and given a positive feedback.	My experience as a climate advocate has seen me move across local districts and cities across Uganda to sensitize people about climate change and mitigation and tsee how the environment has been violated many times thus making me to join youngo to give a hand towards the organisation's goals and targets. The twenty first century has brought unprecedented climate change , a global financial crisis and economic recession and growing global south inequality. This issues then compel me to define new objectives and methods reevaluate existing theories to strategically be a senior campaigner globally.

Our intermediate climate is very crucial for our well being in day to day activities.every individual has a right and a responsibility therefore to cater for it's well being regardless of age, race, gender, social status and many other units of existence.when we all do this with unison, work is made easier and we are therefore not subjected to adverse climatic conditions due to changes in human behavior like; cutting off of tress without replacement, uncontrolled waste management procedures and other more climate polluters. These polluters may lead to drought, diseases and mutations that may affect the current generation and even coming generations internally and internationally.we are therefore required to do our best level maintain our environment to avoid these problems for our wellbeing as well as our climate.

I then expanded my research by taking the time to participate in many conferences, workshops, and summits on environmental issues. From there, I decided to get involved in the environmental club of my faculty, and eventually became part of the Global Youth Biodiversity Network as a member of the coordination team of the Moroccan chapter. In parallel to my interests in the environment, I like to spend my leisure time reading, writing, cooking, and hiking. Throughout my journey, I aspire to be a positive force for my family and the girls in my community	For me, delegation in COP 27 will be a valuable tool for strategic planning, personal growth, and promoting development. Although I belong to Morocco which is a rich country in terms of biodiversity faunistic and floristic, morocco is now under huge damage and threatened largely because of the climate change effects (temperature waves and anthropogenic activities, water resources scarcity. Fires ....), I want to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate to raise the voice of African and Moroccan citizens, especially on biodiversity and environmental issues, mobilizing youth to advocate for policies and decisions at the national and regional levels, coordinating youth participation in the implementation of national biodiversity plans, and promoting environmental management and conservation for sustainable development many activities (beach cleaning campaign, teaching children in rural areas, and planting trees ...). For me, there are several points that drive me to take part in this delegation : First, "inspiration": I want to open my eyes to new ideas about leadership and development, but I would also like to be able to contribute my own, through this opportunity is going to help me to share the same passion and interests with other activists, Second: I want to expand and build a strong connection with diverse youth and stakeholders from various cultural and educational backgrounds, to exchange ideas and experiences in order to do action. Finally, the COP27 for biodiversity will be an optimal atmosphere for me to broaden and build strong knowledge and gain valuable experience that will encourage me to improve and grow personally and professionally. *Currently, i am working on a project called " khayrat jbala" , The project aims at the economic development of the region by creating job opportunities for marginalized women in the jbala region. -Participation in the project Act for AL Bi'A ( France, Germany, and Morocco). - Participation in the research project on « Mobilizing Youth and Civil Society For climate change resilience in the parks of Talassemtane and Bouhachem » in collaboration with ATED association and EU. -Participation in the RESTART Morocco project, “Reviving Social Entrepreneurship of young girls for Territorial valorization in the Agri-food and Renewable Energy sectors” - Oral communication presented at the First Moroccan-Spanish Conference of the Mediterranean Intercontinental Biosphere Reserve (MIBR), Chefchaouen -Participation in the research project on the mammals of the national park of ''Talassemtane'' region of Chefchaouen, in collaboration with the Spanish Society of Biological Studies ''SEBI''.

As a journalist, I have covered politics, entertainment, traffic, diplomacy, climate and environment for South Sudan Broadcasting Corporation, the premier TV station since independence. I have also covered the United Nations' humanitarian, climate and environmental activities in the country, as well as traveling alongside governemnt delegations to foreign engagements as an imbedded reporter. Currently, I'm actively involved in highlighting the enormous imapct of floods across South Sudan. I do this by assigning local youths to snap short clips and pictures of submerged homes and drowned livestock, which I then share widely with my network of journalists, foreign missions, international orgainzations and government functionaries for a possible action. During the conflict from 2013 through 2017, I traveled a lot to the conflict-torn areas to document inciddents of human rights abuses. I also worked briefly with a national political party as a policy analyst and communication strategist. I have attended leadership and professional fellowships, including the prestigious Mandela Washington Fellwoship for Young African leaders, widely known as MWF, in the United States of America, the Korean Global Leaders Fellowship among others. Aside from these, I run my own TV show called Chol Duang television program, on which we discuss current affairs, youth employment opportunities, civic responsibilities and talent search.	My motivation for applying to become an ACMI youth forum delegate is informed by the runaway climate crisis. The concern for climate change globally goes back to my primary level education, during which my teachers and school inspectors would talk emphatically about the need to introduce climate science to young children. That time, we would be taught under trees as school structures were either brought down or submerged in floodwater, rendering them unsafe for learning. As I became a journalist, I was taken for climate change workshops to equip me with scientific, informational and scholarly climate literature, essential for my work. Sometimes, the US embassy and other missions in our country host climate seminars to help raise awareness among the population. I am also encouraged by the urgency this climate phenomenon requires from everyone worldwide, and particularly in poor countries. If granted the opportunity to attend this great event, I hope to learn more from the climate scientists, experts, policy-makers, and influencers. My country, South Sudan, is experiencing serious impacts of the changing climate. compounded by the civil war, it is posing a real threat to our existence as a nation. Therefore, getting this opportunity would mean imparting the knowledge to others who might, as well, share it on, thus saving lives in the long run. I also hope to become a climate ambassador for my people and the COP27 fraternity. Once I return from the COP27 conference, I will ensure I dedicate an airtime for climate topics on SSBC-TV.

Je suis motivé à postuler en tant que délégué jeunesse pour la lutte contre la mobilité climatique parceque je suis jeune, la jeunesse représente pour moi un levier important et une force de proposition dans la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique. Je pense que je pourrais également apprendre de l'expérience des autres jeunes qui sont engagés dans la lutte.

Volunteer in the Scouts and Girl Guides movement since 2004 and a civil society activist, and founder of the Heroville Organization for Sustainable Development I started journalism since 2011, at the beginning of the revolution, I was a reporter and editor for one of the newspapers at the time, then I changed my academic major from the Faculty of Medicine to the Media to follow my passion academically and professionally. I took many trainings on content and film making, including with BB Media Action, Open Media Hub, Reporters Without Borders, and others. Humanitarian and civil work has always been an important part of my life, starting from a young age in Scouting and continuing with me in civil and humanitarian work that sheds light on migration issues and the challenges faced by migrants in Libya as well. I found myself helping others and also supporting them through the stories I produced and films Which I produce and which shed light on important topics in society such as the stereotypical view of women, youth projects and inspiring stories as well, which contribute to raising awareness and encouraging young people in our society, and I will continue my passion in shedding light on these topics.	Sadous Al-Jahmi, a civil activist, documentary film maker and influential in the local community, I submit my request to join the global climate conference because I will be an effective and fruitful presence for my community and because I have never attended a climate conference before and I am interested in environmental issues and the change that affects our societies. I worked in many afforestation projects, including with scouts and others with local organizations. I also did my journalistic work, covering many cleaning campaigns for the beaches of the sea in the city of Benghazi, re-consumption and raising awareness about preserving the water wealth that we are distinguished by.

I am currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science at the university of Cape Coast, Ghana where I serve at the Local Committee Vice President Finance, Legalities and Administration for AIESEC In University Of Cape Coast. I am confident,passionate and proactive. Growing up in the pursuit to achieve my goals and dreams more than I can just imagine. Roles and interests I work on the National Supporting Board for AIESEC in Germany where I am the LC manager for the world’s largest lesson program and the icomms manager for AIESEC in Poland on the Entity support team ( the Ethics subcommittee). I am passionate about diplomacy, international relations and the United Nations sustainable development goals and a debater. I love making friends and I am free spirited person.	Climate change is widely expected to produce new and/or intensified mobility patterns, including migration and displacement. However, research on the relationship between climate change and human mobility is limited, especially regarding the role of governance contexts and interventions in shaping mobility responses. As an environmental science student and an African I feel more drawn to this because of the passion I have for nature and feeling of obligatory responsibility for the environment
862	Ahmad	Abdulhadi	Bayero University, Kano	Prime Tutors and Associate	My name is Ahmad Abdulhadi On April 27, 2000, I was born in Babura, Jigawa State, and completed my primary and junior secondary education in the same town before continuing on to Science Secondary School Lautai in Gumel, Jigawa State, one of the top four schools in northern Nigeria.After that, I wrote a university entrance exam and went to Bayero University Kano to pursue my bachelor of science in microbiology, where I am currently in my final year of study. Throughout my life, I have been a curious person with a flair for volunteering on campus as well as off campus. These blends of experiences have nurtured an ambitious person in me and also prepared me for future challenges. I have become a person of extreme and diverse abilities. Since my childhood, I was raised to be a tool in sustaining a better and more comfortable environment. I held various positions from primary school, where I was a lass monitor for a period of 6 years; during my junior secondary education, I was a time keeper prefect for a period of 2 years; and also during my senior secondary school education, I was a house captain prefect for a period of one year. As a president of a community boys organization, I was able to organize campaigns on drug abuse, human trafficking as part of the European Union mission and also against female genital mutilation. A lot of youth, about 42, refrained from illegal drug use. I got my interest in addressing people’s problems when in my community a high of drug use was making our youth involved in a lot of heinous activities. That was when I figured out a massive campaign could do some wonders and I sought advice from the elders and other community leaders. Being a student of microbiology, I have become a team player. I have been hoping to one day address one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), among which is climate action, which has been one of the greatest global threats. I have gotten my inspiration for solving global issues and being in one of the programs like this advocacy would be my greatest achievement in contributing towards sustaining a better community. Garnering these skills makes an ambitious person, which I am today. I am ambitious because I want to be part of making this world a sustainable and better place. I became determined and resourceful enough to prepare for what the future might hold, and determined to take all the challenges I might come across along the way. by reading a book by one of America’s best novelists, Brian Tracy, titled "Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life" I realized that making an impact doesn’t depend on where the person comes from but where and how far the person is determined to go. One just needs to change his corrupt mindset, which tells him that those places are for certain people, and become someone with a positive mindset.	I am a very diverse, active, and intelligent person. One of my most distinguishing characteristics is the array of experiences I have had. I am a student of microbiology with a flair for art and creativity. I am a person with a technical attitude and an interest in leadership. I also have a passion for understanding quite a lot of cultures and traditions around the world. As a former delegate at the 2022 World Bank Group Youth Summit, these skills have provided me with a broad perspective and a variety of degrees of knowledge in a variety of topics such as exercising leadership, UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and inclusion for equitable growth. experiences have shaped the person I am today. I believe that this unique blend of experiences has made me a person with an original point of view and a diverse capacity. I have so much interest in being an advocate for the UN 2030 agenda by addressing issues facing my community among the five critical dimensions and 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs), which include climate justice, good health and wellbeing, and decent work and economic growth. Being part of the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) would really pave my way to addressing issues as part of the UNIEF intervention’s. change has been one of the world’s greatest threats as it leads to an increase in migration and displacement, especially in Asia and Africa, because of its involvement in human mobility as a result of severely destroying the environment where people live. As a youth with a lot to do, like what Greta Thunberg says, "in the year around 2050, perhaps we will not even be able to marry, or even have children of our own" because of how the climate will deteriorate by then, therefore we demand justice to climate. Currently, the massive flooding incidence in northern Nigeria, Jigawa State and Yobe State, Nigeria is among the implications of not doing justice to climate related issues. A lot of families have been displaced. Because of the current situation, agencies like UNICEF and the World Bank have been in the forefront of providing to the affected areas. Thus, as a young and also educated resident, adding my voice will save not only my state but also the globe. As they say, "To be silent is to be complicit." I am more determined that when youth share ideas and are involved in making noise globally pertaining to climate justice, the world leaders will listen, and appropriate action will be taken to ensure the safety of one's health and planetary health, as the two approaches are directly linked to climate mobility and also human mobility as animals, the environment, and humans are involved. It will be my greatest achievement to be part of this initiative and to add my voice to this wonderful approach.

This is the Genesis of a clean and calm environment started by influence from my grand-dad for his love of planting different species of trees around our compound and donating seedlings to my village mates and My Dad's love of flowers and fruit trees started. I have always desired to get an opportunity to advocate to the community and my country at large for the benefits of a clean and conducive environment which will lead to a good climatic condition, which most of the people take it for granted, I have been able to advocate for this throughout my life.	I had the urge to get atleast a larger platform to advocate for a good climatic condition since I was young, I feel this is the right opportunity for me. I have been advocating for this in my primary school- Mundika girls, my highschool - Nangina girls and in my college too. At most it has always worked out well, though in some instances people tend to give up maib on irrigating plants during drought seasons, especially back in my village is a semi -desert. In my college life it has been effective in planting trees and flowers since the place receives alot of rain.
875	Elizabeth	Otuma	Capuchin Television Network & AMECEA Onlin	https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHPJTU2lq20S3kQoDONYHgQ	Elizabeth Otuma is a Kenyan graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Communication & Journalist from Moi University in Eldoret, Kenya. She is currently working as a content producer and bilingual reporter for Capuchin Television Network. She also writes weekly articles for the Association of Member Episcopal Conferences in Eastern Africa (AMECEA News website). As a communications and media practitioner with six years of experience and exposure to fast-paced broadcast media house operations, Elizabeth has expressed ardent interest in active conceptualization, correlation, and dissemination of practical solutions geared toward addressing disastrous conflicts in the environment, which is undeniably the lifeblood of sustainable peace, social, and economic development. Growing up in Matopeni Village slum, one of the informal settlements in Kenya with high levels of environmental pollution, fueled her interest to explore ecological injustice and its aftermath. She keenly observed poor disposal of waste, continuous burning of fossil fuels, and deforestation for charcoal and timber, which in turn increased their susceptibility to the adverse impacts of extreme weather events associated with climate change. Her active involvement in environmental conservation budded six years ago while interning at the Royal Media Services (Citizen Television). My stories were broadcast in prime-time news generating a lot of conversations through in-house feedback platforms as well as on social media. E.g. Her story on a Kenyan invention of a solar-powered bike rekindled discussions on the need for alternative clean energy in the country. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OytnWaIZUdI&t=11s Elizabeth’s ardent interest in environmental milestones earned her a key role as a communications and media specialist at the 20TH Plenary Assembly of the Association of Member Episcopal Conferences in Eastern Africa (AMECEA), which centered on the theme, "Environmental Impact on Integral Human Development." The quadrennial high-profile convention, which was held in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania from 10th to 17th July 2022, brought together hundreds of delegates and their leaders, both religious and political from more than 13 nations across the globe, including the President of the United Republic of Tanzania, Her Excellency Samia Suluhu Hassan, to discourse local, regional and global ecological perspective, and propound ways to promote and amplify actions to achieve environmental justice in AMECEA region and beyond. She was tasked with broadcasting daily updates throughout the plenary sessions through live commentaries and interviews on television, translation, and write-ups on AMECEA Online. Elizabeth Otuma performed exceptionally well in her Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) and qualified to pursue highly sought-after undergraduate programs, but she purposefully chose to enroll in a communication course because she believes in the power of telling impactful stories to engage young people in discussing, amplifying, and executing environmental actions to achieve ecological justice and equilibrium.	I have an avid interest in Human-Wildlife conflicts; natural and artificial disasters, empirical projections, and ensuing conversations that support long-term environmental preservation, and integral human development. I strongly believe in the power of science journalism and evidence-based policy-making in addressing overarching environmental crises. My experience thus far has made it clear that effective communication of local, regional, and global ecological situations, including interventions propounded to address the issues, is essential to winning the fight against environmental degradation and depletion. My upbringing in Matopeni Village slum, one of Kenya's informal settlements with high levels of environmental degradation, greatly influenced my interest in ecological injustice and its impact on humans. I paid close attention to the improper disposal of garbage, the ongoing burning of fossil fuels, and the clearing of forests for charcoal, timber, and the expansion of slum areas, all of which predisposed humans to the adverse climate-induced disasters. In recent statistics on deforestation in Kenya, for instance, the Ministry of Energy reveals that about 90 percent of rural households use firewood for cooking and heating, while 80 percent of urban households use charcoal. The ministry estimates that the country has lost 49.8kha of humid primary forest, an equivalent of 14% of the country’s total tree cover. Majority of slum dwellers are forced to cling to harmful practices to survive due to a lack of necessities and services coupled with inadequate or absence of information about environmentally friendly alternatives. I would, therefore, recommend the adoption of the Rogerian approach to environmental deterioration by addressing crises through the anchor point of the ecocide perpetrators. I feel the need to engage in conversations with those who continue to engage in ecologically hazardous habits to better understand their motives and to discuss potential solutions, considering how well they work in other regions. In today’s increasingly digitalized global village with the constant outbreak of information and misinformation, there is a dire need for reliable, consistent, and effective communication about human actions and inactions that continue to endanger the very existence of humanity. I am confident that the world will be a better place ecologically if more people in rural and urban informal settlements are educated about responsible interaction with the environment through effective communication geared towards addressing existing and emergent ecological crises to invigorate the symbiotic relationship between humans and wildlife. Attending the COP27 as an ACMI Youth Delegate is a great opportunity to interact and share knowledge and experiences with highly motivated environmental activists; grassroots leaders, international journalists, and other stakeholders who are tirelessly working to inspire a new wave of vibrant actions and campaigns on climate mobility. This will significantly improve my prospects in the field, and place me in a better position to positively influence public opinion and government policy on the best practices of climate campaigning models through impactful journalism. I am convinced that a comprehensive motive-solution strategy that is properly communicated across all platforms will have a stronger impact on people's behaviors and priorities about the current human-nature predicament.
876	benjamin	odhiambo	saniwise technologies	benjamin odhiambo	i was born in nyalenda slums which is a low income area of kisumu,kenya,having interacted much with the isue of poor sanitation and its diverse impact to my community members i was motivated to seek for solutions to these problems.	As environmentalist, conscious about climate change, i am driven to providing mitigation measures to reverse the effects of climate change. Saniwise Toilet employs circular economy approach, where the fresh human waste is converted to manure. This by-products, the manure, can be used in crop farming to improve on food security. In addition, we all come from low income areas, where we get to interract and experience the aforementioned challeges. This has greately inspired the developing of Saniwise toilet as a feasible solution in poor urban and peri-urban areas with no access no sewer system. Furthermore, we are motivated to reducing ecological and environmental footprints of plastic wastes by compressing disposed plastic bottles and other plastic materials and using them to make the toilet's super structure hence mitigating climate change. Creating a business out of this solution will also see us develop decent job opportunities for the youths in the sanitation sector. We are therefore interested in being part of COP27 , mobilise resources and to share ideas to see us launch Saniwise toilets in the target population areas.

Despite the myriad of financial commitments and clean energy initiatives being currently driven by private and public financial institutions in Nigeria and around the world, policy and institutional barriers that make green/sustainable/climate finance difficult to access for green entrepreneurs and mini-grid developers still exist. This i witness on a daily basis as a consultant for clean energy projects in Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa. I intend to become a delegate in other to share and exchange insights and solutions to scaling access to climate based on my professional and academic experiences in line with the overarching theme of COP27. I hope to gain sterling and deeply refined leadership, civic responsibility, and business perspectives that will enable me to make an impact on a diverse, dynamic, and sustainable basis, in Nigeria. I hope to employ them in unlocking the resource and human potentials of Nigeria over the next five years, particularly in the areas of sustainable and green finance, climate resilience and adaptation, and environmental social and governance (ESG) as tool for attracting sustainable and derisked investments, as currently these issues are still very much unaddressed in Nigerian policies and industrial practices, and their potentials to drive the achievement of SDGs largely unmined.

880	teboho	makhalanyane	Anglican Environmental Network	www.greenaglicans.org	Teboho " Bino" Makhalanyane is a young CLIMATE activist from Cape Town South Africa who grew up in a small mining town call Welkom in the more central state of the country. Growing up I was never exposed to any nature beauty as all we had was sticking mine dams, piles and piles of mine waste dumped on our site views with little access to parks beside as only the privileged stay near those areas. It continues to break my heart that unless your one is from a middle class or wealthy family people continue to live in the site of mine waste, ( which we grew up wanting to work for as its the main sores on economic stability and income). I started being an environmental activist in 2014 when I was exposed to care for creation issues, which touched my heart more than my mind , I have since then been active and as once a youth president(2014-2021) in the Anglican church of Southern Africa( South Africa, Lesotho, Namibia, Mozambique , Angola and eSwatini) where I used my influence to mobilise young Christians to issues around care for creation and environmental activism/advocacy work. I am currently working as a full-time Green Anglican Youth Coordinator in the Anglican church of Southern Africa, where my focus is mobilizing young people around issues of care for creation, we do Creation Care prayers, webinars , trainings on environmental awareness and advocacy , mine is more to journey with on issues of environment and build a strong generation on eco warriors. I am currently focusing on teenagers we do urban rehabilitation, tree planting/growing for confirmations, care for creation teachings and advocacy work, not only do I work with Anglicans but I do work within ecumenical and faith body structures which more inclusive and gets to reach more young people.	I have a good following around young people in Southern Africa and have good network around Africa. I am one of the people with good people skill were I have been and still able to connect easy with people even outside my faith group, race and gender. It is sad that many of our grassroots people are not exposed or even aware of what COP is and what it means to them , mine would be to take the message down to the people and ensure that the voice of those in less privileged areas is heard so that this becomes our thing. It is my believe that resolutions / commitments made by our heads of states are to be implemented at local level and without the involvement of the people these just end up being statements . Faith communities have a strong following of people and Christianity in my region is big making it easy to reach out to many people , which means all the commitments and learnings from ACMI will allow me to take the message down to the people.

As an innovative and enterprising young Nigerian woman, it has always been a desire in my heart to see that the world and our environment is a better place, adjusting to the ever changing dynamism of global warming. As a secondary school student in 2013, my involvement in discussing issues around the environment brought me and a few of my friends to start a small club to engage our immediate community by providing sanitation awareness. Around April 2022, I volunteered with CISCOPE a Nigerian NGO focus on women and children in their distribution of relief materials to families affected by flood in KOGI State. The world is ever changing because of climate change and the world is in dire need of champions to provide clarity on the impact of climate change on food, environment and the entire world economy. I look forward to championing courses that promotes a healthy and safe world.	Although I have never participated physically in the ACMI Youth forum delegated for COP27. Iam motivated because communities living in coastal area in Nigeria are not spared from the devastating impact of flooding on their lives and livelihood. The negative impact of climate change on communities is significant, it affect both old and young, female and male but felt more by women and children. As a young person, I will like to actively participate in this year's negotiations.

888	Cheikh Hady	DIASSE	Gener'Action for entraid and citizenship	www.genacsn.com ( in development)	My name is Cheikh Hady DIASSE, I am a Senegalese national. I am 26 years old. After obtaining my degree in civil engineering, I knew very early on the climate challenges facing the growth of urbanization and green cities. The trigger for my orientation towards energies in the building sector was mainly my experience resulting from the collaboration with an Australian during a project of manufacture of vegetable bricks. During this project, I learned a lot about energy efficiency in buildings, especially the use of insulating materials, and above all the major challenges facing our continent in the coming years. I am a lover of the environment, buildings and climate. Entrepreneurship is without a doubt my first passion as I started it from the moment I graduated from high school until today. In fact, I have several projects in progress, which I intend to make viable during my stay here. I also have parallel skills that allow me to carry out my projects, such as public speaking, mastery of building software, a very good basis in project management and finally, linguistic tools including English and French. I am open to collaboration with any organization and investor, focused on the implementation of best practices in Africa and emerging economies to play my part in the 17 SDGs. Professional and associative achievements : - Hse analyst at OCP africa - Establishment of a startup (kujenga building) since 2018 under development with new innovations. - Participation in various startup challenges including: Expresso innovation challenge, Kokutana 2018, SpaceApp, Enactus Senegal 2017 and 2018 - Creation of a non-profit association to help young people and guide them in entrepreneurship and citizen acts.	I am very motivated to be a delegate because I really want to discover to be able to sensitize my fellow young people on the climatic questions. I am at the moment president of an association in Senegal which is active in the environmental field. I was vice team leader of the global gaol jam organised at the Mohammed VI polytechnic university and at the same time I was ambassador of sustainable development of the university. I am very passionate about these issues and I hope to participate in the COP27 to learn and discover in order to raise awareness and denounce more
889	Mogotladi	Kgomoeswana	African Climate Alliance	https://africanclimatealliance.org/	My name is Mogotladi Letago Kgomoeswana, a Masters student in the School of Geo- and Spatial Science in the Geography department at North West University in Mafikeng, South Africa. I am also a #CancelCoal Task Force member at the African Climate Alliance. My research looks at the impact of climate change on smallholder farmers and agriculture in north eastern Limpopo and how farmers in the area are using indigenous knowledge to mitigate against the harsh impacts. In addition to my work on climate and its impacts on African agriculture, I am passionate about education and access to it. I am currently the Chairperson for Limpopo Mentorship Programme, a non-profit organisation where we assist learners in their penultimate and final years of high school by offering mentorship, tutoring of school subjects as well as assisting them in applying for university. We target schools where learners do not have resources and help them in achieving their dreams of making it into university. Since its commencement in 2018, we have assisted 60 learners in getting into University, Universities of Technology and Colleges from the province of Limpopo. I am the winner of the 2021 South African FameLab competition and part of the 2022/23 Zanele Mbeki Development Trust Fellowship as well as the Black Women in Science Fellowship.	My research in the natural sciences, together with my knowledge of environmental and ecological systems, ecosystem services and climate change are my primary motivation for applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27. There is a great reduction in agricultural production due to increased temperatures and decreased rainfall. There is also an increase in natural hazards that destroy crops, damage farms and kill livestock which all add to food insecurity in South Africa. My research actively looks at seeking out inexpensive methods derived from indigenous knowledge that can help mitigate against the harsh impacts of climate variability. The use of indigenous knowledge is pivotal to conversations around sustainability because the very nature of indigenous methods is sustainability. It is important for the youth to take active steps to find ways to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This means seeking alternatives that drive sustainability to better not only the country but the globe as a whole. I would like the opportunity to attend become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 and return with the knowledge and resources to continue making a meaningful contribution to initiatives aimed at sustainable development in my agricultural region in the Limpopo province of South Africa as well as learn from other country folk to expand my horizons as a young scientist. I will use the experience from COP27 to integrate my work on climate with intersectionality, especially where policy is concerned. Coming from Southern Africa, I believe that black women and girls are a group highly vulnerable to ecological impacts because of the domestic work they do. If there is a lack of water due to decreased precipitation or decreased crop production due to rising temperatures, households (often lead by women in Africa) will suffer. I would like to use my knowledge as a scientist and my lived experience as a black woman to contribute to sustainable development policy that will favour marginalized groups of people most affected by the effects of ecological degradation.
890	Sandra	Ruhizi	Kijana factory	https://instagram.com/kijanafactory	My name is Sandra Ruhizi. I am 22 years old, an accounting student and a sustainable agriculture advocate with an incredible passion to empower female farmers to create sustainable agriculture and build sustainable income. I work as the deputy coordinator of Commonwealth Youth Climate Change Network (CYCN) for Tanzania Chapter . And I am a youth advisory panel member of Tujibebe and Girl Effect, a global youth advisory panel. I am the founder of Kijana Factory, an agriculture platform that empowers female farmers to produce sustainable agriculture and assists youth in developing a passion for agriculture business. I am also a YOUNGA delegate and I work with different organizations in the areas of climate change and gender equality as a volunteer to help many youth and young girls find their voice to create a better generation.	I am very passionate about climate change, and my passion led me to focus on ensuring my society enjoys healthy products by focusing on sustainable agriculture by empowering female farmers to produce quality products and build sustainable income. My motivation for applying as an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP 27 is my passion for sustainable agriculture and my aim to empower women farmers to create quality products and reduce poverty levels that affect our food production. My passion is to meet different leaders to share my stories concerning sustainable agriculture and how my society has been affected due to climate change and how we are fighting against climate change. It is also an opportunity to meet different young people and share ideas on how to fight against climate change and build a better generation by ensuring everyone enjoys a clean environment and has access to clean and qualified food. I come from a family who are farmers. My grandma is a banana farmer in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, and my mother is a gardener. So, inspired by those two inspiring people, I have a dream to ensure that we as a country and society can produce quality food and earn a sustainable income from farming.I found Kijana Factory, a platform that helps female farmers to produce sustainable agriculture and earn a sustainable income, as well as assists youth in building agriculture businesses. From the Kijana factory, we have built over 16 youth agriculture businesses and assisted over 20 female farmers in producing sustainable agriculture. I am also a programmer and I have participated in different climate hackathons. Most recently, I participated in Kesho Yetu Climate Change organized by UNA Tanzania and UNA Finland. Our idea was "Niokote," which helps to reduce plastic waste among societies and increase the mobility of youth in climate change activities. The goal is to develop a system that connects youth bulk plastics collectors and recycling industries in order to ensure long-term income for youth and easy tracking of plastic collections by recycling industries.

Marus also worked as an administrative staff at the Confucius Institute of Abomey-Calavi for 2 years, as a community manager for 1 year at Orion-Origin, and is the founder and secretary-general of Healthy Climate Action NGO since 2020. His research interests include but are not limited to the social dimensions of climate change (climate justice, climate adaptation, and mitigation policies, gender-responsive climate actions, etc.), and the linkage between circular economy and the UN 2030 Agenda. Marus, while currently studying for his Ph.D. in Science of Environment and Natural Resources Protection Law at the Research Institute of Environmental Law of WuhanUniversity in China is also a virtual intern and working to support both the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Benin Country Office and the Regional Bureau for Africa (RBA) front office in New York. Marus is a double Master’s degree holder in International Law (Wuhan University, China) & Legal Sciences and Political Science (Abomey-Calavi University, Benin). He also holds a Bachelor’s degree in English (American Studies).	As an International Environmental Law graduate (2019) and a Doctoral researcher (2020-2024) in international environmental and climate law, I am an excellent candidate for the COP27 Delegate position being offered by the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative. ACMI ’s mission and culture suit what I offer as an international environmental/climate law student, a climate activist, a youth inclusion advocate, and a circular economy champion. I have 5 years of progressive experience as a researcher in international environmental law and governance issues, rooted in the fields of environmental rule of law and Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs), and the social dimensions of climate change (climate justice, climate adaptation, and mitigation policies, gender-responsive climate actions, etc.). At HCA, I developed, coordinated, and implemented a dozen environmental and climate projects for sustainable development. I conducted afforestation, reforestation, recycling, reduction, and reuse campaigns, making the circular economy notion happen in many communities. Some of my other notable accomplishments at HCA include successfully coordinating and managing an adaptation grant program of nearly USD 20000 in Savalou, central Benin. Lastly, I coordinated and managed an environmental awareness conference that drew over 100 attendees, and developed and implemented a youth-oriented program toward gender equality. In addition, as a hybrid intern at the UNDP Benin CO and the Regional Bureau for Africa's front office, I was the focal point for the Songhai 2.0 resilient and integrated agriculture project developed using appropriate technologies and local solutions to climate change hazards to meet food security and sustainable development. Being a doctoral researcher in the science of environment and natural resources protection law gives me valuable experience in how to conduct thorough research and recommend policy options for action. For example, I was able to deliver concrete climate change and sustainable use of natural resources policy recommendations to two city halls in southern Benin for implementation. I know my qualification and experience will prove valuable as a COP27 Delegate. Thanks to my participation in the COP, I will acquire more knowledge about the practical action needed to attain SDG 13 as an urgent necessity. I will also build on my advocacy for climate action, specifically adaptation and resilient agriculture practices in rural areas in West Africa where my NGO is active. I will continue organizing my monthly awareness campaigns on climate change and the circular economy. I look forward to hearing good news from you. Sincerely, Marus GBOMAGBA Ph.D. candidate (Research Institute of Environmental Law of Wuhan University)
892	David	Arinze	Diamond Development Initiatives	www.ddinigeria.org	As the Program Officer, Off-Grid Energy at Diamond Development Initiatives (DDI), I have been working with the United States African Development Foundation (USADF) to implement and support energy entrepreneurs and businesses. Throughout my role, I have managed grants from USADF and worked closely with local energy entrepreneurs, regulatory authorities, vendors, and other stakeholders to remotely and physically manage the deployment and sustainability of off-grid energy solutions in both unserved and underserved communities across Nigeria. I have done this through the provision of technical assistance in the form of due diligence, grants management, project monitoring, remediation support and the facilitation of access to follow-on financing. I have also assisted agricultural cooperatives and businesses in integrating renewable energy to create sustainable agriculture and food security. I have also been instrumental in carrying out tasks which include assisting applicants in developing their project funding proposals for submission to USADF. Conducting market and financial analyses and management capacity assessments to demonstrate the project's viability and sustainability, and formulating budgets, implementation plans, training plans, and monitoring and evaluation plans with measurable and realistically-achievable performance indicators and targets. Assisting USADF-supported SMEs in conceptualizing and implementing program strategies, product and supply chain development, marketing, business management, and other organizational development activities to improve their competitiveness and implement their market penetration and diversification strategies. Conducting regular on-site monitoring visits and assisting grantees to improve internal systems for maximizing efficiencies and effectiveness in preparation for enterprise expansion. I have deployed projects such as solar mini-grids, cold storage solutions, drying solutions, kiosks, milling solutions, biogas rural electrification, solar home solutions, stand-alone solutions, etc. The over 60 renewable energy projects I have implemented, have generated about 2MW of off Grid electricity and created over 10,000 connections, impacting 8000 households, 2000 businesses and 500,000 people. I also serve as the Global Focal Point of the SDG7 Youth Constituency under the UN Major Group for Children and Youth.	Climate leadership in Nigeria hasn’t been impressive as there has been a failure of the Nigerian power sector to provide adequate electricity supply to domestic households and industrial producers despite a rapidly growing economy, some of the world's largest deposits of coal, oil and gas and the country's status as Africa's largest oil producer. Currently only 40% of Nigeria's population is connected to the energy grid whilst power supply difficulties are experienced around 60% of the time. At best, average daily power supply is estimated at four hours, although several days can go by without any power at all. Neither power cuts nor restorations are announced, leading to calls for a load shedding schedule during the COVID-19 lockdowns to aid fair distribution and predictability.' Power supply difficulties cripple the agricultural, industrial and mining sectors and impede the Nigeria's ongoing economic development. The energy supply crisis is complex, stems from a variety of issues and has been ongoing for decades. Most Nigerian businesses and households that can afford to do so run one or more diesel-fueled generators to supplement the intermittent supply. Currently, Nigeria generates a small amount of energy from renewable sources such as hydro power, solar, wind and biomass. I continue to contribute my quota to addressing this challenge through the implementation renewable clean energy projects through clean energy companies through the facilitation of access to funding for over 60 grantees from 2014 to date and these projects have generated over 2 MW of off Grid electricity and created over 10,000 connections, affecting over 8000 households, 2000 businesses and 500,000 people across 20 states in Nigeria so far. The impact of my work has further improved increasing the livelihoods of low-income households through the deployment of rural electrification projects in unserved and underserved communities. I have also used learnings from the previous application process which has bagged me the opportunity to participate in other high-level opportunities. I have also increased my traction and been invited to speak at various key stakeholder engagements and also support the government in the National Development Plan and now support the energy policy commission of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group as an advisor. I have recently become the Global Focal Point for the SDG7 Youth Constituency at the UNMGCY which is the formal engagement mechanism for youth in UN and UN-related processes focused on energy topics. Being a part of the ACMI Youth Forum Delegation would create an opportunity for me to share my experience and also connect with global youth change makers and doers. We need to urgently collaborate as African Youths to create a far reaching impact across the continent.

896	Abdulai	Kandeh	Helen Keller International	helenkellerintl.org	As a practical and talented graduate with good communication and analytical skills, I am ready to help build a healthy and safe world for all. I am keen to better understand environmental systems, natural hazards, sustainable development and climate change. As a wise man once said, knowing the problem is partly solving it. I am hoping to ultimately achieve this and help mitigate the adverse effects of such problems in my country from a One Health (an integrated approach to the health of humans, animals and the environment) perspective.	An amazing feature of our planet is its rich diversity of life, and we all must contribute to sustain a habitable environment. Contemporary environmental issues have actions leading to widespread impacts. The extraordinary natural world we inherited supports lives and livelihoods and we must try to pass it on to future generations in good or perhaps even a better condition than we found it. As a humanitarian trying to achieve dreams of a more equal, peaceful and sustainable world. I am committed to contributing towards transforming, protecting the shared dreams and interest of a better tomorrow. Climate action, reducing poverty, ensuring good health for all, and a food secured nation within the sub region is my passion and I believe will make a real difference within my society and the world at large. One Health- a multi-disciplinary approach (animal, environment and human health) to solving some of the world’s most complex issues is close to my heart. Previous work has been around sampling perceptions around this relatively new idea in country with recommendations suggesting a multi-sectoral entity for collaboration in research, prioritisation, information-sharing on best practices which could lead to political engagement, coherent policies and effective implementation from government and other stakeholders. Hence, with a bachelor’s degree in Geology, a few collaborations in the environmental space (Environmental Foundation for Africa, Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary) and experience spanning over five years with a reputable Public Health Non-Governmental Organization such as Helen Keller International, we have been tasked with addressing; Neglected Tropical Diseases, supporting nutrition and nutrition sensitive interventions (Vitamin A supplementation, Orange Fleshed Sweet Potato) and Family Planning. I have keen interest in health, agriculture, improving livelihoods, and exploring climate smart solutions for the environment. I therefore, do see this as an opportunity to network and collaborate on a larger stage. This I believe will enhance my skill sets and confidence to continue my current work and help visualize, advocate for and implement sustainable and research proven ideas for change.

Served as the President of the Student Association of his University and later on as Secretary General of the National Association of Private University Students of Angola where he developed the program called "The Liquid Startup Lab" an initiative that helps young students to transform their idea into real business and to become entrepreneurs. He is currently a member of Generation Connect - Africa Youth Group (GC-AFR) aims at providing a unique participative process for youth to contribute to the work of ITU and the African Telecommunication Union (ATU) in the continent. It will offer African youth a virtual platform to discuss opportunities and challenges related to digital technologies. He is also a member of the Regional Alumni Committee of the Regional Leadership Center of Southern Africa (RLC SA), as a Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) was launched by former US President Barack Obama as a notable effort to invest in the next generation of African leaders. The need to invest in the formation of strong leaders. Mr. Fazenda found his calling as a leader where his passion for helping has been to nourish the youth to reach their full potential as well as the enthusiasm for solving social issues and the need to strengthen his network towards career development.	One of the greatest challenges that citizens of the 21st century face is the preservation and protection of the environment and good governance, with the need to safeguard equity between generations increasingly based on a sustainable development model. However, as Young Leaders, we have to promote values, changing attitudes and behaviors regarding the forms of leadership, in order to prepare the citizens for a conscious exercise, dynamic and knowledge about the future, responsible leadership and good governance. I see COP 27 as a great opportunity to make the voice of the 3.3 billion people who live in countries highly vulnerable to climate change heard. The latest IPCC report shows that climate impacts are already causing widespread damage – and no continent is more at risk than Africa, where crop productivity has shrunk by a third since the 1960s due to climate change.The world should take the opportunity to face the probles that the climate changes are causing. It is only right that developed countries use the upcoming Egypt-based climate summit to demonstrate solidarity with vulnerable nations – supporting them with more financial support to build resilience to climate impacts and assisting in managing the loss and damage they are already face today and that could get worse in the future. Since COP 27 is taking place in Africa, I see it as a unique opportunity to make our strong position felt. Since 2020, we have led a Research and Education Committee on Environmental Management of the Coalition of Youth of Portuguese-Speaking African Countries (CJP), where we have been developing projects for low-cost environmental solutions using soap and hand sanitizer. We created plastic and metal recycling workshop and already trained more than 1,261 environmental activists within the scope of the environment project, as it is everyone's responsibility to protect the environment. Since 2018 we have been leading the world clean up day, in Angola. In 2022 we were accredited as nº 195 in the ´´Third round of special accreditation for the 2022 UN Ocean Conference (Jan/February 2022)´´ that took place from 27th June to 1st July 2022, in Lisbon, Portugal, where we organized the first Forum about Ocean in a Hybrid way, under the theme ´´Investing in Youth and Women is Investing in the sustainable use of the Oceans´´ in partnership with the Organization of African Maritime Women (WIMAFRICA) and the Angolan Government through the Ministry of Culture and Environment.

903	NAVISON	NYAKAPENE	EGERTON UNIVERSITY	www.egerton.ac.ke	Navison Nyakapene is a Zimbabwean by nationality and he was born on December 1992 in the eastern part of Zimbabwe. He grew up in a rural area in the Mutoko district under the Nyamuzizi settlement area. He is a holder of a Bachelor of Science Honours degree in Agriculture (Agricultural Economics and Extension) with a degree class 2.1 from the University of Zimbabwe and currently he is taking a Master of Science in Agri-enterprise development at Egerton University (Njoro, Kenya). He is very passionate about African climate mobility since high school time when he was involved in a lot of debates about climate change and advocated for protecting the environment. He did his research first research on climate mobility under the faculty of agriculture at the University of Zimbabwe where he was trying to see how best we can solve the problem of climate change and environmental degradation linked to tobacco farmers in the Mutoko district where farmers are cutting down trees for curing tobacco. In Zimbabwe, Nyamuzizi Navison was involved in community-based programs like planting trees, clean-up campaigns, and assisting local farmers with agricultural knowledge. Expert in Field Research Surveys in climate action through (data collection manual or electronic, analysis and report or paper writing). Computer literacy in (Microsoft Word, Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, SPSS, and STATA use in the analysis. His dream he wants to contribute to the development of Africa as a whole in agribusiness, entrepreneurship, and environmental protection.	My motivation to become a ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27, first it is being triggered by I have been an active person in trying to see how best can we solve climate problems. I started to work on research which was focusing on what agricultural activities are harming the environment. With this idea I have discovered that tobacco farmers are harming the environment through cutting down trees for curing tobacco without replacement. This is a big threat to climate mobility and environment which is being linked direct to agriculture production. Me as an agriculture economist I did a research on FACTORS AFFECTING ADOPTION OF WOODLOTS AMONG TOBACCO FARMERS FROM MUTOKO DISTRICT, on that note I come up with an innovation of having an a woodlot of fast growing trees on each and every farm that farmers can solve the climate and environment problems there are causing. I have already wrote 2 papers to be published on same note so that globally we can solve this issue. In Zimbabwe tobacco farmers are a big threat to environment and climate. Through this conference as a delegate I really want to discuss with others and share my ideas also on how best we can move climate mobility which are also linked to agriculture activities. I have made a presentation to Forestry Commission of Zimbabwe and Tobacco Industry Marketing Board (TIMB), for these boards to support climate mobility action I have already started which is lacking support some how. Currently I am studying my master of science degree in Kenya and I have made an effort to reach out to the Kenya forestry commission to see how they can support my idea of encouraging the people who are Cutting trees in Mau Forestry to replace and find other economic activities rather than clearing land and burning trees for charcoal selling. With this experience I am hoping to meet others and discuss more on climate mobility issues.

Local governments and their citizens are confronted with the exacerbation of existing problems such as air pollution or water scarcity. Moreover, their security and livelihoods are threatened by drought, floods and other natural disasters. In the face of these challenges, local governments must develop strategies to respond to current and future climate events, in partnership with the community.

Très actif sur le plan du développement local, IL Rêve de voir les populations du mondes en général et de l’Afrique en particulier vivre dans un environnement sain et équilibre ou les valeurs du bienêtre sont partagées par tous. Cette vision la conduit à mener des actions de protection de l’environnement avec ONG international EURUDEF en 2017 sur la restauration et conservation des écosystèmes fortement dégrades (sols, eaux, forets sacres) dans les monts bamoutos a l’Ouest Cameroun ou les populations y vivant sont victime de l’effet néfaste lies au changement climatique. À travers la plantation de plus de 20000 Arbres d’espèce différente (ayant les propriétés de restauration de la fertilité des sols, de stabilisation des sols, de restauration des sources d’eau disparue, et de conservation de nos valeurs culturelles). Toujours dans la recherche du bienêtre de tous, mr Efolimo a eu le privilège de mener des actions dans le programme intègres pour la promotion de auto développement, ou il a accompagnés les populations vulnérables de la ville de Dschang (personnes handicapés, personnes victime des crises du NOSO) dans les activités génératrices de revenus. Aujourd’hui mr Efolimo est membre de l’association communautaire pour le développement et le bienêtre, donc le siège social est à Bafoussam région de l’ouest Cameroun, ou il est fière de mener des actions pour contribuer à la protection de l’environnement et à la lutte contre le changement climatique.	Motivation pour devenir délégué du Forum des jeunes de ACMI pour la COP27 Les effets négatifs du changement climatique ont déjà un impact sur les espaces urbanisés et économiques, et influencent ainsi les mouvements migratoires. L’intensité et la fréquence croissante des phénomènes météorologiques extrêmes et l’élévation du niveau de la mer deviendront des facteurs impactant de plus en plus les déplacements à la suite des catastrophes, les migrations et les réinstallations planifiées. Chaque année, La régions du littoral et de l’Adamaoua au Cameroun est de plus en plus victime des graves inondations entrainant les pertes en vies humaines et les déplacements des populations qui pour la plus part ne savent ou se réfugier, on note aussi la région du grand nord Cameroun victime de plus en plus des sècheresses ardentes et prolongés impactant sur la sécurité alimentaire. La mise en œuvre des mesures régionales pour faire face aux migrations induite par le climat, aux réinstallations planifies et aux déplacements lies aux catastrophes est essentielle pour la survie des groupes de population touches. Pour cette raison, les gouvernements locaux ont besoin des connaissances fondées sur la pratique pour tester des mesures et échanger leurs expériences avec les partenaires. A cet effet les jeunes doivent s’impliquer dans ces réflexions, et nous somme déterminer non seulement à être des acteurs participatifs pour la lutte contre le changement climatique mais aussi devenir délégué du forum des jeunes de L’ACMI pour la COP27.

I am currently working on the effect of climate changed on vegetation in one of my community with focus on land surface temperature in relation to the human activity.	Begin an environmental geography with interest in climate change, this forum will give me the platform to share some of works on climate change which I have been able to analyze using GIS and also give me the opportunity to meet and interact with other climate change advocate around the world. Nigeria is faced with a lot of problem and currently, people are been displaced due to flooding in some cities in Nigeria and this requires an urgent sustainable action. People need to be aware that these places are prone to flooding and the government must also play a role by proving an alternative for her citizen. Where I live, we are faced with a lot of challenges caused by flooding. I could remember while growing up, as a little child in the primary coming back from school on a faithful day and i was nearly carried away by the flood until people around came to my rescue. This single experience changed alot of the things about me. it might also have a role to play for me to study geography in the university. however, I am currently working on another paper, to detect the real cause of climate mobility in Nigeria.

I am a professional Climate Activist and holds a certificate form the International Training Institute of the International Labour Organization (ILO) in “Engaging in Climate Action for a Just Transition.” This program was sponsor by the Italian Ministry of Ecological Transition, COP27Presidency, ILO, YOUNGO and UNDP. I am a member of YALI and holds two Certificates in Personal Growth and Development and Strategic Planning respectively. I holds a certificate in Leadership from the Young African Leadership, Development Institute (YALDI) Liberia. I am the presenter of Youth Exvironmental Forum on an online TV called Youth Tunez Network. More besides I have appeared on several radio shows and amplify the Climate Message. I have been at the international stage in my advocacy. I am a Youth4Climate Driving Ambition country delegate. I participated in the Pre-COP hosted by the Italian Ministry of Ecological Transition, held in Italy, Milan. Fortunately, I formed part of Working group4, Climate Conscious Society the produced the Youth Manifesto submitted at COP26. I recently participated in the Africa Climate Week in Libreville, Gabon and Youth4Climate held in New York via online. Further I am one of the organizers of Liberia first LCOY held at the Wologisi Conference Hall, Carey Street Monrovia. In 2020 I implemented a six months project for the World Literacy Foundation around Climate Literacy and I am currently one of its ambassador. I am a member of YOUNGO and a member of it's Communication Core Working Group and a member of the Adaptation working Group. I previously serve it's Women and Gender Working Group. I am a founding member of Africa Youth4Climate and Climate Action Africa Network (CACO)20. I am also a member of EU Delegation in Liberia Youth Environmental Forum that's focuses on establishing E-Clubs in schools. I am program Associate at Youth Exploring Solutions and also it Climate Change Focal Point. I have hosted programs in various aspect of Climate Change in almost ten of the fifteen Counties in Liberia. I am a member of the Action Aid Liberia Review Committee on the CADA Document that talks about Liberia Committing ten percent (10)% of its national budget to sustainable agriculture.	Firstly let me congratulate Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) on this opportunity given us as a young professional climate activists. I am motivated to apply for this opportunity for several distinct reasons. This comes at a time that young people are calling for inclusive representation at all levels (Local, National, and International ). I am happy and motivated that I am going to represent my country when given this opportunity taking into consideration the youthful population that constitutes 65% of the country's population and 60% below the age of 35. I am motivated that I am going to represent the youthful generation affected by the devastating impact of Sea Level Rise, Drought, Famine, Diseases, Temperature Rise, and Biodiversity Loss among others. I am also going to a group of vulnerable women and children who are not conscious or aware about this climate emergency but feels the blunt of it. Moreover I want to amplify my voice on the loss and damage caused by the big polluters and demand them to pay in my pursuit of climate Justice. I want to join a United Africa with one voice and a resounding victory that we are winning the crisis instead of the crisis winning us. I have always done a lot of work based on these three statements, If not now then when? , If not us then Who?, If not this generation then which generation?” The above declarations retain my commitment to this national fight or emergency. I have worked around climate mobility with the role I plaid at YES. In 2019 erosion caused a lot of people to lose their homes as a result of this effect caused them to be homeless. We got a grant from our partners IDEALS4US and help most of these people to be integrated into new localities. Moreover in 2021 during the the heat of the COVID pandemic, we launch our waste picker benefit scheme which empowered most of the guys who were contributing to sustainable and clean environment. I am aware of the effect people are faced with either through pull or push factors and these come as a result of the consequences of the divesting effect of Climate Change. Over all I think my participation is going to bring a lot of reform to every policy document and how these documents can triggle down to the man or Lady who don't understand anything about Climate Change. It's going to help me amplify my voice. I believe that a a lot of Liberian youths will be influenced by the knowledge gained upon my return. I anticipate a positive favorable response.

My country Benin is not part of the top 10 biggest polluters in the world, but nevertheless we contribute in one way or another to the destruction of the climate. God entrusted the creation and the universe to men and we must take care of it. In Benin we are fighting to achieve zero use of plastic seals. Because of climate change the seasons are upset and agriculture is disrupted. As a journalist, I campaign for the reduction of the use of plastic bags and as a pastor I participate in the education of communities in relation to healthy habits for the protection of creation and the reduction of climate change.

I am active in gender and youth discourses, and I am always championing for opportunities for the marginalized in society.	Climate change is a very sensitive topic, one which a lot of people don't pay much attention to. Severe droughts, floods and famines have directly impacted the mobility of Kenyan citizens and caused them to vacate their homes and others even displaced. Perennial floods in lowland areas in Kenya have caused constant mobility and wanton distress to members of these communities. I want to be a delegate at the ACMI Youth Forum so that I can gain insight and knowledge on how climate mobility can be mitigated, and/or the plans currently in place and how I can be a part of the solution.

I'm an External Coordinator at the Kyambogo University Debate Society and my passion for debate is because it has enabled me raise my voice about issues that affect society just like I hope ACMIS will.	As I grew up,I watched as my aunt,uncle and cousin succumb to cancer of different kinds.As one of their caretakers, I slowly watched life drain out of them as I cleaned the cancerous wounds regularly. I got interested in knowing the causes of that and realized how helpless I was to save them because of situations caused by other people,in addition to floods,famine and mudslides happening all around the country, claiming multiple lives. I got interested in the effects of climate as young as the age of 10 after that experience but couldn't find ways of expressing my concern,until I discovered debate that enabled me become an activist of various issues. However,I believe my ability to influence meaningful change shall be amplified at ACMIS. Young and vulnerable people do not have to face the consequences of the rape that's done to the environment because other people refuse to pay attention to the fact that climate change is critical to human survival, that stops now!.

More frequent and intense drought, storms, heat waves, rising sea levels, melting glaciers and warming oceans can directly harm animals, destroy the places they live, and wreak havoc on people’s livelihoods and communities. in the next few decades we will face extreme poverty due to melt of the African remaining gracier, and the reduction in water essential to agricultural production will create food insecurity, poverty, and population displacement. As an African this is going to affect us greatly. I seek out ways to contribute in reducing short lived climate pollutants which can have immediate economic benefits from job creation and increased household income and many African youth will benefit from it me being one of them as most of us have the feeling of progress where we need a vision of the career progress path so as we can work towards. To learn something new, as learning is what I love and I would do it even if I don't get paid because for me it's about finding ways to be more effective.Need to work on the reduction of carbon footprint which is fundamentally necessary to create a world where people and nature thrive. Staying curious;every day brings something new and different that surprise is motivating to me, I like to learn new things that i never could have imagined I would have encountered.

Merihan was also the Project Coordinator of the Alliance of Civilizations Project at Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a simulation model that aims at empowering youth about peacebuilding processes by fostering inter-community dialogue and exchanges. She is also the Founder of “Politica”, the first and unique political club at Alexandria University which has a membership base of around 3,400 students per year.	My professional journey, so far, has largely been centered on development issues. I am a young professional and a youth leader from a coastal city on the Mediterranean Sea, with an academic background in political science and 4+ years of experience in the fields of refugees, asylum-seekers & migrants, peace and security, post conflict reconstruction, social development and humanitarian issues, especially in the context of Africa. I am highly motivated to participate as a delegate because of its focus on climate change and environmental challenges related to mobility. I am confident that the conference will equip me with further knowledge, skills and tools which, in turn, will enable me to become a more engaged citizen and an active social player in my community and in my field of work. I am particularly interested in the climate change and migration nexus as well as in the climate-related security risks under the peace and security spectrum. The conference will also be a perfect networking platform where I will gather information about what young people across the world are working on, and eventually build on these experiences to enhance my work in my country and in my region. I intend to bring my expertise and experiences as a young international development policy practitioner to the conference through the ACMI Youth Forum. Over the past few years, I have worked at several places including the African Union (AUYV), Goethe Institute, Caritas Egypt and Goethe Institute. As Project Coordinator at Goethe Institute in Cairo, I led the implementation of a groundbreaking social innovation program. Particularly, I designed and implemented capacity building programs for 22 social startups, benefiting hundreds of beneficiaries. I was subsequently conferred the Biggest Social Impact Award for my work at Goethe Institute. At Caritas, I worked on major UNHCR projects, analyzing national and regional trends related to refugees and asylum seekers, and conducting evidence-based research to support project design and implementation. I even organized the first Refugees Youth Forum which highlighted the contribution of refugees in achieving sustainable development in their host communities and empowered young refugees to play an essential role in development initiatives, therefore enhancing their inclusion and coexistence. I have worked for the Jindal Centre for the Global South where I was involved in important research projects addressing Global South development challenges, and assessing the role of South-South Cooperation in the 2030’s Global Agenda for sustainable development.
925	Aro Ny Aina Cynthia	Ratolojanahary	African Leadership University	https://www.alueducation.com/	I am Aro Ny Aina Cynthia Ratolojanahary, from Madagascar, currently pursuing my undergraduate study in nature and wildlife conservation at ALU School of wildlife conservation on a full scholarship. I have a keen interest in circular economy and community-based biodiversity conservation. From June through August this year, I worked in Maliasili as part of an internship where we focused on community-based conservation. And currently, I am the livestock manager in the start-up called “circul-Ate” that is focusing on the circular economy here in Rwanda. I aspire to be a changemaker in climate and environmental areas, specifically in forestry and community-based conservation.	Since the climate issue is a pressing one in the world we currently live in, I ought to be approved as a delegate. However, this conference will help me get more insight into how to prevent more climate disasters in my country (in my country: Madagascar). I want to get together with a lot of environmentalists to brainstorm brilliant ideas for combating climate change and supporting the people's community that is getting poorer and poorer as a result of it.
926	Margaret	Impraim	Youth Climate Council Ghana	N/A	Margaret Impraim has been working on the nexus of gender and climate within the youth climate movement in sub-Saharan Africa for the past three years. Operating at a very grassroosts level and providing voluntary support to multiple youth-led initiatives, she has accumulated practical experiences to the injustices faced by girls and youth due to climate vulnerability and structural inequalities. Currently, she works as the Capacity Building and Education Officer in the Youth Climate Council Ghana where she is contributing to the meaningful inclusion of the youth in national and international climate decision-making processes. In her position, she coordinates 10 regional focal points in managing over 1000 members (individuals youth climate activists, youth-led and youth-focused climate organizations) as well as leveraging her experience in youth-government partnerships to provide guidance to youth movements in other countries who are seeking to work closely with diverse stakeholders to influence climate policy, climate justice models and equity to the youth. Margaret also organizes capacity building sessions and consultations with the youth through the collaboration of government and non-government stakeholders. She serves as the Conference Coordinator for LCOY Ghana and the Country Contact Point for COY 17, both events serving as precursors to COP 27	As a youth from Ghana, I have witnessed the grave impacts of climate change in the form of floods and droughts. The change in precipitation has caused irregular rain patterns and this brings either too much rain or no rain at all. When there is too much rain, it overflows the banks and the drainage systems in the cities causing floods that moves into homes and takes away properties. Unfortunately, these excess rains disrupt the growth of plants that do not need too much moisture. In times where there is little or no rain, crops do not grow and it in turn affects food security in the country. Unfortunately, in these climate crisis, migration is not a favorable option since there is a high demand of resources like food. It is therefore challenging to secure a better location in the midst of the climate crisis. Through youth-led initiatives, I have helped individuals particularly the youth understand the dynamics of climate change and how to adapt using strategies like climate-smart techniques. In attending COP27 that seeks to highlight more on loss and damage and the need to support vulnerable communities, I believe there is the need to address these things and demand the needed solutions.
927	Ryan McEnery	Timothy	Hot Planet Repair Team (HPRT)	https://www.hotplanet.repair/	I am a 23 year old young man from Zimbabwe. Having grown up at a time of economic chaos in my country, I had to learn economics and impact investing not out of passion but as a means of survival. My family has been involved in farming for over 40 years. Whilst experience and scholarly knowledge has managed to help keep things afloat, climate change has destabilised the way of life for my people. Part of the reason why I want to be part of this organisation is so that I can help to solve some of the socio-economic issues plaguing my people. When the War in Ukraine started, I was concerned that it could quickly turn into a world war. This prompted me to take an online course in Positive peace and conflict resolution. As the pandemic came with heavy cases of suicide, depression and substance abuse, we accelerated our quest for international community impact and used social media to grow our community into other African nations. My knowledge in agriculture has helped gain an intrinsic understanding for the socioeconomic solutions to start from the grassroots levels of the system. I want to actively participate in research, product development, and policy framework necessary to sustainably solve the climate crisis and the enduring hunger crisis. It is because of this world hunger crisis that I am currently studying agronomy and engaging with organisation's such as Mr Francesco L. Arlia Jr.'s Harvest Harmonics Corp which is designing sustainable agriculture and food production systems and materials. Not all my efforts have succeeded but I have learnt much from the whole process. I applied to give a TED talk on Sustainable agriculture and food production systems and it did not go as planned, but I learnt how to research for a talk and give one eloquently. In the past two years I have had the opportunity to engage with a diverse group of people from all over the world and have noted that the best way to solve the problems plaguing humanity is through a resolute unified stance in defense of sustainability and all its implications. This allowed me the opportunity to become the regional representative member (for Africa) in Hot Planet Repair Team (HPRT). The HPRT is a non-governmental organisation comprising of intellectuals and independent investors who are actively working to solve the climate crisis. I believe in sustainable financial solutions, that is why I volunteered to be the campus director for the Hult Prize campus event at the University of Zimbabwe. This role is being supported by my involvement with the United Nations Academic Impact as a Millennium Fellow. It is my hope and desire to pave the way for my peer to get the seed capital needed to forge lasting solutions.	I believe that the climate crisis is one of the biggest problems any generation of humans has ever had to endure and fight. In the fight for a sustainable future I have sought to do all that I can. In the past 15 months, much of my work as a student has been involving research and product development. I aim to use my research to develope a product that alleviates drought-stress and induces tolerance in plants. It is all in the hope of gaining enough knowledge to start company focusing on the development of biological control agents capable of supporting the "100% organic produce" market. As it is estimated that atleast 45% of the world's population is actively involved with food production, I believe that agriculture has an imminent role to play in solving the climate crisis. For this to be a reality, I need to learn more about the food production and consumption patterns of from diverse areas of life. This will allow me and to delineate the problem and come up with potential solutions; I will certainly need help from like-minded people to make sure this is successful. I am a stern believer in the possible reality that is climate repair, this has prompted me to engage in research work concerning this area. Currently my work focuses on climate mitigation measures. Currently, I am working on a project investigating bio-control agents (including bio-stimulants) that can be used to replace harmful synthetic chemicals in agriculture. I am currently still working on joining the climate action group "We Don't Have Time" as a national representative. I admire the work that they are doing and I believe that I can be a positive contribution to the work that they do. The organisation that I founded, the Brothers Incorporated Foundation (Brothers_Inc.), focuses on mental health awareness and youth capacity building amongst other society impact projects. It is my aim to have the organisation fight some of the socio-economic issues that force young lives into distressing situations, through climate sensitive and ecologically sustainable income generating projects. This is a huge project that will take time and planning in order to execute successfully. I seek to help design and implement a modern system of agriculture and food production that efficiently produces food products that are nutritious and healthy for all. Affordability of the products will allow me the chance to play a role in beating the world hunger crisis ahead of 2050 as the earth's population is expected to rise by atleast a third. Should I get the opportunity to attend the COP27 summit, I will use the knowledge, skills (and resources) gained from the event(s) to try and start on one of my projects that are all aimed at the advancement of sustainable and healthy livelihoods. It is my stern belief that the world is facing the biggest threat to life in living memory, climate change is coming for all of us. This being the case, I really do feel that not enough attention is being given to address the methods that can be used deal with this phenomena. Climate change has already begun to disrupt production patterns, droughts have become increasingly common; this should be controlled and dealt with. Becoming a part of the COP27 summit will allow me the opportunity to learn the different ways that I can use to actively engage with local policymakers and formulate a framework of ideas and concepts for the design of a more sustainable developing economy.
928	Felix	Angaira	Voluntary Services Overseas		I am Felix a climate change researcher. I have over two year experience working and researching on climate adaptation and mitigation. I am currently researching on the use of climate smart agricultural techniques for farmers in Kenya where I have gained considerable knowledge in climate adaptation application, climate risk and impact assessment, climate policy and development. I have participated in national and international conferences where I have presented my research findings on climate change. I am also actively involved in youth related programs and has had the privilege of representing Kenya at the ICPDU, 2020. Am also a climate champion actively engaging in climate action and advocacy. As part of volunteer work, am a full time volunteer under the Youth for sustainable Development. Here I involve in environmental conservation and community engagement programs. Am proficient in setting climate action agendas for investments in climate innovations that unite regional, sectoral and climate change communities under a common agenda by integrating the three dimensions of sustainable development: environmental, social and governance by addressing climate change challenges. I aspires to be a successful in STEM to disseminate knowledge globally on adapting to climate change, improving agricultural productivity and creating employment opportunities for youth.	Climate change is a global concern especially to the young people as it is diminishing our future employment opportunity and threatening our existence. I see the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative Youth Forum as a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn, engage and network with climate advocates, researchers and organizations to develop pathways and measure progress toward achieving climate targets and ensure we deliver a just & equitable energy transition. I believe that I have something to contribute, bring unique insights, perspective and a positive, collaborative attitude to the forum. In Kenya, climate change is a major concern and has been observed with the desert locust invasion in 2020 which accelerated food insecurity and with drought being declared a national disaster in 2021. As a young advocator, I have taken it as my responsibility to be part of the solutions to climate change and to create awareness this concern. I have researched on climate smart agricultural technologies that can be adopted by small holder farmers to ensure food security, climate change mitigation and adoption, employment and food sustainability while protecting, managing and restoring the ecosystem. From my advocacy and experience, I believe I am the right fit to be a delegate and take part on discussions on climate adaptation and resilience, climate finance, youth involvement in climate change, renewable energy. I yearn to deepen my knowledge and experience in climate change and given the opportunity through this platform my voice can be heard, I can be empowered and educated to continue advocating for climate change.

It is for me in the youth space to test and clearly convince the actions of the youth on the consideration of agroecology as a means of adaptation and humidity to climate change. Reflecting together with engaged global youth on commentary facilitates the inclusion of agroecology in Nationally Defined Contributions (NDCs).

During my free time I love hiking.	As I had said earlier I am involved in many community engagements and among the things i do is in line with environment conservation. I come from a village which faces a lot of challenges some relate to climate change eg hunger which resulted from drought. I have seen people starve due to lack of food and water. At times the opposite happens when there is too much rain that cause floods especially in low land areas and thus I highly look forward to being ACMI youth forum delegate
935	Ruth	Kitamirike	Forum for Women in Democracy		Ruth Kitamirike is a transformative leader who believes in the immense power that lies within young people. I served as the guild Representative Councillor for the School of law at Makerere University as well as the Students’ Guild Minister for Gender, Ethics and Integrity. I have a commendable track record on Administration, Program management and supervision, Transformational leadership, community development and capacity building. I am also actively engaged in influencing the quality of education especially for the girl child in the most vulnerable communities. I am an alumni of various leadership programmes such as; The Global Youth Leadership programme (September, 2021) Forum for Women in Leadership Training Programme (March 2021) Friedrich Ebert Stiftung- Young Leaders Forum (2019-2021) African Women Leadership Programme by Akina Mama September 2019, Legal Ethics Training Programme, Kigali August 2019 by White and Case LLP I have previously worked as the head of the anti-sexual harassment project in Makerere under Akina Mama Wa Afrika with support from UN Women. She has also led the campaign against Fistula and child pregnancies through her Miss Tourism Busoga position. Ruth has Partnered with actors such as Women at Work International to advocate for the safe education of the Girl Child. I have held positions of Responsibility in Non-Governmental and Community Based Organizations including Executive Assistant Office of the President to the Senior Presidential Advisor on Diaspora Affairs, Executive Member National Debate Council 2018-Present (NDC); Chairperson Busoga Youth Forum 2018-2019, Miss Tourism Busoga 2018-2019 among others.

In all the work I do I acknowledge that as humanity we only have one earth and it is our duty and responsibility irrespective of our lines of advocacy and activism to protect and ensure that we utilize it in the safest way that will enable future generations enjoy and live in here with much ease.	“Climate change mostly affects those who depend on only natural resources and who depend mainly on natural resources and whose livelihoods are climate sensitive” This statement is true to the lives of women in Africa. They are sole responsible for the daily sustenance of families which includes agriculture and food preparation, Therefore, women have a daily interaction with the environment and thus at the verge of facing the grave effects thereof. Women are in charge of making decisions especially of which food to eat and the energy to be used in preparation of food. It is therefore important that we engage women on the adverse effects of their daily activities to the environment and climate system. Today’s climate crisis in African Countries such as Uganda where people in places such as Karamoja are starving to death due to prolonged droughts again affects men and women disproportionately affected and displacement remains one of the major consequence. Climate Mobility has forced many women and children to leave their homes for uncertain areas where they are forced to start up totally new lives. This change goes a long way to affect the social, political, economic and cultural rights of women. I therefore bring to this Dialogue an engendered perspective specifically looking at how climate mobility disproportionately affects women. I have had the opportunity to volunteer in Karamoja region in Uganda where people are dropping dead due to starvation and many persons most of whom are women and children have been recorded to have migrated to better areas. I noted that whenever they migrate, the struggle for property ownership, Access to social services and other rights and Freedoms starts all over again, because are an already marginalized group, marginalization increases whenever they migrate. To me as a women’s Rights Activist, this symbolizes retardation and lack of progress in our activism and advocacy. If all our work is not grounded in a sustainable environment. I believe that Africa women and girls need Sustainable and climate smart agricultural skills African women and girls need skills and knowledge in Sustainable energy production such as bio gas energy. There’s need for African women and girls to diversify their entrepreneurial skills to include climate friendly business aspects such as Paper bag making to counter the use of polythene and Art and craft making with the use of recyclable material for example the use of plastic bottles and soda bottle tops for earrings It is also important to equip and train women on how to protect the environment. I also believe that as a generation we have a responsibility to live and act like we understand that only one earth remains and that irrespective of the line of advocacy I take if the environment is not protected then it’s just a matter of time but definitely my work stands to be washed away.

The target of my comic books is to inform, educate and help girls at risk; my recent novel is sponsored by Girl rising and features the journey of girls locked in practices of child marriage; other stories explore the issues of kidnapping in schools and domestic violence against girls. I have spoken on platforms such as NGO CSW, COP26 and BIG series, relating to my work as an artist and the opportunity to educate funding organisations of pressure points within the Nigerian society.	I am looking forward to connecting with other young leaders and making them the points of highlight in my mission to educate young girls on the climate crisis and our roles in the evolving world. My stories educate girls on the impact of the climate crisis on the ongoing herdsmen/farmers crisis in Nigeria and the effects of droughts and floods on agrarian societies within Nigeria; I consider putting these stories at the forefront to help my audience understand what we are up against and what we can do as individuals to help.
938	Malika	Brian	One More Percent	https://onemorepercent.co.ke/our-founder-brian-malika-contributed-an-article-on-kenyas-daily-nation/	Brian Malika is the founder and Director of One More Percent ( a grassroots media organisation that amplifies voices of young people on climate change issues ). Brian Malika is also the elected chair and spokesperson for the Isukha Indigenous Community Living around Kakamega Forest.	The COP27 comes to Africa at a time when rainforest covers in Africa are declining at an alarming pace due to the continent's inability to withstand the effects of climate change like drought, unfavorable temperatures, and landslides which are pushing the human population to invade the few remaining rainforest covers. Therefore, am really looking forward to attending the COP27 Summit so as to present the important voice and presence of indigenous communities living around Kakamega Forest (one of the few remaining rainforest covers in Africa). While participating at the COP27, I will attend plenary sessions to ask for more funding in strengthening communities living around indigenous forests in Africa (including Kakamega Forest) so that they can use their ancient knowledge, cultures, and experience of symbiotically benefiting and conserving rainforests. Most importantly, am looking forward to attending the COP27 Summit so that I can interact with leading thinkers, practitioners, Government officials, and activists with the aim of presenting to them an indigenous-people-based framework that highlights practical examples of how organized forest communities can have a leadership structure that oversees the protection of Africa's at risk forest covers (with real success examples of how this approach has worked at Kakamega Forest where am the elected leader of the Kakamega Forest indigenous communities). Thereafter, it is my expectation that we will devise a plan on scaling this community-owned indigenous forest protection efforts to other parts of Africa where forests are at risk of extinction. As the leader and spokesperson of the Kakamega Forest indigenous community, participating in the COP27 Summit offers an exceptional opportunity to physically network with potential funders and partners to our work in conserving and protecting the flora, fauna, and natural habitat of the Kakamega Rainforest through the perspective of indigenous wisdom. Equally, my participation at the COP27 Summit will be a big win for the indigenous community living around Kakamega Forest since as their leader I will be in the frontline to oversee the policy deliberations taking place at the COP27 Summit factor in the aspect of promoting indigenous wisdom as a pathway to attaining the sustainable development goal on climate action in protecting natural habitats like endangered flora a, fauna and forests.

I have worked with many organisations, companies and institutions. Currently, I am working with Successlink Micro-credit Enterprise as Loan Default Recovery and Monitoring Manager and Green Innovation for People and Nature as a Social Media Staff, Content Writer and Editor(Volunteer).

And I want to establish an organisation who will advocate for climate justice and environmental sustainability. I am someone who is very innovative, results-oriented, industrious, disciplined, competent and able to work under stressful condition without supervision.	I have always been interested in climate change related issues and the immediate measures deployed in reducing it's negative impact and have involved myself in some events undertaken to address climate change. I always search for groups, organisations, institutions etc. which seek to address climate change issues by organising climate change conferences or onsite events. Enunciating my interest in climate actions moved me to join Geography Students Association, University of Education, Winneba to embark on climate action event entitled "Winneba Go Green" where we planted a lot of plants. And I have also joined Green Innovation for People and Nature to advocate for Sustainable Development Goals. And for about two months we have been organising future climate dialogue where we educate people globally on climate change and it's impact on the environment and humanity and suggest some measures we can use to ameliorate its impact . I serve Greenovature as a Content Writer and Editor and Social Media Administrator. Moreover I am Climate Change Enthusiast and I aim to create a solid platform where youth who are interested in climate change action will have the chance to express and I also wish to establish an organisation which will advocate for Environmental Sustainability across the world. And joining this Youth Forum will afford me with the prerequisite knowledge and experience to actualise my aims or goals. Combating severe climate change impact demands a collection effort and as a young environmental sustainability enthusiast I cannot give a deaf ears to the call for delegates since I have the earnest desire to contribute my quota to the saving the world from climate change impact through effective advocacy, programs and environmental projects.

946	Nomsa	Nungu			I am a writer and singer who is passionate about social and environment issues, including women's rights, mental health and climate change. I am from a third world country, which means, when it comes to resources, we get the short end of the stick. Not only do our people struggle to survive, our environment is struggling with us. I seek to change that. I am a final year student, studying computer science and hope to apply my knowledge in creating modern solutions to modern day problems.	Yearly, most parts of the country are affected by floods which leave the people displaced, as families and homes are lost in the hchaos. In those times, the government's efforts do not fully cover the losses that the people face. Others choose to remain in the ruins as moving to unfamiliar territories is scarier to them. As much as I have not personally experienced the floods, I have heard of and seen the fatal effects, which causes a stir in my heart to act but the most I can do is donate resources to the families. I am applying because what I require is the skill and knowledge to create practical solutions for the country.

I believe my life assignment is to promote destinies whilst unleashing greatness within individuals of potential. This radical vision of mine led me to join Sustainable Climate Action Trust, a youth led NGO determined to promote a sustainable way of living in order to fight against climate change for the betterment of our future and within a year i was appointed to be the country director of the organisation. Academically i hold a BEng Honours degree in Chemical Engineering.	As i have been working on renewable energy projects recently, i have noticed how un just the transition is for the communities and individuals we are working with and i believe there is a lot of opportunities to help these people, thus i hope to push and see issues of just energy transition being catered for. Also there is not enough justice on loss and damage which i believe really needs to be stressed out. From my country, i have seen victims of a cyclone not getting what they deserve and living on worse conditions after the impact, which I feel more, can be done to help and assist the victims of such hazards if enough resources are provided. As a youth working in CSO space, i intend to see the African CSO unifying , engaging with AGN to represent the priorities and interest of Africa with one voice that cannot be silenced. I also hope to create synergies with other CSOs regionally as well internationally so that we exchange ideas on how best we can improve our efficiency in addressing climate change issues that will benefit our nations at large.
956	Elizabeth Adwoa	Dwamena-Asare	Cycolyte	elizabethdwamena-asare.com	My name is Elizabeth Dwamena-Asare. I am an author and environmentalist who has been advocating for a cleaner environment in my community through an NGO I founded - Cycolyte. My passion for the environment and its related issues was sparked in July 2019 through my volunteering activities with the Ghana Recycling Initiative by Private Enterprises (GRIPE) in their clean-up exercises to educate communities on the effects of plastic waste littering. Through this, I gained a special interest in advocating for a clean Ghana to help curb the littering habits of citizens with regard to plastic waste through public education, clean-ups, and plastic buy-back exercises. But I targeted children the most, which led to my first published book for kids titled "Who Cares?" on environmental sanitation and climate change to educate them on the environment. https://www.amazon.com/Who-Cares-Contribute-Challenge-Analytical/dp/B09W7FGR8M I embarked on an educational tour, teaching basic schools in the Abokobi district about plastic pollution, its consequences, and upcycling activities. As a WACEE 2019 participant, I've attended events with companies such as E-360 and Plastic Punch. It was one major event where I met other organizations and individuals passionate about the environment. This resulted in environmental collaboration tackling (SDGs 6, 7, 13, and 17). Through Cycolyte, I have participated in cleanup activities with the likes of SESA, Coliba, and Green Legends. Recently, in collaboration with the Ghana Youth Climate Council (Cape Coast Chapter), Rotaract Ghana (Cape Coast Chapter), Empowered Youth Foundation, and AISEC-UCC, a beach clean-up was held on the 21st of September, 2022 to collect plastic waste at the seashore, which was followed by an insightful educational session. Aside from donating sanitary towels to support young girls during menstruation, I have also personally trained unemployed women in Koforidua through the All Nations International Development Agency (ANIDA) to take up roles in the plastic waste value chain to enable them to earn an income in an effort to kick out poverty among women and boost socio-economic growth. https://elizabethdwamena-asare.com/2022/07/20/session-women-development-center-wdc/ As an environmentalist, my goal is to effectively participate in environmental events, network with other changemakers, and obtain knowledge and information to share with others in order to educate them on the environmental happenings around us as well as the collective steps we can take to address climate change issues. My next goal is to help disabled and unemployed women, in particular, to provide them with training to create businesses related to the environment in order to enhance socio-economic development. Together with my team, we look forward to participating in the recently announced "Climathon", where we intend to make use of various waste to promote the tourism sector in Ghana. I love nature and I believe we exist because of nature. Therefore, I am motivated to always champion causes that help to restore or preserve the environment.	As a passionate environmentalist based in Cape Coast, which is a coastal area, I can attest to the fact that the harmful actions of man, such as littering and polluting water bodies, including the sea, have affected us greatly. It has not only reduced the life span of aquatic life, but they also keep swimming far away to safe places, and this has increased the cost of seafood as there are fewer catches, and this has reduced the omega-3 acids in our diets. The sea has also broken its barriers as it keeps swallowing a large percentage of land, threatening the existence of both humans and plants and animals in the coastal area, which is rather unfortunate. Even with the presence of sea defenses along the shores, inhabitants are being forced by nature to migrate as the sea keeps taking up the land space. Nature cannot be blamed for this, but rather the actions of man. All this has contributed to the ecological footprint, where nature is under pressure to meet the demands of its numerous inhabitants due to the selfish nature and dangerous activities of man. But the excess pressure has rather caused nature to react due to the negative actions of man in the environment, thus resulting in global warming, climate change, high sea levels, droughts, and storms, among others. I love nature and I believe we exist because of nature. Therefore, I am motivated to always champion causes that help to restore or preserve the environment, whether it is through establishing and enforcing laws to govern the environment or embarking on research to understand our environment better and relate to it in the most healthy way. I look forward to meeting changemakers who are passionate about the environment and have a desire to tackle the SDGs in relation to environmental issues. I also look forward to discovering effective strategies for committing to lowering greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Also, to explore adaptation methods to the obvious effects of climate change, as well as to gain knowledge about how to acquire funds for climate action in my community. I also intend to learn from dialogues and general conversations, enhanced and innovative approaches to dealing with environmental issues that are causing harm to the ecosystem. Learning effective environmental solutions will help reduce temperature rises and climate change. Finally, I plan to make an impact on my community by involving people in the development of climate change policies, programs, and action plans. However, this will be determined by my community's resources and the themes to be addressed. Furthermore, before engaging them, I will consider their abilities and availability to assure the continuity of climate change actions in the community once we commence ensuring sustainability and long-term impacts.

I believe it's our time now, the youth to lead. Youth are becoming more and more aware about the climate crisis and they are doing great to make the world better. I believe and I am working on making the children more and more aware about this crisis and encouriging them to be climate advocates because I strongly believe that they represent hope and change so we should train them and push them to think critically about the issue. Also, concerning water scarcity in the region, I am working with Unicef and RET organization on the climate change and its relation to water scarcity in Tunisia.

963	Darius Wleh	Sayee	Ma. Alice's Son Couture	Ma. Alice's Son Couture	I am Darius Wleh Sayee born in a small town called Doodwicken, Jedeapo district northeast of Sinoe county. I was born on June 12, 1996, to Augustine S. Sayee and Alice Worwlee Toby. I started my primary education in Doodwicken. It was challenging as a kid going to school and also following your parents to do farm work; coming back late evening and waking up early morning for school. In September 2005, we move to a Rural-urban area (Greenville, Capital city of Sinoe)where I completed my primary education. In 2010, I move to Monrovia, the political and commercial capital of Liberia, where I completed my Secondary School. In 2017, I started my tertiary education at the state-run University (University of Liberia). I am also a fashion designer. During my secondary school years, I worked as an apprentice in several fashion design shops. Currently, I'm a senior student of Economics at the University of Liberia.	My journey from the Northeast part of Sinoe, Doodwicken and moving to Greenville to complete and achieve quality education, better standard of living, e.t.c is one of those motivating factors why want I should be considered as one of those delegates for the Africa Climate Mobility initiative, ACMI. Climate mobility is caused by climate factors that contribute to migration (both voluntary and forced). socioeconomic factors such as wage differentials, family reunification, and the quest for improved living standards give rise to climate mobility. The hunt for better education, improved standard of living, job, etc caused parents to leave doodwicken to relocate to Greenville. With my life experiences in climate mobility, I'm motivated to become a delegate to COP27. Moreover, I'm currently studying Environmental Economics, a course in economics that talks about changes in our environment and how we can serve or deal with negative or positive externalities.

Recently, I was selected by UNIRE to join the European Union funded exchange lab (Ad-Voc ACT) in Rome to strengthen advocacy on refugees and migration issues especially, the climate refugees. As an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27, I hope to gain skills as unique to global leadership as well as the learning engagements. From the workshop sessions to placements for policy exploration to building a most beneficial network of partners, COP27 presents public and private sectors leaders from around the world, informal discussion on cross-regional issues allows me to learn policy-making within a like-community of change makers. It is among this network that I will further experience practical problems and possible solutions to the regional and global challenges of interest.
965	JOANITA	JULIET	ENVIRONMENTAL HUB UGANDA	Nil	My name is Laker joanita Juliet, a 21year old Ugandan female. I'm currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in environmental science technology and management at kyambogo university. I've been an environmental activist since 2012 where I worked with Uganda little hands go green and led a team to the Uganda little hands go green 2012 climate conference held at Gems camp bridge school. There after in my capacity as education Minister at my school then, I engaged students in tree planting activities. Currently, I'm the deputy CEO and a co founder of environmental hub Uganda, a students' based intitiative that aims at community and mindset transformation in relation to environmental protection and climate change adaptation mechanisms. The hub and I work with national partriotism corps Uganda and have also been at the forefront of major climate and environment advocacy activities for example cleaning lake Victoria in partnership with Fridays for future.	In July this year(2022), a region ( karamoja) in my country that's been highly marginalized for a long time was struck by grave hunger and famine crisis. The major cause was because of the persistent increasing heat in the semi arid region. Worse still, the government response was appalling and disheartening. With this, I read several reports and watched on the news how men and women, worse still young children and girls over 900 and above died of hunger and malnutrition; whereas others were forced to move into Kenya and other neighbouring districts, resulting into internally displaced persons. The climate mobility also resulted Into early girl child marriages, pregnancies and a rise in school dropouts. Another scenerio of climate mobility also occurred in the Bududa and Kisoro regions due to floods. This resulted into crop and housing destruction forcing a majority of people to migrate into make shift camps. It's upon these backgrounds and more that I seek to be part of the COP27 delegation. I believe in the fact that the the stories of people like I who have witnessed and associated with victims of climate mobility need to be told . I have a friend from the region of karamoja and he's constantly afraid of going back home because of the hunger crises there, it's alarming and painful. He's even afraid of being called by his native name because he feels he'll be stigmatized. I want to tell the world about the plight of people like him such that the necessary help and policy changes can be made.

971	Fydias	SAGBOHAN	Fondation des Jeunes Amazones pour le Développement FJAD-ONG		Je suis une jeune femme béninoise de 26ans, titulaire de deux licences, une en Sciences de la Vie et de la Terre et l'autre en communication. Je suis militante féministe engagée pour les droits des femmes, le leadership féminin et l'implication des filles et femmes dans toutes les sphères de décision. De ce fait, je travaille à être un bon exemple pour les sœurs. J'ai commencé le militantisme assez jeune et à ce jour, j'ai à mon actif de nombreux projets réalisés pour certains à titre personnel et pour d'autres en collaboration avec mes organisations de jeunes comme "Femme Impacte", "Brisons les stéréotypes sexistes" et bien d'autres. Ayant compris que les femmes sont de grandes victimes des affres des changements climatiques, je travaille depuis quelques temps sur le genre et le climat, afin que les femmes s'impliquent davantage dans sur la thématique. Je fais ainsi la promotion des objectifs de développement durable afin qu'en 2030, le bilan soit positif.	Les actions humaines produisent des gaz à effet de serre qui porte atteinte à la couche d'ozone, entraînant progressivement des variations climatiques puis des changements climatiques. La mobilité est d'un grand enjeu en matière de réduction de l'émission du carbone. Et cette information, beaucoup de citoyen ne l'ont pas. Je travaille en tant qu'activiste à la transmission de connaissances aux populations. Ceci passe par d'autres actions qui sont menées et dont on profite à parler des actions humaines qui amplifie l'émission du carbone dans la nature comme cette séance de salubrité https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0Aiz2yzj9mQHzkb5qPAbV6iNMQTXjfh1o95JuaU97YpZJT1Dkan8njjnEwpL5dfvHl&id=100002590959037 . Également, l'utilisation des couches hygiéniques à usage unique fait du sachet plastique comporte d'énormes conséquence pour l'environnement. De ce fait, le sachet n'est ni dégradé, ni recyclé. Une approche à été trouvé pour confectionner des serviettes hygiéniques réutilisables en pagne et nous avons été l'apprendre à des filles couturières de Dangbo dans un milieu rural du Bénin https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0W7r9sUVoyNLQW9i6Bk4KHrP9A5o5GvaRkBHjFm51xm9Poo3RFGKjmzQYvz19gTMal&id=108408611612474 . Il est donc important que les femmes soient au cœur des décisions prises en faveur de la lutte contre les changements climatiques. Étant une femme très engagée, être délégué à la COP27 serait une très belle opportunité pour porter la voix des femmes, leurs besoins, mais aussi participer à tout le processus pour rendre compte à mes consoeurs.

973	Michael	Williams	Environmental Foundation for Africa, Sierra Leone	http://www.efasl.org/site/	I am Michael Williams, a Sierra Leonean and currently a third-year student at the African Leadership University (ALU) in Kigali City, Rwanda. I am an upcoming conservationist and a 2020 Mava conservation scholar. Before I was awarded a scholarship to Rwanda in 2020, I had been writing environmental blogs on my Facebook webpage on man's harmful activities on the planet. including outlining mitigation initiatives to tackle these issues. I have also been involved in volunteer exercises such as beach cleaning and tree planting to restore Freetown's ecosystem and data collection of the various plastic stakeholders utilizing plastic. I have also covered environmental issues such as the effect of deforestation on Freetown's peninsular, the negative impact of both plastic and solid waste pollution on citizen health, and the effect of sand mining that leads to coastal erosion on Freetown's coastline. I have also worked as a researcher, project manager, data analyst, and administrative assistant on numerous environmental, business, and green projects in and out of Rwanda. I have also participated in youth and climate change summit dialogues in person and online. My mission is centered on climate action, especially solving the issue of plastic, municipal, and solid waste management problem in my home country, Sierra Leone. I am passionate about starting up a recycling company in the country to create job employment and reduce the negative impact of the different types of waste on Sierra Leone's ecosystem.	I am applying to be a ACMI Youth Forum delegate on Climate Mobility. because it will give me a prestigious opportunity to represent my home country, Sierra Leone. So I can represent the youths of my beloved country, who have pledged to work on climate activism and climate change adaptation measures. I will use the knowledge and the first experience I will gain from this program to leverage climate change initiatives in my home country of Sierra Leone and Rwanda, where I am currently studying. I believe this program will be an eye-opener into climate issues and the challenges and achievements they have made over the past years. I will definitely want to be part of the delegate guest who will peer learn, network, brainstorm, and work on key climate dialogue negotiation and policy-making with various stakeholders in the climate industry, which would lead the climate community towards its climate obligations.

My motivation to become a delegate of the ACMI Youth Forum for COP27 is that I am the National President of a civil society organization in Senegal working on the protection and preservation of the environment. I had to coordinate several reforestation activities, especially in areas affected by the salinity of the land, with the choice of resistant species such as the 'Meumaleka Leceudendron', which is very suitable for this site. My participation in the conference will allow me to carry the voice of young people on climate injustice, the mismanagement of our natural resources by our leaders. Also to be able to exchange with other young people around the world on their activity and ways to adapt to the climate crisis. To participate in the development of large-scale advocacy that could aspire a change in the way of acting in favor of the climate of our leaders.

He holds a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and a Master's degree in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Policy. With over a decade of experience in Information and Communication Technology, he is passionate about Digital Development and inclusive IT policy and framework formulation for developing and least developing countries (LDCs) that will boost and enable Sustainable Development. Passionate about including persons with disabilities (PWD) in Tech and providing them access to the right tools. UNIGF Youth Ambassador 2022. A member of the United Nations International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Innovation challenge mentorship cohort. Mentor for Sustainable Development Solution Network Youth, an initiative of UNSDSN. I seek to improve the digital literacy level of youths in low-income countries via mentoring, collaboration, and partnership, which will further boost the handling, acquiring, and utilization of data for climate prediction and mitigation.	Our environment is evolving. As temperatures rise, severe weather extremes are happening more frequently. The global community has been hesitant to act, and mitigation strategies fall well short of what is required to protect the environment. All of us are impacted. Climate change will have an influence on your life regardless of who you are or where you live. The load will likely fall heaviest on those who are most vulnerable, and the most vulnerable are the children and people in low-income countries and communities who are not necessarily the culprits of climate crises. Yet they have to suffer this faith. These countries even lack the necessary data tools to be able to help mitigate climate change. As a youth who is actively involved with global activities, I believe the time is now for us to act collectively and lend our voices at a global stage and level. We must start getting involved in discussions and decisions that will impact our lives 10-20 years from now. There is no better platform to do this than getting involved in COP27 via the Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum. As a UNIGF Youth Ambassador, and an IT specialist. I believe I can contribute in terms of how best technology can help us in playing a role in Climate Change. Climate change is the century's defining problem. It poses a risk of increasing vulnerability, undermining economic gains, stifling social and economic growth, and deteriorating inhabitants' access to critical services and quality of life across the world. Climate change monitoring, mitigation, and adaptation can all be aided by information and communication technology (ICT) Tools. Geographical Information System (GIS), Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Mobile Technology (MT), Satellite Technology, Remote Sensing. Because of global temperature changes, weather patterns are changing rapidly. ICTs are enabling tools that, when strategically integrated, can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts; they include knowledge centers, mobile phones, and interactive media. ICT can help vulnerable communities reduce the danger of climate change by increasing community education and awareness, sharing practical and theoretical knowledge, and empowering communities to acquire knowledge and relevant information applicable locally in order to save lives. The use of Cloud computing storage for the historical storage of data is key. This will help to facilitate the sharing of data easier.

I am a person who loves and have a passion to learn about different cultures and civilizations. I have confidence in this program to teach me different skills and open my horizons..	I am writing this application as an active community advocate, and this chance will allow me an opportunity to tap into the vast expertise, creativity, and enthusiasm of other young people in order to build and execute climate solutions that will benefit my country and Africa as a whole. I have effective communication and networking skills, and I will therefore be able to work with other young people and share and present our ideas. I am motivated to apply for ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 to represent Libya in the forum and to raise awareness and find perhaps solutions that help make our environment and climate better, especially after the expected climate threats, which indicate a very bad situation, as the European Union mission said that Libya is one of the countries most affected by the effects of climate change and global warming, calling for rapid planning to mitigate the effects of these severe changes and their consequences on the country.

Building great leaders from the slums and intend to expand operations across other African countries and the world as a whole.	Participating in COP27 is an opportunity to join young people across the world promoting and mobilizing grassroots for climate action to demand climate justice showcasing peculiar scenarios of my community and how marginalized we are and how impacted we are by the impacts of climate change especially on women and children. This will scale up my Climate change activities in my community at the local, national, regional and international level. ACMI and its partners are doing such exceptional work that reflects my aspirations. It is an opportunity for me to meet and work with other young people committed to the climate in order to develop my network for more impact in the climate field; then to get trained on the different mechanisms in the face of climate change, accompany and lead joint youth advocacy and support youth-led and youth-focused actions to address the risks and harness the opportunities associated with climate mobility in Africa. adding my voice will save not only my state but also the globe. As they say, "To be silent is to be complicit." I am more determined that when youth share ideas and are involved in making noise globally pertaining to climate justice, the world leaders will listen, and appropriate action will be taken to ensure the safety of one's health and planetary health, as the two approaches are directly linked to climate mobility and also human mobility as animals, the environment, and humans are involved. It will be my greatest achievement to be part of this initiative and to add my voice to this wonderful approach.

982	Ifebuchechukwu francisca	Edeh	Global Environmental and Climate conservation Initiatives	https://www.globalecci.com/	I attended University of Nigeria, Nsukka with a bachelor's degree in the Department of Food and Nutrition under the Faculty of Agriculture. I reflect varied personality including ambition and the qualities of generosity and thoughtfulness. Through my passion for leadership, volunteering, advocacy and humanitarian work, I have embraced a fanatical interest in volunteering for social impact project in different climate organizations like Lift Humanity, Global Environmental and Climate Conservation Initiative Parents for Future Nigeria etc. etc. and currently the youth coordinator for league of women voters of Nigeria Enugu state (NILOWV). I educate women and girls on proper waste disposal and avoidance of other factors that can contribute to climate crisis. I am also a young farmer who promotes and advocate for green environment.	I am writing to express my interest in becoming an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27. The negative effects of climate change are already having direct impact on settlements and economic areas and are consequently influencing migration movement. My experience and impact have been to educate people on several factors that can increase displacement and planned relocation such as a sea rise etc. I focus on educating women and girls because a given evidence that education decreases vulnerability to climate change (8–13) and that greater education in low- and middle-income countries. Education gives girls the skills and knowledge to respond to climate-related disasters and to the changing resource landscapes around them. The contributions of educated girls to their communities increases a region's overall resilience to climate shocks. It helps girls understand and address the impacts of the climate crisis, empowering them with the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes needed to act as agents of change. Research shows that girls are also less likely to return to school after disruptions to their education. UNESCO estimates that about 11 million girls may not return to school once the corona-virus pandemic ends. “Climate change is affecting our lives in many ways. 3Girls and women manage menstruation differently when they are at home or outside; at homes, they dispose menstrual products in domestic wastes, bushes, rivers without knowing the consequences of environmental pollution such act could lead to. To reduce the socioeconomic effect of climate change on women I am always educating and creating awareness about the environmental pollution and health hazards associated with unhygienic menstrual practice, implementation of modern techniques like incineration to reduce the waste, emphases on the use of reusable sanitary products or the natural sanitary products made from materials like banana fiber, bamboo fiber, sea sponges, water hyacinth, and so on. Some of the skills needed by women to be resilient to the impact of climate is water utility protection which is the ability to maintain water quality and availability, and also prioritize climate justice, prepare for managed retreat, replanting forest, restoring damaged ecosystem, diversifying crops so that they are better able to adapt to changing climate, and finally creating awareness and investigating /developing innovative solutions to prevent and manage natural catastrophes by recycling, reusing and reducing waste. I feel this program will increase my learning opportunities about climate mobility and more and give me exposure I need to advance my career in promoting sustainable climate justice practices and enhance cross sectional collaborative skills in me while using what I have learnt to take ownership of assigned responsibilities, to be productive, fulfill commitments and use resources responsibly to achieve a sustainable environment and climate. I look forward to bringing improvement and delivered result during and after the program if granted the opportunity. Thank you for considering my application.

985	Zineb	Jaoudat	JUV Consulting	https://www.juvconsulting.com	Zineb Jaoudat is a 21 year old intersectional activist, creative strategist, and the Social Impact Specialist at JUV. She has consulted across industries with Fortune 500s and worked alongside youth activists, business leaders, non-profits, and policymakers to develop sustainable strategies, build strong communities and drive change. At a young age, Zineb fell in love with humanitarian work and has seen first hand the effects of the climate crisis on her people. At the age of 17, Zineb served at the national board of World Merit Morocco, a non-profit working in Partnership with the United Nations to empower younger generations to take action and contribute to the SDGs. She organised the World Merit Summit 2019 bringing together more than 400+ activists from 49 nationalities. She has been recognized as Youth Ambassador of ONE, where she campaigns to end extreme poverty and preventable disease by 2030. She also published an open letter to the French Prime Minister Emmanuel Macron and contributed to the launch of the One World Campaign. Most recently, she helped develop and implement the Call Your Mother campaign with Force of Nature to bring about action during COP26 and elevate diverse voices. Today, Zineb is the Social Impact Specialist at JUV Consulting where she consults corporations on their CSR strategies to help solve the climate crisis. Her passion for activism led her to work closely with the world’s leading authorities in the sustainability sector. When not working, you can find her lost between two art galleries, traveling or connecting with complete strangers. She believes in the power of art and storytelling to rewrite narratives and disrupt the status quo. Quotes from Zineb: - “We can no longer talk about climate change while turning a blind eye on social justice. We can no longer talk about the Black Lives Movement while forgetting the liberation of Palestinians. The world’s crises have no barriers or borders and so do their solutions.” - “Allowing ourselves to imagine a better and brighter future for all is crucial. Now more than ever, we must work together and take an intersectional approach. Let us treat each other with kindness on this pale blue dot we call earth.” - “Now more than ever, we can not give up because there is still so much worth fighting for. While there may be a plethora of problems, there is for sure a myriad of solutions. We must remember that it is not all doom and gloom and that there is still hope.”	I grew up in Marrakech, Morocco - the red city full of colour and joy, in a household where strangers were treated like family. At 13 years old, I was offered the opportunity of embarking on my journey of giving back to the world. I volunteered in Tighdouine - a rural mountain region and home to an indigenous tribe in Morocco. I spent the next three years visiting the region and building a local school with my classmates which soon led to a strong bond with the locals especially the younger girls my age. We were the same age; yet we lived in two different realities. We lived in the same country; yet it felt like we grew up in alternate universes. While I worried about my school grades, they worried about finding clean water. While I dreamed of travelling the world, they dreamed of a safe place to call home. I soon learned that the climate crisis disproportionately affects minorities and African communities - that it affected my fellow moroccans. Witnessing first-hand the devastating effects of the climate crisis on my people ignited something within me. I devoted my free time to local and international NGOs to help create an impact be it small or big. Last year, I had the privilege to attend COP26, yet unfortunately I noticed the lack of diverse voices from the global south. Countries like Morocco have been affected by historical droughts/fires and many families find themselves displaced from their homes. Being part of ACMI will help me amplify diverse voices who have historically been marginalised from COP and other decision making spaces. I want to amplify the stories of people from my community who have long been silenced and whose narratives get lost in mere statistics. I want to use my privilege to tell the stories of the girls whom I once met in the Tighdouine Moroccan mountains and whose suffering shouldn't go unnoticed. I believe that the climate crisis is the story we failed to tell and unless we include diverse young voices we will not be able to solve it.
986	Vincent	Odongo	University of eldoret	Www.uoeld.ac.ke	I was born in 1994. Being a passionate male and the first born in a family of seven, I have dedicated my entire life to bringing hope to the family. In that regard, I have excelled in my education from primary school, where I attended St. Kizito Academy and managed 336 marks out of 500, which enabled me to proceed to secondary school. During my time in secondary school, I managed to score a B (plain), which provided a gateway to university. Currently, I am pausing my BSc. agriculture (Crop Science). The course covers plant pathology, agronomy, entomology, soil science, and plant biotechnology. I have managed to attend training on computers as well as agroecology and agrobiodiversity. This has enhanced my skills in understanding the importance of the climate in relation to agricultural production. Climate change has affected agriculture to a greater depth and, therefore, from my observation, it needs to be given an upper hand to correct the menace.	I was part of the Agroecology and Agrobiodiversity training in 2022. I was motivated by the need to have a new approach to climatic change, which has greatly affected agriculture. We all need food to survive. Therefore, when something like climate affects it, we all go without food. The effects that have been posed to mankind by climate change have been diverse, and there is a need to address it. We the youth form the greatest percentage of the population, and therefore the change that we may need starts with us. Involving youths in such forums will yield great knowledge as environmental conservation is conducted. This shows that in the near future, the climatic conditions will be sustainable, food will be in plenty and no one will go hungry again. This is an eye opener for the young to take charge of the future.

He consulted for Daystar Energy Solutions, where he provided technical support in developing a 10-year Carbon Credits in line with UNFCCC emission guidelines, replacing around 3,000 electric forklifts with fossil forklifts and saved about 50,000 Mt of CO2. Naphtali research and works with climrenew has won him over $20,000 grants, managed in past and current projects. Naphtali is currently an innovator-in-residence with CrowdSolve, where he is developing curriculum for other climate innovators to be able to build businesses. He is a YALI Fellow, and an incoming student of Masters in Renewable Energy and an MBA at the University of Colorado Boulder. He is also a Youth Sustainable Energy Hub (YSEH) SDGs7 Youth Constituency 2022 cohort.	One primary objective of African Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) is to drive common youth advocacy, and support youth-led, focused action in addressing the risks and harnessing the opportunities associated with climate mobility in Africa. Sequel to this mission, I wish to apply as ACMI COP27 youth delegate to support my journey in climate mitigation and adaptation design and implementation strategy. I participated in One Planet City Challenge (OPCC) by Resilient40, WWF and Climate Reality Leadership Corps (CRLP), among the 20 African youths selected in 2021, who designed a manifesto for urban cities. This strengthened my experience in climate change adaptation through fighting particulates, youth engagements and building a climate tech business. In addition, as a Country mentor (CRLP) I have been exposed to how vulnerable most African communities are to the climate crises, especially around particulates which kill about 4.2 million persons globally every year (WHO), mostly women and children. Nigeria energy crises is hard-pressing citizens to using energy alternatives like fossil generators, firewood, plastic waste to cook, exposing them to particulates, thus causing lung cancer and other respiratory difficulties. The above facts recently are a validation of my B.Sc. Thesis on Particulate matter PM2.5 and PM10 and its negative impacts on human health in 2017, meaning youths also suffer from the impacts of climate change especially around mobility. I lost my dad to leukemia (blood cancer) myself in 2020. While serving as SDGs 7 and 13 P-MUN (MUNDO) director of information in 2017 for an SDGs dialogue, we sensitized 500 people on youth challenges, especially around climate change. This made me apply to Watson Institute $10,000 scholarship in Boulder Colorado as a climate activist and obtained a Certificate in Social Entrepreneurship in addition to my professional training in Project Management, Customer Relationship Management, Health Safety and Environment and the Young Africa Leadership Initiative Training as an Emerging Leader, thus remodeling BNOT to climrenew as a social enterprise and incorporated it in Nigeria. My work with climrenew, GoGreenProjects and the passion to help young people build business also made me applied to the prestigious NUTM Scholars Program (NSP) , learning Negotiations, AI and Machine Learning, Team Dynamics, Public policy, Sustainability, DEIB and TEDLab (reducing energy wastages).Through hosting the Blue Climate Summit as the founder climrenew Captain Planet Foundation (Planeteer Alliance Ambassador) and designing Carbon Credits through which I realized how instrumental youths are in fighting climate change. I strongly believe more work needs to be done in climate change mobility, to allow youths in vulnerable communities have more access to climate opportunities. As someone from a minority community I experienced herders and farmers clashes, a resultant effects of climate change. Being an ACMI delegate will help increase my voice and accessing more climate champions during COP27, forming strong partnerships and strengthening negotiations that can improve the position of youths in climate mobility. Also, being an ACMI delegate will expose me to activities of COP and how that can be translated into community engagements to strengthen climate adaptation in Africa.

You can find him on Twitter @Osumare_Ayomi.	The issue of climate change has become personal for me because it affects me, definitely. I live in a world where the ozone layer has peeled off. I feel the sun differently now. Many people are feeling the same way, without understanding why things changed, until certain things happened first and caused a strong awakening. In my case, a tragedy felt via someone else’s story first made me realize that we were in deep problems. The first time in my life that I felt the horror deeply was when I saw the effects of climate issues in Warri through the girl’s eyes, the girl whose story I told. It was in secondary school. We were in JSS3. Listening to her story unified us in a common loss. There were also other instances I experienced the implications of climate change. It was during my undergraduate moments in the university. And it was a very remote encounter. I was sitting in the Common Room, watching a movie, when a guy sitting next to me unwrapped a bubble gum and threw the foil on the floor. A woman had just mopped that floor and it was shiny and, somehow, the appearance of that litter prickled me between the shoulders. I imagined that single nylon piece becoming two, three, more, many, swelling into a zombie assault of refuse that could never be contained, and I blurted to him: “Pick it up.” I have written a major nonfiction regarding this, titled "PAINT IT IN A COLOR THEY CAN SEE", and it can be accessed in the Green We Left Behind anthology. (Link: https://artsloungenyc.com/product/the-green-we-left-behind-anthology/) The piece won the First-place Award for Impact in the French Embassy nonfiction contest, 2022. And it has inspired so many conversations about climate change. (I provided the Zoom link below.) I have advocated that we turn our gaze away from fossil fuels (coal-burning power plants). They emit the largest carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, according to Natural Resources Defense Council. Therefore, I plan to discourage public investors from investing in this industrial coal production. I could write a petition to party leaders and candidates to let them know that my vote and my friends’ votes rest on their stance on global warming, on whether they would support and sustain feasible climate-saving alternatives, like investing in biofuels, solar, hydroelectric and wind energies. I would also encourage my friends in other countries to do the same, so we can achieve global solutions. While writing, I also thought of many other victims of climate change. And then, because these tragic, yearning accounts are many and there is strength in number and in persistence, maybe someone somewhere in power will finally hear the people and we can all put forth our hands to heal our environment. And I see becoming an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 as a great platform and opportunity for me to contribute to the achievement of our global goals.

I am a Tanzanian who lives in Dar es Salaam City. I have graduated this year at Dar es Salaam Institute of technology(DIT) whereby I took bachelor in electronics and telecommunications engineering. Throughout my four years of studies I have been doing research and develop various solutions to the problems facing the society. On part of Climate change, I together with my team have been involving technology so as to limit the effects of climate change in the world by creating devices that are helpful to secure agricultural sector from its decline. One of the devices works in collecting data of the harmful insects like armyworms from the field. Apart from that as a member of YUNA Tanzania, I have participateed in various activities to tackle the issues about Climate change (SDG number 13).For instance to participate various panel discussions, tree planting and beach clean ups. It has always been my pleasure and makes me feel good to save the world from the effects of climate change through my skills and knowledge I have acquired.	I, Joyce Gerold Mbilinyi believes that being an ACMI Youth Forum delegate will be a best platform to discuss as Youth about nature and ecosystem based solutions since there is a need to quickly respond and act on the increasing urgency of climate change. In cooperation with many non governmental organisations, I have been participating in various activities on achieving the 13th SDG which is climate change by increasing awareness to the society on how to conserve the environment to limit climate change, organise and participate various youth panel discussions concerning climate change. Also it will be a best platform to discuss diverse geographical representation across Africa, gender balance and diverse range of experience of climate impacts and mobility. As Youth, our voices will be heard to the world so that everyone can be responsible to ensure that our future is protected from the effects of climate change. With good environment and climate, other activities like technology applications, engineering and so on can easily be done well. I believe if I get the chance to participate as COP27 delegate, I will represent my fellow Youth in the world well.

She currently works as the climate change project lead at the Global Shapers Harare Hub which is an initiative of the World Economic Forum. In her work she designs projects which mitigate migration as a result of the climate crisis. She is an alumnus of the Mandela Washington Fellowship under the leadership in civic engagement track at Appalachian State University. Clandestine is a member of the Zimbabwe Environmental Lawyers Association and an Alumna of the Youth Empowerment and Transformation Trust leadership development program. Shee is passionate about uplifting rural communities that are side by side with animal habitats; she does this by improving access to education for girls by fundraising to donate stationery to them. Clandestine holds a Bachelor of Laws (with honors) from the University of Zimbabwe. She is motivated by the desire to develop solutions that resolve human-wildlife conflicts in a way that benefits both humans and the environment, and she is committed to promoting environmental awareness in Africa.	As an environmental lawyer in Zimbabwe, participating as an ACMI Youth Forum Delegate will not only help further my knowledge as an environmentalist but will go a long way in ensuring that the communities I work with in fighting climate change will be well represented. I work with the Global Shapers Community Harare an initiative of the World Economic Forum in addressing food security concerns to local farmers who are affected by climate change. As a result of the climate crisis, farmers in Victoria Falls are forced to migrate to rural areas because of the climate related human elephant conflict which poses a threat to their fields. The climate crisis has also resulted in food shortages for animals in the wild, we have seen elephants migrating to areas where fields are and destroying crops resulting in farmers moving away from their native lands. This kind of migration is beneficial to their produce but detrimental to the future of their children. This is because they will be forced to move around schools a lot affecting the quality of their education. I have trained farmers in Victoria Falls in chili and bee farming as measures to keep elephants away from their fields and this deterrent measure has seen a 15% reduction in the migration of farmers and their families. Participating as a Youth Delegate will help me network with various actors in the climate mobility space and get insights on how human elephant conflict can be mitigated in Zimbabwe. The COP 27 will also enable me to contribute meaningfully towards the clean energy agenda. As a volunteer with Zimbabwe Environmental Lawyers Association (ZELA), I work with the organization in conducting environmental impact assessments in power stations and mining companies around Zimbabwe. This has seen the rise in public interest litigations as a result of companies which contribute towards pollution and have taken zero steps towards transitioning to clean energy sources like solar power. I am currently working towards a clean energy policy together ZELA and the Ministry of Environment to ensure accountability of companies contributing to emission of carbon monoxide into the atmosphere. I have also trained local communities around Zimbabwe on the use of biogas, and this has showed a 10% decrease in deforestation in the Matebeleland North region. I will have an opportunity to interact with actors in the energy space and collaborate on initiatives which can benefit our different communities. Through this conference I will be able to establish bold commitments and innovative partnerships with various actors in the environmental space who are working towards combatting climate mobility and generating impactful change in sustainability. Such partnerships will be effective in pushing towards the international development agenda and promoting the involvement of minority groups in fighting the effects of climate change.
1019	Kauka	Davis	YPMP		My name is Kauka Davis, a university student at Uganda Christian University and I am persuing a bachelor's in laws. I joined the UCU Honours College platform with the major aim of transforming our communities in various sects of life ranging from social, economic, political, health among others were we go to the communities and teach them about various key aspects of life. Climate change is one of the major central sect we base on because it has rampantly affected our communities in the country ranging from unpredictable rains, continuous heat waves, floods etc which has affected there everyday life. Therefore, we go to these people and teach them what they are supposed to do and not to do so as the effect of climate change does not badly hit them. I have done this through workshops, sanitizing the masses, translating information into the local langauages they understand better and include the public at large. However, we need collective efforts which organisations such as Unicef, AU etc to see that we achieve the SDG in a specified period of time.	My motivation is basically to meet fellow youths at the conference and discuss issues in regards to climate change and how they are doing in there various countries to see that they combat the pandemic of climate change. My experience in climate change is a quite a good one because i have been working with various climate change organisations to see that information is extended to local people and how bad the climate change will affect us especially there children if we do not work together to reduce its effects. I have also made several resaerch for organisations in regards to climate change and that has enhanced my understanding of climate change even better and also I believe if I make to the conference I will get more information whicb I will extend to other fsllow youths and to the communities to see that people have a better understanding of this disease called climate change.

He is a Non-Executive Director for Last Mile Energy, a subsidiary of Tatanga Energy.	Climate Mobility is a subject that is pressed at the core of everything i stand and work for. Understanding how as human beings relate and are able to share ideas on how to solve climate challenges and the movement of human beings as a result of these challenges, will enable me to lead the companies I'm involved with in the right direction. The growing realization that climate action in all its forms is key to getting this world on track, is a driving factor for my career in social entrepreneurship. The COP27 will enable me to meet like minded individuals and organizations who will enable me position my business and career better for climate action. Growing up in Karoi, Mashonaland West Province of Zimbabwe, I witnessed how the community lagged behind because of lack of access to energy. Because of this under development of the communities, there was urban migration which robbed these communities of talented personnel and further contributed to it lagging behind. I saw how the impact of a solar lamp with a phone charger, has on a household, in terms of outlook, progress, education and household income, (due to improved farming practices and access to wider markets and inputs.) This really motivated me to become involved in the renewable energy sector and start working towards developing rural African communities to slow down urban migration and foster positive change.

I am the CEO and founder of HumanAID initiative in KAKUMA REFUGEES CAMP. HumanAID is a local-to-local initiative devoted to support the life of the community in KAKUMA REFUGEES CAMP especially young girls and women refugees. I have been doing this community work for several years amd have been committed helping young people overcoming their challenges and building a good realistic attitude towards our future	There is a growing awareness that the adverse impacts of climate change increasingly contribute, directly and indirectly, to different forms of mobility that unfold within countries and across borders. While, to date, most studies on climate-related migration have focused on adult populations, emerging evidence indicates that children also become uprooted and displaced due to climate change, or they are left behind when parents are compelled to move in search of livelihoods. There is an expanse of research on children and mobility, although not specifically framed as driven by climatic factors. This includes both children’s own mobility, as migrants or refugees, and the mobility of parents who leave children behind in their places of origin. This literature highlights the multiple risks children encounter during their journeys (e.g. violence, trafficking, forced labour, and other forms of exploitation) and the disadvantaged situation children find themselves in (e.g. high rates of school dropout, poor access to health care and other services), particularly when they move through unofficial and unsafe channels or as unaccompanied minors. These outcomes, in turn, can have lasting implications for children’s development and may reinforce and exacerbate their vulnerability and exposure to climate and other types of risks. This paper unpacks the relationship between climate change and different forms of mobility and highlights the importance of language for shaping discourses about people on the move, and the role of such discourses in driving policy responses. The paper reflects on the implications these may have for securing the rights and protection of adults and children moving in the context of climate change.

Karamoja, a region in the Northeastern part of Uganda registers a loud cry of hunger crisis since the beginning of 2022 to date. The crisis is attributed to the semi-arid nature of the region experiencing variable climatic conditions which have subjected communities to uncertainties on decisions pertaining to their livelihoods. Numerous pieces of evidence, such as the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) reports, show that the risks associated with climate variability have increased. Reports also highlight an increase in vulnerability to poverty by many households as a result of unfavorable climatic conditions inform of droughts and untimely rains. The main causes of the recent hunger calamity in the region are drought exacerbated by hostile climate change, a prior low crop yield, army worm infestation, inequity, and insecurity that resulted in the loss of cattle and displacement from fertile lands. Due to insufficiency in their resource base, the Karamoja region’s poor and marginalized inhabitants are less equipped to lessen the effects of impending disasters or respond to them when they do occur. Over 700 cases of hunger-related deaths have been reported in the area recently, and 518,000 people are on the verge of dying from the newest silent killer disease (hunger) if nothing is done. Although reports of hunger and starvation in Karamoja are supported by evidence, no adequate or prompt action has been taken in response. Additionally, less than 20% of the afflicted population is covered by the government and humanitarian organizations assistance programmes. The prevailing hunger crisis has led to high mortality and malnutrition rates especially among children under 5 years, lactating mothers, pregnant women, People with disabilities (PWDs), HIV/AIDS patients and the elderly. The recent integrated phase classification 2022 reports reveal that about 56,600 children in Karamoja are affected by acute malnutrition and are in need of treatment, 46,300 children are moderately malnourished while over 10,200 children are severely malnourished. As an advocate on climate, I have been working with different agencies to design sustainable measures to climate variability proving to be an issue in the region.
1029	Evans	Richard Onyango	All Africa Students Union AASU	https://aasuonline.org/	Biography Dr Evans Richard Onyango is a graduate veterinary surgeon from University of Nairobi, Kenya and currently the Co founder and Vice president of Eastern Africa students and youth organisation EASYO, Environmental and Justice Advisory Board member of Global students forum headquartered in Belgium. He is passionate about Youth Education, Empowerment and Justice across Africa where he advocate for equality in education for Youth. He is a strong activist through Youth×Youth, an organisation which gave him mandate as a Global Action Circle program host to provide sustainable solutions to challenges affecting Youth.	Evans Richard Onyango One of the greatest gifts my parents gave to me, very early on, was a keen sense of just how unique my childhood was. Though by no means a position of high stature, my mother’s clerical post at the Anglican Church of Kenya in Migori( a small village in Kenya)provided us with an immense array of benefits, and those that impacted me most were, unsurprisingly, the plethora of cultural institutions a short walk away from our home During my undergraduate work at University of Nairobi, I developed an interest in leadership to champion environmental management after successfully been selected as the Secretary General of University of Nairobi students union UNSA. I’m motivated to address sophisticated problems like this for a fairly non-academic reason. Throughout the last two years, I’ve participated in organization drives with Eastern Africa students and youth organisation EASYO, my region’s largest students union. Admittedly, I came to this work with quite personal motivations, having seen my mother’s leadership positions often under attack by naïve or even ignorant efforts to automate various aspects. This was immeasurably satisfying, and although not every negotiation was a success, I was able to contribute something unique to a class of colleagues I felt had suffered under an outmoded and overly aggressive model of leadership for nearly 20 years. In short, I would like to pursue graduate work in leadership program because I think my work can have an overwhelmingly positive impact. Have also volunteered to different organisations such as UNESCO, ACCORD and All Africa Students Union as a board member. I would arrive and continue to be an enthusiastic and incredibly engaged student and be honored to assist in the incredible work being undertaken by both faculty and fellow graduate students alike. As such, I would seek to serve as a paragon not only interdisciplinarity and intellectual inventiveness to my future students, but to continue to be a productive and prominent member of cohort if considered as a delegate for the forum. Am very confident to be the best candidate for the fellowship due to the due urge to Foster the leadership skills that I will be able to gain during the period and have experience to provide sustainable solutions to challenges affecting my community. Have worked with Waangari Maathai foundation as a volunteer for the last 7years where I developed youth led programs to plant over 10million tress so far at Mau Forest in Kenya and also petition the government when there is violation on the environmental act

1031	Petros	Nduwa	ArtMal	lauraligomeka7@gmail.com	My name is Petros J Nduwa, a Malawian young man age 27. I was born I Kasungu district in Malawi and raised there. I attended my education in Malawi. First at Madisi Secondary school where I obtained my Malawi School Certificate of Education in 2016. I went to Malawi University of Science and Technology in 2017 to study Bsc Sustainable Energy Systems. In 2022 I enrolled online with the University of Cape Town and obtained a certificate in Climate Adaption Africa. Currently I am having a Global Energy and Climate policy certificate study with the University of London. From Climate Science to Action, a certificate with the World Bank group. I am so motivated in the subject of climate change because I want to help my country and Africa at large.	The subject of climate change has captured my attention big time since I got to college. I studied Sustainable Energy Systems and looking at the circumstances I saw that there is a link between climate variability and energy generation as in Malawi we rely on hydroelectricity. Prolonged droughts and too much runoffs have been adversely impacting our energy supply. On the other hand, the country's food security is becoming poorer and poorer due to dry spells are are becoming frequent. In curiosity I studied with the University of Cape Town on Climate Adaption Africa and I've known the climate Adaption planning and options. My study with the University of London on Global Energy and Climate policy has clearly showed me that poor health is also being caused by the greenhouse gases that cause Global Warming. At college I did a survey on Health and Social Economic Impacts of improved cook stoves in rural areas of Malawi. In the study I found that traditional cook stoves are accelerating climate change as the use wood as fuel, and also associated the release of more carbon due to incomplete combustion. I am very passionate about environment and have worked on MudiRiver Cleanup Project which is an Environment Protection project. I am so motivated to participate so that I can share the experience and incidents I have witnessed in my practical studies. I also want to learn from others so that together we can fight off climate change and take proper adaptation measures.

1033	Wendy	Mwende	Guardians of Life Youth Group	https://kmunene22.wixsite.com/website	Wendy Mwende is an economist with over 3 years’ experience as a planning officer. She is currently working with Tharaka University in Kenya, and as a volunteer for Guardians of Life (GOL). As a planning officer volunteer, her duties include preparing, planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating GOL short run and long run goals and objectives on matters environmental conservation and other priority areas. In addition to these duties, she loves traveling, nature walks and hikes hence her passion for environmental conservation. Over the years, Tharaka Nithi has been facing persistent drought despite having large tracts of arable land, permanent rivers have dried and the residents rely heavily on the inconsistent rainfall. Through GOL and other partners, we intend to continually sensitize farmers on smart ways of farming, water harvesting methods and planting more trees to increase tree cover and mitigate the negative effects of climate change. Through proper planning, GOL has planted trees in over 20 schools and riparian lands in the Arid areas of Tharaka through the Adopt a tree program. GOL has also sensitized over 500 locals on environmental conservation.	I live and work in Gatunga, Tharaka South Subcounty, Tharaka Nithi county, Kenya. During the day temperatures rise to about 39ᵒ C during the day and 21ᵒ C during the night. During the day it gets very hot and windy that it becomes very difficult to do any productive activity. Some schools do not teach past noon because the learners barely concentrate. As at September, 2022 all the rivers which used to be permanent have dried with the exception of one which is kilometers away. Residents have to go miles looking for water for domestic use and for their animals. Those that can afford tapped water have to endure water rationing and get water like three times a week. The University around has planted over 10,000 trees in its land. This has created a micro environment within the University and the students and staff enjoy a serene learning and living environment. This is proof that environmental conservation is a win. I am highly motivated to continue the efforts that GOL has put in place to spread the culture of tree planting and growing through the county. I believe that these joint efforts will help us reclaim our forests and riparian lands and bring water to our people as rain or in rivers. The COP27 experience will equip me with networks, experiences, success stories and strategies that I intend to duplicate to help my community and country and contribute to the global efforts of reducing the effects of climate change.

Through campaigning, research, and the implementation of a project that will help people and organizations all over the world realize their responsibility to conserve nature, my organization aspired and mobilize youth across two country in Africa to protect and restore nature, through Organizing a group of volunteers from various African countries to organize daily awareness campaigns about environmental conservation issues on the continent, and inviting seasoned speakers to address important topics on a variety of topics once a month which have helped over +10,000 individuals and 5 organizations understand their responsibility to preserve nature. In order to promote ambitious goals for achieving the SDGs over the course of a year in Nigeria, I organized monthly advocacy visits to lawmakers and residents of my state with a team of executives and volunteers. I lead a team of 10 volunteer on a 7-day ocean conservation project and bootcamp with the goals of promoting ocean awareness and conservation, installing an ocean ambassador, hosting seminars and workshops on green jobs, and launching a mop-up program. The globe has succeeded in narrowing the warming gap from a predicted 4°C to 2.1°C in the last few decades. Such development demonstrates that this aim is achievable, but only if the commitments made by nations are followed through on. The UN COP27 in Egypt this year will be a pivotal opportunity for nations to unite in support and map out a course for the full and ongoing execution of more ambitious climate action while boosting trust in the multilateral climate regime. In order to preserve the lives and livelihoods of the most vulnerable communities worldwide and to ensure sustained cooperation, countries must adopt credible, ambitious 1.5°C-aligned goals. At Egypt for cop27 will be a channel through which i can share how the indigenous community where we work are more vulnerable to the effect of climate change (https://youtu.be/yYuwohr30ZI) which need urgent intervention to safe the lives of my community people. The IPCC made it clear that because of the urgency of their needs, vulnerable nations cannot wait for multi-year talks. No one must be left behind, according to COP27. This can be done by immediately beginning the execution of climate action processes that were introduced at COP26 in Glasgow. If given the chance, I will contribute to bettering of the process for a smooth deliberation at the negotiation table toward climate action and represent the interests of the 1,000+ indigenous people living in the community of Araromi and Aiyetoro where my organization works. Through this, I can express their opinions and beliefs and we can fight to advance their needs.
1038	Ademola	Rahman	Standard Chartered Bank	https://www.linkedin.com/in/ademola-rahman-a29475179	I graduated from the university in 2016 and become a founding member and mentor of a charity organization, Voice to the Street, which focuses on supporting the less privileged children within the Lagos metropolis in education, technical skills, and mentorship. Coupled with these, we distribute educational materials for students like school bags, books, and other stationery. Some of these kids are enrolled in our scholarship scheme annually. As a Youth Corps member between Nov 2017-Nov 2018, I was fully dedicated to the service of my country. We engaged in numerous community development services, ranging from reconstruction and renovation of primary facilities needed by the community, health and environmental services, awareness, and sensitization outreach. As a student of political science and one who is very much interested in ensuring credible leaders emerge, I volunteered as an ad-hoc staff presiding officer during the 2019 general elections in Nigeria, where I ensured a free, fair, and credible voting process. This was a big milestone for me in contributing my quota to the democratic process of my country. In 2019, I joined the Standard Chartered Bank as a KYC/CDD Analyst and because of my exemplary leadership towards contributing to the good of young people around me and the greater good of the world in general, I was selected as the first representative of Standard Chartered Bank Nigeria at the One Young World Summit in London. The annual One Young World Summit brings together the most talented young leaders from global and national companies, NGOs, universities, and other forward-thinking organizations. During the summit delegates' debate, I formulated and shared innovative solutions to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals which was taken into consideration. After the summit, I had the opportunity to champion the elimination of single-use plastic items across our location as a bank in Nigeria. As a bank, this serves as one of the many ways we help protect the environment by reducing the number of plastics we release into the ecosystem, which eventually blocks our drainage and pollutes our water ways. My zest and contribution to education for all has earned me a selection as a 2020 Ambassador for the World Literacy Foundation, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. As an Ambassador of the World Literacy Foundation 2020, my team and I initiated a project called "Kids Learning Workbook" which aimed at helping kids who do not have access to digital platforms for learning due to the limited economic resources at their disposal. So far, we have been able to distribute hundreds of workbooks to aid learning for young kids in the southern (Edo state) and northern (Gombe state) regions of the country. I also served as a panel member for the SCBN "Seeing is Believing" project, a project that sponsored 49 mid-level eye health practitioners to the IAPB general assembly conference in Singapore. I am also a member of Standard Chartered Bank's FutureMakers fundraising team, which is committed to raising USD50 million by 2023 to combat inequality and increase economic inclusion for young people across our markets.

A Masters’ degree holder in Big Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence prior to an Honours degree in Statistics. Competent with Big Data Analytics, Advanced Excel, Dashboard Python and have both academic research and industrial work experience. I am a data scientist, analyst and manager who has got an opportunity to bring application of computer science to advance the frontiers of health research, climate change and health economics to solve global challenges, and contribute to social development goals, particularly goal number 3: Good health and well-being. Recent technological advances such as machine learning, including deep understanding and big data, promise to bridge the gap between health challenges and solutions. Currently were I am involved in the data management and analysis of research data involving processes of data acquisition, data management, data harmonization, analysis, interpretation and publication of results within the HE2AT & HIGH Horizons projects. The NIH-supported HEat and HEalth in Africa Transdisciplinary Center, HE2AT Center is a 5 - to 10-year project that addresses key research questions around climate change and health in Africa, with a focus on extreme heat effects on maternal and child health. It is part of a larger NIH initiative called the DS-I Africa program (https://dsi-africa.org ). The HIGH Horizons project will run over four years and includes nine partners across seven countries and encompasses activities in both the EU and sub-Saharan Africa. The project addresses a number of key knowledge gaps around the quantification and monitoring of direct and indirect impacts of heat exposure on maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH). In the project, pregnant women, infants and health workers serve as sentinel populations for tracking climate change impacts, adaptations and co-benefits. Prior to that I was responsible for business development and research at Premier Services Holding Company. I was involved in leading and championing investigative activities to develop new products, business models, procedures, systems and technologies to reshape the future of the Group offerings. Research activities cover the development of production techniques, feasibility studies, due diligence, term sheet formulation, grant application writing, technology adoption and gathering market insights to ensure the Group stays relevant in the short, medium, and long term, unveiling health data patterns. This involves leading technology changes that impact all Group entities and their respective industries, particularly Health Insurance, Health Care Provision, Microfinance & other investments. I have also worked as a Project Manager and Business Analyst Intern with a nationally reputable NNTC organization in conjunction with the Russian University implementing data models and chatbots for improving oil and gas production. Before my studies and work in Russia, I worked in Zimbabwe on many data-related projects ranging from traditional time series forecasting of tourist flows for the Zimbabwe Statistical office (ZIMSTAT) and a traffic count survey for the City of Harare to machine learning models for HIV/AIDS policy data modelling.	I am applying to be a delegate for the to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27. Currently I am involved in the data management and analysis of research data involving processes of data acquisition, data management, data harmonization, analysis, interpretation and publication of results within the HE2AT & HIGH Horizons projects.

In the project, pregnant women, infants and health workers serve as sentinel populations for tracking climate change impacts, adaptations and co-benefits. Several activities have been done in both of these projects. It would be an honor to share our experiences. The position presents an exciting opportunity to bring awareness and share problems and solutions in addressing the application of various methods I.e data science to advance the frontiers of health research, climate change, health economics to solve global challenges, and contribute to social development goals, particularly goal number 3: Good health and well-being. Recent technological advances such as machine learning, including deep understanding and big data, promise to bridge the gap between health-climate change challenges and solutions. I hope for the programme to foster collaboration among us young people, particularly in vulnerable groups to deliver greenhouse gas emission reductions and help ensure a just transition to a net-zero economy which alleviates poverty and helps secure a sustainable future. I am a T-shaped skilled professional, meaning that my expertise includes a vertical deep technical insight or competency (seeing the trees) complemented a broad horizontal understanding. Technically, the value I bring to the forum is my experience, challenges I have met in the process to address the climate change challenges. I find the COP as the supreme decision-making forum bringing signatory governments together once a year to discuss and agree how to jointly address climate change and its impacts. As it marks its 30 years, it will be a delight for me during my 30th birthday to celebrate it promoting the world to live better.

1043	Deborah	Fadeyi	Renewable Energy and Environmental Sustainability for Africa Initiative	http://reesafrica.org	Yetunde Deborah has a decade experience working on Climate, Energy and Health Projects. Her work explores the nexus between renewable energy, food security, climate-smart health programs, and climate mobility projects. She holds a Masters degree from Cardiff University in Sustainable Energy and Environment and has spent the last decade working in the intersection of climate and sustainability with organisations such as IRENA, the WB, and the EU. For the past decade, Yetunde Deborah Fadeyi has dedicated herself to providing leadership that delivers interdisciplinary solutions in rural and remote communities suffering from energy poverty, water and sanitation and environmental issues across Nigeria. She has considerable expertise of championing impactful energy access interventions focusing on renewable energy solutions for the most vulnerable and marginalised population and promoting environmental sustainability campaigns to increase the awareness of environmental issues and drive change. She led and supported interventions for 11 unserved communities without prior access to electricity for 5,000 beneficiaries and enabled over 200 youths in Nigeria and Ghana to deliver advocacy campaigns toward environmental sustainability. Recently, she led an island project for 1,200 people in Lagos using solar to power an innovative German-designed batteryless extensive water treatment plant for Agala Community ridden with oil spills. She also used the off-grid solar to power the sanitation facilities whilst converting the sewage into biogas via a biodigester, allowing local women food entrepreneurs to cook and service their customers in due time without exposure to pollution. As a policy enthusiast, she constantly seeks platforms and opportunities to contribute significantly to effective policies and programs that shape and determine energy access opportunities and experiences, especially for socioeconomically marginalised groups and disadvantaged communities across Africa, using practical solutions for her overall professional practice. She has participated in several policy sessions with international organisations such as IEA, BrainTrust, and governments strengthening the political will to propose people-centred transitions and how to mitigate the effects on marginalised communities as a developmental issue for an equitable and just transition is one of her key strengths- also alleviating rural-urban migration. Recently, she worked with the Lagos State Government, C40 Cities and the Ministry of the Environment to develop the Lagos Climate Action Plan 2020-2025, supported by UNDP and GIZ. Her ultimate goal is to leverage her competencies across policies, research and practice, and entrepreneurship domains to democratise energy access and sustainability, ultimately enabling smooth energy transition for sustainability for millions of people. Her outstanding academic and professional leadership accomplishments have been deservingly recognized and rewarded locally and globally, including being nominated for the 2020 Future Award Africa Prize for Community Action, a prize the World Bank calls the "Nobel Prize for Young Africans."	Climate crisis as an environmental and developmental issue has sparked up another crisis of aggravated rural -urban migration. Take for example; Lagos and Oyo states in Nigeria . These two big cities has received a massive influx of rural migrants from the north and the Lake Chad due to the insurgence fanned by the flames of climate catastrophe and the non existence of basic amenities such as access to energy , water and the effects of climate change on farming causing young adults and youths to migrate in numbers in search of a better life. This forced mobility does not just impact youths , but women and children - women who are burdened with the responsibilities of being the primary caretaker and children who are least equipped dealing with the uncertainty that this brings. Nigeria is a highly mobile country where the potency for climate change to drive internal climate migration will increase in the coming decades and for a coastal city like Lagos accommodating migrants, there seems to be catastrophe budding as Lagos is set to sink by 2050 due to the rising sea level https://guardian.ng/opinion/the-warning-on-a-sinking-lagos/. Internal climate migration in Nigeria could reach a high of 9.4 million by 2050, the second highest among West African countries after Niger.Concerted action at the global level to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is an imperative to reduce the climate pressures that drive people to migrate. While a potent and daunting challenge, climate-induced migration presents an opportunity for Nigeria to advance socioeconomic goals, to develop rural landscapes and build climate resilience for rural and marginalised communities. This is what I have been working on - providing access to renewable electricity for productive use in rural areas to deliver holistic solutions that enable people remain in their homes. As well as empowering youths with different employment mechanisms and capacity building to give them a reason to remain .This localised , climate-friendly, inclusive development solutions can significantly reduce the scale of migration and serve as the first line of defense. Also, this has helped exploiting new economic opportunities for the communities - youths can now pick up other career path such as solar technicians as opposed to conventional farming.

Ever since I participated in the UNFCC learning paths to get certified in climate change adaptation and mitigation by experts in this field, I grew to see the need to start taking action, especially in my country, where I experience the effect firsthand. In 2020, I organized an online advocacy community based on the Global Assembly to distribute lessons on climate change among youth I have collected which over 80 youth partake in. However, due to the limited resources on hand, I couldn’t continue. But my efforts didn’t fall short because the only solution was to learn more and join more networks with the same intentions as me, and that’s what I did. Currently, As the Program and Policy Officer for the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade for Ethiopia, South Sudan, Djibouti and the Central African Republic, I'm working with projects that focus on climate change and creating a sustainable environment using clear/renewable energy, green trade, and policymaking to reinforce climate mitigation and resilience.

As a ShARE - Do Well Do Good consultant I help companies transition into clean energy and environmental sustainability to balance economic performance with societal progress. I worked with companies in my country and studied areas of improvement for them to "Do Well and Do Good" making their operations greener and more sustainable. Previously, I lead agritech projects that AI and technology for land preservation and forset monitoring to reduce forest degradation and protect our environment. I'm also part of the SDSN youth volunteer group. Furthermore, as a policy researcher, which combines research and development, I prepare reports on the impacts of climate change on rural households, policy briefs, and research publications related to climate change adaptation and mitigation across East Africa.

I'm very passionate about climate change and developing new engineering solutions based on technologies	as i described earlier i have some experiences in climate change mobility staffs, i ve done many extracurricular activities of mobilizing people to maintain environment ecosystem by conserving trees trees, proper waste management and using gases in the place of charcoal and woods for cooking i have done various energy projects to preserve environment like biogas production plant and self charging motorcycle system which i cannot describe here In the university with my colleagues we started a club that have aim of making project that is based on engineering courses we take to maintain environmental degradation and maintain wellbeing of the whole ecosystem i want to express my motivation of attending Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum as i wish to pursue my career in the way that maintain environment i will be happy to attend the summit and i am looking forwarding to hearing the best answer
1053	SOMAIA	SHAHIN	BURSA TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY	btu.edu.tr	I am a third year environmental engineering student. I follow climate change and new developments to reduce the problem of climate change. I moved between three countries, namely the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Turkey, except for the geographical difference. For example, the temperature increases every year by one or two degrees in Saudi Arabia, and the same is true in Egypt and Turkey, where the winter is getting colder and the summer is getting hotter. In terms of agriculture, the agricultural yield decreases in Egypt due to the lack of Nile water, and it decreases in Iraq due to the shortage of the Tigris River Of course, one of the main factors behind the shortage of rivers is climate change In terms of energy, it is also my study that as soon as possible, petroleum energy will be exchanged with renewable energy.	Climate change is inevitably an escape from it, but there are many ways to reduce it as much as possible. The African countries are the most natural countries, especially Egypt. But there are no cadres to specialize God's creatures to recycle or consume instead of consumable materials. When I learned about ACIM, I felt it was the opportunity to see plans and express plans to start serious steps in our region.

1055	CHIMFWEMBE	MUTALE	YAAKA WASTE-TO-ENERGY MANAGEMENT CO	https://www.linkedin.com/company/yaaka-investments-limited/	I was born on 8th April 1992 in a family of 8 on the Copperbelt Province of Zambia in Kitwe City and currently single. I attended primary, secondary and University Schools in the same region. I acquired a degree in chemical engineering in 2018. During campus days I mentored catechumens undergoing Sacramento lessons for my religion for 5 years and the candidates became very successful leaders in the religion. After studies I worked as a voluntary tutor at the Jesuit Leadership Development Center in Kitwe Zambia, for two years in which I tutored more than 50 college entrants and are now in their final year of study. I currently run an ecoprenuer startup company solving community & global challenges of waste management and climate change called Yaaka Waste to Energy co which I founded during University in 2015 with the majority of youths within it for which he has been awarded two times at local and international level and through it innovated a successful waste to energy zero emissions incinerator for the first time in Zambia. Most importantly I am the founder of Word Made Flesh mentorship program for young boys below 20 years which has been running for 10 years now and impacted more than 500 youths who are now living successful lifestyles. In addition, I am a proforestation activist with practical experience and a trained youth activist, trained by Afyamzuri which originated from Botswana which deals with the health and wellbeing of the youth. In addition, I have published three books which promotes diversity and peace especially in Africa and was well received to the majority readers. Furthermore, I am a board member of the Friends of the Street Children non-governmental Organization which looks at the welfare of street children in Zambia. Furthermore I have spoken at different occasions in his religion in advocating for peace. I earned the 2020 Mwape Peer Awards(Engineering Excellence) Award for innovative and creative ideas of facilitating sustainable waste management and other local/international awards. I am currently a qualified member of the global consultant platform Onfrontiers as an expert consultant in climate change and energy. I represent Zambia at the Community of Global Leaders (CGL) and the Biennale of Luanda 2021-22 Pan-African Forum for the Culture of Peace by UNESCO, African Union and the Government of Angola under the theme Science, Technology and Innovation to Fight against Crisis and Pandemics. Recently, I represented Zambia at the just ended World Water Forum, Dakar Senegal (Youth Space) and the Sustainable Energy for All Forum in Kigali Rwanda. As written in one of my books I believe youths fitter for new projects than for settled business and making every effort for that to happen, thus my desire to participate in the climate fellowship. My leadership role started way-back as a mission’s coordinator of the Copperbelt University Catholic Students Community (CASC), Secondary school as a prefect and primary school as a class monitor and the class became very successful in their results and general conduct.	For so many years I Chimfwembe Mutale have linked waste management, climate mobility challenges in Africa to lack of STEM related innovations. This made me study Chemical Engineering at university with an orde to find solutions to the stated challenges above. This has indeed also motivated me to apply for this role at ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 in order to share my experience relating to climate mobility. In addition I am the Founder and Managing Director at Yaaka Investments Limited- an ecoprenuer start-up company solving community & global challenges of waste management and climate change across the globe. The following are the roles and impacts that I have performed so far in the organization as a Senior Project Manager.• Oversaw all major company innovative projects for 5+ years, focusing on climate change, water and sanitation, smart energy solutions and consultancy. • Responsible for creating, improving and developing engineering technologies which are now available to the communities in which they have been installed and operating. • Implemented the highly award winning zero emissions incinerator innovation for the first time in Zambia and Most importantly in 2011 I founded the WMF mentorship program for young boys below 20 years, helping them to build their careers in education technology. In addition, I am a trained youth by Afyamzuri -originated from Botswana which deals with the health and wellbeing of the youth. Furthermore, I am a board member of the Friends of the Street Children non-governmental Organization which looks at the welfare of street children. I am currently a qualified member of the global consultant platform Onfrontiers as an expert consultant virtually based in New York, USA. I represent Zambia at different global platforms. I believe the ACMI has organized and self-motivated members and has excellent communication skills which I can only learn from it and not any other program. In addition, the program I believe possesses design thinking abilities and can critically analyze the issues to foresee upcoming problems and has the capability to work out solutions by going beyond the call of duty if required in climate mobility field. I desire the qualities to benefit my community especially to motivate others also to deliver their best. The best quality of inquisitive and owning errors even if it is absolutely negligible, working style and efforts to be learnt will change a lot in the community I am coming from and the marks to be taught will always remain with them even when I move out. I will acquire in-depth knowledge of science and innovation management systems and use that knowledge benefitting the subject, institution, community, and surroundings to say the least. I strongly recommend to admission at ACMI and look forward to seeing myself emerging as a more resourceful delegate at this COP 27 which will add a new dimension to my career and profession. I am one individual who if tomorrow joins forum back as a leader in the community and gladly share my experiences in order to grow the solutions.

Following her passion for leadership and innovation, in 2019 March, she was trained by Emerging Leaders Foundation on Digital Advocacy skills to help her spearhead her advocacy in Climate Action and Bamboo as a sustainable alternative to mitigate climate change. In 2019, she was appointed one of Kenya's Global Goodwill Ambassador due to her humanitarian works and volunteering ventures. In 2020, she became an alumni of the first cohort of Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI- Regional Leadership Center- East Africa) fellowship on Sustainability and Circular Economy due to her river Nyando Bamboo Restoration project, which is called moonlight Initiative. In July 2021, she was hired by TVET -CDAC as a consultant in developing the bamboo curriulumn for the kenyan market to be adopted in all government technical colleges. In August 2021, Wendy Omanga was chosen as one of the bamboo industry experts for The South-South Triangular Cooperation Facility for a Bamboo Study Tour in Ethiopia where she gained insight on bamboo value addition in Ethiopia, which is meant to be implemented back in Kenya. Bamboo Association of Kenya (2022-2025) On January 7th 2022, Wendy Omanga was voted for and appointed as the National Secretary to Bamboo Association of Kenya. FAO Forest Carbon Champion(2022-2023) In March 2022 she was chosen as one of Kenya’s UN FAO Forest Carbon Champions for IMPRESS project in Kenya, in preparing Kenya to be investor read for Carbon trading.

She believes that sustainable Eco tourism has potential to create employment to African youth and the indigenous communities which have uphold their culture As Conservation Meets Tourism.	My motivation for becoming an ACMI Youth Forum Delegate for COP 27 is because of my passion for climate change which started in 2018 back in my village where a woman in distress called out to the government to help her because River Nyando had overflooded and it has swept away her property, her livestock were drowned in the water among other negative aspects of negative effects of climate change in Kisumu county. This motivated me to do a research where we realized that planting bamboo along river nyando will help stop soil erosion and silting thus preventing communities living by the riparian river bank from being misplaced by the floods. My experience in climate mobility has been empowered by our main partner International Bamboo and Rattan Organization together with Kenya Forest Rese4arch institute which has made us trainers of trainers in establishing bamboo nurseries, establishing bamboo plantations, sustainable management of bamboo together with bamboo value addition for the communities living beside the riparian areas.

Climate is something we all experience everytime,if not yearly, monthly or even weekly, and this as made almost everyone in the world wondering. Living in a place where climate change has badly affected has caused so many change of plans and have affected some many lives and property and this has lead to low development and standard of living in those region and have caused increase of population in another region and this can led to excess use of nature which can cause climate change to occur, you see where flood or Earthquake has affected will make some many people abandon there home, work, lifestyle, and school.so being able to understand how to solve out this issues or problem is something I would love to do, and I can remember when my parents my siblings and I was stuck in the car on the road due to flood, it wasn't a good experience because we had to find a way out because it was already covering people cars,I could remember that someone even went missing as the flood as swept off the person,so if something is not done to reduce the amount of this climate effect, they would be more damages in the future.

1069	Takudzwa Ashley	Mlambo	Forestry & Citrus Research (FACIR)	https://www.facir.co.zw	I am an advocate for radical landscape restoration using Precision Forest Technology solutions. By holding a Bachelors of Science Hons Degree in Agriculture at thee University of Zimbabwe in 2019, i have managed to accelerate my ambition in agro-forestry by joining and being a member of the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO), the largest platform for forest scientists across thee globe. Currently, i am the Zimbabwe Representative to the IUFRO International Council and also a member of the African Forest Forum and Youngo. I have managed to lead our youth group, Forestry & Citrus Research (FACIR) win an award at the 2022 Potraz Innovation Challenge in Zimbabwe with The Greater Green Project, an initiative to plant 1 billion trees in Zimbabwe by 2030 using Precision Forest Technology. Separately, i also won an award at the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority Innovation Competition with a different solution of tracking waste in tourism zones. At the moment, we are receiving accelerator support from Impact Hub Harare on The Greater Green Project based on the eligibility of addressing climate issues, funded by the European Union. I am involved in various land restoration initiatives in collaboration with schools, private companies, environmental organizations and the government.	Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) is a platform for young people with common goals on advancing the world systems in a sustainable manner across many relevant industries. It is also a platform where major decisions are made and submitted to relevant institutions such as the United Nations, local governments and institutions so that youth concerns are addressed whilst taking consideration for the participation of young people in decision making processes. As such it is import for me to be part of the panel to share the opportunities and bottlenecks for young people in Zimbabwe and Sub Saharan Africa in the agro-forestry sector and related industries at the same time exploring collaborative opportunities and partnerships with youths from other nations such as on forest innovation (forest-hackathons) which is slowing down the pace of landscape restoration in line with the United Nation 2020-2030 as a decade of landscape restoration. This particular issue need to be well designed, contested and implemented in order for the 1 trillion tree initiative to have a giga impact across the world. I have experience of collaborating and bringing important decisions at regional and international platforms. I am the Zimbabwe Representative to the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) International Council, and a member of the African Forest Forum (AFF/ICRAF). I recently participated in the regional training workshop for Anglophone and Lusophone African Forest Stakeholders in Arusha, Tanzania hosted by the African Forest Forum in December 2021 on Forest and Tree Base Mitigation to Climate Change. In Zimbabwe, i am leading The Greater Green Project, an initiative to plant and monitor 1 billion trees by 2030 using Precision Forest Technology, the first land restoration mega project by an young person in Sub-Saharan Africa. The project has won an award at the 2022 Potraz Innovation Challenge (Hackathon) in Zimbabwe and is part of an acceleration program at Impact Hub in partnership with ENRICH in Africa funded by the European Union; University of Zimbabwe Innovation Hub for mentorship, to mention but a few. I am therefore ready to engage with other youths in Africa at COP27 and collaborate on landscape restoration leveraging on Precision Forest Technology helping governments to meet their 2030 NDCs on Net-Zero and Land degradation reversal ambitions.

In Climate Change phenomenon mobility is a key factor that contribute to the carbon emission that comes from automobiles especially Nigeria. Vehicular pollution has been a major concern, therefore there’s a need for climate solution Action in the area of mobility. These issue has to be in the front burner of African discussion in COP27, this stimulates my motivation. Automobile emission is the top leading causes of fatalities in Nigeria, according to WHO, Lagos, Port Harcourt, Calabar and Abuja experienced nearly 3 million deaths caused by automobile emissions which emits unhealthy fumes into the atmosphere. The rate of vehicular emission around the world is alarming and is on geometric progression while the climate solution action towards it is on arithmetic progression therefore there’s a need to setup action to fight carbon emission that comes from vehicle pollution, the youth will have to campion this action. These underlines my motivation for applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum Delegate For COP27.

During my undergraduate studies, we learnt about the various threats that organisms have faced in the past which lead to their extinction and their adaptation and possible chances of their survival. Most of the environmental issues are as a result of our action and we must find sustainable solutions in energy, agriculture and other sectors to mitigate the impact of these harsh conditions We are being faced with floods due to climate change, water pollution and destruction of forest and green spaces due to illegal mining without thinking about future threats this may cause. Our inability to enforce our laws and policies, and our greed affects us as a people and this has got me thinking of how we the younger generation can change this system we find ourselves in.

Adrian is passionate about youth economic empowerment, dignity in work for women, food and nutrition security, gender equality. Adrian is at the center of involving more youth in smart farming. Adrian has developed an IT innovation that creates a virtual market and has a smart farming tool. The innovation increases farmer productivity and efficiency of the fish value chain. This innovation is improving the livelihoods of the fisherfolk community where Adrian hails from. The community benefits from increased fish supply which boosts food and nutrition security, offers business and employment opportunities, which economically empowers them, and the youth are interested to farm due to digitization. Post-harvest losses are reduced greatly due to improved farmer access to market.Women traders have dignity in the work they do and will not rely on predator fishermen for their supply.	Farming in Africa is essential for food supply on the continent. The resource rich continent is limited in food production due to low productivity occasioned by rudimentary farming that does not factor in climate change and data. I believe that with a mindset change and focus on smart farming, Africa will be able to provide enough food for her people and feed the world! I look forward to networking and exploring new and innovative ways of improving the efficiency of food production in sustainable ways. What better way than to talk to people who are thinking like you and in some cases who have succeeded? I am also looking to fundraise for my project. I work with smallholder farmers, women traders, the most vulnerable players in the fish value chain. If we can scale this through partnership, we will revolutionise the way the food system works in Kenya!

But, are we going to sit back and wait for that to happen? my answer is no. we must all contribute a stone to the building to fight against this imminent danger. let's mobilize young people much more by calling on them to take seriously the threats and dangers that are already knocking on our doors and caused by climate change. let's sensitize societies to invest in reforestation, let's plant trees, let's protect large forests which constitute the lungs of humanity and major assets in climate stability, I quote the equatorial forest in central africa (DRC), the amazon in america (Brazil)...let's protect the waters, in particular the oceans, lakes and seas, by fighting against their pollution. let's limit the exploitation of oil fossils, especially in the most protected areas of the globe for the good of all humanity..., without forgetting also greenhouse gases. We are aware that without sustained and energetic work, it is almost impossible to face these global challenges, reason why we must all get started. change starts now and by me must be the phrase that characterizes anyone who would like to see this campaign succeed...

He is currently enrolled in the University of Benin, where he is studying Environmental Microbiology, with a focus on recovering human hair waste and extracting supplements for use in mushroom production,insect rearing and food production. He also graduated from University of Benin, Department of Biochemistry with a 2.1(Second class upper). His passion for sustainable development took him into Environmental Microbiology. He has the ability to manipulate light and create stunning photographs from the most basic situations. His skillset saw him obtain an invitation to capture images at the ground breaking ceremony of the Dr. Uwaifo Musical production centre, for the Edo State Government in 2021. As an innovator, Stephen created the RODOME, a simple light modifier for Photographers in 2021, from empty PRINGLES containers. He has gone on to sell the RODOMES as well as pitch his idea in several capacities, making it to the finals of the Lagos Circular Challenge 2022. He is also currently working on solutions to reuse the paper waste generated from the Nigerian Brewries, affecting their Corporate Social Responsibility positively. His ideas have him tackling SDG goals 9, 11 & 15. He has been nominated and won several awards, including the Shell SPDC JV undergraduate scholarship 2015 and the MTN FOUNDATION UNDERGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP 2015, at the University of Benin, Benin City, Nigeria. He also participated in the amplify fellowship in late 2021.	1. I live in Benin City, Nigeria. Due to increased rainfall, certain areas are experiencing flooding. The rains cause the rivers to burst their banks and this leads to flooding in and around the city. Furthermore, the accumulation of waste is threatening the fragile ecosystem by polluting water bodies as well as land. Through my iniative, we are removing and recycling empty PRINGLES containers and bad LED BULBS, to create light modifiers for photographers. We realise we can create something useful out of waste. Across the northern states in Nigeria, intense flooding is also removing people from their lands and causing them to be displaced. This is contributing to the crisis in the northeastern area of Nigeria. I hope to discuss more about the pollution problems and the displacement pressure that comes with people leaving their homes and villages behind.

I'd provide commentary on every mundane thing around me. When I didn't have an audience - rather when I had talked my family and friends' ears off - I discovered writing. This allowed me to fully explore and form thoughts, a passion I have carried into adulthood. I studied financial engineering as my undergraduate and even worked as a banker and management consultant. However, I found my way back to words, am pursuing a master's in communications, and have had the opportunity to tell compelling stories for some amazing donor-funded projects. I have also been involved in writing for climate-centric forums such as the Climate Story Lab Africa 2021. I have had the privilege of working in counties in the Northern frontier of Kenya. I have seen firsthand how aid (though welcome and necessary for the preservation of life), may not always contribute to sustainability and self-sufficiency. Communities in the north have lived experiences of climate change and its effects. Their resource and skill-based challenges, and legislative affect their adaptive and mitigative responses. I would like to be at the fore front of communication that drives climate responsive change at the ward, county, and national level - by telling compelling stories that spur change.	I have had first-hand experiences with climate shocks in my line of work and in my community. I am from Machakos County, and though fairly semi-arid, in the past 10 years or so, unpredictable climate situations with failed rainy seasons, shorter rains, and food safety challenges. In counties in northern Kenya (where I have worked for most of my employment life), the current drought as a result of climate change has put around 4 million persons and over 1.5 million livestock in danger of starvation and death. With four failed rain seasons, pastoralism is becoming untenable as a means of livelihood, yet many are unable to migrate physically and economically to new areas and new economic streams due to a variety of reasons. My motivation for applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum Delegate is, from a communicator perspective, there is a need to tell the human impact stories of climate change and its effects on communities and livelihoods. In remote parts of countries in the Global South, the effects of climate change on the most vulnerable are hardly told with a focus on the wellbeing of communities but have become part of a cyclic "what's happening in Africa" narrative. Attending COP 27 will help me effectively tell stories about climate change, adaptation, and mitigation within the communities I work. This will pave the way for more realistic interventions for the communities, donor organisations, and the government that are better suited to meeting the livelihood and nutritional needs of communities most affected by climate change. It will also help to understand climate risks and provide mitigation measures.

I graduated from Ahmadu Bello University Zaria with a Bachelor's degree in Human Anatomy. With a year experience as an Academic and Research assistant in Anatomy and Physiology. I have worked as in Tutor in EKSUTH School of Nursing Ado Ekiti to transfer knowledge to young student nurses. I used my ability to communicate knowledge which assisted in massive success during their Nursing Council examinations. I also have skill in Microsoft Word, Ms Excel and Excel. I also speak English and Hausa languages respectively.	Development cooperation actors have been addressing climate change as a cross-cutting issue. More recently, concern has risen about the potential impacts of climate mobility. As a Health Enthusiast becoming an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 will help me in contributing to how climate mobility can be solved. My interaction with student nurses about their clinical posting to places with adverse climate has added to my knowledge about climate mobility and its effects on people in rural areas. These people are the most vulnerable and have the greatest burden to bear.

1088	Mona	Ibrahim	Accelerate Hub, Oxford University	https://www.spi.ox.ac.uk/	Dr Mona Ibrahim is Sudanese first, and a health researcher second - working with the University of Oxford on evidence-based policies and practice in sub-Saharan Africa, especially leading research in Sudan. She also holds a masters degree in International Health and Tropical Medicine from Oxford. Mona has contributed to more than ten high-level policy briefs over the last two years, focusing on adolescent wellbeing, especially in the face of conflicts and climate disasters. She has been a campaigner for the rights of adolescents, and led/ supported multi-site campaigns in Sudan since 2010. Mona is now also technical advisor to major international initiatives including the WHO PMNCH, UNDP HIV and Health team, and the WFP Regional Bureau in Southern Africa. Personal quote: I believe movements are the source of all human right achievements; if butterflies can make hurricanes, we can certainly work together to save our climate and our livelihoods.	This COP27 will likely feature a lot on energy supply chains and fossil fuel dependency, with particular emphasis on trade in the light of Russian energy developments. However, the Global South must not be forgotten in the climate movement. Drought across Southern Africa, floods in Pakistan, food insecurity across Africa, and life-threatening energy cuts in Sri Lanka, Venezuela, and Sudan– for many of these unheard voices, climate change is not just about quality of life, it is the difference between life and death. As a national of a central African country drowning in desertification, I really hope to voice my concerns on how young lives and their futures have derailed – climate change is not just an environmental issue, it’s a human rights issue! Last year, I presented at a WHO online side event parallel to the COP26, defending that youth are not just advocates for climate reform, but among the most vulnerable to its impacts - including climate-driven conflict, violence, unemployment, family loss, and hunger. This year, I would really like to be at the forefront of this change - to be not just an advocate on a side event, but a participant in the table. Climate change and wellbeing are not separate issues, especially for young people in developing countries – for some people the climate crisis can mean as little as poor air quality, but for others around the world it means more school dropout, child marriage, poverty and hunger. I hope you resonate with the message that myself and many other advocates are trying to push forward, and I hope to get the chance to do just that.
1089	Jeanne Reine	MOUMENI	Cameroon Youth Green Initiative		My name is MOUMENI Jeanne Reine from West Cameroon, student in master 2 at CRESA forest-wood of nkolbisson (Yaoundé - Cameroon). My passion for the environment comes from my training in agriculture which allowed me to ask questions about soil management and especially the delay in the rains which cause the drop in production. Thus, I focused on the environmental and social assessments of development projects that are sources of nature degradation.	My climate experience is centered on the proposal of measures and the follow-up of these measures once the projects have been set up. We suggest reforestation, reforestation, promoting organic farming and limiting chemicals. These measures, although centered in the locality, contribute to the stability of the climate and the preservation of the ozone layer.

He is the member of YOUNGO,the youth constituency to UNFCCC,Migration Tech Lab,UN Major Group for Children and Youth and Ghana Youth Environmental Movement.	I am currently pursuing masters in Migration Studies focusing on climate induced migration in the Bono East ,a Farming community in rural Ghana. Climate displacement is becoming the order of the day in the African continent,with the rise of climate migrants and refugees necessary because of the exacerbated impacts of climate change.It is widely known that,Africa is the least polluter of the environment and it is the greatest continent largely affected by the ramifications posed by climate change, this includes flooding,famine,drought and water scarcity and this has resulted in the recent rise of climate migrants,a new terminology and a burgeoning field which will become the biggest issue in the next decade to come.And with less than eight years to achieve the sustainable development goals target.It is imperative we have to step up and make a call to action at the COP that has come into the African soil to increase awareness about climate displacement and mobility and the need to focus our mindset in this area that can cause a global crisis in the near future.In my research community,most of the farmers are now migrating south of the country to escape the harsh weather conditions and seek protection where it is most adaptable.I will be representing Push Sweden at the COP27 and will be glad to speak at any of ACMI side events on climate migration and displacement.

1095	Prince Kwesi	Bonney	Curious Minds Ghana	cmghana.org	Prince Kwesi Bonney is a youth advocate with extensive experience in issues related to SRHR, SDGs, W.A.S.H, youth engagement, Climate Change, and women empowerment advocacy. He is currently studying BSc. Accounting at the University of Professional Studies Accra. He is a member of the Healthy Environment Advocate team, the inaugural winners of the UNICEF West and Central Africa sanitation hackathon to end open defecation in my locality, hence a United Nations recognized youth innovator. Prince is a volunteer with the Children and Youth in Broadcasting - Curious Minds as a radio production assistant and a project assistant. He has been in the organization for five years now. He has been part of sensitization programs on the proper development of young people on different advocacy platforms including social media, radio, television, and in the community. As a member of Curious minds' social media team, He created a social media campaign on Climate change and it's impact on Sexual Reproductive Health and right, gender equality and agriculture (https://www.linkedin.com/posts/cmghana_climateaction-genderequality-agriculture-activity-6944659298111131648-oCka?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios) . He also volunteers with the Ghana SRHR Alliance for young people. He has skills in public speaking and developmental poetry performance. He made a presentation on the need for effective meaningful youth participation in Africa, in order to realize the demographic dividend and achieve the SDGs, at the 4th African Youth SDG summit in Adis Ababa, Ethiopia. He was part of a select team that worked on the amendment of the Children’s act 560, the Juvenile Justice act, and the Criminal Code in 2019. Prince believes that young people are drivers of positive change. As such, he believes in adding his voice to creating a society of change that supports the development of young people. His hobbies include music, arts, movies, and football.	At the age of 14, I became an advocate, which made me realize how much I contributed to the problems in my neighborhood and sparked my interest in environmental issues. As a radio producer, I created "Our Environment," a weekly radio segment dedicated to environmental and climate awareness. During this segment, I educated listeners on environmental challenges and the role that young people may play in reaching the Millennium Development Goals, which have now been replaced with the Sustainable Development Goals. I also enlisted the help of some key environmental experts to educate listeners on how to protect and save the environment, as well as the importance of taking swift action to address climate change issues. In November 2021, I was named the winner of the inaugural UNICEF West and Central Africa Regional Sanitation Hackathon on eradicating open defecation, together with five other young people. As one of the most effective platforms for bringing to light some of the environmental challenges that my community and others experience, including open defecation, in order to obtain support for developing and co-creating solutions to these problems. My team won the challenge thanks to our ground-breaking solution to the country's problem, and as a result, we were invited to the 9th World Water Forum in Dakar, Senegal. We launched a new environmental advocacy movement, Waste2Wealth, with other colleagues, to bring together other young people with similar interests to raise awareness about clean environments and to educate people about the importance of being mindful of their relationship with the environment. We have engaged four communities on climate change and the need to safeguard the environment as part of my advocacy efforts. In the Greater Accra region of Ghana, we've also developed two school clubs that participate in neighborhood outreaches and clean-ups on a regular basis. We reached over 1000 individuals in Ghana's Northern Region with environmental safety information, and we worked with a village, Gunayili, to eradicate water contamination and enhance the long-term prognosis for water quality. A community that has previously been unable to obtain safe and drinkable water. (https://youtu.be/b7iSJnJld1U) Due to experience gained with the long-term goal of becoming an environmental safety expert, becoming an ACMI youth forum delegate for COP 27, will provide me with the opportunity to share best practices, lessons, and experience in environmental safety as well as learn from the Youth environmental advocate. It will also afford me the opportunity to network with other youth activists to better create solutions to affect global challenges as we aim towards achieving SDG13 and Foster partnerships. The COP 27 therefore will be an opportunity to gain firsthand experience in working with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to understand the assembly’s work, its intervention in Ghana and around the world, and how young people can lead innovations as part of its solutions.

1097	Esraa	Elkhawaga	Alexandria University	https://sci.alexu.edu.eg/index.php/ar/	I am 22, almost all along my 22 years I have always been the most curious person alive. I want to know everything and learn everything. My curiosity paved my way towards the faculty of science and specifically one of the most interesting departments "Biotechnology". I love my department and I have great plans for the future as I want to apply all what I learn in making life easier for people struggling with problems and fortunately enough, United Nations have made these problems crystal clear with the SDGs. I am working nowadays on more than one project related to the human health and wellbeing, the projects are scientific, we are preparing a book chapter and doing research that hopefully will be published in a top-tier scientific magazine. I also like doing voluntary work as translating TED videos so that anyone with limited knowledge of English can benefit from the shared knowledge, also simplifying and communicating science which makes me feel alive. I have simplified science for children and adults with no scientific background, the look I see in their eyes after learning something new really worth the preparation. I spent some community service in poor areas in Alexandria as Abbys, I was mainly dealing with the children there, explaining to them many topics that can help them, and they may have never came across as they are in a mostly uneducated area. As I love my field, I want to be perfect in it thus I am trying to take every training that comes in front of me and every course I come across. However, I didn’t also want to neglect my personal life, my family, and the people I love so I try to engage them as much as possible in everything I do, I always explain to them what I learn and what I see might be a problem in the future and what solutions I think might help if taken in consideration. What really made my life is that my best friend studies with me in the same department and have equal passion for it, so we are inseparable which makes training, studying, and courses even more fun. I took many courses related to soft skills to complete my science knowledge with human core knowledge which I find so helpful in dealing with people around me in college and trainings and will be helpful when I enter the work world.	Attending the Cooperation Of Parties 27 as an ACMI Youth Forum delegate is such a great opportunity for everyone, being part of decision making at such a young age will help me reach my top potentials afterwards and will also allow me to influence many others around me to be active and have a role in their society. The future is for youth so allowing these youth to be a part of important conferences will indeed give an insight about how our future is going to look like. What makes me even more excited is that the conference is being held in Egypt so my transportation wont be that big of a deal. During my study for biotechnological methods and techniques for the last three years, I have come across many great solutions for climate change and thought about many others. Everyone should be aware that every step we take affects the climate either directly or indirectly and the nature does seem tolerant but it never forgets our negative deeds and will eventually come back at us so the world had to come up with strategy to follow. All the seventeen SDGs are somehow related to climate change and despite that fact that Africa does not participate that much in greenhouse gas emissions but sadly it is affected greatly with the impact on climate change causing people to immigrate, leave their homes and houses, looking forward to being in a place with less violent nature and more stable environment where they can resume their lives. I think my background about climate change and how to act in order to slow it down will help me in this role. Knowing that I can help with my ideas makes me so eager to be accepted for this task that I look forward to doing as described and needed.

I went to Bako Zuntu Nursery and primary which I graduated in 2005. I then went to Government Secondary School Likoro, Zaria which I also graduated and have my West African Examination Certificate in 2011. I then proceeded to Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Kaduna State and obtain a Bachelor degree in Water Resources and Environmental Engineering in 2016. After serving a mandatory National Youth Service between May 2017 to April 2018 in Lagos State, I got a permanent appointment as a Hydrologist with the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency which is a parastatal of the Federal Ministry of Water Resources Nigeria. The core mandate of my Agency is flood prediction and mitigation across the country. Also the Agency is saddle with the responsibility of monitoring surface and groundwater both in quantity and quality in time and free space. Currently, I am the Zonal Coordinator of Hydrological Area I of the Agency which comprises the Sokoto State, Kebbi State, Zamfara State and a parts of Katsina and Niger State.	As a Water and Environmental Engeer/Hydrologist working in an Agency that is saddled with the responsibility of Flood prediction and mitigation, Surface and Groundwater quality and quantity Monitoring as well as drought forecast amongst others, Climate change plays a very vital and significant role in the course of my duty/profession . It's very important and necessary to me to have a very good knowledge of climate change, this will help tremendously in planning all Hydrological activities in my course of duty. I felt it is very necessary for me to participate in any conference(s), seminars or workshops that has to do with climate change so as to bridge the gap in my understanding of appropriate method(s) of designing and coming up with a very accurate and sound flood prediction that will help mitigate the impact of flood or drought to my country. If given the opportunity to attend COP27 in Egypt, I am very certain that I will gain a lot of knowledge and experience about the inpact of climate change in my country and that will also help me to come up with new techniques in terms of using appropriate softwares and data collection in the design of our Annual flood prediction outlook in the future. I hope you will consider my critical role in the aspect of disaster management and mitigation which is a subject to climate change and grant me this opportunity to be part of COP27 in Egypt. Thank you.

1108	SIDIBE	Kola Sekou	UN Migration Agency (IOM)	https://mali.iom.int/en	My name is KOLA SEKOU SIDIBE, a 27 years old change-maker and youth rights activist from Mali. I’m currently working as a consultant for the UN Migration Agency in Mali (IOM). With this job, I assisted hundreds of migrants who were victims of human trafficking, forced labor and other forms of exploitation. I hold two masters degree in Law and Public Administration. I successfully completed my last degree as the top of my class in June of this year, at the University of International Business and Economics of Beijing, China.	Africa is home to some of the world's most challenged communities, where families face chronic food shortages, environmental degradation, a harsh climate that causes droughts and floods, and high unemployment for youth. While the picture is bleak, the fate of communities is by no means set in stone in the sense that there is still room for action. It is with this conviction that I hereby express my interest to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27. With more than seven years of experience advocating for youth rights, I am persuaded that l am an outstanding candidate to attend this forum. Very active and versatile, I have also had the opportunity to familiarize myself with an international working environment as a Consultant for the malian mission of IOM. With this job, I assisted hundreds of migrants who were victims of human trafficking, forced labor and other forms of exploitation. This enriching and exciting experience allowed me to work harmoniously with colleagues from different cultures and professional backgrounds. In sum, attending this forum will be a rewarding experience and I am looking forward to help mitigating the negative impact of climate on mobility and to promote a safer and orderly migration for the benefit of all through the knowledge acquired during the forum. Thank you for your time and consideration.
1109	Mamadou Oury	Diallo	SHEBA PLASTIC		Young self-starter and leader with a passion for Wildlife Conservation, Natural Resource Management and Sustainable Financing. With a thriving community life exists at several schools and environmental organisations. I am currently working toward a second degree in Global Challenges for a specialisation in Wildlife Conservation. I identify as an introvert, an entrepreneur, and a creative person. I founded SHEBA PLASTIC, a circularly designed solution that aims to reduce plastic pollution in Africa and co-founded The Talking Podcast, a platform that aims to connect entrepreneurs to entrepreneurs by bringing on entrepreneurs to share their successful stories. After my undergrad, my aim is to go for graduate school for a MSc in Circular Economy or Sustainability.	Being a part of COPs as a young conservationist is everyone's goal who works in the environmental and climate change fields. I am inspired and thrilled by the prospect of participating in COP27, which will give me the opportunity to learn, interact, network, and raise awareness about the serious issues the world is currently struggling to deal with, particularly the effects of CLIMATE CHANGE on vulnerable communities (childrens). The climate crisis has sparked a crisis of mobility around the world, in 2019 alone, some 23.9 million people were involuntarily displaced by weather-related disasters, which is alarming and heart breaking. We are all affected, no matter who you are, or where you live, climate change will impact upon your life. But those with the greatest vulnerabilities are likely to bear the greatest burden, and the most vulnerable are the world’s children. I will be delighted to represent Guinea under ACMI as a delegate , in order to have a voice to raise for those who are affected by climate change. I am motivated with the fact that I can contribute to support these communities that are paying for something they didn't cause, by sharing my thought, and raising a voice. Last year I worked on a data collection project with an organisation about the climate crisis in Somalia, the project was community based specifically herders and was funded by UNICEF. The project was focusing on the effects that the climate crisis has on the lives of herders in Somalia. After four months of data collection, we realized that the herders' lives are intertwined with the lives of their livestock, so if these animals don't have access to food and water, their communities will either go extinct or be forced to move away from their villages in search of more climate-adaptable environments. This has been caused by the rise in temperature.

I think that the opportunity to attend COP 27 is one of the most important opportunities that young people can attend this year, because this conference could be the most important conference this year because it discusses the most serious problem facing the whole world, which is climate change and climate mobility. I believe that the climate problem is not the responsibility of one country or limited countries, but it is the responsibility of the whole world, because what a country does in neglecting the problem of climate change and climate justice not only affects this country, but affects the whole world negatively, and this can lead to dire problems. We are in Ghana Therefore, COP27 is one of the most important conferences that occur every year.

Since graduation, I have worked for the county government for a period of one year under internship and afterwards, I continued to work for the same county government on volunteer basis to date.	My motivation number one is how youth are coming up as environmental activists in order to safeguard our environment. You will find that in Kenya, majority of the inhabitants have neglected matters environment and some of them do the contrary for their own personal gains forgetting that in the long term, the effects will make Kenya inhabitable. Liz Wathuti is a Kenyan youth activist whom I have followed closely and has boldly defended facts regarding environment at international level. We need more youth to spearhead the same and that's why I want to use the platform to join hands together with other youth do that we can liberate our environment and by doing so our climate will be conducive for human habitation.

I hail from the middle belt zone of Nigeria, specifically BENUE STATE. I am from a humble family of 7 (seven) siblings and a parent who are disciplinarians and who believe I can only be valuable to myself,my family and the community only if I learn to be disciplined and be ready to learn. I grew up in a society were parents do not have much concern about the moral upbringing of their children and for this reason and more, moral decadence is of the high side to the point that even the climate is been affected because of the community lack of knowledge on the effect of bush burning and it's like on the climate. Through time, I have grew in knowledge through giving myself to study and learning about the climate and I have developed great interest in the subject and I intend to do more in other to acquire more knowledge which I intend to implore during the next climate sensitization which I am planning towards already.

I attended both primary and secondary schools in Nguru town. I had National Diplomas in Estate Management and in Computer Science from Federal Polytechnics in Damaturu, Yobe state. I hold a Bachelor's of Science in Environmental Management & Toxicology from Federal University Dutse, Jigawa state. Currently, I am into the activities of wetland ecosystems conservation and climate action, scientific research and storytelling on socio-ecological issues affecting my immediate community, in addition to creating green job opportunities to our local farmers through converting agricultural wastes to green charcoal briquettes to address socioeconomic and environmental challenges for sustainable development - this is an innovation attempting to provide alternative to firewood-based charcoal in order to tackle and eliminate deforestation, which substantially degraded our natural environment, and causing desertification at our own expense. In September, 2021, I was award recipient of essay writing competition on the category of Improving Agriculture in Yobe state by the Yobe State Scholarships Board with a cash prize. Equally, in November, 2021, I was declared winner of global storytelling campaign on Vulnerability, Loss & Resilience Within the Climate-Biodiversity Nexus - Biodiversity Hotspot Category by Youth4Nature Organisation in Canada with a cash prize.	My motivation to apply and join the African Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Delegate Forum is borne out of a burning desire to represent my underrepresented sahelian community where the risks and shocks of climate change impacts are serious, and speak on their behalf on matters related to climate change and environmental problems affecting us as people, causing rural-urban migrations by the aboriginal communities. I found it as an opportunity to travel as representative of my community to where world leaders, policy and decision makers, global climate and environmental actors, influencers and youth pressure groups will gather and listen to our climate change experiences and environmental challenges which has been the bottlenecks to achieving some of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Nigeria's sahel region. I am happy that today my dream is becoming true by the ACMI opportunity to be one of its youth delegates at the forthcoming COP27 in Egypt, where I will be sharing and learning, facilitating and networking as well as influencing for the benefits of my community, my country, humanity and my career development. As young Environmental Scientist, I am currently working on wetland ecosystems conservation, climate change, desert and drought control, waste management and nature-based innovative solutions, addressing socio-environmental issues for sustainable development within my immediate community. I am greatly into advocacy and storytelling campaign for nature, climate and biodiversity nexus. I am currently on a project of producing green charcoal briquettes from agricultural wastes in which I am attempting to provide alternative to firewood-based charcoal so as to eliminate deforestation which sadly, increase the rate at which environmental degradation, desertification and lots more are taking place at our own expense. It is on this premise, we are empowering and building capacity and resilience for our communities to adapt the climate and overcome the challenges. I am deeply optimistic that ACMI will set me on such platform to Egypt as one of its dependable resource delegates of the youth forum. It is hoped that you will be inspired by my motivation and experience. I can't wait to be there!

I am currently working as a Senior Investment and Renewable Energy Advisor at the British Embassy Addis Ababa. I also have several other engagements at the European Union - Youth Sounding Board as a lead of Climate change and Green deal advisor and an art project called 'Tibeb be Adebabat' under Goethe-Institut( German Cultural Institute) that work on advocating socio-economicchallenges such as climate change and their solution - sustainability for the past 5/6 years. I have MA in African Studies; majoring in Human, Economic and Environmental Development in Africa. I consider my self as advocator on the solutions of climate change and I engage with several International and local organisations to come up with substantial solutions at the grass root level. My goals and aspiration is to use my expertise and inspire the youth to take ownership and action against climate change and to lead the action from the national side. Just to mention some of my achievements, In my role at the British Embassy Addis Ababa I led, developed and coordinated the delivery of the Embassy’s Investment and public diplomacy strategy and programmes; climate change (mainly COP 26 local engagements), tech incubation called Warka that supported 10 Green tech climate solutions with seed money, gender quality, girls education and preventing GBV. In my role as a project manager, I have also led the project " Tibeb be Adebabay" on Climate change and sustainability advocacy project that got over 600,000 audiences and made an engagement with 14 local, governmental and International organisations. This is a brief introduction I can provide now and looking forward to give more details in the interview process.	We are now seeing the impacts of climate change in the world. In my country extreme weather and drought is affecting all our lives. Even though Africa has contributed less to the problem we are the one being affected the most. Climate change is widely expected to produce new and/or intensified mobility patterns, including migration and displacement. This year alone, Climate change caused migration and displacement in Arsi, Somali, Afar, and Amhara regions in Ethiopia. That why I strongly believe and advocate that we need accelerated action and always advocating for an action in the grass root level. The reason I am applying for this opportunity is; In my country, where 70% of the population is between the age of 14 - 35, being selected as for the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum - COP27 Delegate doesn't mean that I will represent my organisation or the initiatives I work for but I will be representing 70% of the population that would experience the impacts of climate change in the future. As a young professional, I have a great deal of interest in contributing to the climate strategies and policy programme by providing substantive leadership, technical support and relationship management, communication expertise, resource mobilisation, programme design, formulation, implementation, and evaluation and also ability work in collaboration with various departments and international agencies to ensure the success of the programmes and projects. I have led an annual climate friendly tech incubation programme called Warka; that supported 10 best with technical, Leadership, business structuring programme for the youth to empower them economically while at the same time contributing to the green legacy initiative in Ethiopia. I have led on an art project for the past 5 years that advocates on climate change, mobility and migration to the public, international organisation and government which brought various changes on the policy side. This project also successfully convinced the government in youth inclusion on policy formulation. In my role at the British Embassy; I am constantly engaging and lobbying the Ethiopian government to achieve the national electrification plan with renewables energy. I am also engaging with UK renewable power producers to invest in Ethiopia. I have and will continue to contribute my part in the policy and advocacy side by developing, and working to transition my country and let alone Africa into greener economy. I am therefore ready to engage with other youths in Africa at COP27 and collaborate on policy advocacy helping governments to meet their 2030 NDCs on Net-Zero and CRGE plan of Ethiopia.

Justine has participated in community engagement and legal governance practices within the renewable energy, environmental and climate justice sector.	South Africa's electricity infrastructure is currently experiencing a crisis. The structural shortage of electricity supply remains one of the country’s most critical challenges. Legacy infrastructure is aging and needs to be replaced. The country’s power generation is still dominated by coal, and it’s lagging far behind the global trend towards clean energy. Our track record of building new generation capacity since the crisis began in 2007 has not been good. South Africa’s two most recent power stations, Medupi and Kusile, are both severely over budget and behind schedule. If this pattern continues the country’s electricity reserve margin will remain under pressure. As a practicing Attorney, I have compelled significant efforts to strengthen compliance with various energy policies and procedures – including assessing and researching the legal and policy aspects of the recently implemented energy action plan. The majority of my professional career within the energy sector has been in South Africa, implementing research within the relevant branches of law and making recommendations to relevant stakeholders for the development, improvement, modernization and reform of the current energy crisis in an effort to improve accountability and performance in the delivery of basic services. I would like to use this opportunity to contribute my experience and skills and to deepen my own understanding of governance and operations within the energy sector. I am also excited at the prospect of joining the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative community in the challenging context of ongoing energy reforms and understanding the involvement of the Global Center for Climate Mobility ]in delivering a just and equitable global energy transition.

1124	Arthur Didan	Musinguzi	Social Media Influencer and Capital FM	https://capitalradio.co.ug/authors/httpscapitalradiocougbusiness/	I am a prominent social media influencer based in Uganda with interest in reporting about energy, climate change, environment & mineral development. I have covered the story of Karamoja especially acute malnutrition among children together with UNICEF due to the long drought killing thousands. I was able to make our Government allocate UGX 130bn towards alleviating hunger. UNICEF also received a generous contribution of US$11M from @FCDOGovUK. :US$2M through @UNICEFUganda & US$9M through @WFP towards life-saving nutrition, food assistance & protection to refugees, especially vulnerable children & women in Karamoja due to the story I covered together with other local and international journalists.	I will be very influential in following up on how what was agreed at COP has been implemented on ground since I am a Digital Media person always covering such stories. I have also been tasked to collect workable solutions that can be used to alleviate hunger in the Karamoja region. These solutions I can share with the Office of the Prime Minister and Ministry of Disaster to ensure that more people don’t lose their lives due to negative effects of climate change.

1128	Abdul Gafaru Dasana	Amin	Ministry of Finance, Ghana	https://mofep.gov.gh/	Abdul Gafaru Dasana Amin is a social entrepreneur and an analyst in the Office of the Minister of State at Ghana’s Ministry of Finance where he researches, formulates and/or analyzes policy issues on various sectors of the Ghanaian and African economy. He has assessed the risks of climate mobility on Ghana’s informal sector and analyzed Ghana’s exposure to global risks in areas of climate change, health, and energy as a member of the Fiscal Risk subcommittee of the Economic Policy Coordinating Committee. Aside his role at the Finance Ministry, Abdul is passionate and dedicated to the ongoing efforts toward economic empowerment, social justice, and environmental protection. He believes, “Investing in economic empowerment, especially among women, sets a direct path towards poverty eradication, gender equality, and an inclusive economic growth.” He is a co-founder a social enterprise called SheaMe. SheaMe focuses on securing sustainable livelihoods for rural women by integrating them into a sustainable and climate resilient shea supply chain. They are trained in producing high-quality butter that increases their sales revenue by 52% compared to the traditional processes and funds young women in processing the butter into hair creams and soaps. They also uses the residue from the butter production in the manufacture of soles of shoes to avert its adverse effects on agricultural lands. He also works with the United Nations International Telecommunication Union as a Generation Connect Africa Youth Envoy where he, together with other youth envoys across Africa and other five global regions formulate youth-centered technological policies and represents African Youth at High-Level Discussions. Abdul, for his numerous contributions toward rural development, is a recipient of the Regional Universities Forum for Capacity Building in Agriculture 2021 Young Innovators Award, the Kofi Annan Changemakers 2021 Award, the Ford Motor Company 2020 Community Impact Fellowship Award, and the 2019 UNICEF Generation Unlimited Youth Awards.	Working directly under the Minister of Finance Technical Advisor responsible for Climate Change and Sustainability as an analyst, I am most often tasked to develop and review national and global policies on climate change with a major emphasis on Ghana’s climate financing needs, climate change and social mobility, and climate resilience and adaptation measures. This has often led me to benchmark the impacts and mitigating policies of different countries across the world. Our research on climate change and social mobility is directly tied to the Kayayei ( a Ghanaian term for female head porters or bearers who mostly migrates from Ghana’s Northern parts) and immigrants from Niger, Mali, Chad (West Africa’s most climate vulnerable countries that are already facing preexisting challenges). Thus, I have assisted in reviewing Ghana’s Nationally Determined Contributions and contributed to policies that are aimed at mitigating the climate change risks that force the migration of the Kayayei to Ghana’s capital and bigger cities. I am acquainted with the extent to which social mobility can be influenced by climate change and contribute to the macroeconomic instability of an economy. Hence, my participation in the COP27 as an African Climate Mobility Initiative Youth Delegate promises to provide an avenue for me to collate ideas, strides, and answers to questions we have asked ourselves on how to best mitigate climate mobility within and beyond the boundaries of Ghana. I also hope to share my experiences in dealing with forced movements that have been influenced by climate change and its effects. The above notwithstanding, I have also as an International Telecommunication Union Generation Connect Africa Youth envoy advocated and contributed to policies at both the World Telecommunication Development Conference in Kigali and the ITU Plenipotentiary in Bucharest for green technologies and the use of climate smart technologies to tackle climate adaptation and resilience. Hence, I hope that the foregoing description of my experience and motivation will enable me to be highly considered and selected as an ACMI Youth Delegate for the COP27, as I bring a diverse set of perspectives in national governance and international policy to the discussions.

1134	Chimwemwe	Simpito	WamoRadio/ Mpulungu Youth Vision Centre ( Activista Zambia)	https://zambia.actionaid.org	Chimwemwe Simpito is a self driven male Climate Change Champion and motivated young man with strong passion in combating climate change and its impact. He is a Diploma holder in Journalism and Public Relations obtained at the Zambia Institute of mass Communication (ZAMCOM) with wider experience in reporting dynamics and also including climate change resilience and adaptation. Chimwemwe is part of young people working government through the Ministry of Green Economy and Environment on the development of a strategy and implementation plan of a Green Economy in Lusaka. He has obtained certificates in Cooperate Governance, Social Protection Reporting, agro-ecology and food sovereignty, women led emergency preparedness, climate change resilience and adaptation among other basic trainings with support from Action Aid Zambia and the Swedish International Development agency SIDA. He is part of the team that advocated for the Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights SRHR under the Comic Relief Queen Elizabeth Queens young leaders’ fire starter initiative QYLFSI in 2019 and 2020. He has effectively participated in international events such as the International Union of Conservation of nature IUCN in Tanzania on sustainable land use planning. He has raised community awareness on crop diversification and biodiversity as part of the Global Environmental Facility GEF with funding from the United Nations Development plan UNDP. This has led to the paradigm shift from dependency on the lake for sustainable livelihood. He has also attended the youth consultative meeting for the migration of refugees as part of the delegation team in Kampala, Uganda 2019 as an initiative of the African Governance Architecture AGA with support from the European Union. This widely reflected on both the political and humanitarian solutions towards the plight of refugees. Mpulungu being a porous border with an influx of refugees, he has interacted with a number of asylum seekers from war struck areas, the Democratic Republic of Congo DRC and Burundi on climate changeability and how they adapt to new environments. This also borders on the refugee defects or flaws that affect their relocation. On a broader perspective, he has sensitized refugees especially children and women on their Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights and where they can access these services. He has also reported on harmful practices among children especially refugees as part of the delegation team in Kenya recently. Chimwemwe Simpito has also advocated and sensitized masses along the Lake basin on the FISH4ACP Kapenta value chain, owing to the existing fact that due to unpredictable weather patterns causing droughts in some areas, there has been intense pressure on Lake Tanganyika leading to fish depletion on some parts. He is part of the team that contributed to the formulation of the National Youth Policy Zambia NYP also with a primary focus on climate change adaptation. He has implemented the Open Society initiative for Southern Africa OSISA with a primary focus on addressing women sustainability through adaptation to climate change by promoting best practices such as forestation, sustainable land use and access to land ownership.	I am a 30 year old Zambian who is highly motivated , self driven young person with the ability to adapt and learn new things. With my strong inter-personal skills, I have developed passion to combat climate change looking at its negative impact on the environment. I hold a Diploma in Journalism and Public Relations , one of the reputable higher learning institutions in the country and have channeled the strength to climate change by pushing the reforms that might be of significance in promoting climate justice for all. I have attended a number of meetings and workshops in relation to climate change and secure climate justice, and as a young person, my principle line has been circling around youth and women led emergency preparedness. I have also worked with the Lake Tanganyika Development Program LTDP raising awareness on crop diversification and integrated land use planning on the Lake Tanganyika basin and the upper land, advocating for proper and sustainable utilization of Natural Resource on Lake Tanganyika. Since women are the most affected by climate change, I have strongly advocated for skills development (Agro-ecology) that enables women to participate and compete effectively in issues surrounding climate change and come up with best agricultural practices. Women now have access to land ownership and are using their acquired skills and knowledge to apply best agriculture practices and methods that are adaptive to climate change resilience. A significant factor in the success of my advocacy work and working relationship with government and stakeholders has been new and effective ways of collecting data, monitoring targets and measuring progress on climate mobility and resilient livelihood especially for the asylum seekers from the war torn countries, Democratic Republic of Congo DRC and Burundi. My advocacy work has applied the principle of ownership where the targeted beneficiaries women and youth are chiefly responsible on how to combat climate change based on their own priorities, needs and stage of development. I have effectively participated in international events such as the International Union of Conservation of nature IUCN in Tanzania on sustainable land use planning. I have been involved in community awareness on crop diversification and biodiversity as part of the Global Environmental Facility GEF with funding from the United Nations Development plan UNDP. This has led to the paradigm shift from dependency on the lake for sustainable livelihood. I have also attended the youth consultative meeting for the migration of refugees as part of the delegation team in Kampala, Uganda 2019 as an initiative of the African Governance Architecture AGA with support from the European Union. This widely reflected on both the political and humanitarian solutions towards the plight of refugees. On a broader perspective, I have sensitized refugees especially children and women on their Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights and where they can access these services. It is against this background , iam applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 owing to my passion working on climate mobility as my primary focus.I feel motivated and and once iam selected , it will help me learn and share my experience in this crusade of climate mobility and plan better in youth tailored programmes.

Temperatures are rising and devastating extremes of weather are becoming ever more common. The world has proved slow to respond, with mitigation plans falling far short of what is needed to preserve the planet. We are all affected. No matter who you are, or where you live, climate change will impact upon your life. But those with the greatest vulnerabilities are likely to bear the greatest burden: and the most vulnerable are the world’s children. The climate crisis has sparked a crisis of mobility: Around the world, in 2019 alone, some 23.9 million people were involuntarily displaced by weather-related disasters. That dwarfs the 8.5 million people displaced by the factors we so often associate with migration and displacement: conflict and violence. My motivations for applying is that I value delegating Practice, to work, and drive common youth advocacy, and support youth-focused action to address the risks and harness the opportunities relating to climate mobility.
1136	Promise	Boniface	Prodigy kids innovation hub	www.prodigykids.com	My name is PROMISE BONIFACE, I have always been keen on how our educational system runs and better ways to provide learning opportunities for children both in privileged and under-privilege communities. At a very young age, I have imagined the amazing things technology could do for our children and grew up to be particularly interested in personalized and skill based learning. Growing up in my local community, I realize children tend to learn best when they are made to do it, and when they made to apply what they have learned. This however inspired my innovation; Prodigy kids innovation hub, At Prodigy kids innovation hub, we focus on building tech skill-based learning among kids. We do not just train and mentor, but create a platform to allow these kids to share their knowledge with other children through offline training, online webinars, and boot camps. Besides, skills development brings about a progressive and prosperous society, and every person, including children and teenagers, have a part to play in building the society. Our mission is to leverage skill-based learning to grow a formidable network of young innovators, building relevant skills to enable them to contribute meaningfully to sustainable development while tackling the Global learning crisis. I believe in changing the world, man must not think that he wields all the power to do so, and though we could individually impact the world in our various ways, a collective effort brings not only about sustainability but greater impact. My passion in the areas of educational technology has led me to explore Google tools and leveraging on them to foster digitalization in Education. I am problem-oriented, versatile and I believe that every person has a part to play in creating a better world.	I believe in changing the world, man must not think that he wields all the power to do so, and though we could individually impact the world in our various ways, a collective effort brings not only about sustainability but greater impact. Meeting a couple of community members in ACMI and experiencing the passion that drives everyone to become a change agent in the area of education strengthens my hope that I do not fight alone. I have always wanted to be part of the community because I see my passion and objective resonating well with its mission. I am excited to be part of a community with continuous engagement, collaboration, and dedication, to bring positive change to children and youths all over the world and create opportunities for children to flourish and live up to their potentials.

1141	Mondekazi	Ntshele	Friedrich-Ebert -Stiftung	https://southafrica.fes.de	Mondekazi Ntshele radiates a sincere passion for community development, Human Rights, political economy, and Justice, this is shown by her involvement in the community and within in the University Community. She is a highly motivated and competent team leader with a strong vision to achieve successful outcomes both in academic space and work. Mondekazi holds a Bachelor’s degree in Administration majoring in Public Administration and Political Science, as well as a Bachelor of Laws (LLB). She is currently enrolled for her Master of Laws specializing in Constitutional and Administrative law at the University of Cape Town (UCT). She is currently working as a part-time research intern at African Policing Civilian Oversight Forum (APCOF). To develop her legal career, she is serving as a legal representative in the Pro bono Special Tribunal on Gender-Based Violence matters at UCT. Mondekazi also has obtained certification in the Organisations and Gender course at Gender Equality. She also has enrolled in studying various online courses in human rights, and the right to privacy in the digital age in Africa hosted by the Centre of Human Rights at the University of Pretoria. Subsequently, attended a course training in Policing and Vulnerability hosted by the former institution. Her passion for Community development and current affairs in sustainability development started way long ago she started being involved in university-based organizations where she served in various leadership positions. In 2021 she was selected to be part of a Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Fellowship Where she participated in a competition for a political economy project and won a prize to start a project on social democracy and political education in South Africa. In current developments of the projects, Mondekazi and Her team are drafting a curriculum for the targeted audience on democracy, participation in political activities through votes, and constitutional literacy. In addition, Mondekazi attended and participated in international conferences which include Asia Youth International Model United Nations where she presented a paper on “Human Security in the globalized World” under the UN-women and Gender equality. Subsequently, participated in World Youth Forum in Egypt.	I believes that Climate issues affects directly the population and unfortunately in South Africa, the conversation about climate change are not as big as it should. Climate change is a big issue that impact other aspects of life which includes gender, poverty, environment and health. As I have mentioned on my biography that I got an opportunity to be part of FES fellowship. In the fellowship I got to learn extensively about climate change. The effects of climate climate change in relation to different forms of mobility. As a person who grew up in the rural areas of South Africa climate change affected us. As a result of that, forms of climate mobility or manifestation of climate change emerged. In those circumstances people would leave their homestead and places to relocate. Socio-economic issues such as human trafficking, children’s own mobility, as migrants , and the mobility of parents who leave children behind in their places of origin. The children encounter many challenges as a result thereof, for instance during their journeys or migration violence, trafficking, forced labour would take place. Other disadvantages situation children find themselves in consequential to the circumstances would be high rates of school dropout, poor access to health care and other services. These outcomes, in turn, tends to have lasting implications for children’s development and reinforce and exacerbate their vulnerability and exposure to climate and other types of risks. I have also encountered undocumented children coming from Zimbabwe due to poverty and other forms of economic status such as climate change. Furthermore, I have attended a plenary session hosted by Youth African Institute of International Affairs (Youth@SAIIA) in partnership with various organizations, schools, and university groups across South Africa. Where we discussed South African Youth Climate Action Plan. Our deliberations involved recommendations that are guided by the vision of what shaped present and future will be, along with clear actions required to ensure that vision becomes a reality. We have ensured to include five pillars to make the vision into practicality. The intersectionality, Advocacy and Activism for Climate Change, Good governance, systematic change and environmental sustainability. During my studies I also joined Enactus Organisation to empower communities and to improve their standards through entreprenueship Action. As a project officer I introduced a project where we created a brick using plastics, sand, fire, wooden sticks and cowdung. In the process of that project we realised that the our project has an effect to the population and environment. Hence I apply to be part of ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27. With the experience in social activism and justice, research and advocacy, I am suitable to join a group of vibrant young people in Africa to drive the common cause to ensure that policies, laws and research intersect to fight the scourge of climate change and forms of mobility thereafter.

I love community participation, which aims to serve my community and my country, and this motivates me a lot to apply for this conference. I also work in the agricultural field, which is one of the areas most affected by climate changes, whether by affecting agricultural crops or biodiversity in the environment.

1147	Emmanuel	Nurse	Youth Against Tribalism In Africa ( YATIA)	www.yatia.org	Emmanuel is a professional youth development practitioner and an Environmentalist who reflects a varied personality including perseverance, and the quality of thoughtfulness and change making. He is a well determined and vigorous individual, yet pleasantly calm. Through his desire for academic excellence, he has captured few achievements. In 2017, he was honored by the European Union, St. Peter Claver's Alumni Association and the Ministry of Education for ranking third in Liberia in the Liberia Senior High School Certificate Examinations under the West African Examination Council. Emmanuel is a certificated scholar of the BHP Billiton Scholars Program (2014) and Joseph Jenkins Roberts Education Foundation (2018). As an environmentalist and being passionate about education, Emmanuel believes that the environmental and climate issues can be tackled through quality education; "Today, there are unending environmental problems in my country, and I intend on providing more preventive than curative approaches in mitigating the global environmental crisis in my country. This can be achievable through acquiring quality education." With the aim of making impact from his area of influence, Emmanuel, prior to joining YATIA-Africa in 2016, has been involved with several voluntary activities, including the Network for Peace, whose aim is to eradicate drugs abuse and reach out to the least affected. He is a member of the Pan African Voluntary Network. With immense advocacy on the violations of children rights and other abuses, Emmanuel has also served as Chairperson of the Liberia National Children Parliament Forum, representing his hometown, Grand Bassa County. Emmanuel holds a bachelor of Science Degree Honor (Summa Cum Laude) in Environmental Science with a minor in Occupational Health and Safety. Currently, he is a successful candidate of the ArcelorMittal Young Professional programs where he’s interning as an environmental officer. Water quality Monitoring, Data Input and Analysis, and Compliance Monitoring are some of the responsibilities which he engages as part of his agenda to maintain a safe and healthy environment. With much interest and passion for the environment, Emmanuel enjoys engaging in voluntary initiatives that continue to help in sustaining a safe and healthy environment. Emmanuel's dream is to see Liberia brings into effect the goal 'Thirteen (Climate Action)' of the 'Sustainable Development Goals' by creating a healthy environment and adopting practices that would prevent Climate Change. As one of Emmanuel's personal quote reads: "The smallest ideas and potentials undermined today could liberate and impact an entire generation tomorrow."	It is almost impossible to address environmental problems as a unit because the world is a global village where problem on one side of the earth has effect on the other side that isn't the primary cause of the problem. My primary goal of attending COP27 is to have a holistic review of global environmental issues at an international level with diverse views and concepts. I am passionate joining other representatives from different countries to agree on policies and share diverse views and concepts on addressing environmental issues such as climate change. I am willing to come because this assembly is intended to be one of the milestones towards the inclusion of youth’s voices in the multilateral systems of the UN. Also, I am willing to come because it is an opportunity to acquire the requisite knowledge needed to enhance environmental education and Climate advocacy. I envision myself playing a more participatory delegate role at this assembly. I anticipate on displaying more proactive skills that are vital in the fight to save our environment. The perspectives I would bring in will firstly be to provide more preventive strategies and suggestions in addressing the world's most pressing challenges rather than curative approaches. I suggest that we increase our volumes on ways to prevent or mitigate the problems. I would also bring in the need to engage in the participatory approach. Let there be an inclusive participation of all representatives in all every aspect of the assembly. This approach will help youth leaders draft national work plans that will be decentralized and applicable to every sector at home. My perspectives to be brought in will be ones that focus more on engagement continuity plan after the assembly. With the strong conviction that the change I want to see in the environment starts with me, I have always committed to doing the little things that matters within my area of influence. Since I got enrolled into university, I have seen volunteerism as key tool in making significant impact within the environment. I have worked with the International Student Environmental Coalition in Liberia providing access for students in joining the fight to save our Environment. Serving as program chairperson, I have worked with my team in organizing environmental symposiums for students as the foundation for enhancing the environmental advocacy and education in Liberia. My team has also organized cleanups initiatives on school campuses and some communities as a method of displaying a practical approach of maintaining a safe environment. Also serving in this capacity, my institution partnered with the Liberia National Geography Society and presented a petition to the national legislature last year during the national celebration of the world environment day that is being reviewed. I also volunteered with the Pan African Voluntary Network for the past three years in Liberia. Its overall objective is to educated people on environmental issues by demonstrating the act. We had several cleanups and Eco tourist trips to explore the environment and appreciate nature

1149	Robbin	Omeka	The ANIKA INITIATIVE	www.anikainitiative.com	I run an association of creative artists using artistic expression to champion for different causes. On stage, I am called Enigma Kreative. I am a trained Natural Resource manager with specialty in Wildlife Management. I love reading and learning about the environment and climate. Currently I am one of the animators for LaudatoSi which is a climate action movement that leverages the connectedness and community of Catholic faithful to run campaigns to make better climate action initiatives at grassroots all around the world. I recently received a Honorary Doctorate in Public Service from the Dominion Mission Theological University in Ghana for the work I have done with urban refugees and artistic collectives in Kenya, South Africa, Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda. I am Harvard trained on Intellectual property and I have trainer of trainers proficiency in Human centered design. The Anika Creatives Association is a founding member of the Africa for Sustainable development Fellowship which has just concluded its second cohort bringing together 70 young leaders across the continent to learn the SDGs, Circular Economy, Team Dynamics, Human Centered Design and Intellectual Property so that they make empowered decisions and build resilient networks. I have had the privilege to serve at the helm of many projects involving dialogue and policy over the past 7 years. This has exposed me to divers groups of people and variances in opinions. I appreciate the degree of privilege I hold and always seek for chances to exercise the agency I have to share and impart the knowledge I have gathered with others within the different communities I am part of. My philosophy in life is that we should all do the best we can with what we have and inspire others to do the same.	The forum will be an opportunity to network with like minded thought provoking youth in the continent. I turned 30 on may 13th this year and I feel I am at an actualization period of my career in the Civil Society as a creative practitioner. I understand the challenges of programming, fundraising and project implementation deeply. I have been fortunate to travel within the East African region and network with individuals at different levels doing ground breaking work in sustainable development, climate advocacy and artistic expression. While working with urban refugees, I interacted with the concept of climate refugees as explained through the lived experiences of a refugee I happened to meet. To think that climate action can be so drastic that it causes displacement is scary. I have since then become curious to understand deeply what needs to be done to avert this real threat posed by climate change. The association I run, The Anika Creatives Association, has a strategic plan to leverage its networks under my stewardship to build a body of work that advocates for different climate action issues. Our different cultures as Africans bring us together through artistic expression. We intend to leverage on this tool to mainstream conversations on trafficking of protected plant and animal species, organized crime in Wildlife, illicit financial flows within the climate action space and also to empower the younger generation to defend the environment. To this end, I have worked with different disciplines to bring to life different climate action advocacy campaigns. I have consulted as a communications expert on a sandal wood trafficking project where I shared my knowledge and expertise in strategy, programming, artist management and stakeholder management. The project culminated in the launch of a report, a documentary on trafficking and a concert to crown the awareness campaign on sandalwood. I hope to network with other delegates and create connections that potentially birth collaborations in the continent on pertinent issues on climate action.

I am a boy aged 22, currently pursuing my bachelors honors degree in Environmental Protection Designing and Technology at the University of Zimbabwe. Currently in my final year (4th year).	I am writing to express my interest in becoming an ACMI youth forum delegate. I am a vibrant and energetic man who is studying environmental protection design and technology at the University of Zimbabwe. I consider it a vibrant experience to get the opportunity to contribute to the climate mobility discussions at COP27, as its mission aligns with my goals, and would appreciate the chance to share my enthusiasm and commitment to curb climate change effects. I would very much like to contribute in Egypt since I would be meeting different people from different parts, I will learn a lot and also share my knowledge of climate mobility. I studied climate change during part 2 it would be an advantage and worthwhile to share in the discussion. Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
1152	Franck Girès	Dokgne Hamkoumg	University of Douala		I am a youth fisheries and aquatic ecosystem engineer. Presently i'm conducting a research on the impact artisanal fishing on the ecosystem. In the past, i have been a technical assistant of a aquaculture farm, where my objectives was to increase the number of pond; to assure the artificial reproduction of Tilapia, and so on.	Africa, by Rwanda hosted the ever first African Protected Area Congress (APAC) from 18 to 23th of July 2022. Prior to this, they where a pre-congress for the Youth. The purpose was to dicuss about the issues Protected Area in Africa and also to discuss about the place of the youth in this process. The APAC youth pre-congress took place from the 15th to 17th of july 2022 at Onomo hotel at Kigali. I was one (and the only cameroonian) of 65 youngs selected frop all the Africa countries. We came out of this with a proposal, that have been raised up in the main Congress. Youths need to be more implicated in high level events, that is one of my commitment. The COP 27 is just the next step, since many commitments have been made and also important decisions have been taken. So is an opportunity to participate in all the debates that are going to be held, especially for us the youths. Through the works we are doing in our respectives fields, we have made the commitment to protect our ecosystems in Africa. So such events are occasion for us youths to participate in the intergenerational dialogue, since we are are the leaders of tomorrow and the decisions taken will impact us firstly. It is also an opportunity for the youths to build a strong network, to share experiences. I am most interested by the Mitigation goal. Like i have said my studies focus on fisheries and aquatic ecosystems management. One problem we have with the fishers communities is the destruction of mangroves forests for their activities. In fact, firstly they use mangroves woods to construct their artisanal vessels. Secondly knowing the goods health properties of those woods they use it to smoke (a conservation method) their products (and it is the most use method in many countries in Africa). So there is a problem ENERGY. We can mitigate and ecen eradicate this problem through Green energy transitions. An example is to use solar energy to transform, to smoke those aquatic species.

I recently joined my voice with about 100 others of the same interest to create awareness of the need to preserve the Earth by reducing acts that threaten her existence. We had a march in an area in Ibadan to sensitize the public on the need to treasure our world by reducing climate change activities. Seeing the immediate effect of inordinate human activities affecting our lovely home while something can be done perturbs me and pushes me to aid the change.

1156	Idoxine Adoukè Astride	AHOUMENOU	ONG Jeunesse et Emplois Vert pour une Economie Verte	https://ongjevev.wixsite.com/ong-jevev	As a young woman, very committed to local development, passionate about green economy issues, I advocate for exponential activism in campaigns for the SDGs and climate change. After obtaining my scientific Baccalaureate, I became a committed citizen in favour of the most vulnerable, civic engagement, the protection of fauna and flora. I also advocate for some specific issues such as climate change, food security and youth entrepreneurship. This love for agriculture, environmental protection and the fight against climate change led me to study for a degree in Plant and Seed Production and Management, in order to master, apply and popularise climate-smart agricultural practices. I have been involved in some organisations in order to sensitise the general public on eco-citizenship and the importance of protecting the environment. In these organisations, I have trained more than 500 producers on innovative practices and technologies for resilience and adaptation to climate change and the promotion of innovations in sustainable activities that respect environmental principles through the teaching of the green economy in different communities in Benin. My young age, my investment in youth outreach as a development actor allowed me to be noticed by the World Water Council and to be invited to work towards concrete actions and solutions for water and for building resilience and adaptive capacity to climate change and natural disasters, in the framework of the 9th World Water Forum. I was also selected to represent Benin for the Global Land scape Forum GLF 2021 programme which enables young people to make their voices heard and generate a conversation around rights, climate and sustainable landscapes through social networks. Her actions have earned her the title of Green Climate Ambassador for Africa. In March 2021, she received the first TOYP (Ten Outstanding Young Persons) award in the Environmental and/or Moral Leadership category. Her commitment to agriculture and the promotion of rural women was rewarded by her nomination for the Oscar des Amazones in the Agriculture category. Selected to represent Benin in the "50 young people committed to the climate" programme initiated by the IOF, IFDD and LOJIQ, she is working with 49 other young people from around the world to reinvent the dialogue between science, politics and the general public with the aim of implementing innovative solutions to the climate crisis in order to build more sustainable and resilient societies. In May 2022, I was also selected for the ASA programme of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) to work with young people around the world on global issues and to promote African youth and women's innovations on climate change. This programme is a mobility programme, I was in Germany for 3months in the framework of this programme.	Dear members of the selection committee, I hereby submit my application. As I am concerned about the involvement of young people in the protection of biodiversity, becoming an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 that you are proposing is an opportunity I would like to seize. I am very sensitive to everything that affects our planet and its ecosystem, and I advocate exponential activism in the campaigns for the SDGs and the fight against climate change. After obtaining my scientific Baccalaureate, I became a committed citizen in favour of the most vulnerable, climate change and the protection of fauna and flora. I am also an activist for some specific issues such as soil protection, integrated water resources management, food security and green entrepreneurship. This love for agriculture, environmental protection and the fight against climate change led me to study Agronomic Sciences and obtain a degree in Plant and Seed Production and Management, in order to master, apply and popularise climate-smart agricultural practices. Furthermore, I am currently looking for a programme that will allow me to discuss with experts on biodiversity protection and climate change resilience and contribute to the work on driving ambitious climate actions. This programme is therefore an important opportunity for me to strengthen my skills in biodiversity management and protection techniques. Indeed, I want to be able to contribute to the protection of the environment and the strengthening of the resilience of communities at the grassroots level to the harmful effects of climate change, but I lack the tools to be effective in the field. This training will therefore enable me to understand the issues surrounding biodiversity management, assess the consequences and propose techniques to protect the environment for the future of life on earth and innovative methods of resilience to climate change. Moreover, this event is perfectly suited to my level of study. It will allow me to reinforce and enrich the knowledge I have already acquired throughout my studies and will also give me a unique opportunity to gain more knowledge in effective biodiversity management techniques, climate resilience and mitigation and to discuss with professionals from several countries around the world. This knowledge will allow me to raise awareness among other young people who without a logic of action, without planning and without knowledge of environmental protection could be the source of its deterioration.

Being an ACMI delegate at COP27 is important to me because I believe it is an incredible opportunity to uplift one of the most important topics around climate change: climate anxiety & mental health. My focus the last few years has been teaching 50K+ people how to manage their mental health and when it comes to climate change, I noticed that one of the most important things is being able to take care of ourselves while we mobilize to make change in the world. I believe sharing tips & resources around climate anxiety and empowering change-makers to being healthier means a faster road towards addressing climate.

1160	Oum El Hanae	El Kraid	Green Universities for Sustainability	https://instagram.com/green_uni_4sustainability?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=	A determined and scholarship-holder Economic Analysis and Public Policy graduate with a remarkable capacity for green project management and a strong will to drive change in my community. I am a firm believer that it is through unlocking the potential of local communities that we can meaningfully address climate change and create an ecosystem of climate action that allows for appropriate policymaking from the concerned parties. It is due to this belief that I started a youth-led and youth-focused organization named ‘’Green Universities for Sustainability’’ which aims to amplify the voices of young students in climate negotiations and create a uniquely warm and welcoming atmosphere for sustainability and green values inside campuses. Indeed, it aims to empower youth to take mitigation actions, enhance their participation in climate change policy decision-making processes and have their voices heard. I am an active member of YOUNGO, the Youth Constituency of the UNFCCC and my application to host a Local Conference of Youth for the first time in Morocco has been granted by the LCOY Working Group of YOUNGO, thereby making me the representative of the first officially endorsed LCOY Morocco 2022. Moreover, I was nominated by the Moroccan government as a national delegate at COP26 in Glasgow, UK. During a side event in the Moroccan pavilion entitled "Towards the implementation of a Climate Commitment Charter for African Universities" and aimed at highlighting the role of youth in the fight against climate change, we managed to build a network of 781 young activists and visited 51 pavilions of different countries and NGOs. Other than my work within this initiative, I strive to raise awareness in my community and make people aware of the importance of climate action. I have participated in numerous events centred around sustainability such as the PlanetNeedsYOUth initiative organized by ISPI which encourages young people to play a central role in the debates on global challenge, the first edition of Morocco Green Week by AIESEC and Africa Shapers in which I have won third place with the project “BioLoon” aimed at making environmentally friendly plant-based natural dyes to make artisanal products, the Environmental Monitoring Bootcamp by the AFCD Foundation, the Green Summer Camp by Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung... I have also completed many online courses such as Green Economy and Trade and Green Fiscal Policy under the umbrella of the Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE) bringing together five UN agencies. Moreover, I’m the CEO of a start-up named TRADICRAFT in which we commercialize artisanal products for sustainable use made by rural housewives. Lastly, I was a research assistant at the Direction of Observation, Studies, and Planning of the Ministry of Energetic Transition and Sustainable Development in Morocco where I assembled, interpreted, and analysed information related to my research project on the Ecological Footprint Analysis and its relevance in the case of Morocco. Moreover, I developed reports, notes, and documents about the sustainable development strategy of Morocco and organized events and seminars to establish good practices and raise climate change awareness.	If there is a global challenge that I am most passionate about, that would be climate change. Indeed, it is a real and undeniable threat to our civilization as its effects continue to be more visible and might even be catastrophic unless action is urgently taken. I grew up in Laayoune, a particularly remote city, located on the edge of the Sahara Desert in Morocco. This makes access to water difficult and extreme weather events more intense and frequent, thus aggravating water management problems and hindering food security in the region. I have personally seen the devastating impact that climate-related disasters can have on innocent citizens, and I commit to do the best I can to help people see climate change as the inevitable issue of human security it has proven to be. I want to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate and be able to attend COP27 for many reasons, namely to present the youth statement that my initiative elaborated in the First Local Conference of Youth in Morocco and get some comments and feedback on it. It is also very important for my initiative Green Universities for Sustainability to be present in the Moroccan Pavilion once again this year. My plans are to continue spreading the message that the voice of youth truly matters and ensure their active participation in important matters that concern them. This can only be ensured if I am given the floor to speak up and participate in different sessions among world leaders and international NGOs. My past experience at COP26 in Glasgow exceeded my expectations in the sense that I was able to work on a youth agenda and report back to my university and set a good example to follow. My aim through participating at COP27 is to connect and engage with other young climate enthusiasts from different countries and fields and to actively engage in a dialogue and exchange ideas. Lastly, I deem that it is essential to empower young people along with other civil society members to participate in a strong and meaningful way in climate change decision-making and action. I am also a firm believer that young people can be of great value in contributing to climate action if only given a chance to have their voices heard and to attend big climate summits alongside decision-makers. I am eager to improve the knowledge and skills that I already acquired in relation to climate change during my experiences and to have the chance to sit on the same table with other motivated young people and exchange knowledge. Indeed, in my previous experiences, I got the chance to oversee diverse groups of individuals with rather different working styles, skill levels and experiences. This did not constitute a challenge for me but rather an asset that enabled me to tackle complex projects, thereby making me flexible and keen to collaborate with diverse people and adapt my techniques if needed to better suit the individuals I am working with.

This leadership is further expressed when I joined a civil society organization that works in human rights and through the female leadership program Nyonufia (JFL) Togo edition 2021 where I learned so many things that made it possible to further build the person I am today.	My motivation in applying to be ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27, is to learn more and an opportunity to bring my voice regarding climate change, an alarming situation. To be able to participate in the search for solutions to save our environment. Make new discoveries and get in touch with a new network that has this theme at heart, in order to join forces for better results.

1168	Hager	Hasan	Orman Governmental Language School	https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100009301719411	From an early age, I was interested in STEM subjects and wanted to know how things around us are built and designed. Also, I developed an interest in building sustainable solutions to solve the world’s toughest challenges. I decided to explore and take on the journey of researching sustainable solutions. I always believe that it’s a waste not to use waste thus I was willing to provide solutions to recycle waste through applicable tools. I have worked on multiple projects that address pollution and recycling waste. I worked on building a sustainable house and enhancing Biogas and Pyrolysis systems, advanced energy technologies. I participated with my projects at many science fairs such as Regeneron ISEF 2022 and won a special award. This journey cultivated in me a deep appreciation and a strong passion for STEM. Moreover, I am interested in computer programs and I love to discover the possibilities we can do with them. I enrolled in “The Microsoft DigiGirlz community”, where women speak about their careers in technology. Although I like STEM fields, I am heavily into arts especially drawing. I am grateful for the acquired skills as they made me a possible candidate for this amazing program.	I find this program a great way to skill up and acquire more knowledge in the field. It is a step in the right direction as I am very interested in sustainability and developing environmental solutions. I advocate for the use of clean energy and eliminating agricultural waste through working on research projects and developing ideas to save our environment, fight pollution and food shortage to sustain our planet and leave a safe place for us and generations to come. I am excited to find this opportunity and delighted with its focus on the area I have been long interested in. I would love to be part of the event and connect with bright minds that share the same interest and passion to build a sustainable future. With that, I expect to contribute, share and gain knowledge, and experience. It also sounds like a lot of fun! I hope to learn and connect with leaders, pioneers, and bright minds in the field of sustainability. So, the program is a great way to build a network and expand my experience, and exposure to the topic, all while having fun and meeting new people!

The collapse of ecosystems, global weather disasters, rising temperatures and sea levels and the depletion of water resources are all outcomes of climate change and all caused by human activity.
1170	Consolata	Gitau	Women in Conservation technology (Wildlabs)	wildlabs.net	I am an experienced and passionate Ecologist, working in conservation and research fields .To build my knowledge in these fields, I put effort by attending webinars, scientific congresses, and forums, and also being in the field. I chose to pursue Master of Science and a Bachelor of Science in Range Management, Ecology option of my zeal to contribute to the conservation of wildlife and their habitat, specifically those on the verge of extinction. I have worked for reputable organizations including, African Fund for Endangered Wildlife, International Livestock Research Institute, and BirdLife International. I have published web articles, produced reports, and shared results in webinars. To enhance my efforts in environmental conservation and advocacy, I am a member of the Youth for our planet Africa, Climate Smart Agriculture Youth Network Global (GCSAYN), Global Landscape Forum GLF Nairobi, and Green Ambassadorship Program (GAP) by the African Network of Green Ambassadors (ANGA). My hard work and persistence in the conservation filed qualified me for a travel grant to present my BirdLife International Projects at the Pan African Ornithological Congress in November 2022 in Zimbabwe. My abstract was accepted at the International Rangeland Congress, 2023 that will be held in the USA. I am a member of Women in Conservation Technology (WiCT), organized by Ol Pejeta TechLab, Fauna & Flora International, and WILDLABS, out of merit and Conservation Leadership Program (CLP) Alumni Network. I love my continent Africa, more specifically my country Kenya for its rich biodiversity and culture. I hope to make a difference in the conservation field and pastoralist lives through research, policy, and encouraging law enforcement, especially now when climate change impacts are hugely felt in the rangelands. Getting certification for Project Management and GIS and Remote sensing are my short-term goals while enrolling in Ph.D. is my middle-term goal, within the next 3 years. I enjoys reading books, listening to podcasts, and going for game drives during my free time.	In Africa, the majority of the population is youth, and I am one of the large team. A good number of us are aware of the climate change issues that have caused climate mobility and are willing to take action. A strong-willed team of youth activists can educate the communities on the need to act now to conserve the environment, hence reducing the challenges of climate change and building a better future by reducing climate refugees. The current widespread use of technology including simple mobile phones to online and social media advertisements is a great avenue to push the climate change movement. Our voices as youth are important in pushing for existing policies and laws relating to climate change and climate mobility to be enforced. More than 80% of Kenya lies in the rangelands, and a big population of pastoralists live in these areas. Although these communities are known to migrate to different environments in search of pasture, current climate change effects have led most of them to desert their native lands. An example of the northern part of Kenya, recurrent and severe droughts have been the order of the day for the last 3 years. My background in BSc and MSc Range Management gave me great knowledge of the need to integrate African Indigenous Knowledge with Scientific Knowledge to help address these impacts of climate change. Given a chance to be an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27, I will share the extent to which pastoralists are becoming climate refugees, and the need to involve them in decision-making. Pastoralists, just like other Africans had their own traditional methods of managing the prevalent droughts and floods. Collecting these data is highly desired for managing the impacts of climate change at lower levels. This will also be an excellent chance for learning, networking, and engaging with other brilliant youth from across the globe
1171	Doreen Rwetaka	Kachubo	RK PLANET GREENER LTD	www.rkplanetgreenerltd.co.tz	My name is Doreen Kachubo 20 years, now studying Orthrepaedic Diploma course at Muhimbili University. I am Director of a Company called RK PLANET GREENER LTD.I joined this Company when I was 15 years old. The company is dealing wit renewable energies. I participated in a project called Distributions of Solar Lanterns in Households coming from underprivileged areas during Covid 19.In Tanzania, currently more children are enrolled in school due to fee-free basic education policy. The enrolment increases have been found across all levels. It is noted that by 2020, about 15.4 million children were enrolled in Tanzania Mainland from pre-primary schools up to advanced level secondary educations. The eruption of COVID-19 pandemic had brought devastating impacts to the national level all the world that are likely to have long term social and economic consequences. Tanzania like other countries around the world took temporarily measure to close educational institutions in an attempt to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. The long period of closures educational institutions, the schooling children were highly affected educationally since they were relied on parents to carry out learning at home with expectation that parents would take charge and the responsibilities of teaching them. This was not easy task as it was sought by the government during closing the schools, therefore the government intervened by taking measures to make education systems more just, inclusive and resilient through supporting distance children learning. This distance children learning were provided through radio, television, email and video conference. Many children especially those who were coming from rural areas were not able to join with distance learning program during the school closure period due to difficulties in terms of abilities and availability of reliable technologies to support them in distance learning. Very few children and mostly those who were at urban areas had managed to join distance learning program Other factor affected children from rural areas is the lack of accessibility to electricity for children to study at night while at home. Most children from Mbogwe and Geita Rural district lives long distance from schools, that make them to walk a long distance to attend school and return home daily. Once they return home, most children are involved to assist their family with household chores. At night it exceedingly difficult to do their schoolwork/assignment or reviewing classwork due to the lack of light. Children in the rural areas used candles or kerosene lamps to study in the evenings/night. Lack of a proper lighting source also affects the academic success of the children, making it harder for them to further their education. Solar energy is a prime sustainable asset to be used a source of lighting in most of the rural areas. This would enable children in rural areas to study at night and it sought as reliable and affordable solution for children to further their education. As narrated above, it is obvious that children at rural areas were not benefited by the program introduced by the government. They performance was dropped dramatically when the schools were restarted.	I am coming from a low income class family, With two girls and one boy.,I am 20 years of age I am twine to Doris making a family of three children. When I was 3 Years old, I played with my twin Doris, one of our neighbor's girl and chopped up my left eye with a sharp knife. My family sold everything to rescue my eye but lastly, the Doctor advised us to remove it as there was the possibility of experiencing Cancer. The eye was removed when I reached 6 years. Since then I have been using one eye with an artificial eye on the other side. My parents kept advising Me not to be ashamed of myself, I kept doing good in class without caring for any bullying from other mates. When I reached form two is when the bullying increased, but my parents kept telling Me, ''You have to take it easy, don't bother them''. Even though I beat the bottom of the rock, I still bounce to other opportunities. It reached a time when I saw that the World was crumbling but I told Myself I am not going to go down without a fight. I am currently studying an Orthopedic diploma course at Muhimbili University, a three Year course How other describes Me: If she sets her goals on something, nobody better stand in her way, I am sharing this today to encourage someone and Myself.

1172	Gertrude	Asumadu	UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network	http://localpathways.org/2022-fellows	Gertrude Asumadu is 28 years old and she is a graduate in Msc Public Administration (specializing in International and European Governance) from Leiden University and a BSc (Hons) Economics from University of Leeds with experience in international affairs specifically in policy, advocacy and campaigns related to education, poverty, HIV/AIDS, climate change, gender equality among others. Gertrude has worked with multiple charities and organizations within international affairs including the ONE Campaign, Christian Aid, Child.Org, UNICEF, Restless Development, Amnesty International, UNDP Asia to mention a few. She has gained experience in the international development field which has empowered her as a young leader/changemaker to continually make an impact in society. For instance, working as a ONE UK youth ambassador between 2017 and 2019 gave her the opportunity to be involved in policy advisory concerning advocating for an increase in aid for girls’ education in Africa. Through interacting with UK Members of Parliament in the European Parliament (Brussels) in 2017, Gertrude was able to influence this increase in aid which was eventually implemented in 2018 by working hand in hand with other youth ambassadors. Her key involvement in projecting ONE UK’s campaign in her local community contributed to her feature on the Amnesty International UK’s Suffragette Spirit Campaign Map in March 2018 to celebrate women human rights defenders across the UK. She is currently a UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) Local Pathways Fellow, AFS Youth Assembly Ambassador to the UK, Their World Global Youth Ambassador and the ONE Campaign UK Community Leader.	In June 2021, I was selected as a Climate Campaigns Organizer with Christian Aid. In this role, I lobbied my local MP Rachel Reeves on the UK’s commitment to climate finance towards developing countries who are mostly faced with the harsh effects of climate change including climate mobility. She upheld my campaign action and highlighted the need for the UK to commit to this (as other developed countries) . Furthermore, she promised to highlight this in parliament in the days leading up to the COP 26 in Glasgow last year. Furthermore, I joined a march in Leeds with other climate protesters from across West Yorkshire to demand climate justice from world leaders, specifically the UK government. Furthermore, I organized a group of young people from across the UK highlighting climate change and its repercussions especially on developing countries (displacement, flooding, drought among others) and why it is important to add their voices. They all took a step in lobbying their local MPs in order to advance my campaign for climate justice. I also rallied support from my local community by soliciting for local residents to add their names to my petition sheet to further put pressure on the UK government to make a commitment towards climate financing in contributing towards alleviating the devastating consequences of climate change in developing countries. Though it has been almost a year now and world leaders are still pledging whilst climate change (climate mobility) continues to be a threat, I do hope that given the opportunity to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27, I will be able to present a strong case for world leaders to act urgently to save the planet. The time is now!

I have vast experience in the agribusiness sector with experience in developing gender and youth in agribusiness strategies, supporting early businesses in the agribusiness sector ,market systems development, facilitating participatory learning and workshops, value chain analysis and development of climate smart agricultural strategies. I have attended a discussion on the state of Adaptation in Africa Report where key discussions were pegged on; 1. How can we raise enough financial resources to support our Adaptation actions in Africa? 2. How can we support local led Adaptation actions looking at sector's like agriculture? 3. What's the role of technology in supporting our Adaptation actions as we gear and prepare towards COP27 in Egypt? Attended the Africa Climate Week 2022 in Libreville, Gabon that came to an end with a high note and high level political leadership and commitments from different stakeholders across the world. My major key take away; 1. Adaptation is key at COP 27 for African countries and the ways in which to finance it. 2. Finance towards local climate actions and increased ambitions towards 100Billion goal to be fast-tracked. 3. Loss and Damage Facility will be a key component together with a finance mechanism heading into COP27 Through YOUTH JOURNALISTS MOVEMENT FOR SDGs, which I act as the Founder and Executive Director, we have implemented a project that seeks to develop a youth-focused Public Education and Outreach (PEO) strategy on climate change. The strategy seeks to provide young Kenyans understanding in the issues and support them with the knowledge, stimulus, and, most importantly, the opportunity to work together towards emissions reductions. The strategy is currently being piloted in Nairobi within Kibra Constituency and outcomes replicated in other regions of the country in three (3) phases within a period of five months. It will also be used by our members spread across the forty-seven counties to champion our issues. Currently, I am working to develop a tool to support gender mainstreaming in climate change adaptation and development planning in Kenya. I seek to identify how strategies from different institutions and different levels of government incorporate gendered climate change adaptation goals. I am also interested in understanding the extent to which stakeholders are involved in the development of various climate change adaptation strategies and whether they have a voice. I have worked with stakeholders to ensure they have access to facilitated opportunities both at the National and District levels. I hold a FIRST CLASS HONOURS DEGREE in Journalism and mass communication. currently pursuing my Masters degree in Journalism and mass communication at Chuka University, Kenya	The negative effects of climate change are already having an impact on settlements and economic areas and are consequently influencing migration movements. I come from a Lake region bordering the shores of Kenya and Uganda, in a small land enclave area in Budalang'i in Kenya and particularly it is known for its perennial floods when River Nzoia breaks its banks. I have lived through extreme weather occurrences, with frequent and intense lake level rising, sweeping homes and people, increasing the impact of disaster displacement, migration and forced relocation. For this reason, local people and communities within my home area need practice-based knowledge in order to improve their understanding of and find solutions for migration in the context of natural disasters and climate change. I want to work with my community to identify and rectify knowledge gaps and at the same time support exchange processes between locals and disseminate the knowledge gained at international meetings and through platforms. My goal is to gain new expertise while also sharing my experience back home with the many budding youth networks and organizations who are involved in the emerging field of climate mobility. There is nothing more important in professional and personal life than trying to become better every day. And to my knowledge there is no other better initiative like the Africa Climate Mobility initiative that offers such an opportunity to understand emerging real climate-related migration issues that is critical for understanding the processes we observe in our socio-ecological systems at such a deep level that ultimately informs policies and programs. My background lies in researching and pursuing stories, appearing on air, writing copy, unfailingly meeting all deadlines, and producing energizing content that can induce audience attention and invigorate participation and interest in current affairs. I have the skills to help educate the public upon completion of attendance of COP27 on environmental conservation, youth advocacy and other climate change mitigation issues by helping to develop informational materials that advocates environmental and climate change responses. The rapidly growing body of youth advocates and activists exploring climate induced migration is itself an inspiration and I want to join this movement of diverse personalities providing innovative solutions and ideas on this complex topic of climate mobility and provide suggestions for engagement with current trends and practices in the field of climate mobility. I possess relevant professional experience at the national and regional levels in macro-critical climate-related policy work or specialized experience in one or more of the areas below: Developing strategies for optimizing the organization’s natural resource usage given current understandings of climate change impacts, for example, potential risks to and consequences of the organization’s use of energy, water, and land. I would also like to mention that the opportunity will allow me to get to know a bit about other cultures as well, by getting along with other fellows coming from around East, West and Central Africa and the World. In this case, the initiative will attract talented, smart, charismatic and proactive persons from across the continent – whom I will get to know personally and with whom I will establish a strong contact for the future.
1184	Leonie	Mills	African Youth Security Network	www.africanysn.com	Leonie is an experienced communicator and project coordinator with experience in academia, the third sector and consulting. She recently completed a prestigious fellowship for African women in Peace, Security and Development to enhance her expertise and knowledge in global affairs. Prior to this, she completed a master's degree in Security, Leadership and Society focusing on African economies, climate security and natural resources. Her Bachelor's Degree was in International Politics and Security Studies, she has always had an affinity for international relations, security and diplomacy and hopes to pursue a career in that area. Leonie’s most recent professional experience was with the African Leadership Centre as a project coordinator and researcher. She played an integral role in designing the data collection and organisation for an intergenerational review of the academic fellowship's programme. Furthermore, she led on data centralisation for the wider research team and created more efficient and cyber-safe ways to share and access important information. Due to her passion for peace, security and development on the African continent she founded an organisation called the African Youth Security Network (AYSN). The aim of the AYSN is to centre African youth in peace and security discourse through collaboration, learning and mutually beneficial education. The AYSN produces their own research on current affairs as well as creates accessible social media content and runs regular virtual events. Leonie has been able to establish an engaged and growing community of young professionals, academics and enthusiasts with the hopes of eventually influencing policy on the continent. Leonie is a multi-hyphenate but her passion to help marginalised and underrepresented groups is a common thread in all she does. She wishes to combine her creative flair, academic interests and entrepreneurial spirit to positively impact whatever community she finds herself in.	My main motivation to join this forum is because of the impact it is already having on the African continent, despite Africa producing a small percentage of emissions. As a Ghanaian I have seen first hand the impact of climate change through floods, increasing epidemics and abnormal weather patterns and this has led to whole communities being displaced. Our government has failed to suitable address or further prevent these challenges, meaning that these displaced communities have to seek new pastures without government assistance. Due to our culture, they tend to reside near coastal lands that are seeing increasing sea levels that cause a threat to their homes. Furthermore, Ghana is facing challenges with illegal mining that is polluting our waters and rivers which many rely on this for food, sanitation and agriculture. This specific issue is caused by people illegally mining for gold and the soil becomes unusable and the waste is dumped into the river. Over the past few years, there has been a noticeable deterioration of large swathes of land causing our communities to panic at the rate at which the land and water are becoming toxic. Once again leading it to be an inhabitable area where communities are forced to relocate. Those who do small-scale farming and agriculture are unable to continue and end up succumbing to their land to these illegal miners in order to make ends meet, Through my organisation, young people come to share and discuss the effects of climate change in their context. Through personal and professional experiences it provides them with a space to consult with other young Africans in similar positions. It is here where ideas are exchanged and people learn about the ways in which they are able to tackle climate change mobility. I hope to expand my knowledge and awareness of sustainable solutions that are being employed by other Africans. I also hope to network and meet with other like-minded young people who wish to tackle this problem.
1185	Osbone Antonio	Maquival	Osbone Antonio Maquival	https://web.facebook.com/AJADMozambique/	My name is Osbone António Maquival, I am a member of the Child Rights League and a social and environmental activist in Mozambique. I am the founder of an organization called Association to Support the Development of Children and Youth (AJAD) with the mission of creating spaces for children to be new young leaders as a way of establishing greater social justice in order to help them be able to participate in the transformation of their development and that of their community, as well as grow in care of the environment in which they inhabit. And I currently occupy the position of CCP (country contact point) of COY17.	As an activist I have carried out several campaigns on environmental issues, with emphasis on the most recent one that we have developed on world cleaning day, highlighting the following themes: Impact of waste pollution, initiation to world cleaning day, education for cleaning, zero waste from home and circular economy. Note that this campaign we have done in different places such as markets, schools and even universities in order to reach a larger target group. And there is also another experience developed by my organization which is about children's education about the climate, this activity is directly linked to children in which we educate them about the environment in particular how to take care of the coastal areas that have been devastated within the city of Quelimane . This activity we did with a target group of children who live in schools close to areas affected by erosion and that erosion of areas that hit residential areas with high tide. In addition to the activities described above, it should be noted that the city of Quelimane has several areas with serious problems of non-potable water, where people consume water from artisanal wells, which puts people's health at risk. This year I had the privilege of participating in MERCIM (Improving Local Climate Resilience in Mozambique) which promotes climate resilience through local action via support from the European Union, Catalan Agency for Development Cooperation and UNCDF. This program is designed to strengthen the capacity of local governments to improve the delivery of climate-resilient basic services to rural communities and improve decision-making processes based on local knowledge. Mozambique is especially vulnerable to the effects of Climate Change due to its geographical location in the inter-tropical convergence zone and downstream of shared river basins, its long coastline and the existence of extensive areas with altitude below the current sea level. with this, I hope from this conference to learn questions that can help my country, particularly in the city where I am in the fight over climate change. I hope to make ways this is to create the Schools for Climate Movement, the aim of connecting and inspiring institutions committed to education and climate action as well as strengthening early childhood climate education so that children develop a spirit of social change in particular in the fight against climate change. . And also involve the community in general in the causes of climate change and also in the fight for the well-being of the environment.

A highly motivated, enthusiastic and devoted person who has been raised based on hard work and creativity to make the changing world a livable place for every kind of being. My zeal for promoting environmental Sustainability, moves me to work and take challenges under no supervision. I am result-oriented, self-driven and I can develop and maintain effective and cordial work relations for the excellent results and service delivery. My career vision is: Inspired to give my best to improve livelihoods through sustainable environment and climate actions while promoting environmental and social safeguards for present and future generations. I posses key skills and competences in: • Planning and Organizational skills: I am experienced in planning, organization and facilitation of Environmental Education, Community awareness and advocacy programmes involving a different range of audience and participants • Strong communication skills: I am quite skilled in presentations, negotiations, team building and report writing for uptake of new innovations. I am proficient in English, Kiswahili and elementary in Kenyan Sign Language. • Data collection and Data analysis: Skilled in data collection and data analysis techniques such as KoBO tool, ArcGIS, GIS, SPSS, and Advanced Excel. • Proposal and Concepts Development skills: I am experienced in Proposal development for donor funding for various projects • Analytical skills: Ability to analyze, assess and calculate the risks involved and finding solutions by using logical reasoning. • ICT competence: Working knowledge of MS Office, SPSS, Advanced excel, internet, and emails.

I am an Environmentalist by passion and profession. I was born and raised in the rural areas of Makueni County, Kenya which is a Arid and Semi-Arid Area, that has been hit by impacts of climate change, which is the major environmental problem of our time. The climate change is affecting all people and ecosystems equally and therefore nothing is proof to this menace. Local communities, like where I live are most vulnerable to climate variability and the extreme events that comes as a result. They have low to no adaptive capacity, because of there over reliance to the rain-fed agriculture for their livelihoods. A lot of local communities are yet to adopt the best climate actions that can build their resilient to adverse impacts of climate change, because of inadequate awareness and also low capacity to take up the climate smart innovations. Farmers are moving into the protected areas for farming and other illegal practices like illegal logging, poaching, massive charcoal burning among others just for their upkeep and cater for their basic needs. Consequently, a large number of Youths has migrated to urban areas in search for employment to earn a living, a situation which is making them face a lot of psychosocial and mental issues since the jobs are not coming forth for them. This has led to a lot of the young people indulging in drug use and substance abuse as they seek to relieve themselves of stress. Hence, having witnessed all this in my locality and nation, I want to enhance the awareness I am currently creating among the youths and the local communities at large of adopting the best environmental and climate action practices that will build their resilience against the impacts of the climate change without having to move to other areas. Therefore, the COP 27 forum is an avenue for me to engage a lot of people, share and learn on different skills, knowledge, climate experiences and best practices that have worked well for adoption by our communities. And this motivates me, with a lot of zeal and love for the youngsters reach out to Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) to support me and have as a Youth Forum delegate and I will passionately ACT! #YouthinClimateActions.

He has received several leadership awards and citation in regards to his leadership and academic prowess.	Dear sir/madam, I'm writing to express my interest for applying to become an ACMI youth delegate for cop27.I grew up in Akatsi Dzrakate, a part of Ghana known for its beautiful forests and evergreen farm lands. My first act as a climate activist was planting my first tree when i was seven. I’m passionate about the environment because I was lucky enough to be able to connect with nature when I was young, and as long as I can remember I was angered by environmental injustices whenever I saw them, like people cutting down trees , polluting our rivers and hunting every now and then ,the young wild aniaml spices. So I thought to myself, why not try to help other young people to be more conscious of the environment but unfortunately as God may have it i never got the opportunity to advocate my passion for this initiative as at that particular time until few yesrs later. Before now I saw farmers and herdsmen fighting because their land is becoming more arid. I saw communities who had never faced flooding having their farm lands swept away, and I lost my puppies during a heatwave unlike anyone had experienced before. After my senior high school in 2013, due to financial constraints to further my tertiary education, i had to return to the village to farm, make some money in orther to fund my tertiary education and also take the opportunity to visit communities, schools, religious places and public places to speak to people about the climate crisis and how important environmental justice can be for their communities. I encourage people to plant trees and educate their peers.It does not matter what race, sex, tribe, country or age anyone is. Everyone can get involved in the fight for climate justice. What matters most is where we are going and what we want to achieve. A new report estimates that by 2050 climate risks could cause damage worth $3.9 billion in Ghana’s transport sector. But the report also offers a roadmap that could prevent the worst from happening. It also highlights extensive efforts by the government to counter climate risks. Is of this view that i humbly the approval of this application so i could air my voice and contribute to my dear afraica's development .

Young Drive is an upcoming organization whose initiative seeks to empower young people with skills through training . It's due to this initiative on impacting communities , that I came up with a project called BeCool Battery Box that I am currently working on. This battery box is a an ecofriendly rechargeable voltage regulator with embedded solar rechargeable kit that can help the people who have the problem to energy access and it can act as clean generator in case the electricity is gone for short period. Now we are currently designing prototype for offgrid of this solar panel. We are seeking for partnership on this project. I'm also ITU Hachathon for digital skills Champion 2022. I'm now also a member of YOUNGO which is is the official Children and Youth Constituency of the UNFCCC (YOUTH + NGO = YOUNGO).	It is a such a great pleasure share you my motivation to apply to this opportunity to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 in Egypt. I'm to grateful to find this opportunity bring young people on the table of decision makers in the finding a solution to the Climate change crisis. I was born in era of unprecedented technology,innovation and disruption, where climate crisis is not taken as serious issue.As I come of the age,I want to be able to enjoy the digital world fully and safely but Im too scared of what climate will we have in 2045 with this action we are making right now. Through that I become a green warrior to make our earth green to fight for our planet and plant the trees in my cities especially those places where are many people and homes As for now we are not the decision makers but we believe that through the use of social media and the community building to fight against climate change mitigation we can influence the decision makers to take a lead in finding the decision for the climate change mitigation crisis Our climate is changing. Temperatures are rising and devastating extremes of weather are becoming ever more common. The world has proved slow to respond, with mitigation plans falling far short of what is needed to preserve the planet and young people is the part of this solution because we are the one who will face our today's action we are making right now. We are all affected. No matter who you are, or where you live, climate change will impact upon your life. But those with the greatest vulnerabilities are likely to bear the greatest burden: and the most vulnerable are the world’s children. The climate crisis has sparked a crisis of mobility: Around the world, in 2019 alone, some 23.9 million people were involuntarily displaced by weather-related disasters. That dwarfs the 8.5 million people displaced by the factors we so often associate with migration and displacement: conflict and violence. Climate crisis is real and youth must be a part of the solution.

Understanding that man has entirely survived on the provision of nature for food, water, shelter, medicine and most of all the real life happiness, having been born and grown in a village that has entirely survived on nature. I have got to learn that this is something that we need to let everyone know about. The desire to live in a natural world and learn how climate change can bring about life change has given me the enough motivation to participate in such important activities that I'm sure will be important for me and the entire people. I would love to be a champion for this.

She is passionate about disease prevention, control, health promotion and community life amelioration. The frequent outbreaks of pandemics and epidemics fueled Ethel's curiosity to find out the relationship between these outbreaks and the population. After studies and research, Ethel got to discover that human activities linked to environmental factors play a crucial role in the outbreak of these diseases. Presently Ethel is part of the African Civic Engagement Academy cohort for 2022 and she is required to submit a Civic Engagement plan addressing an issue of utmost concern in her community and propose solutions. Ethel has decided to work on Climate change and health vulnerability. That is how her journey towards the fight against climate change started.

All in all Ross just wants to leave a mark in the world by making it better but most importantly living a purposeful and intentional life.	When I was in primary school, I learnt about the environment, how to conserve it and what would happen if it is not conserved. The term global warming was thrown around a lot and I was taught about its effects, but back then it was only an abstract construct. As a young adult it is quite unreal and unfathomable to me that global warming is now a reality and it is a very huge conundrum in the present times. It feels I am living in a post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie where the end is nigh. As a student I learnt about how to conserve the environment through proper waste disposal, reusing and recycling. Around me, a lot of people litter, then they wonder why we have no rain and have the audacity to complain that the environment is dirty. The effect of the shortage of rainfall is being felt in most parts of Kenya, with over four million people facing starvation and a lot of people are forced to move in search of food and water. What can be done to remedy the situation? We need to educate the masses on ways to properly get rid of waste, afforestation, re-afforestation, planting trees and not encroaching forests. Knowledge is power and being literate will help people know the benefits and effects of environmental conservation and the consequences of the lack thereof. In campus, I would tell my classmates to put their garbage in my bag so that they do not throw it out in the open. This trend inspired people to throw garbage in the bin. I am big on environmental conservation, and I educate people through in-person and online discussions on the environment. My motivation to apply for COP27 is that it will give me a platform to voice my ideas and also learn from my peers and the facilitators to build on my knowledge. By being a delegate I will be the embodiment of being the change I want to see in the world, as an environmentalist. This will be a true achievement of purpose and in the words of former U.S president Barrack Obama, yes we can and given the chance I will.

In her second year of study she had an opportunity to go to a field work at Tanzania Fisheries Research Institute (TAFIRI) in Mwanza region, Tanzania where she got experience in several fisheries activities such as fishing in lake Victoria and learning about aquaculture practices. She is a member of an organization called Sustainable Ocean Alliance (SOA), where she gets involved in several environmental conservation and management issues and participate in several beach clean ups event and educating people on how to conserve our environment. She was a volunteer in a company called Aquatech feed and consultance company, where she gained more experience in aquaculture works, selling aquaculture feeds to fish farmers and advise them on the best way of fish farming without polluting the environment. She was able to participate in Tanzania census which was conducted this august, 2022 and get hired as census clerk, where she get the chance of being part of collecting statistics that would bring about development in Tanzania. She is currently working as an assistance sales person in a company called Axxon movers company limited which provides several services such as moving office and home equipment, storage services, distribution services and selling of laboratory reagents.	The issue of climate change has become a biggest challenge and is affecting the entire planet where the most impacts are being felt the most in developing countries. Climate change is threatening human prosperities by increasingly causing food insecurity, jobs loss and ecosystem malfunction. Addressing climate change requires a multidisciplinary approach and players discuss and find solutions on how to tackle the climate change problem. I grew up near the ocean where I used to love going with friends to enjoy nature. By then I would find beautiful beaches adjacent to intact ecosystems such as sea grasses and mangrove trees. As I kept growing older I realised beaches have now lost their aesthetic values by being turned into dumping sites, I was very hurt to see unprecedented mangroves cut and seagrass uprooting through illegal fishing methods such as beach seines and urbanisation all these have led to coastal erosion which threaten saltwater intrusion in residential areas.. In order for me to contribute towards solving this challenge I decided to pursue undergraduate studies by enrolling into the field of aquatic science to better understand how water resource in particular the ocean plays key role in climate regulation. It was during this time that I was able to convince my colleagues to actively participate in conservation and community awareness campaigns through various projects by joining Sustainable Ocean Alliance hub in Tanzania (SOA) which is a part of global change over natural environment and is against all marine and land based pollution In Tanzania where I grew up the environment is faced by a chronic plastic pollution which affect marine habitats, species and ecosystems including mangroves and seagrasses thereby impairing their ecosystem and economic services. So when I decided to do my final project assessing microplastics in sardines(fish) to see how much this plastic have affect the ocean and its resources such as fish. Sardines are main fish species consumed in Tanzania mostly by low income commnuities, therefore understanding the level of plastic pollution was important to safeguard consumers’ health. Microplastics pollution have the ability to interfere with the reproduction of microscopic plants (phytoplankton) which are the main reasons why the ocean is one of the biggest natural carbon sinks as they play a huge role in the world’s carbon cycle absorbing about as much carbon as all plants and trees in land combined. Estimates from Plastic Europe shows that 400million metric tons of plastic items being produced annually consuming over 7% of global oil production. Initiatives to promote community awareness on alternative to plastic items could save our planet from global warming. Most importantly engaging community through citizen science approaches are starting to paying off . As an environmental activist, COP 27 will give me a chance to actively participate in negotiation, information exchange with colleagues and experts which will have positive impacts on climate change issues and help the planet to become a better place.

1205	BRONSON	ERAN'OGWA	THE SOURCE PLUS	https://thesourceplus.org/	My name is Bronson Eran’ogwa, experienced in project management with a demonstrable history of working in the agricultural innovation industry. Skilled in IT, research, business development and project management. An actuarial science graduate from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology as well as trained and proficient in computer network security from Cybrary Institute. Recognized for collaborative leadership style, active approach and keen ability to effectively translate complex operational concepts into tangible action plans. I am passionate about innovation, agriculture, humanity and the leaders behind making the world green for the good of the larger community. I envision a world where all people despite their race, political affiliation, gender and age in any part of the globe, hold power to ignite and create opportunities for themselves. As a result I am the co-founder of The Source plus out of which various independent initiatives have sprouted. My focus is on networking, exploration and scientific refinement solutions to solve the current global crisis (Food security and Climate change). In the process I have had the privilege to build diverse communities both in agriculture, agribusiness and innovation out of which I have had prolific life changing opportunities and built relationships across the world. Recently, set up a consortium ‘Africa Honey Consortium’ that has brought together a large membership across Africa and global partnerships in bee keeping and honey production with the added tangent that features bees as one of the most effective pollinators that improve the quality of grown food and in climate change. The initial concern setting up was effectively mobilizing communities and translating a universal context to a panafric and global audience who function in diverse languages. However, through leveraging on previous relations in past projects, was able to rope in significant players in the industry globally as well as engage partners that aided in the translation of multi-media content. Additionally, having in place preparation plans enabled the team to roll out a successful inaugural event commemorating World Bee day 2021 attended by more than 200 participants from across the world. The success was largely attributed to inclusive collaboration where all parties have an opportunity to participate in creating global solutions. Having a track record of success in practical project implementation and co-authored publications that offer evidence based approaches has also been a factor of success in validating theory into practice.	Climate Change knows no boundary, in order to mitigate this changes, we need to work together. As a young African leader I want to achieve equality in my community and that everyone is has a right to live in a good environment. This program is will be an exceptional opportunity, where I can meet other fellow African leaders, who are performing in their community. I will benefit from knowledge and skills that will enable me to develop a strong network, curriculum/training material, policies and scientific refinement solutions to solve the current Climate change issues in ensuring agricultural, community & climate sustainability in Africa. Also currently am hoping to develop a collaborative leadership style, and active approach in programs we are implementing, develop incubation Centers in Kenya Agroforestry value chains, and work efficiently with Youth and women empowerment programs/ initiatives in partnerships with tertiary institutions. Through the programme am hoping to gain relevant experiences will enable me to grow and to widen my understanding of climate change. Lastly, am also hoping to contribute and share my knowledge at COP27 if given the opportunity.

While the impact of climate change is felt globally, the local communities within Nigeria suffer greatly from this environmental threat. I will love to live in a world where the effects of climate is reduced that is why I engage in sensitisation workshops and seminars to the local communities about so negative practices that can lead to climate deterioration and the ways to avoid same.	The ACMI Youth Forum provides a platform for young persons to interact, learn and share ideas on the negative impacts of climate change and the ways to avoid or reduce them. I will love to contribute my wealth of knowledge and experience while learning from many other activists who will be on ground to share their stories and experiences. The youths need interactive gatherings like this to better network and build sustainable relationships with like minds who will continually rally together to create and sustain the drive towards the reduction of the effects of climate change. The effects of climate mobility is well felt in the Niger-Delta region of Nigeria. The rising sea currents has cause a lot of floods within local riverine settlements and communities with a poor drainage system. Also, the floods have resulted in gully erosions which threaten residential buildings and force the occupants to migrate to safer locations. This has been a common occurrence within some local communities and metropolitan centres of Akwa Ibom State in Nigeria.

1211	Michelle	Chikurunhe	Global youth panel for Education in Emergencies (Plan International )	https://plan-uk.org/youth-for-education-in-emergencies	My name is Michelle Varaidzo Tarumbidzwa Chikurunhe , I come from one of the high density suburbs in the capital city of Zimbabwe . I am a soft spoken and ambitious young woman aged 22, whom most describe as a social butterfly. Having seen first hand the sad realities and experiences that young women like myself go through due to poverty and lack of education, this developed in me a great passion to better the lives of young girls and women by advocating for their right to education and any empowerment opportunities . Education has proven to be the poverty cycle breaker, a fact that I witnessed when I served as Junior Councilor for my ward at the Harare City Junior Council in 2016-2017. I was also the Team President for Boost Enactus club in Africa for my university, Women’s University in Africa which gave me the opportunity to work with young women and girls and young man with income generating projects and initiatives that provided them with a stable income and livelihood. Seeing the smiles and appreciation from fellow young women like myself gave me the reason to major and attain a degree in Social Work. I am also part of a youth led organization that works under Plan International which aim is to empower young people and protects them from any harm through providing them entrepreneurial skills and opportunities to decent work and income. Last year I was also part of EWAG 2021 young advocates for improving the lives of young people.Lastly but not least this year I have been granted the opportunity to be one of the young people under the Global youth Panel and recently been selected as a member of the UNGEI Ferminist Coalition.I am grateful and excited to be part of this life changing initiative as I finally have the platform to voice out my views and rights on the behalf of all those beautiful young girls in this world for they are worthy and deserving of this opportunity.	My motivation for applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 is because I believe Climate change is a huge threat to education especially towards young girls and young women, and I want to contribute in way possible to ensure the damage on education is minimized and managed.In Zimbabwe particularly when cyclone came in Chimanimani most families lost their farms and because of being a rural setting that was their source of income which provided young people funds towards school but because of those floods poverty arised and a chance towards school was taken away. Most young women became victims of sexual abuse because of the displacement and depressing status of the situation and were forced to stay in the hands of the pepatrators because they had nowhere to go. Because of my line of work I have met young people who have migrated from disaster affected areas seeking a better life in urban areas but most became victims of drug abuse, prostitution destroying their lives. Children and young people where displaced from their homes and schools in which some lost their parents and guardians which took a negative mental toll on them and became hopeless towards the future and victims to social ills that rob them off their lives. I Advocate for young people and children especially girls for their right to education during and after emergencies which are caused by climate change hence my role as the Global Youth delegate for education in emergencies Zimbabwe . The youth led organization I work with has enabled me to work with young women who were displaced and are now teen mothers to access youth economic empowerment so as to give them hope and a stable income through money generating projects they wish for.

He is a Diploma holder in Journalism and Public Relations obtained at the Zambia Institute of mass Communication (ZAMCOM) with wider experience in reporting dynamics and also including climate change resilience and adaptation. Chimwemwe is part of young people working government through the Ministry of Green Economy and Environment on the development of a strategy and implementation plan of a Green Economy in Lusaka. He has obtained certificates in Cooperate Governance, Social Protection Reporting, agro-ecology and food sovereignty, women led emergency preparedness, climate change resilience and adaptation among other basic trainings with support from Action Aid Zambia and the Swedish International Development agency SIDA. He is part of the team that advocated for the Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights SRHR under the Comic Relief Queen Elizabeth Queens young leaders’ fire starter initiative QYLFSI in 2019 and 2020. He also advocated for strengthening equal participation of male and female in local governance with support from the Swedish International Development Agency SIDA in 2019-2020. Being a youth activist , Chimwemwe has effectively participated in international events such as the International Union of Conservation of nature IUCN in Tanzania on sustainable land use planning. He has raised community awareness on crop diversification and biodiversity as part of the Global Environmental Facility GEF with funding from the United Nations Development plan UNDP. This has led to the paradigm shift from dependency on the lake for sustainable livelihood. He has also attended the youth consultative meeting for the migration of refugees as part of the delegation team in Kampala, Uganda 2019 as an initiative of the African Governance Architecture AGA with support from the European Union. This widely reflected on both the political and humanitarian solutions towards the plight of refugees. Mpulungu being a porous border with an influx of refugees, he has interacted with a number of asylum seekers from war struck areas, the Democratic Republic of Congo DRC and Burundi on climate changeability and how they adapt to new environments. This also borders on the refugee defects or flaws that affect their relocation. Chimwemwe Simpito has also advocated and sensitized masses along the Lake basin on the FISH4ACP Kapenta value chain, owing to the existing fact that due to unpredictable weather patterns causing droughts in some areas, there has been intense pressure on Lake Tanganyika leading to fish depletion on some parts. As Climate Change activist, Chimwemwe has been working with Lake Tanganyika Development Project to raise awareness about the importance of upholding integrity of ecosystem through art and community theater . He has implemented the Open Society initiative for Southern Africa OSISA with a primary focus on addressing women sustainability through adaptation to climate change by promoting best practices such as forestation, sustainable land use and access to land ownership.	I am a 30 year old Zambian journalist who is highly motivated and self driven young person with the ability to adapt and learn new things. With my strong inter-personal skills, I have developed passion to combat climate change looking at its negative impact on the environment. I hold a Diploma in Journalism and Public Relations , one of the reputable higher learning institutions in the country and have channeled the strength to climate change by pushing the reforms that might be of significance in promoting climate justice for all. I have implemented a number of projects in relation to climate change aimed at securing climate justice, and as a young person, my principle line has been circling around youth and women led emergency preparedness. I have also worked with the Lake Tanganyika Development Program LTDP raising awareness on crop diversification and integrated land use planning on the Lake Tanganyika basin and the upper land, advocating for proper and sustainable utilization of Natural Resource on Lake Tanganyika. Since women are the most affected by climate change, I have strongly advocated for skills development (Agro-ecology) that enables women to participate and compete effectively in issues surrounding climate change and come up with best agricultural practices. Women now have access to land ownership and are using their acquired skills and knowledge to apply best agriculture practices and methods that are adaptive to climate change resilience. A significant factor in the success of my advocacy work and working relationship with government and stakeholders has been new and effective ways of collecting data, monitoring targets and measuring progress on climate mobility and resilient livelihood especially for the asylum seekers from the war torn countries, Democratic Republic of Congo DRC and Burundi. My advocacy work has applied the principle of ownership where the targeted beneficiaries women and youth are chiefly responsible on how to combat climate change based on their own priorities, needs and stage of development. I have effectively participated in international events such as the International Union of Conservation of nature IUCN in Tanzania on sustainable land use planning. I have been involved in community awareness on crop diversification and biodiversity as part of the Global Environmental Facility GEF and United Nations Development Programme UNDP. This has led to the paradigm shift from dependency on the lake for sustainable livelihood. I have also attended the youth consultative meeting for the migration of refugees as part of the delegation team in Kampala, Uganda 2019 as an initiative of the African Governance Architecture AGA with support from the European Union. Mpulungu being a porous border with an influx of refugees, I have interrelated with a number of asylum seekers from war struck areas, the Democratic Republic of Congo DRC and Burundi on climate changeability and how they acclimatize to new environments. On a broader perspective, I have sensitized refugees especially children and women on their Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights and where they can access these services. I feel motivated to be a delegate for this forthcoming Africa Climate Mobility Initiative so that , i can learn and share my experience in this crusade .This will also help me plan effectively when it comes to climate mobility .

Currently running my master's in soil environmental pollution and management. Was the Vice President of the Ecovanguard community development service during my national youth service in 2019-2020 which was born out of a passion for a more healthy environment and improved climate. Have worked with a lot of climate sustainability groups as a volunteer most notably susty vibes.	My passion for the environment has always been in me but was awakened during my university days. Having studied soil science I did my internship at the school farm where I saw a lot of deterioration at the farm due to environmental hazards. This brought out the passion in me to always remind people that we all are responsible for these hazards and we can only have a healthy environment if we all take responsibility. I proceeded with that passion to serve at the ministry of environment in Bayelsa to know better about the policies regarding the environment if any and why they are not implemented. And having discovered that they are policies that are not implemented strengthened my point on how we ought to be conscious of the health of our environment to avoid future climatic disasters. With my passion for the environment, I was posted to the ecology vanguards community development service where I was selected as the vice president. As a team of learned people we took it upon ourselves to sensitize the community and went further to provide static waste beans for them to dispose and recycle dirt appropriately. I am delighted to have come across such a platform where I can further learn about ways to have a sustained healthy environment because I believe this opportunity will open me to a greater well of knowledge regarding the environment.

During my study I have acquired vast knowledge on issues of climate and climate change. I love creating awareness to my community on the importance of planting trees and keeping the water sources clean. I have volunteered in most youth projects in our community for clean up sessions. I have a group of four boys who we go collecting house wastes from our neighbors instead of them dumping on the river. I am a good mobilizer and mostly group my neighbors and start cleaning the ditches around. I am a team builder and believe in groups, when paired in groups everyone comes up with an idea and a different way on how the value ideas.	Trees attract rain and rain provide water a basic need that we will perish if we lack. I love nature and the gifts it brings. We used to plant trees in school and I was always happy when doing this exercise. I love giving knowledge to my friends and relatives on the importance of tree since it will take some minutes to cut down a tree but forever for it to grow. The harsh African climate has been brought about by lack of rain. People are cutting down trees for domestic and commercial use. We can not keep ignoring this fact since it will bring problems in the future. We need to create awareness and plant as many trees as possible.

Climate Change is currently the major problem affecting the world , the sadly change in climate is as a result of air pollution from industrialization and household pollutants, water pollution from mining industry and inappropriate disposal of waste in our water bodies, land degradation as a result of unnecessary deforestation without afforestation, excessive used of inorganic fertilizer by farmers, mining activities, poor culture practice by most farmers such as bush fire, over greezen and more others, I believe that since knowledge about the root causes of climate change, when I had opportunity to become an ACMI youth Forum delegate for COP27 I will learn more about climate change and it impact on farmers and the world at large through educating the farmers and the society at large especially the youth and together we can solve the issues of climate change.

She currently serves as a USAID YouthLead Ambassador, a role wherein she coordinates advocacy activities at grassroots level on climate action and environmental protection and youth inclusion. She was among the four young climate leaders from across the world featured in the Netherlands leading newspaper “NRC Handelsbald” in 2021 and was amongst the 5 young women in climate featured by the Africa Union Youth Program 2022 to celebrate May which is the International Women’s Month.	Having participated at the Africa Climate Week, 2022, and attended the side event on ‘Human Mobility and Green Economy Development in a Changing Climate in West and East Africa’, I got to realize that specific attention is given to how climate resilient economic development and green economy opportunities could reduce the need to migrate, as well as provide opportunities for migrants and how this can be achieved. Therefore, from the knowledge acquired and experience gotten, I am motivated to become an ACMI Youth Forum Delegate for COP27 because I look forward to contributing to the enhancement of dialogue and action among stakeholders addressing the challenges and opportunities arising from climate-related migration as well as the regional green economy transition. Also, as an ACMI Youth Delegate at COP27, it will be a veritable opportunity for me to contribute in amplifying youth ideas in discussions to accelerate the development of regular migration pathways, promote sustainable development and improve the inclusion of vulnerable groups in the green economy transition in the context of a changing climate. I have experience relating to climate mobility as part of a UNICEF-commissioned team of researchers tasked to carry out research in the 10 regions of Cameroon, most especially in the areas most affected by the climate crisis and war being the North West and South West Regions and the 3 Northern region of Cameroon. This was done in order to evaluate the effects of the climate change and extreme weather related hazards on vulnerable local communities which included displacement and forced migration. After carrying out this research, we consolidated the results into a single document called the Child Risk and Impact Analysis Report which was validated by the government of Cameroon, United Nations Agencies such as United Nations High Commission for Refugees, International Labour Organisation, UNESCO, other international organizations like the Norwegian Refugee Council, Catholic Relief Service, and local Non-Governmental Organizations. This report indicates that climate change and weather related hazards have devastating effects on sectors like child protection, health, nutrition and WASH, education, livelihood. This report is therefore meant to guide and facilitate actionable policies, considering that shaping mobility in Cameroon depends on policy on the ground, and placing communities and people at the centre of reducing vulnerabilities.

My aim is to halt the drastic loss of biodiversity in order to preserve it for future generations. Especially the younger generations must make their voices heard.	With over 49% of the global population being under the age of 30, the youth voice in decision making processes in response to the triple planetary crisis is more important than ever. We cannot be allowed to continue to live unsustainably and must scale up game-changing solutions. This includes doing more to ensure that youth, as key stakeholders, are engaged so that we do not inadvertently leave anyone behind. I'm working to find innovative solutions against climate change, Biodiversity loss and pollution, and gather the next generation of decision-makers. I've trained myself to address and anticipate emerging climate change and biodiversity loss issues. I hope to be an ACMI Youth Forum delegate, so I can strengthen the international Climate justice movement and positively influence change by attending the COP27.

Well-executed research, to me, developed from a mere hobby, into this breathtaking adventure that nurtures not only self-confidence, but compassion, perseverance, excellence, and discipline.	Public speaking is the art of persuasion. It is the unification of identifying the demand of an individuals community and utilising artistic-expression to allure those pendulous-eyes. Climate mobility could only be strategically executed through collective cooperation and mutual benefits.

Burkina Faso, a landlocked country with a tropical climate and low rainfall, faces many consequences of climate change, including flooding, loss of huge areas of scarce plant cover, extinction of certain plant and animal species, and famine with periods of hunger (severe lack of food) every year. By applying for this opportunity, it is to learn from others and share the Burkinabe experience in terms of the fight against climate change. The situation is worrying and we are at the crossroads of history for a possible rescue of our common good that is Planet Earth and we must act mutually and urgently. The alternative Nobel Prize 2018 Yacouba SAWADOGO also CHAMPION'S OF EARTH 2020 has quickly understood it by creating a baobab forest in the middle of the desert and in difficult climatic conditions. My motivation is also that of this man who has dedicated a good part of his life to the fight for a healthy environment. It is necessary to include gender and vulnerable groups in the decision-making process because they are the first victims of climate change. This will be an opportunity for me to make a plea to political decision-makers for more equity.
1226	Ramy	Yacoub			I'm a young climate change professional proud of belonging to the indigenous people of Egypt. I grew up in a small city in delta Egypt; a region facing extreme threats of inundation. I had the chance of pursuing an education in the UK and I've been gaining considerable momentum in my climate change career since I settled back in the MENA region a few years ago. I've had a number of interesting work experiences with organisations like UNIDO and RCREEE, a few consultancies and several initiatives with the likes of USAID, UNDP and UNICEF. I’ve worked alongside the former UNFCCC national focal point in Egypt who was also the lead negotiator on behalf of G77 and China. I also have technical expertise focusing mainly on L&D, articles 6,7 and 9 of the Paris Agreement, IPCC reports, BURs and article 65 of the Glasgow climate pact. I was chosen among only 12 other professionals from all over the world to represent the MENA region in UNIDO’s Global Youth Advisory Group. My team and I are responsible for publishing UNIDO’s Youth Guidebook as part of the UN Youth Strategy 2030. I hold a bachelor's degree in engineering from the University of Manchester in the UK and postgraduate certificate in Sustainable Business from Harvard Business School in addition to certificates from IRENA, UNFCCC YOUNGO in Climate Finance and Oxford School of Climate Change. I'm a member of YOUNGO and SDG7 Youth Constituency and I recently spoke at the high-level Aswan Forum African Youth Leaders Roundtable, Egypt's Climatech Run Youth Panel and UNIDO's COP27 Youth Expert Group Meeting and Webinars. I was featured on the career spotlight newsletter of the British University in Egypt (BUE) for my work as the Project Manager of Climathon; an EU project that aimed to foster youth innovation and raise climate awareness in Egypt's local governorates/remote areas benefiting underrepresented groups. I also recently received an honorary award from Cairo University for my contribution to climate change in Egypt this year.	I recently attended the ACMI Youth Forum and was truly inspired especially by the talk of Laura Schmid. I'm considering pursuing a phD in climate mobility next year and attending COP27 in relation to the topic as an ACMI Youth delegate will be extremely beneficial to my case. I would also like to join the advocacy forces of my fellow young African leaders and I reckon I can be of benefit due to my on-going climate activism in the region and decent social media presence. As for my experience relating to climate mobility, I'm currently in talks with IOM Egypt and might start a full-time position working on climate-induced migration and displacement soon. I have good knowledge on climate mobility but have not yet had a chance to pursue the topic on a full-time basis due to being a young professional who is just starting to figure out how I want my career to look like.

I am interested applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 because I am very curious about pursing change to contribute to the developmental agenda of my community, country and the world at large. I want to attend the COP 27 to be climate developmental oriented and have full capacities of skills to contribute to my country, Liberia with what I will learn from the summit. I believed this summit will empower potential person like me to take action in creating a striving community, and provides me the blueprint for cultural future in reducing vulnerability through learning and working in others emerging leaders in related climate projects in our communities I will also believe this program this will give me a chance to deepen in leadership and educational knowledge in climate change to undertake projects, host youth climate conference with the knowledge gather to inspire my peers to be directly involve with climate activism. I believe our society places great value on mobility. A well-developed infrastructure and flexible, reliable systems of transport are fundamental requirements for a functioning economy. The negative effects of climate change are already having an impact on settlements and economic areas and are consequently influencing migration movements as well. Moreover, extreme climate occurrences have become even more frequent and intense.

An organization in Accra Ghana that is committed to creating climate change awareness and its adaptation, sustainable livelihood and development in Africa. AFCCSD also addresses the knowledge gap in new technologies to boost the adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices whiles increasing the productivity and livelihood of smallholder farmers. Francis holds BSc. Degree in Environmental Science, and other certificates in Open Data Management in Agriculture, Nutrition and Land from Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition (GODAN). Certificates in Management Strategies for People and Resource- Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI), Introduction to International Environmental Law - United Nation’s Environmental Law and Convention (InforMEA), National Adaptation Plan: Building Climate Resilience in Agriculture-United Nations Institute for Training and Research (Unitar), Geneva Switzerland. He has a demonstrated programming experience in SPSS, Matlab and ArcGIS. Championing climate change adaptation and mitigation, and promoting food security has been his major focus over the past years, this made him accomplished the following • Planted one thousand (1000) tree seedlings in Dawhenya in May, 2022. This project had a long-term goal of building environmentally conscious, environmentally friendly, self-sustaining, self-reliant, poverty-free, and well-informed communities in the municipality. • Under the sponsorship of Youth Climate Council Ghana, Unicef, and Generation Unlimited, He embarked on three days climate change advocacy training program from 25th – 27th August, 2022 in the Ashaiman Municipal. This involved the training of 167 Farmers, and Agriculture Extension Agents on Smart and Climate Resilient Agriculture, and also practical training on the preparation of organic fertilizer (compost). • Created awareness to 2000 farmers on climate change and its adaptation and has trained 209 of them on how to prepare organic fertilizer (compost). • Climate change and food security project: a project that involved the participation of stakeholders and agricultural extension agents to train smallholder farmers on climate smart agricultural practices. Francis’ passion for climate change adaptation and mitigation made him sponsored by GIZ, and Make It in Africa for 2019 Afric’Up Summit in Tunisia. He was also Awarded by the Department of Agriculture-Ghana during the 36th Farmer’ Day Celebration for his innovations in the climate change space. Francis is currently among the winners of Climate Change Advocacy Seed Funding Initiative by Youth Climate Council Ghana in partnership with Unicef, and Generation Unlimited.	Participating in the COP27 will be my dream come through since it will give me the opportunity to contribute towards the aims of the ACMI which is to protect those on the move; and further the resilience of African communities confronting the climate crisis. As the Executive Director for African Foundation for Climate Change and Sustainable Development (AFCCSD), I believe that, acute shocks to global food systems and a warming climate make a terrifying and explosive combination. As the effects of climate change intensify, subsistence farmers especially in Africa are also expected to face increased food insecurity, due to their reliance on rainfed agriculture. Building farmers’ resilience to climate change and promoting climate -smart agriculture technology is very relevant at this time than never before. Been a young and determine leader I am leading my team to build an innovative climate-smart mobile app called Kuaye. The Kuaye mobile app aims to build climate resilience for food security in Africa by enabling effective monitoring of farmers and easy access to Agriculture Extension officers, and Input dealers for climate-smart solutions to address interlinked challenges of food security and climate change in the African Continent. The app will be accessed both in English and local languages. I have in my hands this innovative solution which I look forward to discussing and exhibiting during the various sessions of the program. Over seven year now, I have been actively involved in climate change adaptation, and mitigation projects including serving as a speaker for international forums such as African forum for security, peace and development organized by Peace Without Limit International Organization in USA. I have also executed countless projects in Ghana using my NGO. It will be my utmost joy to lend my voice in policy deliberation, solutions deliberations, and the constructive project analysis. I believe attending this program will provide a great platform for me and my organization to access international role relevant for the fight against one of the global canker (climate change) which is threatening global food security, economic development, health, peace etc. In addition to the aforesaid, I am looking forward to: • Learning more during the session, especially in the areas of Climate Adaptation and Resilience, and Climate Policies and Governance. • Join my voice among young people across the globe in the UN climate negotiation under the UNFCCC. • Network with like-minded people who have devoted their life to the fight against climate change, and environmental protection.

As such I served as The Gambia NDC Ambassador on the 2020 NDC Project with Care About Climate and conducted a study tour with the Ecosystem Based Adaptation Project in enhancing climate resilience. I love to use my knowledge to help future generations and educate my community on how to take action against the effects of climate change. Recently from attending the Stockholm+50 Conference and the UNDP "We Don't Have Time" in Sweden, June 2022. Currently reviewing and doing analysis for the NDC of The Gambia that is to be presented at COP27, volunteering as part of the Youth Working group to take part at LCOY Gambia for the first time prior to COP 27.	I am a young environment activist, I’ve been taking part on most of environmental issues and working groups. Unfortunately climate mobility is one of a concern, I am part of global south and a least developed country, I I’m vulnerable to climate crisis and my community. However We’re still been denied for our voices to be heard. Today this would be a great opportunity if I’m part of the ACMI youth forum, I have my story and we need to be headcount by the leaders it scared us that we’re facing the climate reality yet it has been declared not an emergency response. In our voices our common opportunity to get climate change in responses and mitigation adaptations plans. Climate justice can only be achieved through equitable representation of youth, women, and other marginalized communities. It is unfortunate that the poverty will not allow us to be part of the events, we should not be left behind together to a successful future generation.

1233	Kauthar	van Harte	Global Alliance of Universities on Climate Change & Stellenbosch University	http://climatexleadership.gauc.net/	I am a 22 year old woman of colour hailing from Cape Town, South Africa. I completed my undergraduate studies in Development and Environmental Studies at Stellenbosch University in 2021. I am currently a Environmental Management Postgraduate Diploma candidate and I have plans to return to Stellenbosch in 2023 for my Masters in Urban and Regional Planning. I have been volunteering for a local NGO since the age of 16 working with youth in underprivileged communities on the Cape Flats. Over the last year I aimed to partake in extracurricular that would help me learn more to adapt and mitigate climate change. During the first few months of the year I was part a program called Future17 which focused on helping business being more sustainable by using the SDGs in their practices. Secondly, I participated in the South African BRICS Youth Association Model Y20. Currently, I am a global youth ambassador for the Global Alliance of Universities on Climate Change (GAUC) where I have recently finished my 'Climatex' training program. Furthermore, it is allowing me the opportunity to present my work (along with my group mates) at the Global Youth Summit (which I am one of the coordinators of) happenjng during the Global Youth Climate Week happening a week before COP27.	Over the course of my life I have always been a conservationist without even knowing it. However, due to climate change being more evident than ever it made me think how I could be a part of mitigating it. After doing an undergraduate degree which majored in geography and environmental studies, and public and development management I realised I wanted to do more to learn about adapting and mitigating climate change during my postgraduate studies. When this year began I ensured that I signed up for every climate related extracurricular that I could. The best thing about all these extracurricular were the fact that it consisted of international collaboration therefore I learnt a lot about the climate struggles in other parts of the world as well as the policies they have in place. In July I participated in the thematic forum for Climate Action and Green Development which was hosted by the World Youth Development Forum. During September I attended the first ever African Regional Forum on Climate Change hosted by Stellenbosch University. Further more I received my certification for completing the GAUC 'Climatex' leadership training. This training showed us how climate change could be adapted and mitigated through: governance and negotiation; finance; adaptation and resilience; food, nature and biodiversity; and secure and sustainable energy. I believe after all the training I have done not only this year but through my five years at university it proves that I would be an amazing candidate to represent the African Clinate Mobility Initiative as a delegate

With over 7 years of experience working on community projects while in university and right after university. Currently working with climate entrepreneurs and local community training and mentoring them on how they can develop business solutions to tackle climate change effects. With the partnership with Climate KIC from the UK, we were able to train 30 women entrepreneurs from rural areas in business. Now we have women working in groups manufacturing organic fertilizer for the farmers, we have 6 working on manufacturing biogas for the home and schools, and the rest varies from furniture designs using plastics to art and crafts. Also, I have been sensitizing the community about climate change through storytelling using arts, events radio shows and also planting trees around mount Kilimanjaro with a group of global shapers members by the World Economic Forum.	I believe in collective progress, by becoming an ACMI delegate for COP27 I believe this would be the right platform to meet and interact with other youth, who are also fighting the climate change problem. This will help me learn what has worked for other countries and if I can't implement it in my country. Also, I will share how we are fighting climate change and what has worked for us so far. I have worked with the Masai community who are known as breeders in our country and they move from one area to another, their animals have contributed to climate issues which also leads to fights with farmers, I developed a program to sensitize them first about the effects and why they should choose one area and develop it with enough food for their animal. Working with Tanzania National Parks as well on encouraging the tour operators and tourists not to use plastics in the conservation areas. Now we have even planned to use electrical cars in the national parks we are in talks with Nelson Mandela University for the design test of the first car. Recently I shifted the focus as well working with farmers and restaurant owners on how we can ensure proper food security from the farm to the restaurant. developing strategies to encourage people to think eat and save.

Worked with EU GRANT PROJECT ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF AGROFORESTRY AND FUEL WOOD CONSERVATION SYSTEM IN NORTH WEST as field extension officer. Currently Climate Change advocate leading local NGO Youths Support Against Deforestation and Environmental Degradation Y-SADED snd happily married with children.	I am writing not because I want to but because I have to, as young Nigerian of middle ages interesting in conserving environment and protecting it from degradation of any sought; I feel disturbed by remembering that Northern Nigeria is sinking into CLIMATE CHANGE crises ranging from DESERTIFICATION, EROSION, FLOODING, DEFORESTION, INCOMPLETE COMBUSTION and many more. That is why, I and my colleagues decided to form YOUTH SUPPORT AGAINST DEFORESTATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION (Y-SADED) as volunteer Non-governmental organisations to take CLIMATE ACTION in 2010; from then to date we have been contributing toward tackling environmental issues across the region. Some of our contributions are, imparting Environmental Education to Students of primary and secondary schools, Raising of Seedlings for FREE distribution to interested public, private and social institutions, career talks training on environmental issues to young foresters clubs, tree planting campaigns, Sensitization programmes to mention but few. So also I found rest of mind, when ever we celebrated International Day of Forests on 21st March annually, World Environment Day on 5th June annually, world desertification day and National Youth Day on 1st November . I was opportune to represent Katsina state at the YOUTH CLIMATE INCUBATION HUB and YOUTH CLIMATE INNOVATION BOOT CAMP for North West Geo political zone in 2019. All these made me to deem it necessary for expressing my intention of being among the ACMI Youth Deligate for COP27
1237	Sara	Eid Sedyq Abdullah	Unicef.		I want to join this entity because I want to be a representative of the youth around me.I'm applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum Delegate for COP 27 because I will like to actively participate in the negotiations this year although I have never attended a physical COP. an active community advocate, and this chance will allow me an opportunity to tap into the vast expertise, creativity, and enthusiasm of other young people in order to build and execute climate solutions that will benefit my country and Africa as a whole. I have effective communication and networking skills, and I will therefore be able to work with other young people and share and present our ideas. And I am currently a member of the LCOY 2022 organizing committee in an effort to eliminate any exclusive or selfish attitudes toward youth in climate action. I would therefore want to represent Angola at COP27 since the country is now experiencing the worst drought in 38 years as a result of climate change.	My work on climate change was acknowledged in late 2021 when I was a researcher with UNICEF in doing a participatory research for young people to change their behavior about climate change..I took a week-long training on that topic. Then I did research on how to adapt to climate changes and did a research on green hydrogen..and another research on how to use fuel biomass instead of fossil fuels. And I pitched my project in the #Open17ClimateGender global competition. Among other young projects from around the world, "Climate Gender Justice" won Crowd4SDG. The project's ultimate objective is to encourage policymakers to incorporate sexual and reproductive health and rights issues into disaster preparedness strategies in order to lessen the negative impact of climate change on women's health. Then I took some training and courses on the United Nations platform, in partnership with UNICEF, on climate change and the Framework Conventions on Climate Change, as well as lectures from the Ministry of Environment.

1239	Anita Myriam Emma	KOUASSI	Youth Parliament of Benin	https://mail.assemblee-nationale.bj/owa	Beninese by nationality, I'm a Young Parliamentarian of Benin and an active ecologist actor in the protection of the environment. An economist by training, I've always been a big advocate for twelve years, of quality education and for the empowerment of adolescent girls and young women in Sub-Saharan Africa through The Nerve Center within Education Plus Initiative, co-led by UNAIDS, ONUWomen, UNICEF, UNESCO, and UNFPA. I got an appreciative and influential pleading intervention as a Young Woman Advocate for Women's Rights in Sub-Saharan Africa to carry high the voice at the international event « Generation Equality Forum (GEF) » under the supervision and coordination of international agencies of the United Nations to address a message to some strong world authorities present at the event focused on inequalities for June/July 2021. I did contribute to side events at the UN COP15 on Desertification in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire from 9 to 20th May 2022 this year as a Master's degree student in the Climate Change, Biodiversity, and Ecosystem services program under the African Climate and Environment Center — Future African Savannas (AFAS) Program at the Centre for Development Research (ZEF), the University of Bonn and University of Cologne (DAAD). Under the AFAS program, one of the Global Centres for Climate and Environment supported by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) I hereby attend this event to better understand, how the relationship between education, especially girls and women’s education, and climate change environmental education as a key solution against food insecurity for girls and women in Africa because I daily dream of a world when women well-being and fulfillment is no longer a point to be bargained. Moreover, I have worked on Biodiversity issues in my country and internationally, both professional and volunteer experience, my participation in the project ''Youth Perspective on Climate Justice in EU-Africa Relations'' and ''African-European Youth Forum'' as an active member with VENRO, the German and Senegalese Association of Climate friends toward an open, fair, and sustainable Europe in the World on the EU Presidency Project 2020-2022. I too animated the ``Know and Protect the Planet'' clubs' youth to sprout in their love for nature for a sustainable and healthy environment. I also did some interventions and guided tours in the countryside on foot and on the water by canoe for tourists at the "Sitatunga Valley" animal refuge in Zinvié in southern Benin. Furthermore, I achieved online course follow-up certificates issued by the Francophonie Institute of sustainable development, a subsidiary body of the International Organization of the Francophonie, the SENGHOR University in Senegal in Dakar, and the National School of Public Administration of the University of Quebec in Canada on the themes such as understand and analyze the challenges and actions of sustainable development, law, and environmental protection, economy and management of the environment and natural resources, environmental assessment of development policies and projects and sustainable development goals in public policies that were very fruitful during restitution to youths.	Girls' and women's well-being of people has always been at the center of my aspirations, the lever of the fight that I tirelessly lead and of which I'm proud. To this end, to build resilient communities and reduce the socioeconomic impact of climate change on girls and women, and get adapted, I need to enter GYBN and advocate through my voice, for their release. As a french speaking person, I'm especially targeting young girls and women because they are generally forgotten in this fight, however, they are, perhaps, the first affected by this. As an activist for their rights, I quickly found the necessity to tell them, during our discussions, that they should consider themselves crucial actors in this topic because food depends on biodiversity, water depends on biodiversity, and globally, life depends on biodiversity. In general, everything is biodiversity-based hence without it, they are not anything to save. That's why they could not be made part of this century's issue. They are concerned about Climate change and its consequences on the biodiversity lost and therefore several difficulties in agriculture for getting food because biodiversity loss could be a deep cause when entrepreneurship would decrease and affect their empowerment undertaking. Most of them are vulnerable to desertification, drought, and soil dryness. Myself, since three years ago, I'm as well a professional entrepreneur as a promoter of the agri-food product "DELIZ' CONFITURE", dates-based jam, and day after day, I can feel how much it could be difficult to get raw materials in crops culture obtaining to improve my trade. I'm expecting to feed women and resolve food insecurity issues in Africa by asking target questions and learning better to implement possible solutions at this event. I did contribute to side events at the UN COP15 on Desertification in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire from 9 to 20th May 2022 this year as a Master's degree student in the Climate Change, Biodiversity, and Ecosystem services program under the African Climate and Environment Center — Future African Savannas (AFAS) Program at the Centre for Development Research (ZEF), the University of Bonn and University of Cologne (DAAD). Equity and inclusion are looming standards in all processes that define their activities in agriculture. Beyond the current threat of soil dryness, we rightly believe that the more girls are at the heart of decisions, the better they understand the issue and fight for a world that respects them more. There are mostly intelligent to understand how much they are solicited today to find sustainable solutions to this kind of issue. I will not say it enough, planet-saving needs a common and strong action from all the stakeholders, and actions should come from both women and men. Overall, I hope to learn from my experience to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 the most beautiful aspects of climate change issues, and restitute the most beautiful experience for my colleagues from the Youth Parliament of Benin.

I'm currently doing a research on human adaptation to climate change. I grew up in Nairobi where my interest in climate change blossomed due to the keen interest I had on monitoring how waste was managed in my area of residence. My dream is to start a campaign to channel the effects of climate change and create awareness to not only my community but also the world at large.	Mobility itself means freedom. Climate mobility for the past 50years has been driven by the powerful technical innovation but this has led to the climate crisis in regards to the carbon-dioxide emissions globally. Having been the Peer advisor for I Choose Life- Africa I got the opportunity to engage with residence of Kibera slums Nairobi where the waste is not properly managed, this prompted relocation of people resulting to high levels of carbon-dioxide emissions due to the congestion of automotive. This triggered me to be passionate about developing an idea that will bring a solution of a favorable relationship between human adaptation and climate change to reduce the risk of climate crisis due to climate mobility. I see ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 as an opportunity to engage with other youth delegates in getting more ideas thhttps://youtu.be/0g5JQnRGrEcat would serve as a solution to curbing climate crisis brought up by climate mobility.

1244	AMOS	ALIPIO	Global Peace Chain	https://www.globalpeacechain.org/	Amos Alipio was born on September 6, 1995, in the rural Victoria region of Kagera, Tanzania, Growing up in a hunger-stricken rural community, Amos developed an interest, particularly in media communications, with the primary goal of raising the voices of the voiceless community members, fighting poverty, gender violence, and raising awareness about the negative impact of climate change. Fortunately, his community members, including his teachers, encouraged those interests. That encouragement inspired him to prosper. He graduated from high school in 2019 and went on to study mass communication at Tumaini University in Dar es Salaam . His extraordinary and exemplary contribution and commitment to saving his fellow human beings impacted not only his college mates but the entire community, and he was chosen to become a Global Peace Ambassador in Tanzania in 2021, tasked with advocating the message of peace and other sustainable development goals, including climate change. In addition, he was awarded a certificate of completion for various climate change courses offered by the United Nations, including Building Climate Resilience through Ecosystem-Based Adaptation Planning and An Introduction to Climate Change and Human Rights, as part of his goal to broaden his understanding of climate change issues by 2022. Amos's enthusiasm did not stop there. He has also been a member of various initiatives in his community such as The Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI East Africa). He is still determined and optimistic about assisting more community members in adaptation and mitigation measures to combat climate change and thus support his community, country, and Africa in reaching the 2030 global agenda.	Climate change is a real in my community, in my country Tanzania, and throughout Africa. I've seen and felt its negative effects on my community and country now more than ever. From my own neighborhood to the entire East African region Drought, increased food and water shortages, decreased rainfall, and higher temperatures are now the new normal. Given these facts, I believe that climate change will pose a significant threat to both my generation and future generations if appropriate measures are not taken to slow or stop it. Just why I've been actively advocating for full implementation of the Paris Agreement resolutions at both the community and national levels in order to pursue efforts toward the global goal of limiting temperature increases to 1.5 degrees Celsius. I have been actively working to combat climate change. For instance,I have been setting a good example for community reforms and advocating for the implementation of agreements through holding of various seminars and workshops, influencing policymakers and various stakeholders to make reforms on various issues affecting the community, including the negative impact of climate change. He has also been writing climate-related stories for the Echo Newspaper Tanzania on climate mitigation and adaptation measures, as well as championing climate change education to average citizens, particularly those living in rural areas, as a mass communicator. I'd like to emphasize that I'm a very determined individual, and I intend to make the most of this opportunity if I am sponsored to attend COP27. I am confident that serving as an ACMI Youth Forum delegate to COP27 will provide me with the opportunity to share experience, network, and learn from other young people from around the world who are actively involved in the fight against climate change in their respective communities. But, most importantly, I will use this opportunity to meet with regional and global decision-makers to echo the concerns and suggest solutions to the challenges Africa faces in confronting the calamity of climate change. Furthermore, being sponsored to attend COP27 as an ACMI Youth Forum delegate will be a major turning point in my community's and Africa's efforts to combat climate change. I will essentially attend COP27 as an active participant in the agenda that will be put forward, and I will return to my country more confident, optimistic, determined, and hopeful than ever to continue collaboratively in my already ongoing role of climate activism and advocating for other sustainable development goals for the benefit of my country and Africa as a whole. For sure I deeply feel it in my heart to be one among the right delegates worth to be sponsored by ACMI Youth Forum to attend at COP27. The expenses that will be incurred by me out of the sponsorship will be worth it.

I'm a man that is ready to learn and unlearn	First, we frame the concept of climate mobility and migration and discuss some applicable policy frameworks that govern the issue from various perspectives; secondly, we review the toolbox of approaches that development cooperation actors bring to climate mobility; and third, we discuss the implications of the current Covid-19 pandemic and identify avenues for the way forward. We conclude that ensuring safe and orderly mobility and the decent reception and long-term inclusion of migrants and displaced persons under conditions of more severe climate hazards, and in the context of rising nationalism and xenophobia, poses significant challenges. Integrated approaches across multiple policy sectors and levels of governance are needed. In addition to resources, development cooperation actors can bring data to help empower the most affected communities and regions and leverage their convening power to foster more coordinated approaches within and across countries. Delegating empowers my team, builds trust, and assists with professional development. And for leaders, it helps me learn how to identify who is best suited to tackle tasks or projects. When leaders delegate certain tasks to others, they become free to focus on higher-value activities and use their time more productively. Delegation not only gives leaders time for strategic thinking, but it also allows them to focus on other tasks that only they can perform, such as leading and coaching their teams.

As a part of the community living by the ocean and a youth climate change activist and ambassador, I speak the language that can resonate with communities and truly instill the motivation for conservation and promoting climate action.

I am a firm believer that to solve these issues we need to learn as much as we possibly can while constantly gaining new perspectives on this topic, becoming an ACMI Youth Forum delegate will enable me to learn immeasurable abouts while gaining new perspectives.

This reflects in the aggressiveness with which I seek to excel at what I do. I found my voice three years ago, when I joined AIESEC, a global, youth-run, leadership organization on 20/10/2019 and since then courage has allowed me to litter my resume with skills gained in service of those within the organization in various leadership roles from marketing to talent management and business development, a story that my resume can tell even better. I have not looked back since, going on to pursue corporate responsibility and sustainability roles at Deloitte, Kenya where I have been working primarily as an auditor for the corporate world since November last year. The first project I supported in was earlier in April this year in our annual tree planting campaign which saw us support and plant 1000 trees at our local Karura Forest. I have been appointed to design a more inclusive tree planting next year that influences more of the Deloitte staff to engage with the tree planting activities even in their personal lives. I am very excited for this. I trust that change is the only constant in the world so I keep my arms and my mind open to the abundance of existence. As I change with life, I will be aware of the privileges I have had and remain empathetic to the conditions around me.	My inner motivation is fueled by my want to influence change on a larger scale, to be part of an impactful team of visionaries and to learn from an experienced delegates and climate activists on a local, regional and global scale. My outer motivation is to gain the skills, knowledge and wisdom acquired from sitting at such an inspirational table to implement solutions to the climate education and address sustainability gaps within my day-to-day environment.

Having been a Coordinator in Africa Medical Relief Foundation and undergone several activities in Conservation and climate, there is need to enlighten Africans on the importance of climate conservation.
1256	Hashim	Abdi Mahdi	Hashim Byproduct		My name is Hashim Mahdi, I'm currently living in Tanzania as a citizen but I have a Somalian descent as all my grandparents from my mother's side and my great grandparents from my father's side migrated to this beautiful country due to the many problems that are facing Somalia to this day. I'm 21 years old and have been affected several times due to the change of climate that is currently happening, most notably was the effect it had with the maize in 2017 as my family was in the business of with the use of machines, turning maize into flour then selling in packages. Due to changing weather patterns the price of the raw materials often changed unpredictably that whole year which in turn costed us huge profits that lead to our downfall in that business. Much more damage will be done to us as people and the environment we live in if the information is not spread thoroughly throughout Africa. Peace be with Africa and more prosperity.	• To spread Education to our fellow Africans • To combat the effects of climate change • To bring more prosperous agricultural businesses • To meet with fellow Africans and connect with them

Christianah also leads the Trash Monger Initiative for Green and waste free societies, a Non-Governmental organization focused on creating awareness on sustainability.	My name is Christianah, I am a graduate of business administration with deep passion for environmental sustainability and as a new entrant into the field one of My deepest desires is to be a major female voice advocating and implementing climate action in the world. As the first girl of six children, one of the privileges I enjoyed was education, my parents were keen on educating me by any means possible, even to the point of selling personal possessions. While their efforts couldn’t afford me the best education available, it certainly gave me an edge over my peers, and quickly solidified the importance of education to me. Growing up in a rural community where education for the girl child wasn't a priority, I saw most of my peers get married off as teenagers and in some cases got entangled in various vices. My passion for recycling and environmental sustainability grew when I volunteered as a social media manager in Trash Monger Limited which opened me up to the dangers associated with being ignorant about the environment and the cause-effect of action and inaction towards environmental sustainability and also seeing how as an organization we are able to impact the life of the under-served community who are our major workers. Trash Monger employed internally displaced women to sort their collected materials while youths within the same communities were trained on how to use machines to process the waste into bales. I am especially interested in this program because as a girl one of the best gift I have received is education that has transformed me into a a better woman, any opportunity to keep learning and be resourceful is of utmost importance to me and would be maximized to help me impact other women and benefit my community. In conclusion,I believe I would be a valuable asset to the women in Africa if given the opportunity, and hope you will accept my application.

Currently am working with electricity supply corporation of Malawi as an assistant engineer in communication department. Melicy Mandala is a founder of wala women's social enterprise that is on a mission of empowering women in green skills through briquette making, biogas production, molding of efficient cooking stoves and oil production using castor oil to promote waste management and agroforestry at the same time reducing poverty and deforestation.	With high rate of population in Malawi, change in climate is increasing due to carelessly cutting down of trees and poor waste disposal. Climate change in Malawi is pushing people further into poverty and women are suffering most. As women plays multiple role in Malawian society there affected most with changing in climate. Women weak position in society means that they have less access to income or credit and no voice in decision-making, making it difficult for them to have other source of income. Some women in Malawi sell their with money to sustain their families this activity promotes the rate of STIs and HIV and AIDS. Even though the situation is like that there is hope that we can give to this women through training. We can train women to generate energy from waste at the same time we are promoting waste management and agroforest. The trainings can be briquette making, biogas production, molding of efficient cooking stoves and oil production using castor seeds. Briquette and biogas are made from agricultural waste, kitchen waste and animal waste respectively. This trainings will allow women to generate their needed income after they have produced their products and sell it to end-users. This trainings will give job opportunity and enterpreneurship to women and people around them. At the end of the day we are strengthening women financially and promoting clean enviroment since using briquettes and biogas we are minimizing the use of firewood and charcoal.

I am a Ugandan by nationality with over 2 years’ experience in the field of information systems development and the tourism sector. I have passion of using technology to simplify challenges in both the tourism and the transport sector. Last year in 2021, I founded Viziguide Tours, ( https://viziguidetours.com/ ) which is an online marketplace for arranging or offering lodging, primarily home-stays, or tourism experiences in and around Uganda for a wide range of clients. Our mission is to deliver reliable and excellent travel experience through creating an end-to-end travel platform that will handle every part of your trip in and around Uganda. In a bid to conserve our environment, we encourage and advise our travelers to plant trees when they book their homestays and travels through our platform. Since 2021, we have managed to secure an office space in Nkokonjeru and registered our company with all relevant authorities in Uganda. We have had 49 people book home stays and tourism packages through our platform which is a very big achievement for us since we are just close to 2 years of existence in business. We are currently a team of 6 people with diverse skills and backgrounds but working together as one articulate team. I have chosen this career because of my background in technology.

My interest in this position is motivated by the opportunity to enhance my experience and grow my career. At the same time, I will be able to commit to adding value to the company's needs. Moreover, the company has the potential to place me with diverse people and cultures. I look forward to a positive response. Many thanks for my request consideration.	The opportunity is a good platform to improve my personal capacity for leadership aspiration. Thus, it can develop the ability to impact the community and people significantly by ensuring as a leader that it becomes easy to understand the needs of people and communicate reliable solutions in a manner that satisfies the expectations and resolve of people effectively. The capacity-building process is a great opportunity for aspiring leaders to gain knowledgeable insights into how people in positions of power can positively influence society, as they ensure policymaking and decision-making steps are carried out within the standards of proper practice. The program will also develop personal character, especially in communicating with experts and decision-makers. Thus, it will enable the leaders to efficiently organize people and community leaders to plan for strong and closely-knit communities that understand the role of private and public leaders; and how to differentiate the two regarding the direct role they play in increasing the quality of life through various initiatives in policies and related actions. Furthermore, the Fellowship is a promising opportunity to interact with potential leaders and students from other nations, thus gaining a different perspective on how they view the role of good governance and democracy in the process of people and the government working in a manner that supports people-centered programs. Generally, the Fellowship is a unique opportunity to maximize personal development from an informed context promoted by industry leaders, civic leaders, and political leaders interested in mentoring the youth. The world continues to move at a fast-paced speed due to innovation, technological inventions, and improved levels of education. However, vulnerable people in society are being left behind as they cannot access quality healthcare, education, and employment opportunities. The responsibility of ensuring these people are prioritized will inform my advocacy to private and public leaders. Understandably, it will require teamwork and collaboration with other individuals and organizations that care about this segment of our community. Therefore, it is essential to make partnerships with people who care about these issues and ensure inequality is addressed through the implementation of solutions. Additionally, the promotion of diversity and inclusivity in organizations will be part of this responsibility to ensure everyone, regardless of their beliefs, gender, race, age, and nationality, receives equal and fair treatment per the law. Currently, I am active in volunteer organizations caring about the vulnerable.

En ce moment, elle conduit un projet communautaire de renforcement des capacités des jeunes sur l’utilisation bénéfique d’internet notamment les droits numériques, l’empreinte carbone numérique, les opportunités sur internet, … Sur le plan professionnel, elle dispose des expériences en matière de décentralisation et gouvernance locale en liaison avec les thématiques environnementales telle que la protection du sol, … En 2021, elle a été jeune volontaire de l’Union africaine déployée auprès du bureau de liaison de la SADC auprès de l’Union Africaine. Actuellement, Harimiora travaille en tant que Volontaire des Nations Unies en suivi et capitalisation des Finances publiques pour les enfants au sein de l’UNICEF Madagascar. Plus tard, elle ambitionne d’occuper un poste décisionnel au niveau local et/ou panafricain.	Je suis une personne engagée activement dans la communauté, tout particulièrement auprès des jeunes. Cette opportunité va me permettre d’apprendre sur les expériences de la jeunesse africaine sur les initiatives de lutte contre le changement climatique afin d’améliorer mon intervention sur le sujet dans ma communauté, mon pays voire le continent africain. Panafricaine, dynamique, ayant le sens de communication, mes actions sur la lutte contre le changement climatique sont les suivants : Je suis une membre bénévole d’une association des jeunes juristes malgaches qui vulgarise le droit positif malgache à travers des méthodes ludiques simples et avec des vocabulaires malgaches. Les cibles sont les personnes vulnérables et marginalisées entre autres les jeunes filles, les enfants des rues, les jeunes détenus. Dans cette association, je m’occupe du thématique droit de l’environnement. Mon intervention se porte sur les lois répressives sur les infractions environnementales, les différentes conventions internationales ratifiées par Madagascar, … Par ailleurs, je dispose des expériences probantes sur les planifications, exécutions budgétaires des communes rurales à Madagascar. Le fait est que dans leur planification budgétaire, aucune commune ne planifie pas des prévisions budgétaires pour lutter contre le changement climatique, la lutte se fait en principe au niveau central. Par contre, les effets du changement climatique se fait, surtout, ressentir au niveau local notamment dans l’agriculture. Il est temps que les communes prennent en compte la dimension environnementale dans leur budget, un budget sensible à l’environnement. En 2022, j’ai été sélectionnée par l’Institut électorale pour une Démocratie Durable en Afrique, bureau Madagascar pour le « Young Women in Politics Pogram », un programme qui renforce les capacités des jeunes femmes qui ambitionnent d’occuper un poste politique. Pour moi, mon entrée en politique serait en tant que conseillère municipale de ma commune ou je pourrai déjà appliquer la planification budgétaire sensible à la lutte contre le changement climatique. Je travaille actuellement pour l’atteinte de cet objectif politique. Cette opportunité sera également pour moi une occasion de présenter mes idées, d’échanger et surtout de réseauter.

At the center of all these, are the youth and the children. Their lives get to a stand still when there are extreme events in the given areas and there is movement. What has motivated me to apply for this delegation, is due to the fact that however much I have not been affected directly, I have been in areas where adverse climatic conditions have been brought to a stand still the lives of the youth and children. When it rained heavily, and homes and schools were swept away, young children were not only rendered homeless and hopeless but also they had to move, are exposed to diseases and they are denied a chance to have access to education and shelter. Having experience in the Climate Change discourse, and on Africa's priority needs, I'd like to have an opportunity, to be an advocate for change, so as to add my voice, knowledge and expertise to something that is important, while also learning how to assist and bring change on the plight of children and youth on Climate mobility.

Examples include The Ganglion Initiative, a Non-governmental Organization based in Nigeria, focused on Sustainable Development Goal 4 through which over 8,000 secondary school students have been reached; Girls’ Count Initiative, an initiative working on women and girls’ development through which over 2,000 adolescent girls have been reached with free menstrual hygiene education and the provision of free washable and sustainable menstrual pads, with a view to ending period poverty; As a World Literacy Foundation Ambassador, he worked with other global ambassadors in raising funds and awareness towards educating children in Colombia. Also, he joined the Sanitation and Environmental Group of the National Youth Service Corp in 2022 with a view to contributing to environmental protection in Nigeria. Professionally, in 2022, he joined Earthplus Sustainability Network as a Team Administrator/Head of Operations, taking charge of projects, programs and operations in the organization. Earthplus Sustainability Network is committed to promoting an environmentally responsive government and environmentally responsible citizens, via various activities including tree planting exercises, environmental cleanups, climate advocacy and education, amongst others. With COP27 around the corner, Ayomipo will be looking towards enhancing his career along environmental sustainability when he joins other change-makers in Egypt to discuss the change we all want. On August 27 2022, Ayomipo anchored a Twitter Space Discussion that centered on the topic "The Realities of Climate Change on Extreme Weather Patterns", in furtherance of the objectives of tackling issues around global warming and the imminent pool of weather fluctuations across the world, including the incessant floodings in Pakistan, Flooding in Lagos, which claimed some lives, as well as Earthquakes in Asia, and Heat waves in Europe. Similarly, he anchored a discussion on Zoom that centered around the Implications of the Ukraine-Russia war on Environmental Sustainability. As a Youth Corp Member, he has worked to keep the environment healthy via various community development services that rigorously worked to rid the environment of wastes and litters that are catalysts for climate change and global warming. In summary, the professional goals of Ayomipo is largely woven around the sustainability of the planet and the people, such that the planet becomes a blessing to the people, and the people reciprocate by caring for the environment in a sustainable manner. Thus, everything about him revolves around all of the SDGs as a comprehensive tool for human development and environmental sustainability.	Motivation for becoming a ACMI Youth Delegate at COP27 Cross-borders Knowledge and Technical Exchange needed for understanding the problem and ways to get involved in the provision of solutions to climate & environmental issues within my local space (Lagos, Nigeria): Born on the streets of Ibadan, the third largest city in Africa, all I could see is waste, environmental hazards, erosion, and loss of biodiversity written on the face of the city. All I could see were men and women in slums wallowing in poverty and inadequacy, slogging through pains within a dangerously unhealthy, ecologically burnt and socioeconomically unyielding environment for small gains in order to make ends meet. Even though I was a victim of these circumstances, something always moved me to think and know that I could do something about it, that I could make things better, that I could understand the situation, and that I could hopefully proffer long-term solutions. These experiences sparked my interest in human development, environmental sustainability, and the overall survival of people and the planet, with a view to improving the socioeconomic status of the people in my community that has always been marred by climate change and its attendant effects. In a quest to further my professional career and enthusiasm, a move to Lagos as an employee of Earthplus Sustainability Network opened my eyes to the broader realities of climate change and its attendant extreme weather patterns. Lagos is considered as Nigeria's climate most-vulnerable city, and one of the most vulnerable globally. This meant that I, as a leader of a Youth-led Environmental Sustainability Organization, needed to understand this phenomenon from both local and international paradigms. Working in and on various projects within Lagos and Nigeria have given me the needed local knowledge to start the change. However, being a delegate at COP27 could open me up to international perspectives that could be useful in my quest at home. Thus, I am motivated to be a ACMI Youth delegate at COP27 in Egypt because it would offer me the right knowledge and technical exchange (from interactions and relations) that could help understand and tackle the climate phenomenon back home in Lagos and Nigeria as a whole. As touching on mobility, I look forward to more endeavors and engagements on climate mobility as a rookie professional and enthusiast in that climate sub-sector, who primarily started off with climate advocacy, education, and the broadest sense of mitigation and adaptation.
1282	Richard	Mbevi	Linda Future Initiative		My name is Richard Mbevi, and I am a 27-year-old project manager at a local CBO in Nairobi. I've always been passionate about the environment and sustainability, and I want to use my position to help make change happen in our community. I was born and raised in Nairobi, so I know first-hand how important it is for us to work together to protect our environment. I'm also a big believer in community-led projects, and I believe that by working together, we can make a real difference in the lives of those around us. I'm excited to be part of ACMI's Youth Forum because it allows me to connect with other young professionals interested in advocating for environmental protection. I'm looking forward to getting involved with the forum and learning more about how we can make our city a better place. Mid this year, we began our community-based organization, Linda Future Initiative, which is an initiative that brings together young people who are passionate about environmental issues. We work with local schools and communities on projects that promote environmental awareness and sustainability. We also work with other community-based organizations to promote environmental issues and help them to develop their projects. I'm very proud of the work we've already done this year, but there's still so much more we can do! The one thing that I've realized through all of this is that we need more young people like us to get involved in making a difference. We need more people who care about our environment and want to improve it for future generations. It's hard work but so rewarding when you see the results!	As a young person, I'm passionate about ensuring that we all have a future on this planet. Climate change is one of the biggest threats to our society, and I want to be part of the solution. I've been involved in climate activism since I was twelve, when I started a student-led initiative to ban the carrying of plastic bags in school before it became a law. In high school, I created an environmental club, where I initiated a school beautification program, where we changed our once "arid looking school" into a more colorful and lively environment we could be proud of. I initiated a tree planting program that is still ongoing today. Since then, I've been working on climate change mitigation and adaptation projects, such as plastic waste reduction, fossil fuel divestment campaigns, and renewable energy advocacy. Becoming an ACMI Youth Forum delegate would be a great way for me to continue working on these issues while learning more about how they affect other parts of the world. I want this opportunity because it will allow me to meet people working on similar topics in different countries, learn from them, and share my own experiences with them so that we can all work together towards a better future.

1286	Maria	Nabweteme	Network for Active citizens Uganda	https://nacuganda.org/	I grew up in a society where swamps were being reclaimed for agriculture and settlement, however each time it would rain floods became a menance, no one cared about sanitation that is we always disposed off plastics in trenches and all other forms of rubbish not realising that many of these plastics and polythene bags are non biodegradable and thus have affected our soil in the long run. Then sicknesses like malaria, diarrhoea, dysentry among others were the order of the day. Today I realise that many of these effects would have been avoided. Today also we now feel the effects of climate change for all that we and our elders did when harming the environment. Am one of those that has come out to fight and end the effects of climate change because I now see that if we can act now it’s not to late to save Mother Nature.	Being a climate Journalist and activist has really been an amazing experience. There are a lot of green heroes out their embracing climate mobility and creating an impact some through recycling plastics, among others. These unsung heroes, are proud of the work they and this is really amazing. Their stories and amazing works are seeds of change showing to us all the we can both do something to fight for climate and stop issues that arise from climate change because these same threats or issues affect the world at large.

For the past six years, I have been working as a hydrologist at the Ministry. As a hydrologist, my main task is divided into two parts, the first is to collect high-quality primary hydrological information data such as water flow data, water level data, sedimentation data, and measure cross-section river. The second is office work such as preparing rating curves, forecasting floods, regionalizing flood-affected sites before they occur, building an early warning system using hydrological software models, and providing this information for decision-making. I want to become a good expert in hydrology in the long term and do a master's degree in this field. Yours sincerely Beir Alemayehu	Dear sir/madam Through this ACMI Youth forum, I hope to expand my knowledge in the field of climate change and nature conservation. The impact of global warming has challenged everyday activity in every sector and this has piqued my interest. I would like to work with the community to create a zero-carbon alternative to energy use. It is known that most Ethiopians do not have electricity and use wood and charcoal as biomass for cooking. If I am selected for the ACMI Youth Forum, I plan to increase my professional capacity and contribute to the prosperity of my country by addressing the problems of climate change and the use of energy. I do this by preparing my hydrology profession in a way that is beneficial to society, which I believe the ACMI Youth Forum will help me with. sincerely.

1294	Miriam	Panja	University of Dar es salaam		I am currently a Master's student at the university of Dar es salaam,Tanzania, pursuing my masters degree of Science in Natural Resource Assessment and Management. I hold a bachelor's degree of Science in Agricultural and Natural Resources Economics and Business.	Climate change and variability is real and it is affecting the globe. Sea levels are rising, rainfall is unpredictable, the temperature is increasing, glaciers are melting and there is a loss of biodiversity. As a master’s student finalizing my dissertation on “Assessment of nature based solution as a contribution of coastal livelihood improvement in Tanzania,” I found out that the vulnerable coastal communities are more prone to the effects of climate change. The African communities are likely to be affected more by the impacts of climate change and variability due to less ability to cop and adopt as a result of less knowledge on the holistic concept of climate change and poverty. Being an ACMI youth forum delegate will give me the opportunity to learn more on climate change and give me vivid evidence on the magnitude of climate crisis. I will use the information to inform my community on the agency of putting actions in place that will combat climate change crisis before it is irreversible. Information is power and one finger cannot kill a louse. Therefore working together is the only way to make our planet safe for our existence. I will educate my university fellow students and the Bagamoyo Coastal community am working with on climate change to have the change we desire. Looking forward to participate in this important conference for the benefit of our planet. Yes we can it we work together, it is not too late.
1295	Tinashe W	Dhlakamah	University of Zimbabwe	https://www.uz.ac.zw/	I am a young and highly motivated environment and climate change scientist (greenhouse gas inventory) expert with 4+ years of experience leading climate change mitigation projects within the Ministry of Environment, Climate, Tourism and Hospitality Industry. I have a particular interest in the measuring, reporting, and verification of GHGs to implement the Paris Agreement’s enhanced transparency framework. I have also worked with various youths and youth organizations concerning building capacity around climate change mitigation, transitioning to net-zero carbon economies, as well as adaptation and resilience building. I am currently pursuing a MSc in Environmental Systems Engineering to further enhance my knowledge and expertise in climate change and environmental issues.	As a young professional with over 4 years of experience working in the field of climate change, I believe having the opportunity of becoming an ACMI delegate and participating in COP will be crucial as I will benefit from and also contribute to the deliberations and discussions scheduled during the conference. I am particularly interested in understanding the role of youth in influencing governments to take a stronger stance on mitigating climate change to secure the future of young people, which is currently being threatened. This opportunity will allow me to meet and discuss with like-minded youths as well as have an opportunity to discuss with experts in climate change who will also be in attendance. My background in climate change is focused more on issues of climate change mitigation and low emission development (net-zero economies). I believe that having a stronger stance on mitigating climate change and fostering economies that are climate-proofed and adapted to current and future climate change impacts is important and will increase the adaptive capacity of communities across Africa. Climate change mitigation and adaption/resilience building are two sides of the same coin and therefore need to be given equal consideration in fora such as COP as well as in national developmental policies. My motivation for attending COP is therefore strongly centered on understanding solutions at all levels that have both mitigation impacts as well as adaptive/resilience-building impacts. I believe this is one of the key pathways for climate action, specifically in Africa, where we are still developing. Hence, we have an opportunity to get it right from the very beginning (catapult into low-carbon and resilient communities).

1297	kambale kavyavu	wisdom	Université De Goma	Université De Goma	I have completed my Undergraduate in Geology and Earth sciences for three years and the Graduate in Mining Exploration and Ore Deposit control for two years, the total duration of the universuty is five years to get Bechelor. I had BSc from University of Nature Conservation de and Developement at Kasugho in Democratic Republic of Congo, with a CGPA of 3.52 out of 4.00. I was an active somehow indulgent student among others during my undergraduate and graduate, very often involved in many curicular and co-curricular. In fact, I was up to the mark and very competent and I have passed all entrance tests conducted by the academic institution of my education with high achievements and secured overall 5th in the whole district. I did my final year with a BSc thesis project “ Hydrogeological studies of the topographic catchment of the Kimemi River section on urban and environmental impact of Butembo/North-Kivu”. This research had some specific objectives among witch was: the delimitation of the topographic catchment area of the Kimemi River draining the town of Butembo; qualitative study of the types of water used to deduce the types and sources of pollutants; determination of the permeability of soils at different sites to determine the rate at which water infiltrates the soil and determination of the flows of the river proper. Some of my papers and presentations for posters target correlations of geology ( mining activities) environmental actions with the climat changes eg : - COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE MANAGEMENT OF KIVUCIAN LACUSTRINE COAST, CASE OF THE CITY OF GOMA (DRC) AND GISENYI (RWANDA), Am interested on Geothermal Resouces as energy sources on reducing climate changes as needed by 2030 to réduire 1,5 degree. Recently in Pre-Cop27 i shared : ‘‘Geothermal energy shaping, a threat reduction for the green future of Congolese bassin forest and protected areas’’ My position of Assistant Professor (Université de Goma), I often provide practical courses for Undergraduate students. As researcher at the faculty, I co-supervise the Bachelor’s thesis under support of Professors. As geologist, I am participating on the surveys of my home province and to digitalize geological datas according to new technologie. As my province is located in East African Rift System, am serving in geothermal resources as geologist prospector, this project looks to respond to Energetical needs. Presntly I am planning to pursue my Master in Canada from the next January 2023 and participating in the management of climate chanlleges by developing as thesis : Bilan Géochimique des Gaz Rares dans les réservoirs géothermiques Kivuciens, RDC. Deeping Congolese thermal springs as attestation of this inter crust renouvalable energy. In addition, Geothermal power plant is one of energies with less CO2 emissions as need by the 2030 UNEP Agenda. It will also be a pionior part of the DRC Power plant. For this research topic, i know the Cop27 is a new event to reinforce my skills and will polish my motivtaions of ârticipating in the reduction of GHS.	Africa Climate Mobility Initiative will not be able to share the conlusions of Cop27 in all places of Africa. it needs some representaivity from all african sides. If all ACMI delagtes dispatch the key messages of the conference, the gaol of will be easly attend the local landholders mostly youth. Am applying to become ACMI delegate at the Cop27 due to some mitivations. As Youth Earth Sientist (geoscientist) Iknow dommages caused by mining activities and their place in the GHS that suffer the world Ozone. After my participation on Pre-Cop27 held in the DRC as scientific section, as youngest of all scientifc particpants, i shared as topic ‘’Geothermal energy shaping, a threat reduction for the green future of Congolese bassin forest and protected areas’’ by this expose, I was demostrating the key roles of geothermal power plants as energy sources to be one of solutions of threat on forests and deforestation. Knowing that landholders are first guarders of forests and need some felicitaions, the carbon markets havest must be the motor of projects around these forests as benefice to local populations. The place of youth in the management of climat changes is enough as this demography section has more number of the population on the world. Being Congolese representive at the Cop27 of Sharm El Sheilk trough the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative i am sure this occasion will be for me a best place and moment to update my skills and get wisdom in climat domains from experienced participants. Besides, I will myself share my experience even if am young or early career. African countries are not conectable due the absence of roads, but this in not a limitaion for scientists and researchers. As african youngs we are ready and mibile to save amblamatic points or hotsponts in all africa with mission of reducing climat dommages and protect the ozone. I know living in one place for long time can have some mistekes by thinking our local environment is the best of all, so by exchanging experiences with others is capital and this needs a mobility of people from here and there. The Cop27 is one of the world conference with more than ten thematics and more events where new opinions will shared by all levels (kids, young, adult,..) of humanity from all sides of the climate victime planet. Surely capital decisions will be taken with a high speality of amendements and corrections of Cop26. Repsenting youth of my university and or country (DRC) I will be honor to take participation in this UNFCCC by the Support od Africa Climate Mobility Initiative . by this I will serve as embassador of this Initaitive and i will be grantfull to be suported by this initiative as my self support is not donable to attend this precious conference.

He attended the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology for his Bachelor's Degree in economics and is currently on with his Master's degree in the same institution alongside many other qualifications. He is an exemplary self-motivated individual working towards the realization and creation of new opportunities, through partnerships and tolerance of diversities in society, particularly in the world of Economics, climate and environment. He is systematic and organized in approach, with distinct skills including accuracy, consistency, attention to detail, and tenacity. He also has the ability to work in a fast-paced ever-changing context across a broad range of functions as well as think creatively and practically. Of relevance to this particular application, he has offered support in several preparatory meetings toward CoP 27 which makes me suited to learn even more at the event.	I have vast experience with climate change-related issues not only as a proponent but also actively involved in sustainable climate investments through the planting of trees (Currently at over 1000 trees). I have before; • Participated in the Green Climate Fund (GCF) concept development workshop from 27th – 30th July 2022 in Naivasha. • Participated in the Green Business Environment Reforms to accelerate business climate actions for resilience and building back better from 22nd – 24th June 2022. I believe that CoP 27 will provide me with an excellent opportunity and platform to learn, unlearn and learn the vitals of climate change and sustainability. I believe that the summit will further fuel my interest, skills and capacity to engage more actively in the subject of sustainability toward a sustainable future. I personally see myself as the voice of the voiceless climate and the environment. I desire to see a sustainable future but also know that that doesn't just come; It calls for decided efforts especially from the youth, myself included. This is why I enlist for the above! I long to add my voice to the many other voices so that we can together speak for a sustainable environment and climate. I long to torr up my sleeve and make the earth a better habitable place and Cop 27 provides this exact opportunity.

1301	Amaka Juliet	Nkemdy			My name is Nkemdy Amaka Juliet, a Nigerian and resident of Nigeria. I have significant experience working with local and international organizations. Most recently, l assisted an NGO based out of southwest Nigeria in monitoring and evaluating its 'food aid in Coronavirus COVID19'program by developing and administering statistical and qualitative need assessments for identifying the most vulnerable families, implemented monitoring tools such as logistics and supply chain framework, and conducted a feedback survey to learn how the COVID-19 lockdown affected the livelihood of the intended beneficiaries. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Botany, and completed relevant certification courses on Climate Change Mitigation in Developing Countries, Environmental Justice, Agripreneurship, and Farm-to-Fork. With dedication and hard work, as a Graduate Intern at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan and as a Research Assistant at the National Horticultural Research Institute (NiHORT), Ibadan, I assisted my supervisors on research projects by the application of computer packages such as Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint in data report and presentations. l am knowledgeable about ways relevant to strengthening climate change mitigation and adaptation policies specifically as it relates to global food security and nutrition. In May 2021, I volunteered as a social media ambassador during the COP26 virtual symposium, Climate Exp0. Here, I discussed the climate change issues in Nigeria and what measures are to be taken to mitigate them. Furthermore, I deliver a detailed report of the various topics delivered by keynote speakers via social media. One of my most prized assets has always been my ability to work well both in a team environment and individually. My wide range of current and previous working environments provided me with the opportunity to work in dynamic multicultural environments and l am passionate about learning from other people's perspectives and re-assessing my beliefs and assumptions. In addition, as an international development enthusiast, I have often found myself working in different cultural regions of Nigeria, hence allowing me to be fluent in English, Hausa and Igbo language.	The issue of Climate Change globally, cannot be overemphasized; narrowing it down to Africa, there is work to do and young people should be at the frontiers of this change. But how can this happen when there are no opportunities and resources? My passion for Climate Change mitigation and adaptability began during my undergraduate days in 2018 when I led a group on a "Plant a Tree walk" where we visited pupils and sensitised them on the issue of deforestation and how it is affecting us. We cannot abandon our planet. The earth is where we move and have our being; we must save it! "I WOKE UP TO A HAPPY EARTH DAY", is an article I wrote and it was inspired by my ill-health when I had asthmatic symptoms as a result of contaminated air in my vicinity and I ended up leaving my environment. If we have cleaner air, if we protect our environment, there would be no need for Climate Mobility. There won't be a need for people, migrating voluntarily or forcefully, or plant striving to develop adaptive features as defensive mechanisms against pollution. During my undergraduate thesis, I explored the effects of air pollution on plants growing by the roadside. I discovered the contamination of these plants by heavy metals that are carcinogenic and would have adverse effects on man and animals. I am committed to advancing food security and climate change mitigation, through sustainable agriculture practices, by collaborating with different institutes and working with them. This would widen, my horizon, on the issues of climate change and further consolidate my goal of building a team of young people to be advocates of climate issues. In this Forum, I hope to meet and interact with people from different African countries and hopefully build a network of young people after the program, who share the same goal and interests as mine. I understand the work of the African Climate Mobility Initiative, especially in boosting the resilience of African communities confronting the climate crisis. I am glad and excited at the opportunity to attend this forum and I know that it would provide me with the knowledge that I aspire to acquire.
1302	FABIUS	MULONGO	FABIUS MULONGO FOUNDATION	https://fabiusmulongofoundation.wordpress.com/	Fabius Mulongo Wanjala is a young climate activist in Kenya. He is an International Relations and Diplomacy scholar as well as the founder of the Fabius Mulongo Foundation, an organization whose objective is to mentor young people into responsible national and global citizens in the areas of Climate change, Governance, Education and charity. Fabius believes in a world of climate justice and seeks to do what he can to ensure climate action is urgently up and running.	I would wish to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 because I believe it's the highest forum where climate change experts, activists, governments and those who believe in climate action meet and forge a way forward in solving the imminent climate crisis. I would therefore wish to be a part of those people giving solutions to climate change and be a part of solution providers. I also would love to be at the COP27 conference as an ACMI Youth Forum delegate because I'll have an opportunity to meet and connect with like minded individuals in the area of climate change where I'll exchange ideas with them and bring new knowledge aquired into the implementation of more vigorous programs in my organization so that the fight against climate change is more effective within my organization and community at large. My experience relating to climate mobility is about 3 and a half years where I've engaged myself with other community based organizations within my community where we've had activities like planting over 20,000 trees in local school, necessitating cleaning of rivers, helping schools access to clean water especially those affected by severe drought, by digging boreholes for them among other engagements. This is all to ensure that I play a part in mitigating some of the challenges paused by climate change.

Africa is the most vulnerable continent to climate change. Changing precipitation patterns, rising temperatures and more extreme weather contributes to climate change in Africa. For this reason and my love for combating climate change, my friend and I came out with a project called Bloompool. Bloompool is a hydroponic system for plant cultivation. We grow crops in artificial systems enriched with nutrients. All important conditions necessary for growing crops (pH, temperature, O2 concentration, etc.) are regulated. The project uses sensors to gather information, which is then relayed to a computer with a pre-trained model. If the sensors detect a low level of moisture, the model takes an intelligent correctional measure, eliminating climate dependency, seasonality and excessive labour. It has an AI-based powered system which automates and makes decisions in hydroponic systems using multivariate plant and environment data. Bloompool has a hardware (electronic and non-electronic) and software components. The non-electronic components consist of pumps, growth tent, light source, PVC pipes, pH buffers, nutrient solutions, biocontrol bacteria, Bloompool was among 5 shortlisted solutions by Artificial Intelligence for Good, a branch of the International Communications Union of the United Nations, as part of Startups Decarbonizing Agriculture and Forestry. I have also volunteered in several projects, aimed at addressing climate change, community challenges and promoting development. With these experiences, I have become a better thinker, an excellent communicator, and a team player. I have also seen myself being increasingly drawn towards a career that involves identifying climate change challenges, community and youth challenges and finding solutions to them. It is for this that I was very thrilled when I saw the call for applications for this conference..
1306	Nesia	Mhaka	Southern Alliance for Indigenous Resources	https://safire.org.zw/	I am a climate change policy advisor and climate change communications specialist, based in Zimbabwe. With over five years of experience in the sustainability agenda, I have mainly focused on climate governance, International and local climate change policies (NDCs, LTS, and SDGs), fiscal policy and green budgeting, climate finance, and long-term planning exercises with an adaptation approach. I conducted research on global, national, and local scales, including many surveys of the Zimbabwean public. I conducted global studies of public values, attitudes, and behaviors regarding sustainable development goal #13 and published more than 200 climate change newspaper articles, chapters, and reports. In 2020 I served as a contributing author, panel member, advisor, and, consultant in the formulation of Zimbabwe Low Emission Development Strategy, National Renewable Energy and Bio-Fuels Policy, Zimbabwe Climate Change Communication Strategy, Zimbabwe Youth in NDCs Strategy, Zimbabwe UNFCCC Gender Action Plan (GAP), Zimbabwe Revised NDCs report that was presented at COP 26, among others. I also partnered with the Zimbabwe Climate Change Department under the Ministry of Environment in the coordination of the NDCs Invest Platform and afterward mainstreaming climate change considerations in the country. As of my professional experience, currently am serving Southern Alliance for Indigenous Resources (SAFIRE) as a Communications Coordinator. SAFIRE is a local non-governmental organization in Zimbabwe that assist rural communities in economic development through sustainable utilization of their natural resources. I am coordinating Climate Adaptation for Rural Livelihoods (CARL) project implemented in Buhera, Bulilima, and Gutu districts in Zimbabwe and the project is being funded by Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) in partnership with OXFAM. The development is trying to improve opportunities for sustainable livelihoods with a focus on sustainable food security, green jobs especially for women and youth, and improved capacity of stakeholders to contribute to environmental and climate sustainability. The project started in 2018 and it’s ending in December 2022. With regards to my previous professional experience, I worked for The Herald Newspaper a leading newspaper in Zimbabwe as an Environment and Climate change reporter (2018-2020), and at Hivos (2019 to December 2020) as Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Reporter, and as a Sub-Saharan Climate change news Reporter for Climate Tracker (2020-2021). I was a member of the Climate Tracker Advisory Board and I represent female journalists in the Southern Africa region. Also, I was once a member of the China-Africa Environmental Journalism Forum and my area of specialization in the project was climate change adaptation and resilience building mechanisms which are being implemented in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) to improve food security and productivity.	I am a climate change policy advisor and climate change communications specialist, based in Zimbabwe. With over five years of experience in the sustainability agenda, I have mainly focused on climate governance, International and local climate change policies (NDCs, LTS, and SDGs), fiscal policy and green budgeting, climate finance, and long-term planning exercises with an adaptation approach. COP26 has concentrated on efforts to reach zero net-emissions Governments and Parties were mainly focused on the Revised NDCs and Issues of Carbon Credits. But now it is crucial for the world to parallel steps up on climate adaptation and ensure the resilience of affected communities. If selected to attend COP 27 as a delegate I will paeticipate in the discussions and topics on what is missing from the conversations around children and climate mobility, especially in Southern Africa Countries. As the international community, advances to better understand and protect the needs of people displaced by disasters and climate change, there is still a need to promote policy coherence and multi-sectoral dialogue. There is an urgent need for, the voices, concerns, and expectations of children and youth to be taken into consideration, as they are the ones who will suffer the most in the near future. I will organize panel discussions and debates on Climate Mobility issues with other organizations which support the African continent to both harness the potential of mobility in the context of the climate crisis, as well as to address climate-forced displacement and migration. The discussions will be centered on the following; • Narratives and language that shape public perceptions of climate-related mobility; • The information gap on child-specific climate-related mobility; and • The protection gap manifested in the absence of children in policy and legal frameworks addressing climate mobility. Deliverables • Publish well-contextualized feature articles based on Africa Climate Mobility’s latest developments and discussions and decisions being taken to enhance climate action and the benefits thereof. • Update the social media platform of the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative COP 27 climate mobility discussions • I will produce the Climate Mobility COP27 report for Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum • Participate and contribute in the formulation of combined negotiations report to guide policy and planning by the Government of Zimbabwe and other activity implementation and programming by development partners focusing on Climate Mobility.
1307	Oluwadamilola	Akintewe	Forbidden Topics and Project Rebirth	https://tewedami.wixsite.com/damilolaakintewe	At 18, Oluwadamilola Akintewe launched an enterprise to intersect gender equality and climate justice through entrepreneurship. Her project, Project Rebirth tackled the issues of environmental degradation and climate inspired gendered financial violence by equipping low and no income rural dwelling women in Ondo state, Nigeria with free skills on sustainable fashion, recycling and sewing. With support from Ford (https://fordfund.org/nigeria/2020-nigeria) and her team of student leaders and social entrepreneurs, project Rebirth leveraged on partnerships, utilising skills acquisition to impact 142 women in earning a source of income generation while still fostering a positive mind shift towards climate advocacy and justice. https://tewedami.wixsite.com/rebirth-1 Now 23 years old, Oluwadamilola Akintewe continues to champion equality via feminist community building and policy tracking towards accountability in Nigeria. Via her other initiative, Forbidden Topics, it is an organisation amplifying women's voices for global change starting from rural communities, demystifying conversations that were considered a taboo and igniting a spark towards governmental policies and accountability. Her initiative have also supported 9 women led organisations and empowered 6100+ persons across 25 countries. In 2020, Oluwadamilola was the youngest on the "Top 100 women creating a better Africa" list with Madam Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Aya Chebbi and Sir Leaf Ellen Johnson. She was awarded the 2022 Princess Diana Award and became a One Young World gender equality ambassador. Her other recognitions include the 2021 ONE campaign's Samantha Singh Award for policy and development, Her Network "Woman of the Future" Award nominee and she's the only Nigerian finalist in the inaugural Chegg.org $100k Global Student Prize. Oluwadamilola is pro-youth engagement in leadership and believes there is NO future youth engagement in high level decision making. She is in her final year study for law, she researches and blogs on women's right, policy and sustainable development when she's not busy mobilising young women for change	I grew up on a plantation in Ondo State, Nigeria with farmer parents. Our pastoral lifestyle meant that by age 10, I had acquired indigenous knowledge on crop rotation, tracking seasons and soil fertility including a distinct hybrid yam bud developed by my great grandfather and passed down as a family secret. My world was however shattered at 15 when I saw a documentary on climate change, it had videos of elderly west African women, cooking with dried twigs. The documentary voice over said they are "destroying the planet." How can that be? This question inspired my enrollment in environmental law class during my undergrad law. There, I became the class representative and my flair for questioning and research grew into policy tracking. For climate mobility, I initiated my school's first World Clean Up Day event in 2018, engaging the student body and convinced my environmental law lecturer to award extra credits for my classmates who diligently participated. We packed up to 10 bags of trash at the inaugural program. A year later, I was awarded the "Best collaboration Award" by JCI chapter in my school for inspiring a mind shift towards climate action on campus. I also won the inaugural ONE Campaign Samantha Singh Award for policy and development. It was just the beginning for me. Growing up in a climate affected area and with my experiences as a feminist activist and mobiliser, I saw how inadequate climate financing had negative gendered impacts. It's why I launched an enterprise, Project Rebirth and equipped rural dwelling low income women with free skills on sewing and sustainable fashion. I led my team to raise $5000 in donations and grant, channeled it towards empowering the 142 women beneficiaries of the training with funds to startup up their eco-friendly fashion business through recycling, consequently tackling financial violence, inequality and mobilising rural dwelling women for climate justice. Since then, I have further championed gender equality intersectionality with climate justice, hosted digital conversations with renowned African climate activists on global south inclusion in climate discuss through my feminist initiative, Forbidden Topics, dedicated towards demystifying conversations deemed a taboo around women's riights. With a digital footprint across 25+ countries in a solidarity movement for women's rights and youth inclusion, I was awarded the 2022 Princess Diana Award and became a finalist of the Global Student Prize 2021. At COP27, there is need for accountability; on the unfulfilled financial commitment towards climate justice, on the lack of intergenerational leadership in climate policy drafting and implementation, and on the incessant portrayal of Africa as the sole contributor to climate change in global narrations when in reality, Africa contribute less than 4% of the total global emissions despite being the second largest most populated continent? Being ACMI Youth Forum delegate at COP 27, I can make my voice heard while demanding for accountability. Also, through my participation in side events, presentation & speaking engagements, I will be resounding the voices of the constituency I represent — young Africans.

1309	Queen Murjanatu	Attah	Sustainability Week Accra	Sustainability Week Accra	Queen Murjanatu Attah was born on February 11, 2000, as the result of the marriage of two persons from different countries. My mother resided in the city or urban surroundings, whereas my father preferred the countryside. My mother makes jokes about how animals, such as snakes, can recognize my father as an environmentalist and would not hurt him in comparison to people who lived in the city. As a child, I traveled extensively within Africa and became aware of various issues for which I had no word at the time. On one journey, I remembered a park that was flooded with water, and I had to go across it to get to the other end of the road, with water levels reaching my shoulders, which was terrifying. All of my experiences caused me to elevate my brows subconsciously, and voilà! I was initially struck by the concept of sustainability after high school and my second sermon was when I came across it in 2019 at the university of Ghana. Since then, I have successfully taken initiatives and joined youth teams addressing climate change issues. For example, I volunteered at Sustainability Week Accra to assist organize climate change conversations for university of Ghana students and beyond, moderated events, engaged panelists, and encouraged more friends to learn about environmental protection. Aside from that, I took it upon myself to raise awareness through my African fashion brand. Although the objective of my brand is to connect people to their African roots via fashion, I incorporated eco-friendly DIY packaging with a special statement to customers on how their packaging contributes to reducing waste as it is biodegradable. This is my small contribution to Mother Earth - my brand has delivered environmental friendly messages to Canada , france, six (6) African countries, and the United States.	Queen Murjanatu grew up in an environment where people threw trash in gutters to make their homes appear clean, and burned trash outside their homes with the intention of conserving or recycling waste. Indeed, this town I resided in had challenges such as clogged gutters, polluted air, especially on weekends, and the worst of all were those who lived closer to the finish point of garbage. They would always complain and make signs with the words "Don't Dump Rubbish Here," but when that did not work, they added "If caught dumping rubbish, you will be fined." As a result of all of this, several families were forced to migrate twice throughout the rainy season.I always felt bad whenever they moved. As a matter of fact, these were my humble beginnings as a volunteer. It is crucial to note that I have volunteered for the past four years in educating children from underserved communities in Ghana, where the majority of children are from migrated families, some of whom have migrated as a result of climate change or its ill effects. I occasionally stop some homeless people along the roadside when I'm out on my daily stroll to town to ask them why they're there. Fatima, a young girl, stated, "Anty, it's because we don't have job to do. When we grow crops, they die, there is no water, and because there aren't many chances, people start fighting, and we have to run for our life." I continued to inquire about her mother's whereabouts, to which she replied, "Somewhere in Niger." I am currently in this location with my father and two sisters. How can we address climate change to lessen the number of situations like Fatima's and other young children being uprooted and missing out on important childhood development, which I still wonder about to this day? According to UNICEF, weather-related disasters displaced 23.9 million people in 2019. Personally, I find these figures to be concerning, and I use the resources at my disposal to help bring about positive change. For instance, as a psychology major, I use my knowledge of humanitarian work psychology when I deal with these kids from underserved communities to give little tips and manners on how to protect the environment. Additionally, I am a core member of Sustainability Week Accra that is aimed at spreading the importance of biodiversity and climate priorities on all angles , especially to young people. Lastly, I make myself available for initiatives that promote change especially mobility since I have first-hand experience.

I am writing to share with you my great interest in becoming a delegate of the ACMI Youth Forum for COP27. It is important that the young people of our generation focus on the promotion of the green economy because climate change is today the phenomenon at the centre of economic, political and environmental issues, and because of this, States are called upon to take concrete actions in order to avoid the planetary climate cataclysm. Faced with the triple planetary crisis of climate change, loss of biodiversity and pollution, the Democratic Republic of Congo now presents itself as a solution. For this reason, I would like to participate and become a delegate because I am young and come from a country that is considered to be the answer to all climate-related issues.

1314	Auwal Ahmad	Musa	Geography Times	thegeographytimes.blogspot.com	Auwal Ahmad Musa is a 24-year-old Nigerian youth currently living in Gombe, Gombe state in northern Nigeria. He is a B.Sc. (Hons) Geography graduate from Gombe State University, Nigeria (Class of 2021). A teacher, tutor, Youtuber, and community advocate. He is the founder and CEO of Geography Times, an NGO aimed at climate awareness. Auwal founded Geography Times in August 2020 (as a final year undergrad) during the COVID-19 lockdown. The movement started as a Facebook page for sharing geography notes and a YouTube channel, and it metamorphosized to climate awareness in late 2021. This was due to the high prevalence of anthropogenic climate change drivers in northern Nigeria, leading to severe floods during the rainy season and drought in the dry season. He has also garnered significant professional experience working as an intern in the Ministry of Lands and Survey in Gombe. Part of his internship time was spent on outdoor data collection on areas affected by floods and severe erosion. The other half was spent on humanitarian actions to assist affected populations. In this section, he was exposed to the problems of climate change. In November 2021, Auwal led a campaign under Geography Times to sensitize people about tree planting and clearing drainages. The exercise was successful and more than 300 houses did not experience floods in the areas (Bajoga and Gombe) visited in the 2022 rainy season. It was so successful that the community leaders requested more interactions with geography times and aspired to continue the activity on a regular basis. Auwal currently manages a Facebook page (25,000 followers), a YouTube Channel (1000 subs and more than 180,000 total audience), and a news blog aimed at climate change awareness. His goal is to combine a background in studying natural processes that operate on earth and checkmate the impacts of our actions, such as drought, flood, pollution, and other uncounted consequences of human action. As a geography graduate, he is focused on implementing some suitable strategies in order to deal with the adverse effects of human activities on the environment. His dream is to get a PhD in environmental policy, followed by a professorship, to continue research and share his passion for discovery with eager young minds.	Climate change is the most important and immediate issue of my generation. Advocacy, academics, and others make it clear that developing countries like Nigeria are increasingly feeling the adverse effects of these changes. These countries’ exposure is aggravated by their lack of highly-skilled scholars with which to participate in complex negotiations. This deeply concerns me, and I feel compelled to pursue a path in which I can influence environmental policy so as to protect rapidly depleting resources. I aspire to work towards achieving sustainable and just development. During my undergraduate fieldtrip, I visited a town hit by the flood in Gombe, Nigeria. I visited slum dwellers who were still rebuilding their once shattered communities, and was struck by the scale of the disaster’s impact on the poor. It is a huge challenge to bring this human vulnerability into the collective consciousness, and climate negotiations and arguments about causal links move slowly and without sufficient recognition. I quickly realized that I needed to engage in a dialogue that prioritized the rights of affected populations. I started by organizing a small group (of university students) on climate action sensitization for the local population. The following year, the deserter’s impact was reduced by more than 80%. The department was impressed by my leadership potential and I was assigned to coordinate and oversee the tutorials, which led to higher improvement in students’ climate education. My impact will be less than 5% before I graduate in 2021. Later, during the COVID-19 lockdown, all schools were shut down and the only way of delivering knowledge in my university was campus-based. I quickly realized I had to act. I was afforded the opportunity to create a virtual class for one hundred level students and was able to cover all of year one's syllabus. It was successful because more than 90% of my audience got basic environmental education. I was also able to create a news blog, a Facebook platform (24,000 followers), and a YouTube channel (1000 subscribers and more than 180,000 viewers) (Geography Times) across the globe. The platforms are now used for both geography tutorials and climate awareness. At a later stage in my career, I was employed as a High School Geography Teacher under the National Youth Service Corps at Government Secondary School Tiga, Kano, Nigeria. I came to understand that most climate problems in the locality were anthropogenic in nature and were aggravated by a lack of environmental education. I therefore initiate tutorials on sundry geography and environmental education topics. This leads to achieving both required environmental education. There is a need for private activism for individuals to take on responsibilities because we cannot always wait for the government. I want to be a change-maker. I have a lot of big plans for the future, like being an environmental activist. With the skills I am going to get from attending COP27 in Egypt by connecting with scholars and advocates already in the policy making process, this goal will be achievable.

I have demonstrated experience in the process of project planning, the definition of annual and multi-year technical and budgetary plans, facilitation and supervision of the implementation of field activities, supervision and technical quality control of activities carried out by the implementation team, consultant, and partners (e.g., preparation of surveys, data analysis, report writing...), coordination of monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of an activity. Apart from teaching, I am the Head of the Geographic Information System and Remote Sensing Laboratory at UEA and an assistant at the Independent Forest Observatory at the same university. I work with several regional and international organizations such as GIZ/DFS, UNDP, CORDAID, FAO, OGV, MERCY CORPS, and MSH. I have five plus years of experience as a supervisor and Project Manager on the impact of environmental assessment projects. I led the reforest of more than 500 Ha, revitalized and installed new environmental clubs in high schools, produced educational manuals on the environment, animated radio programs, produced fertilizer briquettes based on digestate, produced paving stones based on plastic waste, produced paper briquettes for the kitchen, worked in collaboration with the South Kivu province to establish landscape maps for the province.

I have also more than five scientifique papers.	The human suffering caused by climate change has been a constant concern for me. I want to participate in this program because of its scientific and practical features in building capacity to produce and use information related to clean energy and climate change. This program is a great opportunity for me, as it will allow me to acquire new skills useful in my career. On the other hand, this program is of particular interest to me as an agronomist related to environmental issues because human life is a priority. Climate change affects every living thing on planet Earth, so I think this workshop is an informative framework that will allow me to understand climate issues and participate in decision making at the national, regional, and international levels. In addition, I wanted to learn more about climate change because the agricultural sector I studied is one of the most sensitive to climate change and one of the most affected by it. I was deeply concerned about the continued release of gases and the growing gap between rich and poor due to ineffective climate policies and underlying super structures. My desire for cleaner air, climate justice, and net zero emissions increased my interest in participating in the ACMI Youth Forum as a delegate for COP27. My motivations for participating in the ACMI Youth Forum as a delegate to COP27 are as follows. 1. To engage with global youth leaders on the climate emergency to exchange and harness actionable ideas to transform the climate crisis into a youth-led resilient, inclusive and sustainable development in Africa. 2. Gain up-to-date information on climate change adaptation and mitigation policies and strategies as a tool for resilience and sustainable development, especially in fragile and post-conflict countries where the impact of climate change threatens vulnerable communities. 3. Support the development of a youth-led initiative on the link between climate mobility and youth as a tool to address the impacts of climate change on youth, drawing on my substantial experience working with government institutions and civil society organizations. 4. to continuously educate my community on key greenhouse gases, their effects, and how to take action to stabilize these harmful gases. At the end of this program, I will return to my country well equipped with knowledge and experience that will benefit my university, as a teacher and researcher, my country and the African Great Lakes region. I hope to make good use of the network acquired through this opportunity to propose synergistic projects that go beyond our regional framework and bring multiform and sustainable solutions to our humanity.

Living in a big city in Dar es salaam where a lot of pollution happen, and individually as an individual I believe this forum would hep me achieve my wish to be one of the change makers in my society to help one another rescuing our world from climate change. In my final year of study, I did my dissertation about changing the source of electricity from hydro electricity to geothermal energy. My biggest motivation was about the climate changes and energy sustainability. With the list of knowledge, I had about Geomatics then derived it to geothermal was just an alarm for me that I need to do more to ensure that we combat the issues about climate. Becoming COP27 delegate would not only help me understand more about climate changes but also it would give me a platform to help other youth do better and teach better. As I have been going through the COP27 focus I would clearly see how it perfectly related to my motives. With my creativity in hand, I am looking forward to add value to this forum by using different tools to create awareness to the community about the climate mobility.

1326	Tuwilika	Shaimemanya			Tuwilika Shaimemanya is an Urban Designer and Architect. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in Architecture, honors' degree in City Planning and a master’s degree in Urban Design from the University of Cape Town. Her career objective is to do the best she can in the field of Urban Planning and Climate Change. She believes that urban planning is an ideal profession for women as it is driven from the innate desire to provide for a safe, healthy, and engaging environment to live in. Her interest in placemaking, climate change and creating great experiences for people, particularly women drew her to Urban Design. She believes that women’s participation in Urban Design ensures a comprehensive vision of urban planning and promotes a fairer and more equal access to urban goods. In 2021 she was awarded the Urban Design Institute of South Africa (Western Cape) Prize awarded to the top student in a Master of Urban Design programme. Her masters dissertation in 2021 titled: Spatial narratives: Redefining permanent gendered infrastructure for temporal female traders in Eveline Street, Windhoek, Namibia focused on providing women with access to transport, food and recreation. She has previously worked on various urban design and architectural projects in Namibia and South Africa. She has also been awarded the best Western Cape Government Local Area Project Prize in 2020 for her contributions to her final year project focused on providing high quality recreational green spaces in Cape Town, South Africa.	To whom it may concern, I would like to express my interest in becoming an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27. The threats of haphazard urbanization, climate change and man-made disasters awfully concern my mind to have a conscious look to the urban-environment. Climate change consequences are impacting not only our environment but human rights, poverty, inequity, global food security and health (to name a few) and are calling for rapid action and adaptation. This emergency, without precedent, requires bold and creative thinking. In my personal capacity as an urban designer and architect Iv'e explored design solutions which can help humanity mitigate and adapt to climate change, specifically in African cities, namely Johannesburg, Dar es Salaam and Nairobi through mapping techniques. This has been possible by incorporating modern technologies like GIS in a meaningful way of contributing to urban planning. As well as applying design strategies for mitigating climate disasters. Climate change and excessive population growth are problems that we have to overcome and completely change the way we use our limited resources, and even the way we design our cities. The experience and knowledge I’ve achieved, over the past several years in the field of urban design, architecture, city planning, and project management are my strengths for this particular youth forum. I hope to learn more about research being undertaken across the important field of climate mobility. With newly gained knowledge from the ACMI Youth Forum I hope to use this information to inform strategies for designing sustainable cities and integrating climate considerations into cities’ broader domestic infrastructure, development and urban planning processes. Thank you for considering my request, I look forward to your positive feedback. Yours sincerely, Tuwilika Shaimemanya
1327	Ayanle	Ibrahim Mohamed	ministry of finance of Somalia		Dear committee I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in environmental health at university of Bahri Sudan. After I returned my home country, I joined Norwegian people’s aid as a WASH officer, in addition also worked with the International Medical Corps, Somali mission as a public health assistant. I mobilized, sensitized, and advised communities on matters related to environmental health and COVID-19 at the community and health facility level. Furthermore to my exposure with schedule of activities, in 2017 I shifted my energies to work for Mogadishu Municipal, a higher local government organ in Somalia which to me was an elevation in my career path working as an environmental health Officer to date. Under the Municipal council, I have took part the standardizing of waste management and we increased public awareness ensure active participation in environmental protection activities and involvement in decision making through creation functional environment office in every district of town. In addition, I currently serve as a research officer at the Somali National university school of public health. I am focusing on community service, health care advocacy, and health equity. He is a strong advocate for women’s reproductive health rights. Over his decade in the health care field, I have also co-founded and led we are tomorrow leaders and acted as country director of the Slum to Rural Health Initiative. I am also an alumnus of the Young African Leaders’ Initiative, where I trained in civic leadership and management. In 2022 I obtained my master’s degree in sustainable development from university of Gondar through MasterCard scholarship, Additionally, I have been privileged to chair a climate change workshop organized by Somali environmental forum “how we can fight against tree cutting in our communities” Presently, I am policy officer at ministry of finance of Somalia in working in the public sector is crucial because that is where most important decisions policies are conceived and implemented and it offers the prospect of contributing national planning at the highest level.	Motivation of climate change delegate I would like to express my interest in becoming a delegate in Africa Climate mobility initiative (ACMI) to represent my country Somalia. Being a young African leader, and YALI alumni I realized that many African countries have been facing challenges of climate change due to unwitting the seriousness of this problem which led to not effectively take actions or come up with "homegrown" solutions to their myriad of challenges in order to promote sustainable development goals in organizing climate action. To add to that, my country-Somalia is not an exception to these challenges, currently Somalia is on brink of famine due climate change., this experience built in me a desire, motivation and interest to establish Public and environmental health a youth led NGO which offers awareness for climate change, training, mentorship and campaigns for better environment. . In addition, in six month, we successfully trained community workers, female health workers, and community volunteers in building their capacity and to become well informed for climate change mitigation, adaption and other public health emergencies. But the obstacles of false information, passivity, climate denial, and sluggish answers still stand in our way. Engaging scientific communication has essentially become a matter of life or death as the repercussions of climate change start to be felt, both ACMI and I use stories about climate change to engage audiences on both an academic and emotional level. I have also organized and taken part in various events such as Mogadishu Environmental summit where we brought Somali government ministries, NGOs and civil society to prioritize climate change issues across the country. Over time, I have seriously considered and made plans to broaden my network in the field of climate change, so that I am in position to play a vital part in rescuing my people from the clutches of droughts and other man-made catastrophes through innovations of fresh ideas toward climate change and increasing public awareness, therefore becoming a delegate for ACMI would be huge opportunity for me and my country. Currently I do admit that my network with international organizations that advocates for climate is limited I believe be part of ACMI will be great window for the betterment and change my community. If I become ACMI delegate I will use my delegate status to leverage many interventions of the climate change projects that is going in Somalia, including #greener Somalia led by Somali government especially ministry of environment and climate change.

1331	ROLE BOELDIEU	MOUK MABELE	THE ROEC		Name : Mouk Mabélé Role Boeldieu Country : Republic of Congo Track : civic leadership Bio : MOUK is a young promising congolese living today in Brazzaville, there where he went for his upper studies at Marien Ngouabi University. His level of leadership is defined by the capacity he shows to be fully at the service of his dear community. In fact, being equiped with a growth mindset, an infallible urge and propencity to erase social distinctions in his community, with his team, they have dedicated their lives in volunteering and assistantship. Every single year, he is used to visiting orphanages, bringing to vulnerable children his support be in food, clothes, education and most importantly his availability. As spokesman in one of the most known English centers in his City Brazzaville , Mouk has been and is always teaching English to his fellow citizens free of charge. With time, he has successfully helped a lot of people apply to different international organisations requiring English. Above all, he has also taught english in different entreprises like ITEL MOBILE PHONE company, NOVATRICE ASSURANCE enterprise, WORLD BANK AGENTS, DURQUAP AGENTS just to quote a few. Right after his bachelor’s degree in Physics, MOUK’s need to give a new narrative to climate crisis increased. In fact, his research led him understand how organic waste could be used like natural source of energy to escape from fossil fuel one. Aware that the biogas is a transit to a green, safe and healthy environment. He tried his first attempts ; he was totally flabbergasted by the power of waste. Today, he is working on it. His dear ambitions are to help his community transit from fossil fuel energy to a non carbon emission one. That is Mouk’s aspiration.	Since Stockholm 1972, the first United States conference on environment to different cops we have today, the climate change has always been in the center of all global issues. Our planet is in danger, Barack Obama asserted in a conference on global climate change plan 2015 “we are the first generation to feel the impact of climate change and we are the last generation that can do something about it “. it is obvious that the carbon pollution is the biggest threat for the global health and it is high time for all countries to revise the way we must cope with the nature. None is to be left behind, rich and poor, developed and developing countries have to come together with one leadership which will guarantee a greener and healthier environment for us all, as of today and for the generation to come. Our footprint to a brighter future will become footprint of a brighter future if we make a transition towards natural forms of energy by changing our geopolitics of energy based for so long on fossil fuel to energies like solar and most importantly the biomass which is accessible to all social classes. The Republic of Congo is a country where the geopolitics of energy is based since years on fossil fuel energy which is not always accessible to all social classes. Also, our incapacity to well managed organic wastes is contributing to pollution. I am not born in well off family and since my childhood, my mother has always met a problem with cooking .Sometimes she ran out of butane gas to cook for us and moreover we lived in blackout for we didn't have enough to afford electricity bills and butane for our gas stove. My mother had to cook with some woods she picked up here and there along the way. Actually, not only our family lived in such conditions but many more. So, i grew up with that anger, the anger to foster change. Right after my bachelor degree in Physics at Marien Ngouabi University, my research has led me to understand that our daily kitchen wastes could be turned into energy as gas to cook food, electricity to entertain families before a TV set program or to escape from the darkness. Since, i swore that those people including my dear mother will never going to suffer again for electricity shortage and i was going to do my utmost to help us transit to green energies. I am actively working on that. This is a golden opportunity to help the planet recover. Steadfast, ambitious, mobilised and very motivated, i will complete my mission at all costs .That's the reason why i am driven to submit my application to the ACMI for i strongly believe that together we can go further. Being in touch with people who have the same aspirations and dreams will give me another leadership momentum .Finally, i have been selected by the YALI program, East Africa, cohort 45 and in Civic Leadership track. I am looking forward to being delegated for cops to come.

In September 2021, He was also one the two Angolans delegate at the Youth4Climate event held physically in Milan, Italy, the Pre-Cop26 Youth Summit.	I am very motivated to participate in the CoP 27 based on my past experience in the Youth4Climate event in Milan, Italy last year, the Pre-CoP26. I understand that young people in every country are experiencing the effects of the climate crisis and many are seeing its devasting effects with their own eyes. Africa is also on the front line to fight climate change. But, the continent´s efforts alone are not enough! Global challenges always require global response. Hence, a collective global effort continuous to be needed, and that is precisely the reason why the World Youth Forum comes as a paramount platform gathering different global voices to agree on solutions for this world´s most pressing challenges. We would all agree that our planet needs help! Young people from all over the world have been drawing the attention of governments to the immense natural tragedy we are experiencing and the need to take concrete actions quickly to slow down the overtaking of the earth and to stop the completion of its resources. In every corner of the world, young people have been calling for an immediate change of course away from climate disaster. To empower students to be part of this solution and to combat growing climate anxiety, climate education must be a core curriculum component in every school. Education is essential for humanity to mitigate climate change, and change minds and behaviors to ensure we can succeed in our greatest challenge to make peace with nature. Additionally, with the aim to have young people everywhere strengthened to be agents of change towards a more sustainable future, UNESCO released the “ESD for 2030” roadmap with the goal of transforming education through action to advance policy, adapt learning environments, build the capacities of the educators, empower and mobilize youth and accelerate local levels actions. Therefore, formal and informal education are needed to support this goal, but also representation of the voices of youth at all levels of decision making. At the CoP 27, there is a need to amplify that the more we prepare our youth to be critical thinkers and consumers of information, the more prepared they will be to combat these issues or perhaps even prevent them from starting. It is imperative that we equip all students with the skills, knowledge, and most importantly, hope for a sustainable future bearing in mind that there is no job and no future on a dead planet.
1335	Clifton	Dawanyi	Education Coalition of Zimbabwe	http://www.ecozi.co.zw/	Clifton is a researcher, junior expert on governance, youth programming, student of development policy and young leader focused on knowledge prototype designs that contribute to community transformation. His work has developed within a well-built understanding of contemporary African development issues such as social and livelihood protection, human rights, and the realities of climate change among many other issues. He is interested much in the good governance agenda that occurs now increasingly alongside the current debate on state-building which encompasses issues such as accountability and transparency, corruption, conflict, and youth participation in policy making.	Clifton would like to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 so that he can champion environmental issues that are currently taking place in Zimbabwe and get lessons on how some of the challenges can be addressed. Africa and Zimbabwe, in particular, is investing at all costs in the extractive industries in the hope of unlocking the economic potential of the nation. However, this has come with serious consequences as unregulated extractivism is destroying ecosystems and resulting in profound biodiversity loss. To make matters worse extractivism is directly and indirectly linked to climate change. This link has affected the habitats of several species, which must either adapt or migrate to areas with more favorable conditions resulting in unanticipated potential conflicts for instance human-wildlife conflict. Complex and controversial issues associated with extractivism, climate change, biodiversity and ecosystems are often simplified within a narrow frame oriented towards the negative impacts at the site of extraction yet they have deep and underlying significances to places further from this site. Therefore, initiating dialogue between extractive companies, policy-makers and conservation organizations is urgent to come up with practical adaptation measures for humans, flora and fauna, given the suite of international agendas simultaneously requiring more natural resources causing more carbon emissions but less biodiversity loss. In addition, evidence suggests that climate change can impact the education sector directly (through effects related to the damage of education infrastructure; loss of education material; injury/mortality of students, teachers, and parents; and psychosocial stress resulting from exposure to extreme weather events). Plan International (2021) posits that girls’ education is often the first thing families sacrifice when faced with the impacts of the climate crisis. Girls are pulled out of school to help their families find food and water or take care of siblings. Therefore, Clifton is much interested on the discourse on climate mobility so as to amplify awareness on the effects of climate change of the right of education to girls and women in developing countries. He is a gender champion, a student of climate education who is passionate about transforming lives of young people on climate change and environmental awareness. Ever since joining the Education Coalition of Zimbabwe (ECOZI) he has contributed mush to the discourse on climate change and its effects on the right to education through coordinating advocacy work of the Gender and Disability Thematic Committee. Among the key activities that Clifton implemented in the past include coordinating and facilitating during roundtable dialogues for young people, adolescent girls and young women and policy makers on effects of Climate Change on the right to education. In addition, he also coordinated roundtable dialogues for young people with policy makers towards COP 26 Summit in 2021. Through coordinating the roundtable dialogues, he was involved in the development of a ‘Policy Outcome Statement,’ that fed into the Government of Zimbabwe’s commitments during the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) which was held in Glasgow UK on the 31st of October -12 November 2021.
1336	NELSON	OTIENO	National Organization of Peer Educators	www.nope.or.ke	Nelson is an enthusiastic environmentalist, a youth engagement and advocacy officer with over four years of experience in project management, youth engagement and advocacy in the non governmental sector. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Urban and Regional Planning with Information Technology from Maseno University in Kenya. Over the past two years, Nelson has advocated for meaningful youth engagement in agroforestry and environmental conservation, specifically to improve their livelihoods through training, commissioning, graduating and certifying youths using the Mazingira Ambassadors of Change (m-AoC) model. Currently as the Project Officer responsible for youth engagement and advocacy at National Organization of Peer Educators (NOPE), he manages and provides technical support to eight Agroforestry for Livelihood Empowerment (ALIVE) program core partners as funded by SIDA through Vi Agroforestry. Additionally, he oversees the Meaningful Engagement of Youth in Agroforestry for improved Livelihoods (MEYAL) project implemented in eight counties in Kenya. Nelson provides leadership in the implementation of biodiversity conservation projects in the North Eastern part of Kenya. Nelson is currently an International Aids Society (IAS) Youth Ambassador. He has previously worked in the non-profit health sector as a Project Associate in the implementation of the USAID & PEPFAR-funded DREAMS adolescents HIV/AIDS prevention program at NOPE. He has provided technical leadership, managed all MEYAL project activities, contributed to resource mobilization, ensured partnership with relevant stakeholders, built organizations’ capacities and contributed to the youth engagement in agroforestry policy formulation through VI Agroforestry platforms. Through these involvements, he has gained programmatic and technical skills in community mobilization and stakeholder engagement IN the public and private sectors. With a strong passion for youth involvement in health, ecosystems & agriculture for resilient thriving Societies, Nelson strives to achieve SDG 13 impact by finding the nexus between health and environment disparities in vulnerable communities and empowering young leaders.	My key motivation to becoming an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 is to represent the youth in such a high level conference about Climate Action. As I do this, I will be able to gain more knowledge and experience for national and international policy formulation on Climate Mobility. I am also looking forward to an opportunity to meet and network with key stakeholders in the Climate Action field. My key interest is in addressing the climate-forced displacement and migration that has been slowly but surely affecting Africans especially the youth. Though a global issue, I believe that climate mobility has affected more young people than the old. As a delegate I will purpose not only to represent but also raise the voice of the youth during each of the processes at the conference. Most youths and women have been affected by drought and floods more than anyone else. For example in my country Kenya, many young people are forced to stop going to school and move from one place to another to look for water because of the persistent drought. As an advocate for the youth I will make use of the opportunity as a delegate to come back to my country and effect positive change towards climate mobility. During the conference, I will be deliberate to share and impact other young delegates/attendees with my experience in the community with Mazingira Ambassadors of Change (m-AoC) model. A project I currently offer leadership on environmental conservation with over 800 youths who have volunteered across 8 counties in Kenya for improved livelihoods. I believe the (m_AoC) model can be adopted in other countries and globally to ensure the youth are meaningfully engaged in agroforestry for improved livelihoods and the reduction of Climate related mobility.

I am a graduate of computer science specializing in data science and artificial intelligence. I'm an active member of Africa Climate and Environment Foundation in which one of our goals is to fight climate change. I'm someone passionate about data to solve real world problems. I am very much interested in solving climate issues using data through Artificial Intelligence and data science.	I am an active member of ACEF, Africa climate and environment Foundation , in an effort to fight climate change. The objectives of ACEF are in unit with the sustainable development goals of united nations which address issues relating to poverty, climate change, Biodiversity loss, inequality, illiteracy, Environmental Degradation, health care, among others. This organization stand for the struggle to fight climate change, enough of the damages to our ecosystem, appreciate and conserve all in nature, take care of biological diversity. ACEF has started restoration by planting trees in Nigeria and Cameroon, carrying out massive cultivation of cashew plantation across Africa, conversation project in Kenya. But as time has gone on, I've realized that cooperation is essential to achieving this objective. I am applying to be in a forum with like minds with an intention to network and collaborate with other members. As an IT person, I realized We need to research and deploy more climate tech. Artificial intelligence has the high potential to both help us understand and accelerate progress towards the SDG targets including those on climate action. We've discovered that AI is a powerful tool for unleashing problem-solving capabilities and that one issue it can help with is energy use, a significant mitigating factor for climate change. it can help us develop new ways to generate energy. Also AI can analyse huge numbers of datapoints to predict how the climate is changing and also help in disaster response. AI can help save energy by making driving more efficients. As we know, how we travel around congested cities, siting in traffic, AI can make transport system more efficient while everything is moving in a most effective way. I am eager to learning from my counterparts at COP 27.

1351	KIGOZI	JOSEPH	PROME Consultants Limited	http://www.promeconsult.com/	Kigozi Joseph is a professional currently working with PROME Consultants Limited and is currently enrolled for a Master’s Degree in Construction Management at the Makerere University. In the past he has worked as an engineer on a number of building and road infrastructure projects in which sustainability was a requirement. He is also a winner of an Acknowledgment Prize for Middle East Africa for the project in Non-Motorized Transport at the recently concluded Lafarge Holcim Foundation Awards. He is an author of several papers on sustainable transportation with focus on active mobility in Africa. In the capacity as the champion of Capacity Building on the FIDIC Future leader committee of the Uganda Association of Consulting Engineers, he organized training and Knowledge sharing sessions both physical and virtual for young professionals in Uganda where we covered topics ranging from Leadership, Career Development, Climate change, and sustainable transportation. UACE also executed some Corporate social responsibility programs the most recent being drainage improvement at a local primary school in our community (Kamwokya Primary School). This CSR project provided a platform for us as young Engineers to inspire school-going children to keep in school to pursue professional careers to be the next changemakers in Africa after us. The papers, presentations, and awards have shone a light on sustainable transport modes such as NMT and now we see the Uganda government putting the focus on this mode of transportation within Kampala city with the planned expansion of the NMT pilot expected soon. He is also putting in place arrangements within the company to ensure that we calculate and publish the embedded and operational carbon of all infrastructure designs in order to make all our designs carbon neutral much as possible.	The entire world has been greatly tested to the very core in the last 2 years with far reaching challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia- Ukraine War. Whereas it is projected that the world is set to grapple with these many challenges for years to come I am convinced that the road to economic recovery starts with building back greener. It is my understanding that the ACMI occupies a unique position in this effort to ensure that we have a better world that each of the 7 billion people are proud of. A better world defined by affordable housing and geographical inter-connectivity for all, with special consideration of the vulnerable groups within the population. I submit to thee that the key motivation of my interest in this forum rests in my un shakable desire to contribute to this great cause. In my home country Uganda, the bigger proportion of the population works in the urban centers and cities. Available statistics indicate that in the capital Kampala, about 12.9% of the households live on less than 2 meals a day and 7.9% live in semi-permanent dwelling units. These statics represent the status of the urban poor who have to find ways to access the city work to be able to be able to have warm meal and a roof over their heads. The housing market in most cities in Africa dictates that the closer a housing unit is to a good transport infrastructure such as a paved road or public transport terminal the more expensive it is be to afford in terms of purchase, mortgage or rent. This situation has forced the many workers to seek housing further and further away from the city thus promoting urban sprawl. Urban sprawl has come with significant environmental, economic and social consequences. Urban sprawl has also led to higher emissions from road transport and loss of open space for the community. Those that have managed to obtain accommodation closer to the cities have had to accept low quality accommodation at a high cost. My core competence as an Engineer is Mobility and Transportation. In my opinion the dream of true prosperity can only be reached when housing infrastructure is developed hand in hand with mobility infrastructure. One of the biggest challenges we face today in our fight against poverty is our inability to connect with each other at a national level, a regional and global level. Enhancement of mobility is one of the key steps we can take towards bridging this disconnect. Mobility infrastructure enables the residents of the housing units access areas of economic activity where they can be employed or do business to earn enough to afford and maintain the housing. Scientific research shows that transport infrastructure development has a positive correlation with economic development. It is however pertinent that this infrastructure is developed in a sustainable manner being cautious of carbon emissions. The transition to green, climate resilient and all-inclusive mobility has a corresponding contribution to the globally agreed emission targets.

In 2017 I involved some community members of Dar es Salaam in solving challenges due to climate change through YALIGoesGreen But I have been experiencing challenges to meet the needs of youth due to lack of international knowledge about climate mobility. If my request will be responded I hope to initiate small groups of youths who are aged from 10 - 35,and women and men aged 36 - 45 in different villages teaching them about climate impacts and mobility – with a focus on the most vulnerable. Moreover, I expect to train pupils and students on growing trees in their schools so as to decrease global warming that is leading to huge climatic change in our contemporary world. I hope to get your special consideration that will have the opportunity to participate in global events and decision making.

1357	Bernadatte Korishaba	Bainomugisha	Nviiri Upcyclers		My name is Bainomugisha Bernadatte Korishaba and I like to describe myself as a passionate social entrepreneur. Professionally, I am a recent graduate of social work. I am a believer in the power of business to transform communities. I am driven by impact and I always endeavour to be part of the change no matter how small. Growing up, I was raised by a single mother in the peri-urban areas of Mbarara, a town in Uganda. My experience growing up taught me hard as I witnessed my dear mother struggling to fend for us. This taught me resilience and has influenced my attitude towards life. I have grown up to believe that women are as empowered as men if they decide to be and that change is fundamental no matter how small. Therefore, I strive to contribute rather than benefit. This has been my greatest motivation in co-founding Nviiri Upcyclers, a social enterprise that recycles synthetic hair and empowers local communities. This is not just my story, but its the story of Nviiri Upcyclers and the impact that it's destined for. I am privileged to be part of this story.	I am strongly driven to contribute to social change .I believe in the power of small steps to make a difference. I yearn to make any possible contribution to the fight against climate change and for this, I am interested in this fellowship. My contribution so far to the fight against climate change is Nviiri Upcyclers , a startup that is intended to reduce synthetic hair waste pollution in the environment. Provided that synthetic hair which is non-biodegradable threatens our eco system, Nviiri upcyclers' mission is to recycle this hair and reduce any harm to the environment arising from it's poor disposal. Being part of the COP27 would be life changing for me. I would want to be apart of this fellowship anywhere, any place, any time. Why? Because the fight against climate change means a lot to me, thus, I can not fold my hands when it's time to work. I want to be part of the move against climate change. I love social business passionately and it's my desire to use this passion to solve social problems and fight climate change.

The influx of natural disasters in our environment these days is very rampant and is greatly affecting the human race. Lots of floods, hurricanes, tornadoes and high temperatures.

She is a MasterCard Scholar and a current sophomore student at the United States International University-Africa(USIU-A) majoring in International Business Administration and a graduate of the prestigious African Leadership Academy(ALA) class of 2019. Additionally, Yassah is the first female President of the Montserrado County Students Union(MONSU), the second largest student movement in the republic of Liberia. At MONSU, Yassah oversaw the academic and social affairs of over 50,000 students,designed and strategized constitutions, work plans, and academic programs as well as advocating for the social and academic rights of students within Liberia. Moreover, between 2017 and 2019, Yassah volunteered at Messengers of Peace Incorporated where she served as the speaker of the Children's platform; managed action plans, organized programs, communicated with stakeholders and advocated for the rights of children. Furthermore, in 2018, Yassah volunteered at the Kofi Annan Institute of Conflict Resolution where she worked alongside other volunteers to design workshops centered around peace-building and she Independently organized a three days conflict and mediation workshop at the end of her service at KAICR. Not only that, she was also selected amongst thousands of youths across Liberia to introduce the President of the republic of Liberia, His Excellency George M. Weah at the annual youth dialogue with the president in 2019. Yassah recently joined over 100 young and emerging African leaders in the infamous city of Kigali to participate in the first edition of the Yale Model African Union conference.The conference was centered around leadership, African unity as well as the Sustainable Development Goals. Yassah aspires to become an agent of change in her community and her country at large and a beacon of hope for the young generation of Liberia.	Coming from a country that has experienced fourteen years of civil war, we as a nation have experienced the direct effects of climate disorientation and environmental hazard as a result of the arms and arminations that were used during the war. However, not much focus is drawn towards the aspect of climate change in Liberia since we are still focusing on rebuilding our economy and infrastructures among others. Notwithstanding, as a farsighted young woman, I do believe that it is possible for us to rebuild our economy and infrastructures while incorporating climate change in our nation-rebuilding manifestos as it plays an essential role in our existence as a nation.Accordingly, Liberia has suffered from a series of health crisis including airborne and waterborne diseases over the years. Therefore, my motivation stems from patriotism. From my passion to see my country progress and excel in all sectors and subsequently contribute to the global cause and the SDGs#13 that speaks about Climate Action. However,despite my passion being rigid about this cause, I understand that I may be lacking the technical know-how on how to go about putting my thoughts into action hence, I see this opportunity as a chance for me to gain an in-depth understanding about climate change and how I can successfully become an agent of change in this regard. Moreover, back in Liberia, I live around the beach-side. Residents of this environment experience major flooding during the rainy season due to the rise in the sea level as a result of the intensity in the rainfall. Being one of the inhabitants of this area, I have seen homes and properties being destroyed during the rainy season which is extremely traumatizing as we do not know whose home is next.What’s even more sad is the fact that we are aware of this happening every year and we have been coming up with various short-term solutions however, we are yet to come up with a sustainable solution to this problem as we are lacking the resources and the technical know-how on how to prevent future flood and erosion.Hence, the culture of flood and erosion still dwell amongst us.

I have done a course on climate crisis: addressing five key areas of change, organized by the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI NETWORK) and also serve as a member.	Our climate is changing. Temperatures are rising and devastating extremes of weather are becoming ever more common. The world has proved slow to respond, with mitigation plans falling far short of what is needed to preserve the planet. In the words of United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres: “The state of the planet is broken”. We are all affected. No matter who you are, or where you live, climate change will impact upon your life. But those with the greatest vulnerabilities are likely to bear the greatest burden: and the most vulnerable are the world’s children. Not all people forced from their homes are children. But a great many are and, of course, it is children who are the least equipped to cope with the life of uncertainty and trouble that comes with being cast from your home. This climate crisis and it's resultant consequences is my motivation on climate mobility especially in finding ways to mitigate these.problems. This made me to do a course a course on climate crisis: Addressing five key areas for change organized by YALI NETWORK. During, the course we are taught what climate change and mobility mean, their causes and effects and ways to mitigate them. I'm highly motivated to furthering and anchoring program on ways to solve the global climate crisis and mobility.

1373	Shamim	Naluyima	Reform Africa	www.reformafrica.com	I am a social entrepreneur with a vision to fight plastic pollution. In 2018, I founded Reform Africa, a social enterprise that envisions to transform Africa's waste into wealth through designing and transforming plastic waste into environmentally and socially responsible products that supports the local communities in Uganda. Growing up, my entire life revolved around the rain. Living in a slum community in Kampala meant that when it rained all of my classes were cancelled and I would have to miss school, something that saddened me deeply. Even worse, during particularly unforgiving seasons of rain, entire homes in our neighborhood would flood. I remember days when it would rain so heavily that my family and I would have to spend the entire night draining water out of our home. These harsh conditions were one of the consequences of having poor garbage and plastic waste disposal systems in the area. Poor management of waste meant clogged drainage channels which, of course, exacerbated the recurring flooding. Reflecting on the hardships of my past, I decided to use my experience and knowledge to make a positive change in my community. My story has been recognized by CNN, Voice Of America, International Monetary Fund. won awards like the SEED Award, Because International, Social impact award, Recycling Heroes.	I am a change maker, wastepreneur and an environmentalist from Uganda. I am passionate about changing people’s lives and saving the environment and for the passed 7 years I have committed myself to servant leadership and changing the mindset that most people have towards plastic waste. l hold a mini MBA from sinapis entrepreneurship academy, this helped me to understand more of the technical and not just theoretical benefits of environmental sustainability. l have actively participated in the collection and analysis of data for development of the 2018 state of environment report. in December 2018, i undertook an analysis of plastic waste management in Kampala city, a case study of Bwaise slum where she grew up from. this helped me in Establishment of REFORM AFRICA
1374	Titilope	Ogunsakin	Obafemi Awolowo University		My name is Titilope Grace OGUNSAKIN, I was born in Nigeria and I have lived in Nigeria for the past 23 years, I studied agricultural extension and rural developement at Obafemi Awolowo University(OAU) Ile-Ife and I am a practicing agriculturist. After studying agriculture at OAU I proceeded to take an online course at university of western Australia in order to acquire further knowledge on sustainable agricultural practices. I am an aspiring researcher in the field of climate change and agriculture. I studied critically the outcome and results of COP26 which was held in Glasgow, Scotland, where it was recognized that improving sustainable production and animal health can contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions thereby bringing reduction to the world’s carbon footprint. I participated in an agribusiness conference organized by Sahel Consulting, Agriculture and Nutrition Limited when I was an undergraduate where the various value chain of agriculture was analyzed and the problems of each chain was established. One of those challenges is the problem of post-harvest loss which is a common threat to food security in many countries and a smart way to meet the first and second Sustainable Developmental Goals of the United Nations (SDGs) which is ‘No Poverty’ and ‘Zero Hunger’ is by reducing post-harvest loss to the barest minimum. Which is the reason why I took a course on global post-harvest loss prevention at the University of Illinois where I learnt that post-harvest loss has a potential effect on food security and nutrition, and that reduced losses will make farm products available and accessible to the people thereby reducing hunger and it provides higher income for farmers which in turn cause a reduction in poverty level. I am a project management professional and currently I am a member of Young African leaders Initiative (YALI) which is the United States’ signature effect to invest in the next generation of African leaders. Where I have completed various courses on Responsible leadership and team building, management strategies for people and resources.	Mobility or migration due to extreme climatic condition has been a bone of contention in Nigeria between the northern and the southern parts of the country. Normads are the most affected set of people as they have to relocate to an environment with sufficient forages for their cattles during extreme weather conditions. This has made many nomads to desert their home and move to the south. I live in the southern part of Nigeria and during the dry seasons when the nomads move to the south the scarce resources becomes exploited. Our crops are usually destroyed by cattles during grazing leading to loss of outputs and soil degradation this has led to various disputes between cattle herders and farmers in Nigeria and sometimes it led to serious crisis which in turn has led to loss of lives and properties. How then can situations like these be avoided or stopped, what is the solution to this problem? In 2010, there was a situation of non stop rainfall for about 10 days this led to an immediate migration for my family from our place of abode then to squat with a family member due to overflooding, our whole house was covered with water and we all had to escape for our lives living our home behind, it was unplanned, myself and my siblings had to suspend school due to the unforseen circumstance we found ourselves, it took months before we could get a hold of ourselves and come back together as a family. This event has a longlasting impact on my family because we have never lived with someone else, we have always been living together as a family. The mobility caused us to live where we would have never thought we would live. I want to be a part of ACMI youth forum delegate for COP 27 in Egypt because I am an aspiring climate change researcher and climate mobility is directly related to climate change. It is an oppourtunity for me to acquire relevant knowlege on the effects of climate change on climate mobility as well as also learn about policies put in place to succour those displaced or affected by climate change in Africa most especially Nigeria.
1375	SAMUEL MUORIA	NG'ANG'A	ECOPRO INITIATIVE COMMUNITY BASED ORGANISATION	https://www.ecoproinitiative.org/	I am the Co-Founder of Ecopro Initiative (http://www.ecoproinitiative.org/)a youth group registered in year 2015 as a Community Based Organization registered in Kiambu county ,We operate at Kikuyu and Kabete area. Our main aim is educating community and creating environment conservation awareness platform https://www.facebook.com/Ecopro-Initiative-546324615470840/?ref=bookmarks by doing projects that ensure sustainable resource management in Kenya through empowering young people in green entrepreneurship initiatives . Currently we are engaged towards Ondiri swamp conservation in Kikuyu, Kenya gazettement as a wetland and fencing this would safeguard illegal harvesting of the grass, fire outbreak, extraction of water and deforestation along the riparian land of Ondiri Swamp. We are currently celebrating important World Environment Days such every 2nd February “World Wetlands Day under the theme Wetlands and Climate Change) https://swara.co.ke/call-to-save-kenyas-ondiri-swamp-and-its-quaking-bog/ by doing tree planting and clean up events we engage the community on why it is important to conserve and protect Ondiri because of its critical source of water for Nairobi and surrounding communities. Currently few bird species including crested cranes are gone because there habitat for nesting has been destroyed.By engaging young students clubs and community ,there is potential to revive Ondiri wetland to its former glory .Ondiri wetland in Kikuyu has potential for eco-tourism and recreational	Environmental challenges such as climate change, pollution, deforestation and resource scarcity are as a result of human impact on the environment. In Kenya the impact of these environmental challenges to our society and economy is felt and is leading to loss of biodiversity, pollution, bad health, unemployment, poverty, natural disasters such as droughts and floods among others. The effect of climate change is already being felt in Kenya with the unreliable rainfall and changes in weather patterns .Currently through Ecopro Initiative CBO I been engaged in restoration of Ondiri Wetland in Kenya that faces loss of natural habitats and environmental degradation through destructive anthropogenic activities as a result of industrialization, urbanization and population increase, environment issues of concern in the county include water abstraction and pollution which is a threat to the wetland , excessive overexploitation for resources due to increasing demands , excessive extraction of water and invasion of alien species, bird poaching and illegal collection of eggs. In a time of decreasing natural resources, rapid population growth and urbanization there is need re-focus our development pathways to innovative approaches that can help society, economy and environment adapt and mitigate effects of climate change.I am therefore motivated to address biodiversity loss in developing country such as Kenya where we are extracting more resources than the earth can regenerate. I am applying to represent children and youth who are voiceless and left behind when negotiations are ongoing , I have been actively following ACMI irole in the negotiations and am very interested in supporting this and other programs . I believe I would bring valuable skills, experience and knowledge to the support of publications, event managments and other priorities in the Climate, Food and Agriculture sector.

I work in an Agro firm in Benue State called Farminfortech Nigeria Limited. I'm currently pursuing a degree in B. A Linguistics and I'm at the final level.	The organization where I work as a secretary, deal with small farmers using smart agriculture for climate change adaptation/amelioration. The aim is to use green belt for carbon reduction. We have Plantations on Oil plam, Moringa, Jatropha and sugar cane with the aim of establishing great green belt. We are working towards Clean Development Mechanism with saleable certified emission reduction. The plantation model is a climate smart_agriculture that helps the plantation productivity and resilience to the impact of climate change such as: drought, flood, epidemic while also creating carbon sink that help reduce net emission. In turn, our model will help in job creation to the teeming youths, boost food security, global climate security and above all, increase the income and revenue of farm families. With a concept as such, we're on the pathway of Suistainable Development Goals (SDG's) 2050 target. We look beyond this youth generation, to unborn generations. Our smart agriculture model is a climate mobility encompassing program, that looks outside and inside the box. We intend to achieve that through actionable plans and strategies which will involve youths as successor generation of climate change ambassadors. Women, Children, elderly and disabled people are also included in the framework and implementation of our programs. This we intend to achieve in focal points.

I grew up in the coastal region of Cameroon, in a town called Douala. I am a climate activist and presently the country coordinator of Catholic Youth Network for Environmental Sustainability in Cameroon. Part time, I volunteer with several Organizations such as One Billion Trees for Africa and I am part of the African Union Youth Advisory Board. I am also a part time article writer . I am purpose driven and service oriented. Moreover, I enjoy reading and discovery, and I am fluent in English and French.	The topic on climate change is a tough one trying to make the world see the reality of what we are going through especially in Africa without attributions to spiritual aspects. Growing up in the coastal region of Cameroon, I grew up in a once environmentally save surrounding to a toxic and vulnerable environment. The cluster pattern of building houses and careless disposition of plastics led to the blockage of water paths hence causing floods. This motivated me to engage in climate action. My journey started in 2017 with personal community engagements under the veil of a name " Organization for Indigenous Initiative and Sustainability". Given my displacements for studies in another town, I was unable to fully register the Organization yet continued to carry out activities. In collaboration with a recycling company in Douala called NAMé recycling, I engaged in sensitization and campaigns in public places such as markets and institutions such as schools. With the advantage that I was bilingual, I led the project which in turn was a great success. Furthermore, as part of my master's thesis, I worked with the Cameroon Conservation Society as a research intern studying the impact of water exploitation on local development. The data gathered was used to design further projects in the Organization. Moreover, I worked as a project facilitator with an organization called ABIOGeT in 2021 whereby I coordinated several capacity and knowledge building workshops with youths and women. At the end of the workshops with young people, we awarded scholarships to the best performed and most zealous young people. Presently, I work as a country coordinator with CYNESA. As part of our mission, we want to ensure Indigenous based initiatives can be used for environmental Sustainability. As part of our activities, we want to train young people in plastic recycling. Also, I am an active onsite and online climate advocate especially on Twitter (Anne_Tansi). It has been my hope to be part of the COP and a contributor to the policy making that concern youths. Your consideration to grant me this opportunity will be of great benefit not only to me but as well to my Organization. Thank you.

Prior to his appointment at C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, Wilberforce worked on providing technical assistance and advisory on Sustainable Mobility and Energy Storage to cities, local governments, municipalities, and private sector clients and SMMEs, delivering on projects in Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas. He has authored and published several publications in Electric Mobility and Sustainable Transportation. Wilberforce holds a Masters in Engineering (M.Eng.) in Transport, a Master of Business Administration (MBA) with Project Management specialisation, and a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Civil Engineering. He is also a Net Zero Accredited Professional (Carbon, Water, Waste, and Ecology) by the Green Building Council and was shortlisted as the 2020 Graduate Engineer of the Year by the Institution of Civil Engineering.	Climate change is a global challenge demanding urgent action. Changing weather patterns are directly correlated with reduced resilience of communities, making them more vulnerable to the displacement of populations, poverty, and disease outbreaks, particularly in the global south. The lock-in effects of poverty, rapid urbanization, motorization, and climate change mean that today's decisions would determine future human and environmental outcomes. My current work in this area involves providing technical assistance and policy advisory to national, provincial, and municipal governments on sustainable mobility and designing transformational urban mobility management frameworks. With vast experience researching and understanding the African and Asian mobility and urbanization dynamics, and capacity building, my work has spanned several developed and emerging countries. I increasingly noticed from the projects and studies I was involved in that transport emissions have a heavy disproportionate impact on public health and the environment. I, therefore, focused my career on alternative energy and sustainable mobility, including electric mobility, non-motorized transport, micromobility, renewable energy, walkability, and cycling, to create a new paradigm for clean, safe, and inclusive economies and the building blocks for vibrant and sustainable societies. I believe the ACMI Youth Forum for COP27 is an opportunity to exchange views with top global sustainable mobility leaders and make the case for more sustainable and inclusive actions in climate and mobility. The discussions around the key challenges in moving towards more sustainable mobility systems in Sub-Saharan Africa, filling knowledge gaps, and the steps required for the implementation of comprehensive and integrated sustainable mobility systems are especially pertinent. It is evident that the world cannot meet its development needs without integration between stakeholders: private sector, governments, NGOs, civil societies, and international development organizations. Because of the complexity and interconnectedness of today's challenges, no organization or project can do it alone, as each has its limitations in reach, approach, experience, and institutional, operational, and capital constraints. All stakeholders should act beyond organizational borders and build partnerships across the value chain to sustain and maintain progress. The Covid-19 pandemic has also shown that no country can isolate itself, as the world is interconnected. I am convinced that it is crucial to stress the global dimension and relevance of benchmarking with approaches and solutions from other countries. That is what I see as the premise of the ACMI Youth Forum and the sessions with top international experts on the full range of policy and practical issues associated with sustainable mobility and the clean energy transition offered in the program. I look forward to implementing the learnings and insights from the ACMI Youth Forum in my work and projects that directly impact my community. Those learnings would aid in confronting the climate crisis, promoting sustainable mobility, and making efficient use of natural resources to reap environmental, economic, and social benefits in the transition to a low-carbon trajectory. I will invest these lessons in my work to create a bigger impact in the coming years. Sincerely, Wilberforce W. Chege

How do they bond to each other and form different types of materials? What law’s role in these reactions? How can we use our knowledge to satisfy our basic and human needs? Those questions inspired my interest, curiosity and feed my passion, as a consequence, I read a lot in science trying to make experiments we study to my friends and explain them to their science I was in school So, I decided to join the college of science to major in chemistry to have the academic background that helps me to understand why and how materials react with each other! During my study, I was introduced to different fields. Among those fields was the field of Climate change and environment. As Egyptians, we are suffering from climate change besides depending on the energy resources that increase global warming and the greenhouse effect so, I decided to focus my research on Climate change and the green energy we get from atoms. Africa Climate Mobility Initiative is my way to meet new people with same interest of mine to enrich my skills to be a highly skilled researcher, this would be a moving step towards my longer-term professional goal to have the ability of decrease the climate change and spread awareness between people, contribute with the global research community to overcome this problem in Egypt and Africa, participate in Open Africa power 2022 programme is what I am looking for to make a huge step up in my life.

I was brought up in the semi-arid division of Muhotetu,Laikipia county overcoming all odds to follow my dream of delivering life touching service to the community. I'm currently in Taita Taveta,a county that has been severely hit by the ongoing drought,and whose close proximity to Tsavo national park,the largest park in Kenya has led to an increased rate of human-wildlife conflict,with many shifting from their farming and livestock activities and moving to safer grounds,or even urban centres. My advocacy on environment conservation and reporting on climate change has seen the adoption by the community,of various practices such as planting drought resistant crops. However,due to lack of support by NGOs has slowed down my progress,but I'm positive that much should be done to help the residents bear the ongoing drought as well as have a platform where their grievances should be addressed by the Kenya Wildlife Service.	I've been an active reporter on climate change, ecosystem and environmental degradation and I'm banking on my experience and community engagement skills to get a stage where I can give ideas and get an avenue to learn alot,and bring home solutions to my county. The ongoing human-wildlife conflict has been as a result of drought,where residents have in many occasions crossed paths with the Kenya big five(Elephant,Rhino,Leopard,Lion,Buffalo)from Tsavo,with many losing their cattle and crops to starving wild animals. Children skip school due to fear of these animals,with a section of these people abandoning their homes and moving to urban centres to try their hand in business,which has subsequently led to a decrease in food production.

As issues related to climate change and global warming start to occupying large spaces on our tables, it is high time that we also made preparations to address them in a holistic manner. My motivation came as a result to incentivize collective actions create innovation that will secure our planet to create a sustainable and equitable future for everyone, because climate change is a critical issue, I started considering it as an issue of the highest relevance in addressing climate change and global warming. Moreover, my interest is to clear about the cause climate change activists are trying to address. Not just end up addressing the effects while the cause continues to remain the same. For example, deforestation lead to loss of livelihood due to land degradation. But here it is not just enough to address livelihoods by introducing new sources of income. The actual cause of the problem is climate change. Therefore, my motivation is to delve deeply into the problem and reach to a cause that can be practically addressed. To advocate at micro and macro-level on raising awareness on global warming among communities by organizing media campaigns, awareness workshops and other means of information dissemination by looking at human activity such as farming, irrigation, electricity consumption, etc is leading to some change in the weather. Sensitizing government officials and private agencies on climate change is also a relevant area of intervention. One of my most motivation is to integrate gender into climate change approaches to address it. Since climate impact impacts equally on women and men.

Currently, Emmanuel is pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Land Use and Environmental Science at the Department of Soil Science, University of Cape Coast, Cape Coast, Ghana, after having completed a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) degree in Land Use and Environmental Science at the same institution. Emmanuel had a RUFORUM travel grant to Kenya in October 2018 to present some findings from my research work during RUFORUM Biennial Conference. Subsequently, he won a 6-month scholarship under the Intra-Africa Mobility (ACADEMY) project funded by the European Union (EU) to carry out research work and also audit some courses at Kenyatta University, Kenya in the 2019/2020 academic year. Last year, Emmanuel led a Team – Team Biochar, to compete for the WegePrize 2020 project award, for which we won the finalist award. He also won a 3-months scholarship to participate in the British Institute of East Africa (BIEA) Graduate Attachés Programme. In addition to that, he was part of the team (AkuafoLink) who won the Best Web Monetization Solution Prize for the 2020 AfricaHacks. Last year, Emmanuel was awarded the Dean’s Award of Excellence for producing an outstanding thesis. In addition, he won the Global Citizen Scholarship Programme 2022 (SDG Micro-Project award) early this year, he was also selected among the 500 selected candidates for the United People Global (UPG) Sustainability Leadership programme of which he has been certified as a UPG sustainability leader. Recently, he won the 2022 African Plant Nutrition Scholar Award. He has published more than ten (10) peer-reviewed articles in reputable journals. He also reviews papers for Scientific African (Elsevier) and Africa Journal of Agriculture (Academic Journals). His hobbies include reading Scientific journals and other publications, football, leisure and recreation. Emmanuel is a self-motivated, results-oriented, team player with deep commitment, a quick and confident learner with very good leadership abilities. He is also purposeful with the ability to plan, organize and prioritize workload to meet objectives within time limits. I have strong analytical, problem-solving, training, IT and presentation skills. Emmanuel wishes to establish research networks with renowned and experienced soil and environmental scientists and experts in other agriculture-related disciplines that will enable me to design, implement and evaluate laboratory- and field-based soil and environmental management research projects to improve the ecosystems services, resilient agricultural practices which are climate smart that Sub-Saharan African (SSA) can produce delivering the order to ensure food and nutrition security for the burgeoning growing population.	My solution is to design and implement an affordable and climate-smart agricultural waste management system by converting agricultural wastes into biochar and compost that can be used to improve soil fertility, increase crop yield, enhance food security, prevent environmental pollution and essentially climate change mitigation which at the long run would help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as no poverty, no hunger, clean water and sanitation, good health and well-being, and climate action since it’s a decade of action. I realized that most actors along the agricultural value chain find it difficult to handle the waste generated along the chain, this makes them dispose of the waste indiscriminately either by open burning, deposit unto landfills or burying them in landfills. Open burning of agricultural waste release greenhouse gases (most especially carbon dioxide) into the atmosphere. Burying the agricultural waste and depositing the waste in landfill also contribute to greenhouse gas emissions (methane). In addition, the continuous application of inorganic fertilizers contributes to nitrous oxide emissions. However, livestock production is responsible for 14.5-16.5 % of global greenhouse gas emissions and causes significant environmental degradation, from biodiversity loss to deforestation. When these gases get into the atmosphere it depletes the ozone layer which contributes to global warming leading to climate change. The group of people who are benefiting from my solution are farmers, students, and extension officers. So far, I have worked with about thirty (30) farmers who have accepted the idea and practiced, engaged a hundred students (100) students and nine (9) extension officers who were taught the science behind biochar and compost in terms of their preparation, application, rate and time of application. The use of agricultural wastes for the production and preparation of biochar and compost will help to reduce greenhouse gases released from anthropogenic activities. Thus, open burning, dumping of waste unto landfills, livestock production, and application of inorganic fertilizers. Biochar sequesters a lot of carbon and therefore serves as a climate change mitigation tool. The application of biochar as a soil conditioner is a climate-smart agriculture practice for resilient and climate adaptation strategy. Biochar is attracting a lot of attention due to it positive impact on the soil and the environment but it is still at it infancy in most countries. Therefore, I believe that the COP27 is a great opportunity for me to spread the good news about the innovative idea and expand my frontiers, thus contributing to climate smart agriculture.

I read the information about the call for applications - Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum on the official website, and I am writing to express my interest in this opportunity, as this chance is very interesting and important due to the current situation of the whole world and the progress and development in various fields of education and careers, and also because climate change is a global occasion, and each person is related with. With this letter, I'd like to express my interest to have a part in this important appropriate, and I am keen on Getting to know foreigners, as this event will let me widen my communication circle. I've dealt with foreigners before in many situations one of them was the water symposium in Alexandria. I've also attended some modules for studying water, WEF nexus, and the scarcity of water in the whole world. In addition, some events and conferences they've done in the faculty under the supervision of various Egyptian stakeholders and speakers. I was and still am a member of a team of the Student Union Committee, I've learned the importance of time management, and some decision-making skills. I've also attended many lectures about climate change. In South Sinai Nuwebia, I took an internship at Habiba Community, and there I learned about the reasons and the effects of climate change on the Bardawil Oasis and the importance of Lake Bardawil, and how it's dried up because of a lot of sedimentations the unfair usage of the lake and neglecting its importance. I am confident that I will be able to achieve expertise in the subject and my career goals by enrolling in this program. Thank you for considering my letter, and I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, Manar Mohamed Hashem.
1390	MIKE	MUKENDI	WORLD YOUTH PARLIAMENT FOR WATER /DR CONGO	https://youthforwater.org	I am Mike MUKENDI, from the Democratic Republic of Congo, I live in Kinshasa. I am a student in Science of Technology and an Environmental Activist passionate about issues related to Water, Climate, and everything related to biodiversity. I work in several youth advocacy platforms both locally and internationally assuming different roles such as: President of the Youth Parliament for Water in the DR Congo, Activity Manager of the Youth Movement for the Protection of the Environment, Member of the Water and Climate Network of Youth Organizations in Central Africa, Effective Member of the NGO Health and Education for All and finally Volunteer at Green Peace Africa. Throughout my career in this sector, I have received several MOOC training courses organized by the Institut de la Francophonie pour le Développement Durable, including: "Environmental assessment of development policies and projects", "Understanding and analyzing the issues and sustainable development actions”, “Law and protection of the environment organized by the Institute of la Francophonie for sustainable development”. I followed a training on the Communications Initiative training program during the World Water Week, I received a Certificate of recognition for the active contribution in the crafting of the water and Climate Youth Development Plan and Agenda through the Dushanbe Water Process Pre-Conference Session II last 22nd May 2022. I had the opportunity to participate in the World Water Forum which was held in Dakar, Senegal in March 2022, I will also participate in an UNLEASH Innovation Laboratory which will be held in Bangalore in December . I have worked on various projects for access to water in the midst of conflict, the fight against climate change and on several advocacy, awareness-raising and capacity-building workshops across the city of Kinshasa in the DRC.	Learning and increasing my knowledge of water and climate issues has always been a priority for me; I attach great importance to it. My country the DRC is rich in freshwater resources but the vulnerable population does not take full advantage of them. It should be noted that only 35% of the Congolese population has access to quality water. The majority of the population living in rural areas often suffer from waterborne diseases linked to the consumption of unsanitary water. We cite: typhoid, cholera, amoebiasis. I am motivated to participate in this COP 27 in order to acquire knowledge, new skills and participate in changing the situation in my country with regard to water-related issues. Having worked locally in the climate sector, I would like to share my experience with other young climate activists around the world during this COP 27 and as a delegate I would be delighted to facilitate sessions related to certain themes.

1393	Salim	Mushi	Tanzania Pulses Network	www.tanzaniapulsesnetwork.co.tz	I am Salim Hamadi Mushi, a young male Tanzanian 30 years of age holder of Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Kampala University. I am passionate about the climate change issues and UN SDG’s (sustainable development goals;2: zero hunger 12: responsible consumption and production and 13: climate action. At the organization level; my work at Tanzania Pulses Network (TPN) has been advocating for resilient and sustainable food systems in Tanzania. With the change of climate pattern and environment distress in different parts of the country production of pulses; common beans, pigeon peas, cow peas and green gram are mitigation to the climate change problems and helps in improving the living conditions of people. Pulses crops, refers to the dried beans helps in nitrogen fixation in the soil which is about 30% from air pollution and convert it into fertilizers. It means growing more beans in the community not only will helps in mitigating the air pollution but also improving diet rich in iron and protein which will helps in fighting malnutrition. Besides, most of the pulses like pigeon and cow peas require small amount of the rainfall to grow and flourish. Many parts of the Tanzania are faced with prolonging drought conditions influenced by change in climatic conditions, therefore advocacy on smallholder’s farmers to grow pulses crops especially in Arusha, Manyara, Singida and Dodoma has helped to reduce the effect of climate change. At the personal level, I have been participated in organization and attending different workshops, seminars that align with the advocacy on clean energy and renewable resources, waste recycling systems and food resilient systems in Tanzania and East Africa. Workshop and field trainings bring together youths, partner organizations and government leaders in joint effort towards risks mitigation from adverse climate change effects. On February 10,2022 Tanzania Pulses Network (TPN) commemorate the World Pulses Day with the motto ‘Pulses to help youths in achieving sustainable agri-food systems. The event was done in collaboration with FAO Tanzania, AMDT and SEIDA. According to the studies 4600 tons of waste is produced daily in Dar es Salaam, with only 19% percent being recycled, 2% being burned while 79% remains in the environment. Recent activity on Climate issues, I have attended was ‘Youth Training on Renewable resources’ which was organized by Youth Achievement Village in Tanzania at Kibamba- Dar es Salaam. The training hands on guidance and practical training on making renewable energy sources such as bricks and charcoal from recycled wastes. I apply to become youth delegate at the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI)- Youth Forum- COP27, because it is the platform where it will bring youths from different parts of the Africa, sharing experience and innovations about climate change issues, strategies and provide synergy among delegates in solving the current climate change problems that are facing our community. Besides, I hope to bring back home in Tanzania shared experience and innovations and networks during the conference.	WHY WOULD I LIKE TO PARTICIPATE AT THE ACMI Youth Forum Foremost, the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum- COP27 which will be held in Egypt it is youth forum that will bring youth from different parts of Africa with different perspective about climate mobility issues. It is forum where by youth will get a chance to speak, engage, share and discuss matters related to the climate; pollutions, rise in temperature, extinct of some of animals and plant species, prolonging drought on agriculture land. Also, it will widen up my mind and knowledge about the climate mobility. Besides, sharing of experiences will bring several ways to mitigate the effects of climate conditions among the participants. Learning impacts of climate from other regions, ways to curb the effects, challenges and opportunities that arising from the climate mobility issues. Connection and networking, it will provide me with an opportunity to connect with different professionals and youths from different parts of the Africa continent. It will help me in further engagement and follow up on joint efforts among stakeholders in fighting adverse climate conditions in our communities. Lastly, fulfilling my role and participation in achieving United Nations 17 Sustainable Development goals (SDG’s). I am ambitious towards contributing to goal no.1: zero hunger, 12: responsible consumption and production and 13: climate action. By combating the climate effects it’s my hope, the world will attain the zero hunger, recommending and advocacy on responsible production that will catch up with the growing population of people and consumption. Taking initiatives and part towards activities that deals with climate action.

In order to contribute to the response to these challenges, Rayhanatou is involved in community life within the NGO Carbone Guinée. In training, in Master of environmental science, She leads awareness and advocacy sessions for the inclusion of gender on climate change issues both at national and local level. She is involved in several community development projects, including the “Community Engagement for the Protection of the Tristao Islands” project. It educates women in their role of protecting the environment through reforestation, income-generating activities that protect the environment and taking gender into account in local development plans.	Rayhanatou is passionate about the environment, which motivates her daily fight through the transfer of knowledge and field activities. Marine protected areas are threatened in Guinea, especially at the coastal level, by the anthropogenic actions of communities and industrialists. As a climate change and gender facilitator, it provides solutions to stakeholders. haunts to participate in this African climate mobility initiative alongside other young people around the world as it will be a platform for me to share my experiences, learn various innovative solutions, network with climate change advocates and propose solutions on the way forward to mitigate climate change when I return to Guinea, I can implement it with other young people. I would like to be among the delegates to support the implementation of the NDC on issues of adaptation or mitigation for the benefit of the world.

1397	Emma	Wachira	Mixed Migration Centre- Danish Refugee Council	https://mixedmigration.org/	I am a young Kenyan with a keen interest on inclusion and opportunities for all. I have a bachelor’s degree in economics and sociology. I have an interest in the development and impact space and will make use of any opportunities I get to make a positive impact on the society.	Coming from a country that is currently experiencing its fifth consecutive failed rainy season, it could not be timelier to hold the important discussions on climate mobility. The drought has affected 23 out of the 47 counties in Kenya and the affected populations are now weighing their options, some having been internally displaced and some for one reason or the other facing immobility in their homes. Crossing international borders is not an option for many since the neighboring Ethiopia and Somalia are also experiencing the same or worse levels of drought. Having worked in the migration field for 5 years now, I understand that most of the migration drivers link to climate related causes especially in Africa where 65% of its population relies on subsistence farming. Africa also has the highest number of pastoralist communities whose movement patterns are hugely affected by climatic shocks such as drought and floods. After completing my undergraduate, I did an initiative with the Sustainable Agriculture for Community Development (an agricultural NGO), to develop a training package for the youth on how they can benefit from environmental conservation. I was the only youth in the panel and my role was to represent the youths’ opinion on matters of climate change and environmental conservation. This experience combined with my knowledge in the migration sector gives me great interest to participate in the climate mobility discussions as an ACMI delegate at COP27. If selected, my goal is to advocate for climate action among the youth and to expose the possible opportunities the youth in Africa can benefit from.
1398	Muluh	Geraldson Teneng	Moja Global	https://moja.global/	My name is Muluh Geraldson, I have recently completed my second year at the University of Dschang, pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Science. I completed high school in 2012, where I majored in Sciences and nursed my interest in how technology can be used to mitigate and accommodate climate change. I then studied Computer Science at the University of Bamenda to embrace the constantly changing technology in the department of Computer Sciences. As a result of a growing crisis in the English-speaking region of Cameroon, I moved to West Cameroon in 2016 to further my studies, where I obtained an MSc in Computer Sciences. In 2022, I participated in “Olympiades Universitaires du Cames” which was a program aimed at fostering sustainable consumption and development. During this program, I learned a lot about green technology and how it can reduce the carbon footprint in the economy. In the meantime, I did some volunteer work to prepare students for the General Certificate of Education in Cameroon. In 2021, I took a part-time job lecturing students at the Siantou University Institute situated in Yaounde, Cameroon. Here I embraced quality leadership and management skills. In August of 2021, I joined Moja Global which is a not-for-profit, collaborative project that helps in the mitigation and adaptation of regions to climate change. At Moja Global, I am constantly applying my knowledge and skills to push ahead with research and innovation in climate mobility. I have mentored several interesting technological climate action projects in line with the goal of Moja Global to support ambitious climate action by developing pioneering, open-source software. I have good communication, social, and interpersonal skills. I love to participate in events that sponsor the growth of Africa and the world at large. I am funny and love to collaborate with people of concerned about climate change.	Application for the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum-COP27 Delegate I am writing to apply for the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum-COP27 Delegate. I am particularly drawn to the program because it provides experience in two key areas in which I am interested. To begin with, I am eager to develop my skills in climate change research. Last year I participated in FLOSS and made open source contributions at MOJA Global, which can be checked out on my GitHub profile. Moja Global is a not-for-profit, collaborative project that brings together a community of experts to develop open-source software that allows users to accurately and affordably estimate greenhouse gas emissions and removals from the AFOLU sector. The project’s members aim to support the broadest possible use of credible emissions estimation, which helps in the mitigation and adaptation to climate change. I would welcome the opportunity to participate in ACMI and learn more about strengthening the resilience of weak countries to the negative impacts of climate change. Moreover, I am interested in how technology can be used to support climate change mobility because I believe it depends on effective written and oral communication, interpersonal, and highly polished development skills. As you can see from my CV, I have a solid academic and professional background in Software Engineering and Climate Change Research. I hope to advance my experience at the ACMI Youth Forum, and any opportunity to hone my skills and knowledge on climate change would be extremely beneficial. I am also enthusiastic about the opportunity because of my long-standing interest on how climate change negatively affects the development of small and other vulnerable developing countries. Since high school in 2013, I have been very interested in the effect of climate change on Cameroon. Today, Cameroon is already facing the consequences of climate change, including an abnormal recurrence of extreme weather phenomena such as violent winds, high temperatures, and heavy rainfall, which endanger communities' ecosystems and the services they provide. The ACMI Youth Forum attracts me because it works to understand and mitigate these complicated problems by providing initial professional experience and amplifying its calls to African countries for greater climate action. I am eager to participate in the ACMI Youth Forum in the work of promoting and expanding its network, advocating the benefits of high-quality climate change action, and, most importantly, working to help maintain high-quality climate change research. The Global Centre for Climate Mobility (GCCM) is a leader in its field, and the opportunity to participate in such a respected forum would be invaluable to me. I am enthusiastic about supporting the work of the GCCM and gaining the experience that this program provides in climate change research. Thank you for taking the time to read my application. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours sincerely, Muluh Geraldson Teneng

I have honors in Wildlife Management and I am a professional (safari) guide by profession. I work independently and I am currently living in Harare. I am most passionate about nature and this has resonated from my experience as a Scout, and much later in my career. I appreciate our natural surroundings and I am a person who is deeply concerned about the loss of biodiversity not just in my county but throughout the world as a whole. I believe that we should all be responsible people who take care the environment. I work with local organizations who fight climate change. These include the Scouts Association of Zimbabwe, where I am an anbassador of the Environment program in my District. I am Chairperson of the Birdlife Zimbabwe Mashonaland Youth club, Birdlife is concerned about bird species and the environment in which they live in. I am founder member of the Spider Club of Zimbabwe, member of Tree Society of Zimbabwe, Mountain Club Zimbabwe and I am a youth advocate with the largest youth organization, World organization of Scouts Movement (WOSM). I am a member of the GYBN and Zimbabwe Youth Biodiversity Network and I am to be a member of the national steering committee. I work on wetlands advocacy with Harare wetlands trust and we're trying to lobby with officials to preserve the wetlands our city is sitting on. Most of the are part of the Ramsar sites.	As I mentioned in my biography. I am a youth representative of WOSM and I work under the Environment advocacy portfolio. As a youth advocate I am carrying the voice of 50 million Scouts around the world and representing their concerns at world level with high level organizations. But I am an African and at times it feels like there are less opportunities for young persons to participate at CoP/UNGA/UNFCCC meetings. Africa is greatly affected by climate change more but we're contributing less greenhouse emissions. I feel that as an African youth I need to represent my continent with other young people and have a voice at a world platform and share with they world what young persons in Africa are concerned about, how they can help with the climate crisis and what efforts theys are doing. I feel like I have enough experience at UN level as I through my post as a youth representative get to be involved in. We have had representatives at the previous COPs and we have contributed significantly to have the attention centered on young people. I have the skills to stand on the podium and speak. I have skills in advocacy and meeting leaders. Sò I see this as motivation to be part of ACMI delegation. I want the youth delegation to achieve the best od results and I want to help shape the outcomes.

She is an early career researcher experienced in the areas of sustainable natural resources management, DAFNE approach for management of land, water, energy, and climate nexus, agricultural water use efficiency in rainfed and irrigated schemes, remote sensing data analysis, water scarcity, integrated planning for climate change, and biodiversity, science communication skills for water cooperation and diplomacy, transboundary watershed inventory, small to large scale rainwater harvesting systems, water resource management, sustainable development goals, project planning, monitoring and evaluation, and WASH. She is currently a Ph.D. research fellow in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano university. Her research focuses on identifying the role of extreme hydrological events in human migration and understanding the possible future migration patterns in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Tanzania, and Rwanda. The research aims to identify the drivers of migration and assess the level of water scarcity in the above countries. She has a strong background in leadership, communication, organization, community mobilization, and project management from her work with pastoralist communities in Kenya, civil war refugees from South Sudan, and voluntary work with local and international organizations in Ethiopia and Kenya. She also contributed to the publication of the UN Environment's GEO-6 for Youth in Africa and the smart water management case study by the IWRA. She is an active youth advocate through participation in Water Youth Network(WYN), World Youth Parliament for Water (WYPW) and Young African water professionals (ICID Ethiopia).	Intra-African environmental migration is a bleak reality in the continent, where extreme hydroclimatic events combined with underlying non-environmental drivers force millions of people to move out of the place where they live. It is unclear to what extent human mobility is influenced by these adverse environmental changes and what evidence exists to support the hypothesis that human migration in Sub-Saharan Africa may be induced by environmental conditions. Therefore I set out to study the various slow-on set, sudden and accumulated environmental drivers that have displaced millions in Sub-Sharan Africa. Having a compiled knowledge of the past and present situation in the continent in the first step to finding solutions and strategic plan to the climate mobility problem at hand. The data scarcity in the topic can only be improved when we allow African researchers and stakeholders come together in such event. At the first ever Climate mobility pavilion I would like to share my doctoral research results from 32 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and connect with like minded experts, youth and stakeholders to address the issue together. I believe this pavilion is a great platform to unit us to propose and implement practical solutions based on scientific and practical works.

Further to the advertisement on your website, I would like to express my strong interest in applying for the opportunity to be a youth delegate through the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum - COP27. As a Field Operations Professional with training and experience in Emergency Response and climate mobility,, I collaborated with the emergency section at UNICEF to coordinate reporting on children in climate related emergency situations. I advocated for their well-being in the management of health and environmental disasters like COVID-19, drought and floods and the resulting consequences such as displacement, hence I will be able to contribute towards COP’s corporate effort to discuss strategies to maintain and improve emergency preparedness, early warning analysis, early action, and emergency response for vulnerable children and youth, ensuring alignment with wider programme policies and guidelines and objectives of the conference. Additionally, I created a standard reporting tool to monitor data on child protection units in 4 counties across Kenya. The data collected was used to provide and enhance the accountability of the project to donors and other stakeholders as well as the 15,000+ girls and boys who relied on these services. I am able to research and analyse policy and operational issues to support senior colleagues in the development of policies, programmes and activities. I have done this by participating in the development of a technical TOR for emergency missions to support the Child Protection in Emergencies Working group and providing technical support to County and Sub County Children Officers and NGO partners on information management and coordination for effective preparation and response to both slow onset and rapid onset disasters. In collaboration with Child Protection Specialists and emergency specialists, I have explored the possibilities of child protection program integration and the mainstreaming of child protection in emergencies in the Kisumu Zonal Office area of coverage. This experience will be handy when contributing to the preparation of accurate and timely reporting on programmes and activities that enable informed decision-making and consistency of information presented to stakeholders during and after the conference.. My law degree coupled with professional training provides a strong educational background suitable for this role. I have undertaken training in Basic Security in the Field, UNICEF Youth Advocates Assignment Preparation Training and Prevention of Harassment, Sexual Harassment and Abuse of Authority among others. I have been the recipient of The President’s Award Scheme and Duke of Edinburgh International Award and other numerous awards for my involvement in climate related humanitarian initiatives such as tree planting and environmental cleaning which is an added advantage for this role. More recently as a youth leader with the Global Partnership for Education, I led the drafting of the Youth Manifesto presented during the Transforming Education Summit in September 2022 to the African Union Presidents and Ministers of Education.One of the critical issues raised by young people was how climate change displaces children and youth making it impossible for them to go to school. I was also the Master of Ceremony during the Youth Led Mobilization Day.

Noella is the first female president of the Albert Einstein German Academic Refugee Initiative (DAFI) Zambia Student Club. She is a passionate Journalist.	Considering the fact that climate mobility is affecting everyone, most refugee that reside in the refugee camps in Zambia do not know how to combat climate mobility not to talk of having the capacity to live with it. As a Journalist I would like to learn more about climate mobility so that I can be able to educate refugees who are in the settlements, especially those who do not have access to the internet. However I am optimistic that the planet that is allegedly broken by climate crisis can be mended when we work together by sharing ideas as well as solutions to climate mobility.

I am aged 25 and have my originality from Wakiso District with a background that is humble but active. Having been a student Leader for all my higher education, I have constantly been active in community changing and climate vigilance and protection	My urge and zeal to regulate the ever changing temperatures and climate on a daily over the years has greatly motivated me to get on board and have a positive impact on the Climate savers. The need to actively have a green forest cover restored is also a Push factor for me to have my efforts towards joining COP27. As a delegate from Uganda I'll make sure I share Knowledge and also learn more so as to effect change back home.
1407	Lisa	Banda	Civil Society Network on Climate Change	www.cisoneccmw.org	Lisa Banda is a self-motivated and passionate climate change advocate with a background in Environment and Climate Change. She has progressive experience in environment management; stakeholder engagement; and policy research and advocacy. She holds a B.Sc. in Environmental Science from Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources. As an ardent advocate for climate change, she has been trained in Climate Governance, Diplomacy and Negotiations Leadership by Africa Group of Negotiators Experts Support. She has raised awareness of over 1000 people in communities and schools both primary and secondary on climate change adaptation and mitigation. Passionate about volunteerism, she is a volunteer for Hearts Without Borders (HWB) charity organization where she has mobilized resources and supported survivors of climate induced floods. In her advocacy work, she documents case studies from various parts of Malawi to evidence the impacts of climate change but also, the effective climate adaptation and mitigation actions to foster adoption and upscaling. Currently, she works as a Program Officer at Civil Society Network on Climate Change (CISONECC) where she provides strategic and technical support in the implementation of projects on policy research and advocacy, capacity building, Disaster Risk Management (DRM) and climate mitigation; and climate leadership through implementation of community led and community centered climate adaptation and mitigation initiatives. In May, 2022 she led in the development of a case study booklet: Enhancing Pro-Poor Access to Clean Energy Solutions which was used to lobby for improved funding towards Malawi’s Renewable Energy sector. Lisa continues to amplify voices of young people through her role as a Youth Advocate for UNICEF Malawi on climate change and mental health to impart mental wellness skills in her fellow advocates.	I see this an opportunity to stir discussion on climate mobility and strategize on how best to work together in creating a climate resilient community where young people can realize their full potential. Acknowledgment of climate induced migration is one step that my country needs to take if we are to create climate resilient communities and ecosystems that are both safe and enable socio-economic development. In 2015, thunderstorms blew away the rooftop of my grandmother’s house. When I visited her with my sister later that year, I found rehabilitation of the rooftop taking place. Me and my sister had to support in collecting sand to support the rehabilitation work. Thanks to my uncle who financed the rehabilitation, my grandmother wasn’t displaced. As a country, Malawi has been experiencing climate induced floods annually; this has left many people including children, youths, men, women and elders thousands displaced. Others have even emigrated in search of alternative sources of livelihood due to loss of hope attributed to loss of their sources of livelihood. In this I learn that having the financial capacity to build back better and recover from the impacts of climate induced disasters is only but a privilege to a few. Climate Induced Migration is a discussion that needs to be had; it has to be addressed and integrated in planning. This should start with amplifying voices of survivors to make that change. That is why I want to be an ACMI Youth Delegate at COP27 because this is a great platform to align discuss with climate change advocates and activists and create climate resilient future.

I sincerely believe that taking part of this event will help me realize my dreams of making worthwhile contributions to the commmunications about the effects of climate change in the oasis environment in North Africa, as one of the most threatened environment by climate change. Over the last century, oases ecosystems in this region showed a high vulnerability to climate variation, which has led to water scarcity, an increase in land salinity, and therefore, a decrease in agricultural production. I also had experience with volunteering at the Oasis Ferkla Association for Environment and Heritage (Tinejdad, Morocco, 01/08/2019 – 01/09/2019) As part of the #TERO project, Territoire Engagés pour la Résilience des Oasis, funded by the European Union (EU).

Warm Regards.
1412	TCHIEGDJO TAMO	ULRICH STEPHANE	Environmental Education for a Better Earth	https://www.eefabecameroon.org	Tamo Stephane is an environmental scientist, climate and gender activist, Information and Communication Technology, and Science Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics mentor who believes environmental and climate change education are the best tools to handle environmental and climate change challenges, especially in vulnerable communities. He is proactive in the mobilization of youth in the fight against climate change through climate change education. He believes addressing gender equality is adamant in solving the climate crisis. He is a graduate of the University of Buea Cameroon with a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science. He is currently the founder/CEO of a youth-led non-profit that is focused on protecting the environment through sustainability, environmental, and climate change education in schools and communities. He is also Cameroon’s volunteer country lead for the Africa climate reality project, after completing training by former US vice president Al Gore as a climate reality leader. His outstanding work in the domain of climate change education made him featured in 2 international articles (https://climatereality.africa/meet-climate-reality-leader-ulrich-stephane-tchiegdjo-tamo/, https://www.universityworldnews.com/post.php?story=20220912204316712 ), and interviewed by the state-owned radio station 5 pm news on world wetland day. He was also selected as a speaker and panelist in the just-ended Africa Climate Week organized by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, hosted by the Government of Gabon. He is passionate about tutoring, community development and mobilization, programming, coding, web development and design, and also networking.	Being the voice of vulnerable groups, especially those affected by the impacts of climate change have always been a priority. From an early age, I have possessed an instinctive curiosity about the utmost unavailability of climate information especially to young people, despite the reoccurring impacts of climate stimuli (variability, extremes, and changes), which have always fascinated me. Despite its visible impacts on development, Climate change is not practically considered a call for concern among young people. This is because of the lack of knowledge/information and emphasis on climate change education. Despite being a signatory to the Paris Agreement Africa is still lacking behind in the implementation of article 12 which talks about promoting climate education and capacity building. Due to the prevailing climate crisis, the agenda 2030 Sustainable development goals, and the impact of climate change, young people have a greater part to play in securing their future. A majority of youth are not aware of their right to a better planet. This is because of the lack of appropriate Climate change education. COP27 is important for me to show how a well-structured program on climate literacy can empower young people in schools and communities with the appropriate climate information and sustainable practices. The frequent exposure of the population to climate risks shaped my career in climate change and sustainable development. In 2017 as a final year student of the university of Buea studying environmental Science, I created Environmental Education for a Better Earth, a nonprofit that is focused on protecting the earth and its resources through sustainability, environmental, and climate change education. Through it, and my bilingual skill (English and French), I empowered thousands of young people through campaigns on sustainable development goals, climate change adaptation and mitigation. This was carried out in schools and communities via outreach, and online via social media platforms. To better structure the activities in schools, I further developed an after-school curriculum on climate change education which I am using to empower young people in schools. This was possible after a year of intensive research for environmental and climate information, which was not readily available to young people, and thanks to assistance from my network, composed of retired professors and climate activists around the world. Collaboration is a vital means of community engagement in the nonprofit industry and has contributed to my success. Through collaboration with other civil society organizations, I trained young people in schools on fruit and vegetable gardening and help 4 households and schools to install a food garden. With 4 years of experience empowering young people in schools with climate change education, I believe as an ACMI Youth Forum delegate, this COP27 is vital for me to again inform world leaders after I did so at the just ended Africa Climate Week organized by the UNFCCC and the government of Gabon, how climate change education is not having the necessary attention that it deserves especially in the African continent, is the pathway to resilient development.

1419	Daizy	Nalwamba	University of the Free State		Daizy Shoma Nalwamba was born on March 29th 1992. She is a Zambian citizen currently based in Free State, South Africa. She holds a bachelor of education in Environmental Education from the University of Zambia attained in 2015. in 2021, Daizy attained a Master of Science in Environmental Management from the University of usaka in Zambia. In the same year, she was awareded a PhD scholarship by the Higher education and human development research program under the leadership of Professor Melanie Walker. In 2022, Daizy began her PhD research titled: The Role of environmental education in fostering agents of environmental sustainability in Zambia. Since 2018 till the time of relocation to South Africa in January 2022, Daizy worked as an Environmental Lecturer at Chreso University, a private institution in Zambia. Prior to the aforementioned, she worked at various institutions such as the Mongu municipal council as environmental officer, National heritage and conservation commission as ecologist and CeLIM italian NGO as forest and climate change field officer. Daizy is involved in various sensitization projects and has featured on programs of environmental orientaion. Daizy created a YouTube channel in 2020 to senstize the public on ecofriendly ifestyles necessary to save our planet from further deterioration. Curretly, Daizy is a full time PhD research student at the University of the Free state in South Africa.	Cop27: together for implementation has come at a moment in my life when I just recently embarked on a PhD research journey focusing on the role of environmental education in fostering agents of environmental sustainability in Zambia. Through my study, I argue for the reorientation of higher education institutions to be catalytic for fostering citizens we can regard as public good professionals for climate justice; people who are not only equipped with the skills to be agents, but are willing to exercise their agency for the common good; to save our planet from further deterioration. My enthusiasm to take part in a life changing experience like Cop27 is attributed to my life story. When time came to attend university, I wanted to be a lawyer. I had just scooped second position at grade 12 (Zambia’s highest secondary school level). All my father wanted was for me to go to the University of Zambia, to get a degree. I could not get into law school due to one missing subject. I was devastated, but my father wanted me to get a degree. He told me, “everyone is talking about Climate Change, why not go for it?!” it was in January of 2011. I did not know what learning about CC or anything environmental related meant. I still went for it, during lectures, I learnt Climate change and gender, education for sustainable development and environmental law amongst other modules. I was intrigued by how passionate I became, all I wanted was to tell people “hey make sure you are reducing your ecological and carbon footprint”. I knew I had become an emancipatory environmentalist! In 2015 I graduated with merit, 2021 I specialised in a Master of science in environmental management to become a professional environmentalist. The same year, I created a YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBP0btUrDi71kgCf2XiqNCw to sensitize the public on environmental issues. I also created a Facebook page called the Uplife by Daizy meant to motivate and encourage eco-friendly lifestyles. In January 2022, I took up a PhD scholarship in which my research project as already stated explores how students and graduates can be equipped with capabilities to be agents for environmental sustainability. I want a yearn for a climate unjust planet, where no child is deprived of access to education because their road to school is flooded, or that young woman that cant unleash her full potential because she of drought inflicted hunger, I yearn for a shift in youth mindset on the fact that climate change is real and that action is the only available option. In 2 years, I will have graduated with my PhD, I will be 33 years and will be the greatest example that the voice of the youth cannot be ignored for climate justice. I will exercise my agency as a public good professional for ecological and social justice. I will not remain quiet on things that matter. “Imagine caring for our shared planet just so our children’s children can have a degree of certainty towards an uncertain future”.

1422	DONATUS	OZEMHOYA	University of Glasgow	Www.gla.ac.uk	Donatus hails from the ancient Bini Kingdom of Edo state in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Donatus was born on the 23rd of February, 1996. He attended the Federal Polytechnic Auchi, where he obtained his National Diploma in Urban and Regional Planning (Geography) studies in 2015. As part of his National Diploma studies, he interned with the Edo State Ministry of Urban and Housing Development, where the core of his duties was to support the Ministry's mandate of supervising development projects while ensuring environmental sustainability. By the year 2017, Donatus returned to school, having gained admission to the University of Abuja, Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria. Here, he enrolled for the Bachelors Degree in Political Science and International Relations. By 2019, Donatus concluded his undergraduate studies, graduating 3rd in a class of 555 students. He consequently received an academic excellence award from the Edo State Government, Abuja chapter. Following his graduation, Donatus joined the Nigeria Customs Service, C/o “National Youth Service Corps,” for the mandatory national youth service for every Nigerian graduate. Having concluded his service year at the Nigeria Customs, Donatus received a fellowship of the European Union for a Legislative Internship Programme in 2021. The project was implemented by the Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre (PLAC). Consequently, he was posted to the Nigeria Senate, where he worked with the Senate committee on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). By early 2022, Donatus won another fellowship by the European Union for a the premiere cohort of her Constituency Office Internship Programme (COIP), a project implemented by Yiaga Africa with funding from the European Union in Nigeria. The project saw him working at the/his community level with his Constituency Member/Legislator at the member’s designated Constituency Office; thus having hands-on experience on environmental conservation degradation issues, whilst concurrently supporting Constituency Outreaches on environmental issues (e.g. Donatus was charged with the logistics for the Forestry Resources and Wildlife Townhall meeting that was hosted by the lawmaker in 2022). By April 2022, Donatus was selected for another fellowship by the European Union (EACEA), under its flagship Erasmus+ project for a 24 month programme to study across three European countries – United Kingdom; Greece; Spain. Consequently, Donatus had arrived the United Kingdom on 12th September 2022, and has been enrolled with the University of Glasgow, United Kingdom, being the coordinating institution for the 2 years masters study. The program shall be affording him the opportunity to study economic development; democracy; environmental politics; etc. Career wise, Donatus envisions a future career in the international development sector with one of the foremost institutions around the world – the United Nations; the European Union etc. Alternatively, Donatus is pleased to pursue an academic career with one of the prestigious world universities.	Whilst growing up in my village as a young boy, I vividly recall the serenity I enjoyed around my neighbourhood and perhaps the whole of my village. It was somewhat similar to the kind of weather we have today in some western nations (I cannot forget so easily, the nostalgia that took over me on recently arriving the United Kingdom to commence a postgraduate study). One of the reasons, I strongly believe was responsible for those friendly environments we enjoyed in the past in sub-sahara Africa, was the abundance of vegetation and trees in our immediate environments then. However, the reverse is obviously the case today, as we (mostly Africans) are now faced with the excruciating reality of living in scorching atmospheric conditions, especially when it is day time. This, and other similar realities, had trailed our habitations on account of the various activities by humanity, which are detrimental to our world. Such activities usually include carbon (greenhouse) emissions from industrial houses; deforestation; bush burning etc. These, and others, are a host of human activities that have gradually rendered some societies inhabitable. Remarkably, this reality is now commonplace, since it cuts across regions and continents (though sometimes with a variant manifestation). Worse still, this challenge is not just negative but also a threat to human earthly existence. Given the foregoing, the severity of Climate Change (environmental degradation), and the dire need to contain its impact on human habitations is of great essence. All hands, expectedly, should be on deck, to ensuring that the necessary policies are ideated for onward implementations for the good of humanity. The COP27 presents yet another platform for world leaders and diplomats to converge in order to review the progresses, hitherto, recorded with regards to the obligations reached, and the commitments made, by countries at COP26 which held in the UK. The COP27 forum will provide another opportunity for charting new and strategic courses in view of climate realities. Therefore, my application for this role is inspired by the need to support the necessary conversations amongst climate actors, while generally encouraging the needed policies to spur a greener/safer world environment. Meanwhile, my application is also contingent upon the realisation that the voices of young people across Africa should be adequately represented in the global scheme of things. Conclusively, I am confident that my community engagements and online activities on environmental sustainability largely qualify my candidacy for this delegateship. Meanwhile, the successes I have recorded in working outside the climate sector e.g. public accountability engagements in Nigeria and abroad, also qualify and support my suitability. Unarguably, my selection and subsequent participation in this program will help me hone my public engagements skills, expand the pool of my professional networks, give Africa (African young people) the strategic representation they deserve to effectively engage the various plenaries that shall be converging for the COP27 at Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt.

Found in Chabula village, Magu district, Mwanza region in Tanzania, where by the indigenous are animal keepers and fisheries activities. This lead to deforestation in large area of land by cutting trees for cultivation and charcoal for home energy. That is why VAS become with idea of starting seedlings nursaries and distribute for free to the community farmers starting from one heka to five hekas during rain season. VAS destribute Agroforestry trees. Where by we tought local farmers forest garden technology. We start with twenty heka of one hundred thousands seedlings last year, while we plane to destribute two hundred thousands this rain season.	I as Kabeth I have been offered Trees seedlings to four primary school and more than three hundred children have benefit of this program by being given school materials after planting a one hundred trees every out planting season. This program was running for seven years to these schools children and the result was successful of awareness of climate change and benefits of trees. The trees was decided in various species like energy trees, froots trees and timber trees where by children got food and income, fire wood and after ten to twenty years he or she can harvest some of his or her trees as a source of income. Within this 2022 rain season starting from November to February VAS plan to destribute three hundred thousands Agroforestry trees to the local farmers under fund from TREES FOR THE FUTURE.

He has passion for agriculture and agribusiness value chain development and that is what fuelled him up to study the subject in higher education. In July 2018, he founded AgriBiz Home, an agroindustry that processes unchartered agricultural products thereby by adding value to them such as banana into flour and wine, cassava into garri and starch. As the company’s CEO, he hopes to scale greater heights by increasing the number of machinery, personnel and products of the company and this will be mainly possible through innovative financing and sustainable partnerships. Today, he heads AGRIBIZ Home, which is an Agribusiness company that processes agricultural products into high value and sort after food (JUICE & CAKES) andtrainings for non-food products (Ecological Paper bags & Briquettes) which earned him a Masters to study Management of Sustainable Development Goals (MSDG) at LUMSA University (Hybrid program) powered by the UN and WB. He has won several awards such as 1st Prize at the Youth Entrepreneurship Innovative Challenge organized by UNDP-Cameroon, 1st Prize at GOETHE-AYADA Lab Pitch competition, 2nd Prize at US Embassy-Cameroon pitch competition and is also Tony Elumelu Foundation Entrepreneur. He is currently the National Ambassador of an African Development Bank funded project called ENABLE Youth Cameroon representing over 500 young Cameroonians for 3 cohorts and is currently the sole Cameroon winners of the USAID YALI ALUNMI Innovative Fund in Cameroon for 2020. His solution is nutritious food and drinks that that are low in cholesterol and near natural, hence adapted to the populations healthy feeding needs. Hi recent novel project aimed at maximizing banana fruits for fruit juice while the unused banana fruits are processed into banana jam. We are proud to say that we are the very first to have these products on the Cameroon market and very soon on the West and Central African market as well. His Banana Juice branded JUICY-B is affordable and will be more affordable that the shopping mall, store, and other operators will have a novel product on their shelves that fit their market. His products are a double edged if not a triple edged solution to the problem of loss of income by farmers, environmental pollution, health hazards but also we intend to use the waste generated out of the whole process to make paper that is far cheaper than the of biodegradable paper made out of wood pulp (this is the reason why the State has not been able to eliminate the usage of nylon papers after much efforts) which cost .09$ against .045$ for our paper currently which we intend to reduce to .036$. We work on this project with international partners such as the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (IITA), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Ecolia Labs, Ministries of Agriculture & Rural Development, Youth and Civic Education of Cameroon among others.	Africa is home to about one billion people, 74% of whom are younger than 24, and 61.3% of whom are women. The African Union predicts that by 2040, Africa’s population will exceed two billion, 70.1% under the age of 25, with women accounting for 57.7%. In order to ensure a better living standard for the future of these African women and men, we have to act urgently to ensure quality education, decent work, quality health care facilities as well as food security and we Africans have to take the leadership in all these fronts. The fact is for decades Africa’s economy has been substantially fueled by primary commodity exports with the direct result of de-industrialization. The perils of depending on a commodity-driven growth path are numerous, including resource curse risks, deterioration of secular terms of trade, and poor backward and forward links to the domestic economy narrowing the potential of value addition. We are by creating an agribusiness value system through and effecting a paradigm-shift from a supply to a demand-driven market, in which the agro-business value chain, covering agriculture, industry and services, is key. There is a need to re-emphasize strategies and policies aimed at structural agricultural transformation which is our greatest natural resource, taking into account an integrated approach encompassing economic, social and environmental dimensions which will focus on food, land, water, forests security, bio-energy resources, urban, rural as well as forward-and-backward linkages between agriculture and other evolving sectors of the African economies. I am committed to contributing significantly to the realization of these dreams and I strongly believe that the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative is the best suited platform to create such a synergy for sustainable development. We leverage of untapped agricultural and environmental resources to get food and non-food products of high value in the most groundbreaking ways for our customers and the benefit of the larger community of stakeholders.

Sir, I'm writing this motivation letter as the medium of explaining my strong will to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27. I have always been a huge fanatic of noble work from the organizations. I'm here stating my strong will to join the COP27 as the delegate of the organization. I once served in the severe climate change challenges occasions. Further, in a similar manner, I have contributed to human welfare across various places of the country, also participated through my faculty of Medicine at Kafr El Sheikh university in events and many of workshops about preparation for COP27 and discussed climate change problems. I want to participate in this conference for COP27 to increase my awareness of the current humanitarian crises, So that youth friends and I can respond to these crises and actively participate in the recovery process through theoretical and practical sessions, simulations and workshops, To learn more information and gain experience in emergency situations and natural disasters and develop my knowledge and skills related to disaster management using interactive techniques and educational methods. From the most important problems in the world today is Climate change As the impacts of climate change intensify with each passing year, more and more young people and volunteers are joining the movement for positive change and as we see every year to overcome this problem there are many conferences for discuss climate change with youth and see how can they share new ideas that can really help as the power of youth and their thoughts can overcome any challenge and make positive impact, I have an experience through volunteering work with YLE and some of events that made in my country Egypt before COP27 this year that really gave me experience and ideas also when I will participate in COP27 and other climate change workshops will increase overthinking and brainstorming to make a positive impact to our world so, also I think when I participate through ACMI Youth Forum, we will share experiences with other people in the world as a team to make new solutions by leading the discussion around climate change, we will also spreading awareness and motivating others to take action. one of the other problems is Food Security that through events and charities like Resala and other foundations food programs means helping millions of people. And through my participation it is a good way to connect with my community and make an impact on the local community. We all need to do our part to make our communities healthy, safe, and beautiful. It is the perfect opportunity for me to learn how I can make a difference in others’ lives and try to give solutions and take action for the Sustainable Development Goals. At last, I'm concluding my letter as the humble request to be part of ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27. so, I believe my strong will of serving will be taken care by the noble Vision of the organization.

1429	Joyce	Rugano	EcoRich Solutions	http://www.ecorich.co.ke/	My name is Joyce Waithira Rugano, an entrepreneur and the founder of EcoRich Solutions. I am a highly spirited environmental champion with a great vision to see change in my country. Growing up in the village as a young girl, I remember the cycle of harvesting seasons we had. Farmers would plant and harvest crops, use some for food and sell the rest. This enabled them to take their children to school and to have enough food at home. Over the years the planting and harvesting seasons have drastically changed where most farmers record only one annual harvest as compared to the previous years where farmers could even have three harvests. As a result, the effect of this has been evident: increased hunger, poverty and children not able to go to school. Over the years, there has been unreliable rainfall patterns as compared to the late 90s where there was plenty of rainfall resulting to high farm yields. This has been brought about by climate change. Emission of green house gases due to human activity and deforestation has led to the gradual depletion of the ozone layer leading to global warming which has had devastating effect to humans such as : extreme drought, wild fires, floods and tropical storms. Having witnessed this change, I sympathized with the future of my country and made a decision to bring change and save our environment. After my undergraduate studies, I shifted to the city where I saw the garbage burden in dumpsites which is one of the biggest contributors to global warming. Dumpsites release harmful gases to the environment such as, Methane gas, as the biodegradable organic waste decomposes, it naturally releases methane which is a potent greenhouse gas that absorbs heat and contributes to climate change. To solve this, I developed a waste food decomposer that uses microorganisms to decompose food into organic fertilizer, I collect kitchen waste from households and using the food waste decomposer, I recycle the waste into organic fertilizer, giving households a chance to generate value from their waste and provide organic fertilizers to farmers. By collecting food waste from kitchens; (1) I reduce over 75% of total waste that otherwise ends up in landfills and water sources by 30%, this has reduced the spread of diseases such as malaria, cholera which are big epidemics in African countries especially in urban informal settlements. Once I convert the waste from the households, I distribute it to farmers in the rural areas to apply on their farms. Organic fertilizers play a very key role on African soil as it adds soil nutrients, amends the soil and helps the soil to retain its moisture resulting in a 30% yield increase for African farmers, this has pushed them towards SDG goal one of zero-hunger because more food is now available to locals.	I am a youth who is passionate on the effects of climate change to humanity which is affecting Kenya and Africa, disrupting lives and causing loss of lives, hence my motivation to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate: 1. To share on the ways we can reduce emission of toxic gases to the atmosphere by good waste management, so far I have now reduced urban waste from specific areas by 20% by collecting kitchen waste from the households, this has reduced the number of dumpsite which cause serious health risks such as cholera, Malaria causing people to migrate from their homes in order to look for cleaner environments. To solve this, we take kitchen waste from urban households and turn it to organic fertilizer, hence reducing dumpsites in cities. If this innovation can be used in every city and country in Africa, we can reduce emission of methane gas to the atmosphere by 65% 2. To share on how we can recycle waste into organic fertilizer instead of pilling it up on dumpsites, this is by turning the waste into organic fertilizer and giving to farmers. By I supplying organic fertilizers to farmers, it has reduced the massive use of synthetic fertilizer which uses high amount of nitrogen that incase it's not fully utilized by the growing plants, it can negatively impact air and downstream water quality. This excess nitrogen can contribute to increased formation of ground-level ozone, increased greenhouse gases, and thinning of the protective ozone layer high in the Earth’s atmosphere. I have seen the effects of drought in my village due to lack of rains, surviving on one meal per day or no meal because there is no farm produce, children not going to school because their parent's main source of income has been disrupted. All this could be prevented if all take part in preserving the environment.
1430	Paul	Eweola	Aquaworld	https://www.aquaworld.org.ng	Paul Eweola is a young ocean leader passionate about driving positive change to promote ocean health, conservation and sustainability. He was born and brought up in Lagos (Nigeria), one of Africa’s largest investment hubs, where he had his elementary to high school education. His days in Lagos helped build his resilience, networking capacity and communication skills; enhancing his ability to blend, converse and relate with individuals from diverse backgrounds and groups. Moving forward, he gained admission into the prestigious Federal university of technology Akure in 2015; his undergraduate studies as an ichthyologist gave him in-depth knowledge about life below water; aquatic ecosystems, biology, chemistry, physiology and most especially the challenges facing the different ecosystems, which engineered his ocean and environmental enthusiasm. His drive and enthusiasm propelled him in 2019 to establish Aquaworld- a youth-led organization focused on sustaining the aesthetic values of the aquatic environment and its resources through advocacy, event, projects, volunteerism and research. The organization is passionate about addressing ocean and plastic pollution and connecting the younger generation in Nigeria with the ocean through education. Through Aquaworld he has engaged and trained youths to become young ocean leaders in Nigeria and beyond, with some of these leaders empowered to set up hubs under the organization across 5 states in Nigeria and an international hub for foreign ocean enthusiasts. Through his coordination and supervision, the hubs and organization as a whole have implemented over 20 projects across 5 states in Nigeria engaging over 15,000 students and youths physically and virtually (physical access and engagement with over 8,000 students and youths). Eweola’s tenacity and grit to promote a healthy environment have earned him local and international leadership positions and recognition. He is a Regional Supervisor for the South-Western Region at Future Savers Sustainable Development Initiative; He has engaged over 1,000 students in tree planting and trained over 300 student-climate actors through their climate club project. At U-Recycle Initiative, he is the Operations Manager, where he has coordinated the execution of multiple projects across 6 states in Nigeria, engaging over 5,000 students and training hundreds of students and youths on project management. In 2020, he was one of the selected youth ambassadors of the Earth-Day Network, he is an alumnus of the World Ocean Day Youth advisory council, having been a member for two terms (2020-2022). In 2021, he was recognized alongside 24 young global leaders by the National Geographic Society as a Young Explorer and he was also a MOCKCOP 26 delegate from Nigeria in 2020. Eweola’s involvement in various projects has enabled him to engage thousands of individuals and earned him global recognitions. He is keen on learning and adopting relevant scientific approaches and cutting-edge models to promote his drive for sustainable, clean and safe ocean advocacy via scientific and community-oriented projects and also has a long-term aspiration of developing archetypal platforms to raise interested ocean conservationists and actors.	Having the COP27 hosted in Africa is my first motivation to attending the conference; Africa as a continent has contributed less than 10% to the climate change issues faced by the global community but we are part of those greatly affected by this crisis. Having the conference in Africa is a great opportunity to build the order of the day around addressing climate crises in Africa. In the last conference, the United Nations Secretary-General emphasized the importance of the youths and the role we can play in addressing climate crises. To this end, I’ll love to attend the Cop27 as an ACMI youth forum delegate to share my story and that of my organization on the impact of climate change on coastal and rural communities as experienced from our fieldwork in over 10 coastal communities across 5 states in Nigeria, how climate change crisis is affecting kids, teenagers, youths, women and girl child especially, as well as resulting to communal clashes between the northern and southern zone in Nigeria resulting from climate mobility in Nigeria, to build existing momentum on the urgent need for world leaders to go beyond agendas to implementing realistic solutions to curb this crisis. As a passionate change maker, I’ll love to be part of the conference as an ACMI youth delegate to join my peers which is the most affected age range (teenagers and youth) by this climate change crisis to share our stories through campaigns and involvement in main and side events, thereafter observe the negotiation process and give recommendations. As an ocean leader in Nigeria, I would love to be part of the event to network with other young environmental actors and changemakers in attendance; share ideas on how I have been extending ocean literacy to the younger generation in Nigeria and recruiting them to be part of the ocean armies, influencing youths to become ocean leaders and involving them in grassroot projects that address ocean pollution, plastic pollution and climate change issues in the country and also learn from other techniques and models of engaging youths and the government from other actors in other locations, present at the event. My experience with climate mobility has been awful, I can’t categorize myself as part of those displaced by climate change issues or migrated due to its effects on their immediate environment but I have executed fieldworks in communities where the residents are migrating to other locations due to climate change issues and also engaged migrants that have been displaced from their parent community and environment due to climate change issues. My fieldworks and that of my team members in locations aforementioned ranges from one to several weeks, providing my organization firsthand experience of how different communities and individuals are experiencing their fair share of the crisis in Nigeria; from desertification to flooding, to girl child abuse, food insecurity, ocean degradation and environmental degradation among many others.

1440	Yvant Brice	Yepmo Djomnang	YOUNGO	https://unfccc.int/topics/education-youth/youth/youngo	My name is Yvant Brice Yepmo. I am a student of International Business and Trade at African leadership university. I describe myself more as a pan-Africanist because I don't consider myself of one nationality but as an African. I come from a country where the protection of flora and fauna is not a priority. But for me, it has always been a duty. This is why I have always given myself body and soul to be able to achieve and work for the protection of the planet. Indeed, during my holidays, I always had to do voluntary work for non-profit organisations that fight for the protection of the planet. I am currently volunteering with a non-profit organisation that fights every day for the protection of the flora but mainly of the fauna in the whole of West Africa. This organisation is called WAPCA. These internships allow me to keep my fingers on the pulse and to have a real impact in the fight for the protection of our planet. Since the beginning of my work, I have contributed to the safeguarding and advancement of a species of monkey called mangabey. This species is threatened and on the verge of extinction. When I arrived at WAPCA, there were 7 individuals. But today, they are 25 individuals. And I am proud of that. I am fortunate to be part of one of the best young people organisations concerned about our beautiful planet's future. This organisation is called Y.O.U.N.G.O. Through this organisation, we have the chance to make our voices heard. Therefore we have taken many decisions during the cop 26 in 2021. We receive forms to collect our opinions and proposals to be proposed during the summits. As Y.O.U.N.G.O. continues to fight for young people to have a seat at the decision table. The Y.O.U.N.G.O. Campaign supports and strengthens this mission as we increase the number of youth from the most vulnerable continent to ensure a fair representation at the table. I am currently a communications volunteer at YOUNGO.	I am a young person aware of the planet's issues and threats. Protecting the planet has always been like a fight for me. I am a business student, and during the holidays, it is a question of internships for us. While my friends are looking for internships in accounting firms, I am looking for internships in conservation organisations. Currently, I am doing my internship at West African Primate Conservation Action. I have chosen to do this so that I can contribute to the protection of the planet. Indeed, this N.G.O. fights to protect a threatened species called mangabey. During my internship, I help this organisation raise funds to continue protecting and making this species known to everyone. My help to this organisation is unconditional as I do not get paid in return. In addition, we are working with the Forestry Commission of Ghana. The Forestry Commission of Ghana is responsible for regulating the utilization of forest and wildlife resources, the conservation and management of those resources, and the coordination of related policies. Together with them, we contribute to the fight against deforestation. In June, we planted 600 trees in the forest of Accra. This summit will allow me to develop my network first because the action is more effective when you know who to contact. In addition, this summit will allow me to develop my leadership in decision-making and elaborating my fight plan. It will be a chance for me to learn from the experiences of others and how they have overcome challenges. After the summit, I plan to bring together the young people I met at the summit who reside in Africa to create an organisation to fight climate change. The organisation will aim to increase the involvement of young people in the fight against climate change and decision-making because young people have been sidelined for a long time and this must change. This programme will be an opportunity for me to make my voice heard. Many people are not always aware of what is at stake in protecting the planet. It will be an opportunity for me to present the different aspects of the current issues and the need to act. This event will allow me to share my experiences and my point of view. Because this is an issue that concerns us all, not just a few. I could also plead for young people to have priority in the decision-making process. This concerns us more than others because the future is ours. I would like to see young people finally valued and put forward in the fight to protect the environment at the end of this summit. This programme will also allow me to learn from others. To learn from their experiences and leadership so I can have a greater impact. That's how we can have a better world.

At first, working at the National Youth Council of the Gambia responsible to coordinate all youth activities, make policies & advise the Gambia government on youth matters gives great interest on the drive common youth advocacy on climate mobility this will give me a great insight in assessing and learning the best practices that prevent risks of climate impact. Secondly, As YouthConnekt focal person of the Gambia and technical committee member of YouthConnekt Africa, we have a mission of Connecting African youth for socio-economic transformation and a vision of Empowering young people by enhancing their knowledge, experiences and skills while investing in their initiatives to harness Africa’s demographic dividend. Attending COP27 that gathers young people across the continent and also harness the opportunities associated with climate mobility in Africa, this will permit me to gather more insight about opportunities associated with climate mobility in Africa and this will hugely pay dividend to the young people of the Gambia contributing to the Global efforts of climate action. Moreover, I am also the program officer at the National Youth Council in charge of the Children National Assembly who are responsible in advocating to address issues affecting children and this is supported by UNICEF. Research has shown that children are most vulnerable group when it comes to climate impact. In the case of the Gambia, the Central River Region is called the driest region of the Gambia and young people have been fighting tirelessly with innovations to make sure they prevent climate impacts. thus, being at the COP27 will expose me to new mechanism of protecting the vulnerable groups. As part of the work, we facilitate project under climate change, organizing pitching competitions on greening. Finally, I will be at the YouthConnekt Africa Summit in Kigali and one of the tracks will I be participating is called “En route to COP27”

1446	Stephen K.	Foday	Bong Conscious Youth Movement (BOCYM)	inkedin.com/in/stephen-k-foday-3285b7161	My name is Stephen K. Foday from the Republic of Liberia. I am a senior undergraduate student reading History and International Relations as a major, and Peace and Development Studies as a minor, at Cuttington University, Bong County, Liberia. I am volunteering with the Back to Africa Heritage and Archaeology Research Project (BAHA) as a practicing archaeologist. For about three years, I have worked with the BAHA team, excavating different historical sites in Liberia, and recording findings. At the community and local organization levels, I have an excellent demonstrated work accomplishments and a clear dedication to services. I am currently working as a classroom teacher and a chairperson at Sumo Moye Memorial Institute, Gbarnga City, Liberia. While serving as a chairperson, I help to:  Conceptualize and implement visions that result in an environment that supports and advances excellence in teaching and learning.  Facilitate departmental-wide sharing of best practices in teaching and learning that result in excellent performance of students on different internships and exchange programs. • Triad- Arrange and conduct the periodic extramural examinations of students in their oral, reading, writing and analytical skills, and • Prepare monitoring and evaluation instruments for effective reporting on instructors of the department. In addition, I volunteer with the Bong Conscious Youth Movement (BOCYM) as an Administrative Manager, where I review operational reports and craft operational policies. Finally, I have volunteered in different areas; I served as a Research Assistant to the Associate Vice President For Academic Affairs, Cuttington University; Desk Editor, Cuttington University Broadcasting System (CUBS-93.7FM); Teaching Assistant, Department of English and International Relations, Cuttington University; National Coordinator, African Students For Liberty (ASFL); Assistant Examiner, West African Senior School Certificate Examinations (WASSCE); teacher of History, Geography, and Civics at the Seventh Day Adventist Elementary, Junior and Semi-Senior High School, etc. The most recent ones are: Public Relations Office at The African Dreams- Liberia (TAD-Liberia); and Country Representative- World Writers Association (WOWA).	Climate Change has posed an existential threat to the lives and safety of everyone, especially in developing countries. Climate Change has disintegrated families, destroyed lives and properties, and retarded economic growth in many instances; thus leading to the forced migration of people from one place to another. As an emerging archaeologist, I have seen the imminent dangers that currently roam around many historical sites in Liberia as a result of climate change. But, how to mitigate this existential threat and restore complete hope for our already-fragile economy has been a thought of wonder to me. Interestingly, becoming an Africa Climate Mobility Initiative Youth Forum Delegate (ACMIYD) has revived my hope for a possible solution. I believe this program will help me to address the risks and harness the opportunities associated with climate mobility in Liberia particular and Africa in general. In addition, participating in this forum will help me to create awareness in rural areas and other vulnerable urban communities in Liberia. I will also use the skills and knowledge gained from this program to create online platforms where articles on climate mitigation will be shared to help policymakers design way forward. With respect to my experience relating climate mobility, I have assisted a number of people affected by floods, torrential rains, and other devastations associated with climate change. For instance, I helped a community neighbor whose home was recently damaged first my rains, and later by winds. He stayed with me for about a week before departing for his home. Besides, I have created awareness in my community specifically on where houses should be built, and how house foundations should be laid. This, to a very high extent, has improved the ways people thought about Climate change and its impacts. As I look forward to improving my advocacy campaigns on climate mobility, it is my hope the committee sees the need to establish voluntary climate change campaigners highly affected areas of the world. This is optional- I am willing to represent ACMI in Liberia.

1450	Tandiwe	Maluma	Nil		My name is Tandiwe Maluma, born in the family of three 3 in which I hold the third position as the last born in the family of three 3. I was born with a condition known as hearing impairment "Deaf" and am the only Deaf girl in the family. I was born on the 21st June 1995 in Kabwe district of the central Province of Zambia. I started my primary school in 2001-2007 then went to high school grade 8 in 2008 to 2012. When I completed my grade 12 I did course and trained in paralegal level 3 at Young Woman Christian Association (YWCA) for two months in 2019. 2020 I enrolled at the Zambia Institute of Special Education to train as a special education teacher for individuals with hearing impaired Deaf. I am in my lost and final year to complete my Diploma in Special Education. Other than that, I also recently participated in Miss Disability Zambia contest and the results confirmed me as the winner therefore Iam the current crowned Miss Disability Zambia.iam also a board member for Zambia Youth Platform were we educate especially young girls on their Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR).not only that, I also serve to help on Tikambe Natulande TV show with matters of disability	Since I was born Deaf, my inspiration and desire is to help out Person's with disability especially those who are deaf with information, for instance even this program is not known to the deaf participation in important matters hence if a chance is given to be on board it will be appreciate.Otherwise I have noticed with sadness that many health facilities do not have sign language interpreters which on the other hand make it difficult for persons who are deaf to access Sexual and Reproductive Health Services.As a result many youths who are deaf lack information on how to prevent themselves from contracting Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) and then importance of Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT). This situation makes them more vulnerable to abuse. I believe that an inclusive society is one that embraces disability diversity. And change starts with me

1453	Luyanda	Mndzebele	Rise	htttps://www.risefortheworld.org	Luyanda Mndzebele grew up in a Swazi family and is the fourth child out of fifteen siblings.Unlike most children she has more than two names,she has four.At home she is called Gcabho which means pride.She was also christened Nosimilo and due to her bubbly and outgoing nature she has earned herself the name Smiley.Throughout her childhood Luyanda has always been the elder sibling . Family.Luyanda s maternal mom and dad divorced when she was four years old.Luyanda then stayed with relatives .While staying with relatives Luyanda realised at a tender age the difficulties orphans go through,this include physical abuse and malnutrition by relatives.This included nights of sleeping on an empty stomach or porridge and sugar.Later on her father remarried and Luyanda and her elder sister moved in with their new mother. Luyanda then started school.She never went to preschool but was immediately taken to the first grade.Luyanda did not perform well and had to repeat the first grade on the year she was supposed to be in creche.After failing ,Luyanda was sad and felt cut from the rest of the world.She learnt to overcome this setback by working diligently and she performed exceptionally well in the remainder of her primary school years.After the fourth grade she was always among the top students in her class and she graduated from Primary School with a merit pass.Her desire for learning was impeccable and she spent most of the time studying.She had a few friends and spent most of her time alone reading. Luyanda was not competely lonely, she made new friends.Being a different child as she now considers herself,she was fascinated by plants.Each year her family planted maize in the field.Luyanda was always excited by seing the first shoots.Plants had cast a spell on her ,at times when spinach was cooked at home she would replant the stems.She was curious about this new phenomina which grew from the ground and brought so much joy to her.She became aware of the trees around her home and she developed a deep affection for each green plant she came across.When she went to collect firewood she carried back home bird nests and she made grass necklaces.Later on she started her own gardening to have the chance to be part of the story of the growth of plants. Luyanda has lived in a number of places.During her early teens she moved to Hlane in the Lowveld.This was a huge transition from the highveld with red soils and tall trees.Apart from the change in vegetation she experienced a change in culture and way of life.She was used to fetching water from the river and mountain walks for firewood.In the lowveld water became very scarce.In her garden she had to use water sparingly and used organic matter to improve soil health.She began herding cows and she has been interacting with many livestock owners and the natives and sharing their experiences in husbandry and poor climate conditions. Now Luyanda is a climate activitist.She is also a Rise Global Winner who created a project on organic farming to tackle climate change.She has written letters to the editor and currently volunteers at NGOs.For this young lady this is the start of her journey to promote a greener environment.	To tell my story and the story of my people.As a Swazi girl who has lived in most of the regions in the country I know the stories of my people because they define us and shape our livelihoods.When I stayed in the Highveld ,I was accustomed to a life of constant deforestation.My community there deforestated daily to fuel coal stoves but none of us understood the implications of cutting the life of the tree short.A major part of the forest was covered by wattle and there are a few indigenous trees.Water was however abundant and we collected it from a pond.It supplies water 24/7 and it never ran out.All we had to do was carry our buckets on our heads to ferry the water.The water was also clean but after I moved into the Lowveld I experienced a different narrative. The Lowveld and Middleveld story.Life is not a whirlwind in both these places.The Lowveld is characterised by water scarcity and arid farm land.To have access to water in the Lowveld ,it is purchsed from trucks.The trucks get the water from one way rivers like iMbuluzi.The stream is vulnerable to a lot of pollution from animal waste and human waste disposals.Due to need the locals have to thrive on this unclean water.It is a sorry situation in the eyes of a traveler but the community has adapted.To get cleaner water we have to dig the sandy soil next to the bank.After digging allow the sand particles to settle then collect the clean water.This is one of the many stories of my people I want to tell.Also how the same people have managed to start gardens in their homes using little water.How the same people smile despite being impoverished and living from hand to mouth. Secondly ,to pursue my love for plants.Over the years I have realised I am more than a caregiver to the plants in my garden I am their mother.I love them the same way a mother loves her children unconditionally.A mother does not sit back and fold her arms when her children need help.Likewise my interests in climate mobility emanate from that I do not expect plants to be the only ones responsible for decarbonizing the planet.Plants have much more value than being our victims.We cut plants as we wish and destroy hope.That is not right and I want that through my efforts I can help make the world a little less carbon free.Even if needed Dr Joanne Chory s idea to maximize the amount of carbon dioxide plants absorb may come true.Also to promote organic farming to improve soil health.Healthier soil traps more carbon.As a delegate I want to advocate for better soil health and care for plants to tackle global warming. To receive insights.A single story,my story alone is incomplete therefore I need to learn and share my own ideas.As a young leader,I recently turned 19,I believe in the power of sharing ideas.The power of community and nothing would excite me more than to be in a room with other people who have different lived experiences of climate change.People who will listen to me talk about my own experiences and relate.People who share the same passion to see a greener environment. Last but not least ,to learn.I have always been very good at math at school ,I hope maintain this even at IB level.My experiences in math have taught me how important it is to learn and understand clearly.Real and urgent world problems like climate change can not be solved on the basis of assumptions likewise algebraic equations need thorough understanding.I want to learn and return to teach my people.My biggest triump will be to try.

In low resource markets like Nigeria, this waste strangulates the income and sustainability of fish retailers which is a women led sector. The banks do not offer loans for asset acquisition to these women; hence they adopt the use old freezers whose refrigerants contribute to ozone layer depletion and its usually powered by petrol generators which contributes to greenhouse gases, toxic respiratory conditions and mitigates business profit. Eja-Ice offers solar powered freezers with natural refrigerants to fish retailers through affordable lease to own schemes. Through this we mitigate fish waste, we protect the environment through the choice of our refrigerant and the health of our customers. The profit of from their business is sustained for growth. Now, we would like to scale to benefit other fish retailers across the country.

He is also a member of the Emerging Water Leaders Organising Committee at the International Water Association, where he worked as a Publicity/External Communicator due to his keen interest in water resources among other environmental media and working to promote youth engagement at the upcoming IWA conference in Copenhagen. He is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Business Administration with Data Analytics at the University of Bedfordshire, UK, after completing a MSc degree in Water and Environmental Management at the University of Hertfordshire, UK 2020, where he carried out an independent research approved by the University on "Investigating the Extent of Urban and Surface Run-off Pollution in the River Lea, UK". The final report showed a decline in the fauna and flora ecosystem along the river and a recommendation was passed to the Environment Agency for an Environmental Impact Assessment. He also works at Care About Climate Organisation as a member of the board, where he works at both grassroot and service level to deliver on key environmental projects using his project management and data analytics experience. All of these stem from my keen interest in water resources, environmental management and climate action.	Environmental problems like global warming, acid rain, air pollution, urban sprawl, waste disposal, ozone layer depletion, water pollution, climate change and many more affect every human, animal, and nation on this planet. What interests me most are issues relating to Climate change, water pollution and sanitation. Working as an environmental advocate in the past four years has made me realize how urgent sustainable actions have to be carried out to protect and preserve our communities. Our climate keeps depreciating thereby putting us in great danger. Globally, the cumulative number of climate change related cases has more than doubled since 2015 and knowing that the world expands in leaps and bounds every time, a young adult must have the desire to take up new challenges such as exposing the mind to new realities. I believe there is no privilege more exciting than being able to discover new platforms, gain and share experiences that are entirely different from one’s own. These things and many more are my motivations for wanting to provide sustainable solutions to this problem. Currently, a more deliberate effort is required by stakeholders and policy makers across board to bring to actualization the 17 Sustainable Development Goal by 2030. As a young professional with keen interest in environment systems and SDGs 6,7,13 which includes Clean Water and Sanitation, Affordable and Clean Energy, and Climate Action respectively, I look forward to providing and gaining important ideas necessary to tackle this adverse effect of climate change.

The services developed range from solar electrification to the production of ecological coal, including the production of biogas and the design of household equipment/kits powered by solar energy. Its action fully contributes to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Indeed, the equipment/services it offers are eco-responsible. She also accompanies women and young people in the process of training for green and sustainable jobs; in order to involve them in the process of preserving the environment and make them aware of good practices in the fight against climate change. Winner of several prizes, including (climate initiative, EDF pulse Africa prize 'coup de pouce', UNDP climate change champions), she benefited from support from UNDP Cameroon through the Rapid financing facilities RFF program. peers remains that of hard work.As a young person, she wants to involve all actors and stakeholders in adapting to climate change and this requires education, training, information, competence, passion , productivity You have to dare, test, innovate and adapt.	The insecurity situation is disastrous in the far north due to violent rebel attacks. My community faces several difficulties: the lack of infrastructure, the difficult problem of access to water, epidemics, famine, under-schooling and the region's distance from the center of administrative decision-making. This situation places many people in a vulnerable position, including young girls and women. Climatic hazards have further weakened the local social and economic fabric. A structural and economic fragility that increases the vulnerability of my community, which is already prey to several calvaries. 90% of women work in the informal sector and are not resilient to the effects of climate change. By allowing me to be part of the ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27, I will be able to raise the profile of the issue, create and expand the network of experts on the issue of climate change, mobilize the groups for inclusive and participatory action. Our activities consisted of the collection and sorting of waste in the municipalities concerned, which support us in the initiative, such as the participatory consultations for the identification of the area for the implementation of eco-responsible works. We are also approaching university areas for training workshops supported by the center for the advancement of women and girls. - 3 green charcoal production workshops have been set up. - 3 workshops for building biodigesters and producing biogas. At the same time, training and awareness sessions on environmental education are organized: 19 sessions reached 3,400 people over the 2019-2022 period. With regard to solar photovoltaic energy, solar photovoltaic systems have been installed in several 10 localities (villages) in Cameroon for lighting, 10 solar water pumping systems have been installed. 50 young people were trained in the sizing, installation and maintenance of photovoltaic systems.

1462	Victor	Obilaegwu	Glorious Teens Ministry	http://gteensministry.org/	My name is Obilaegwu Victor Egwu, I am a final year Paramedical student of Human Anatomy in College of Health Sciences, Makurdi Benue State Nigeria and I am 24 years old. I am a Graphic Designer, Tech Expert, Business Owner and a Development Worker. I am a volunteer at Glorious Teens Ministry, which is a Non-Governmental Organization out for developing and empowering young people having Health, Education, Skill Acquisition/Empowerment as her thematic areas. I have worked in this organization for over 5 years now. I am passionate about the SDGs especially Climate Action, which made me one of the Virtual Certified Participants of Global Center on Adaptation Panel discussion on the topic “Youth Dialogue on Adaptation Action: Delivering on the Glasgow Climate Pact” on the 3rd and 4th of September, 2022 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. My crave to combat Climate change also made me a participant of the HEY Climate Fund and UNDP WACA Youth Innovation Challenge under Climate Change. This has made me an Advocate of Climate Action in my community. The desire to see Africa and the World at large delivered from the disasters on Climate change has been my motivation. I have had the opportunity to stand before the Yiaga Africa Team to defend my project of Community mobilization for Democracy sponsored by UNDP and also defended my idea before the YVote Naija Hackathon as a finalist. I have also represented my organizations in decision making panel discussion for promoting community development.	I am motivated to be an ACMI Youth Forum Delegate for COP27 because of the decaying state of our Climate. I am currently based in the Western part of Africa precisely Nigeria Benue state and for some days now, part of the neighbourhood of the state have been displaced by a sudden flood which keeps increasing by the day, this is one of the Hydrological Climate-related disaster. I am burdened with the fact that many have been left homeless by this impromptu flood attack caused largely by Climate Change. In Nigeria and Africa at large, automobiles which are major emitters of greenhouse gases which causes Global warming are in excessive use, which has a consequent effect on our weather pattern. Being an ACMI Youth Forum Delegate for COP27 will to a large extent build in me a formidable know-how on how to curb the climate change and its effect via the discussion sessions and mentorship. I strongly believe this will mark the beginning of the change Africa desires for a fair weather. This forum will equip me with the requisite knowledge to better advocate for Climate change in my community and as well within my capacity organize sensitization outreaches to promote a fair weather in Nigeria and Africa. Also considering the fact that I been involved in panelists discussion on Climate change and have also engaged is challenges that seeks to promote Climate Action, I will be most delighted to represent Africa and magnify the crying voices of Africans to the disasters of climate change at the COP27 through the ACMI Youth Forum, with the sole desire of learning and impacting my community.

1465	JUMOKE	ODEDIJI	CENTRE FOR 21ST CENTURY ISSUES		My name is Odediji Jumoke Victoria. I’m a Nigerian by Nationality. I’m a gender and Climate Justice advocate with deep-rooted passion for understanding and discovering innovative and multidisciplinary approaches that can be used to solve the many challenges faced by rural communities and the sustainable management of the natural resources in Nigeria. I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile- Ife, Osun State, Nigeria and a Master’s Degree in Developmental Psychology from University of Ibadan, Oyo State. Over the years, I have actively committed myself to the field of climate change as an enthusiast and feminist and I am very much particular about how climate change affects the environment. In 2021, I participated at the Summer School on Climate Justice in Kenyatta University, Nairobi, Kenya. The findings and field experiences at the summer school further motivated me to acquire an advanced knowledge in this field to meaningfully contribute to the sustainable development of the rural areas as well as the sustainable management of the environment in Nigeria. I participated at the 4th African Youth SDGs Summit that was held at the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia under the theme “Youth Resilience in the Covid-19 era; Pathways to accelerate actions to achieve the SDGs”. The Summit afforded me the opportunity to interface in the discussions on multi-stakeholder engagement among the youth and also to draw commitments and high-level support from different stakeholders including the UN Member States, civil society and the private sector towards active youth participation in the implementation, review and accountability of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the African Union Agenda 2063. I am currently working with Centre for 21st Century Issues (C21st), a reputable civil society organization responding to the challenges of the 21st century through addressing inequality and working for a socially inclusive society. C21st focuses on promoting the voices of the poor, the underserved and other socially disadvantaged groups into policy processes and implementing interventions that seek to promote social justice and eliminate inequality. I participated at the launch of the women-led-climate solutions initiative across Nigeria which took place during COP26 and the launch of the #women4climatefinance campaign which is a campaign for women’s access to climate finance and inclusion in climate policies and decisions. I engage the Community of Practice Platform which is a platform on Climate Finance and Green Climate Fund (GCF) that consists of women and gender focused organizations spread across the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria. The platform is to further engage with Climate Finance and the GCF processes in Nigeria.	A changing climate undeniably affects everyone. However, the most impacted are the world's poorest and those in vulnerable situations; especially women and children including girls who bear the brunt of environmental, economic and social shocks imposed by the adverse impacts of climate change. For example, women and children in Nigeria have been displaced by weather-related disasters especially flood in several parts of the country, and this has caused and formed a greater percentage of migration/mobility to other areas. Women offer valuable insights, experiences and solutions relevant for effective management of climate change related risks and challenges. The knowledge about climate finance is important for women who are most impacted by climate change and there is need to build the knowledge and capacity of women about climate finance as this would help enable women demand equity and inclusion in the allocation and utilization of resources earmarked for climate change mitigation and adaptation at local, regional and global levels. My organization, Centre for 21st Century Issues (C21st) has an observer status with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Green Climate Fund (GCF), and is also a member of the Global GCF CSO Observer Group. The organization has ample knowledge and experience engaging climate finance and building the capacity of local women to understand and engage the Climate Finance and the Green Climate Fund. C21st also coordinates the GCF Gender Monitors for Anglophone Africa through which the capacities of African Women are enhanced towards engagement of Climate Finance and the Green Climate Fund. At COP26 in Glasgow, my organization (C21st) launched the women-led-climate solutions initiative across Nigeria which is a campaign on women’s access to climate funds and their inclusion in climate policies, deliberations, and decision-making processes as women are the most vulnerable people facing the risks, shocks, and climate crisis in the society. During COP27 and post COP27, I will ensure to amplify women’s voices through conscious engagement and participation in the ongoing campaign of #women4climatefinance which was launched in COP26, Position African women’s rights globally, support intersectional feminist movements and strengthen intersectional feminist knowledge-production an uptake. As the program officer of C21st and the officer in charge of the Community of Practice Platform which is a platform on Climate Finance and Green Climate Fund (GCF) that consists of women and gender focused organizations spread across the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria, I will mobilize women’s participation by organizing capacity building for African women in accessing resources earmarked for climate change, Continue the advocacy on ensuring inclusion of local women in deliberations on climate finance and policy implementation of projects and programs to facilitate development and improvement in climate change mitigation and adaptation, Collaborate across women platforms towards fostering engagement with funding institutions and for improved access to climate funds at local and international levels. These will help in ensuring that local women across Africa have access to climate finance and inclusion in climate policy and decision-making processes at national and international level.

1473	Omar	NDIAYE	AALAM		I answer in the name of Omar NDIAYE. I am a young Senegalese student, holder of a master's degree in Geography in the Resources Environment Development course with a specialty in hydrology. Beyond the trainee position that I currently occupy at the Ministry of Water and Sanitation in the Hydrological Department, I had to work in other structures. I worked at the NGO énabel as an investigative agent, the SABDARIFA Institute as an agent in charge of marketing and communication and at the Télé-Ecole where I have until now exercised the role of journalist/Presenter. A professional career that testifies to the nature of my versatility, which is nourished by my curiosity and my thirst for knowledge.I consider myself an environmental activist. This consideration does not remain within the framework of an abstract idea insofar as I seek, on a daily basis, to affirm myself as such. Through environmental, educational and social organizations, I am active on behalf of the environment as well as on behalf of the populations. Being a person of sociable nature and very attached to the family, I am always quick to help a margin of the population often forgotten in certain processes of discussion and decision-making concerning their living environment.My slogan: Always at the service of education and integration.	Very early on, I thought about my school and university career with the aim of becoming a researcher in the field of the environment. I have invested in this path and currently I hold a master's degree in Geography. My constant challenge is to be able to contribute to the development process of my country. I started in an environmental association whose main goal is to support the population in environmental education in order to create future generations of eco-citizens.My motivation to be a delegate of the ACMI youth forum for COP27 is dictated by my desire to strengthen my capacities and my training on the climate policies of nations. I would like to be a delegate to be able to ensure a representativeness of Senegalese youth at this meeting in order to be able to perpetuate the achievements of this youth in the field of environmental protection. As a young climate leader, my participation in COP27 will allow me to better understanding the challenges of climate change and to better transmit the scientific discourse to young people to better enlist them in this fight.I recently participated in the international climate forum in Défalé, Togo. During this forum, we discussed and made recommendations for COP27. I also participated in the preparatory meeting for the 9th World Water Forum and I also took part in the forum as a youth center facilitator.

I am not married and do not have children at the moment. There are four children in my family, I am the second child. My mother’s name is Klustey Enyonam. She is a teacher . My father’s name is Mathias Ayawli. He is an Auto Mechanic engineer. My elder sister Debestar is a Shop assistant. She is 28.She is not married and has a 9 month old daughter.My elder brother Kennedy is a Teacher by profession. He is 30. He is married and has 2month old son. My junior brother Collins is a Driver. He is 23. He is not married. I took both primary, elementary, and secondary education in kindergarten and the International School in Accra. I had a difficult childhood because my parents were always working and my sister and I had to help take care of my other siblings. Weekends were the happiest moments in my life. My parents organized family picnics, and we played in the bouncy castle and ate barbecue. I studied in the International School. It was great to meet people from various countries and representatives of different cultures. I liked to do assignments in small groups with them. We read examples of classical literature, liked to describe things we had seen and events we had participated in. I also liked to spend my holidays with my late Aunt who was a Sargent at the Ghana Military. I am creative. My hobbies are Singing, Volleyball and Dancing. I am also fond of Cooking. I dream of becoming a CEO and a Music Minister of the Word in Songs.I want to have firms that will reduce the life challenges for children and youth. They will learn how to handle duties and cope with difficulties day by day. I always wanted to meet new faces, enjoy diversity, and see new places. My parents were not rich enough to afford traveling, but I managed to acquire a profession of a journalist at Em- zed Multi Media College University in Tema/Ashiaman. This profession echoes with writing,Marketing and presentation. But things didn’t go well as planned so then I got a part-time job to save some money and manage to enroll another profession in Bachelor of Art. I hope to get a good job in Accra or outside Ghana.	I am Eric Ayawuli, a young student of "University of Ghana" who upon seeing the impact climate crisis has brought upon many, has made It one of my top priorities take the world to a better place in any way I possibly can. Our climate is changing. Temperatures are rising and devastating extremes of weather are becoming ever more common. The world has proved slow to respond, with mitigation plans falling far short of what is needed to preserve the planet. In the words of United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres: “The state of the planet is broken” We are all affected. No matter who you are, or where you live, climate change will impact upon your life. But those with the greatest vulnerabilities are likely to bear the greatest burden The climate crisis has sparked a crisis of mobility: Around the world, in 2019 alone, some 23.9 million people were involuntarily displaced by weather-related disasters. And with little to no supervision I believe I can help quench the crisis of mobility that climate has sparked and in doing so add to make the world a better place. it will be great motivation and honor to become an ACMI youth forum delegate for COP27.

I am multilingual with the ability to speak 4 languages (English, French, Swahili, Kikuyu). I work in one of the biggest telecommunications company in Africa-Safaricom PLC. I am very passionate about environmental and sustainability issues and having an opportunity to attend COP 27 would be a dream come true. I have had opportunities to volunteer and intern with local and global organizations in Kenya and Mauritius to sensitize and educate the public on the global environmental issues we face today and engage them on how they can be drivers of change. These organizations include, Wildlife Direct, CYNESA and AIESEC. I am always open and very willing to be involved in forums and projects that will build my capacity and skills as an environmental and climate warrior to help me engage with the communities better.	I was very excited for an opportunity to be an ACMI Youth delegate at COP27 because it will build my capacity as a climate warrior. The COP27 presents an opportunity for me and Kenyan youths to engage with other youths and leaders from all over the world and address the climate change issue and other environmental issues of our time. I have always wanted to attend a COP meeting and it would be a dream come true. The lessons drawn from the meeting will be shared with my community and fellow youths and tailor made to tackle our environmental issues.

My hobbies include singing, photography and public speaking. It's not been too long that I have been working as a climate activist in my community and I got to learn so many things about climate change and the impacts of our daily habits to the environment. Besides, I love reading novels in my free time. I am actually a logophile and I love playing with words. Khaled Hosseini is my favorite international novelist. I am also a greatest nature lover. Since my studies also focuses on natural resources I have so much devotion towards nature. I love making poems sometimes though not very perfect at it. But I do listen Button Poetry and I love Sarah Kay. I love to travel places and explore new things. I have travelled many parts of my country but unfortunately have not got a chance to visit to different nation but I hope I will one day..	It's been like 2 months since I have been working as a climate activist in my community and I got to learn so many things already. It's seemed to me that more than half of the population are still unaware about the global climate change and I feel that the active population of my age are fully responsible for creating an impact so as to mitigate any future challenges. I am so much enthusiastic to learn about the condition of climate change on other countries, what measures they have taken to reduce its impacts and what measures are best suitable for my country to gain the notion of climate sustainability.

1484	Sandra	Kachitsa phiri	Theirworld	https://theirworld.org	To shortly introduce myself, my name is Sandra kachitsa phiri, I am a global youth ambassador for Theirworld and a Generation connect youth envoy for international telecommunications union. Am Passionate about community service, creativity, innovation and developments. I have participated and attended different events that promote youth participation in decision making ,am currently enrolled as a third year student at Malawi College of Accountancy pursuing bachelor of applied accounting auditing and information systems ,in addition to this am also enrolled in an online course training for climate change negotiations for young African negotiators offered by United Nations through Africa institute for economic development and planning. This year I volunteered for Leap Africa and Global landscapes forum(GLF); I volunteered as rappotuer during the GLF summit which took place online, I volunteered during the sension for climate change in which I had the privilege to learn more from different people in regards to climate change.	Being a youth delegate, will give me an opportunity to network with different interesting people ,not only decision makers, but also my fellow youth who are interested in promoting climate change Adaption and action plan ,in addition to this by being a youth delegate it will help gain first hands on experience which will help set or reposition the direction of my carrier ,and at the same time I will be able to share some of the intervention which I have designed for my country to the whole world. Growing up I have always been interested in working towards some of the social issues in my country ,besides poverty ,my country is also one of the country's which are affected by climate change especially during rainy season, mostly in the southern Region . We experience floods, and in the process we have lost our loved ones ,infrastructure and cattle setting us back to the same level where we were in terms of development. and I made decision to start advocating for change, I took the initiative to raise awareness in my village about the causes of climate change and also shared on how we can help reduce the impact of climate change, I believe that if the climate change adaptation plan is to work, we need to communicate with the people in the villages so that they should also take part and in the process help build resilience. As part of the awareness campaign, people have been taught on how they can separate waste and also make manure out of it ,and most people got interested because purchasing fertilizer is expensive in our country and in the process we helped to prevent poor waste disposal. In addition to this there had been an introduction to the use of charcoal burner which used less charcoal locally known as chitetezo mbaula,as a low economic country ,most people can not afford to purchase gas cooker as such ,chitetezo mbaula was the alternative solution. This year I participated virtually in the youth dialogue on adaptation action:delivering on the glasgow climate pact where I got to learn what people are doing in other countries ,in relation to building climate change awareness and adaptation plan ,in addition to this I also volunteered as a rappotuer for Global landscape forum summit, during the sension for climate ,when I was a warded a certificate of appreciation and iam currently enrolled in an online course training for climate change negotiations for young African negotiators.

1488	MARY	SAKYI			I am Mary Sakyi, a level 300 student in reading geography education at the University of Education, Winneba, Central Area, Ghana. I am from Kasoa, in that country's central region. I am a self-driven, diligent, and vivacious individual prepared to devote myself to working cooperatively with or without direction. As a geography student who cares about the environment, I discovered that there is a connection between the environment and people that cause us to depend on, adapt to, and change the environment. Being a delegate to the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) and offering my assistance in realizing ACMI's lofty goals is an honor.	In order for others to benefit from the knowledge acquired through training, it is my dream to bring about a change in the social environment. By safeguarding our coastal wetlands and highlighting the advantages of sustainable agroforestry, we can act as an agent of nature and prevent climate change while also assisting in the adaptation to its effects. For instance, as part of the Green Ghana Day celebration in May 2021, I offered to plant trees close to Mankodzie hill. I understood that Africa is endowed with numerous resources; therefore, there is a need for education. In order to ensure that their land rights are upheld, I would like to include indigenous people in talks regarding land use.
1489	Brandon	Oriri	Komaza Forestry Ltd	https://komaza.com/	Brandon is a 26 year old male,Kenyan by birth and currently residing in a town called Naivasha. He is a Business Information Technology degree holder with 3 years of experience in different fields. He is currently a Data Operations Assistant at Komaza Forestry Ltd,serving the Central Kenya Region in analysing field data so as to create insights for Komaza to help achieve it's objective of Environmental Conservation and Community empowerment. When Brandon is not swimming in data,he enjoys watching national geographic documentaries,participating in community service and Writing songs. He has a passion for service and this he was able to greatly experience while serving Orphans and vulnerable children under the USAID Nuru Ya Mtoto project. Brandon has a soft spot for the Environment ,especially due to the fact that he has seen the adverse effects of not conserving it, His home town, Mbita,in Homa Bay County is experiencing the side effects of deforestation; dwellers depend on charcoal to make ends meet, a necessity that has caused rivers that once swelled with fresh water to dry up. He hopes that some day he can contribute to the revamping of his immediate environment.	When i came across the ACMI Youth Forum for COP27,i said to myself "perfect timing", this is because i have for the past 3 months, since joining Komaza Forestry Ltd,had a first hand experience at a number of issues: 1. The effects of Environmental Degradation on every single dimension of life 2. The impact of Environmental Conservation in any level, and its ability to shift our situation for the better both now and for coming generations Komaza's model focuses on afforestation while empowering the immediate communities both financially and socially which helps to achieve a number of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals such as Affordable and clean energy, climate action and no poverty. I was motivated to apply to become an ACMI delegate so as share my insights on how others can adopt this model as well and explain in detail how it can be made possible. Moreover, I was motivated by the situation back at home,25% of Kenyans suffer the risk of Hunger each year. The Government has to provide relief food, more so to the Kenyans dwelling in arid and semi arid areas, so as to try and sustain them, but what is the source of this relief food? Most of it is imported due to the food production deficit within our borders which is greatly fueled by environmental degradation. If our environmental trends proceed as they are now, we will be staring at a serious food crisis and hunger pandemic that will cost us greatly. The solution? 1. sensitize the communities to conserve the environment, more so the trees; by planting and conserving trees, we reduce the carbon levels in the atmosphere, thereby reducing global warming and creating suitable conditions for Agriculture both for local consumption and for exports. 2. Work with smallholder farmers when planting and nursing these trees so as to improve their economic capabilities and secure the coming generations, by doing this we will continue to emphasize the massive impact that environmental conservation can have in the community 3. Create Legislations, through parliament, that will ensure that we as a community and as a Continent at large,remain very committed and protective of our Environment at all times. 4. Educate the society on the effects and causes of climate change; introduce it in our school curriculums at the very early stages of education so that we are intellectually prepared to deal with such situations should they occur. I do pray that my application be considered so that i can have a chance to share and learn as well for the betterment of my Country Kenya and of our great Continent Africa. Thank you
1490	Martin	Javan	Pioneer International University		Martin Javan is a 20 year old University student from Kenya taking a bachelor's degree in International Relations. This sounds basic. However, my interests are what set me apart from many my age. When I was 16 I got a chance to travel to Germany due to my proficiency in the German language. I got to experience a completely different culture which inspired me to be involved in global matters. Since then, I have participated in local and international forums discussing global matters. I have been a delegate in IMUN 59.0 and an ambassador for the next one. I joined The Duke of Edinburgh Award where I reached Gold Level.I'm also a member and executive official of my university debate team and have participated in numerous debate tournaments and have gotten street cred and medals to back it up. I am a confident, well spoken and disciplined youth. I have experience in public speaking and have excelled at it. There is nobody more fit for this position than me.	The early 19th Century presented the first real threat to climate change. However, it took a while century to go past so we can come together as states to address climate change. First UN Climate Change Conference was in 1995, a time when the adverse of climate change had already been felt and many already having lost their lives. As a Kenyan, I know the effects of climate change on third world countries. As much as our delegates may present those issues from a state point of view, the Youth are the future of our country and we therefore must be part of the solution. We must be active in the efforts to reduce climate change. For all the SDGs to even become a possibility, we must starts with no 13, climate action. One might argue I'm just looking for something to add to my CV since I am an international relations student. But truth is, CVs don't matter if you cannot impact significant change in wherever you were. And that is my main agenda. To impact change through positive climate change from the grassroots. To become a pioneer of impactful climate organisations in my country to ensure the survival of our planet. Organisations that endeavour to bring long term impact through a combination of short term and long term goals. And the ACMI Youth Forum provides me the best opportunity to do this. To become a climate activist for my country and my continent. To represent both on a global stage and cement a place for African Youth.

My main motivation I want to learn more about climate mobility initiative so that when I gained that knowledge I will also educate and train village headmen across the chiefdom.
1492	Chiziterem	Onyenekwe	University Of Kentucky		I am officially named Chiziterem Precious Onyenekwe. However, I like to introduce myself as simply Chizi or WilPower. I am currently a Ph.D. student undertaking research in Nanomedicine and Immunoengineering at the department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Kentucky, USA. Born and bred in the oil-rich, yet deprived region of Delta state, Nigeria, I have experienced what it means to struggle amid plenty. To that end, I have leveraged my curiosity, intellect, enthusiasm, and determination to explore opportunities for learning and impact. This has led me through excellence in academic study as the best graduating student of my BSc class with first-class honors and a current Lyman T Johnson Fellow, sports; as a karate medalist at national and state level in Nigeria, entertainment; as a guitarist and singer-songwriter, design; as a human centered designer, and research. All to this path where I am learning to channel my cumulative frustration at the destruction happening to my people and community for selfish gains into Climate change advocacy and participation. I have been active in climate change advocacy through my conversations, such as on platforms like the World Forum for Democracy, and engagement in networks like the climate change impact field of the Bosch Alumni Network (BAN). Through BAN, I was sponsored to begin The Redefinition, a social media-based campaign aimed at redefining the problems of climate change into opportunities that can be harnessed for sustainable development. The Redefinition is targeted at Nigerian youth with the goal of inspiring African youth in general. I drive towards finding and seizing opportunities to rectify the injustice done to our ecosystem which includes the planet and the people in it while working towards a completely healthy form of sustainable development.	Growing up in Delta state, Nigeria, I was intimately acquainted with unbearable heat, dying vegetation, and increasingly toxic waters from the gas flaring and oil drilling at every corner. It was commonly viewed as a good thing because it brought a lot of money which ordinarily should mean a better life. However, all I saw was worsening inflation which increasingly put my needs like quality education further out of reach and decreasing quality of life. The development that was spoken of was nowhere, rather, the quality of life drastically reduced in addition to increasing insecurity as communities fought to get a measly share of whatever profit was being sucked out of the land. There was the feel, smell, and taste of oil and gas with no good thing to show for it. I was increasingly angered by the empty, rumored sounds of profit surrounded by environmental decay and the frustration mounted, especially when my hard-earned rewards from my outstanding academic performance were either owed or scrapped and to this day, there is still no sign of the pension of my mother who gave her life educating the children of the state in Physics. Honestly, sometimes I entertained the thought of joining the Niger-Delta militants because the least we deserve in exchange for a dying environment, was a fair share of the profits being made off it. I tried to numb this pain till I found expression through climate change advocacy which inspired my speech at the World Forum for Democracy. In the face of the after-effects of environmental destruction, I moved to the USA where I am currently based. Upon getting here, the amount of waste and nonchalance to the environmental effects since the consequences are barely experienced have me in a constant state of shock. This heightened my sensitivity and need to present our under-represented experiences and perspectives on every platform with my unique position as a product of communities vulnerable to climate change and a diasporan in daily contact with people largely unaware of the generationally-altering consequences of climate change. In summary, my motivation for applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 is to present the experiences, perspectives, and ideas of my family, community, and generation on the issue of climate mobility that has forced many of us to leave our homes and loved ones.

This will help me mobilize resources and build lasting collaborations to bring my solution to market faster.

Technology is essential because it has brought about massive development to various developed and developing countries, it has created a platform to invite the demonstration of innovative skills, Science and technology is an interesting theme as it is multi-disciplinary. As a Zambian who has touched most parts of my country through various opportunities I have gotten to appreciate how important human resource is to the well-being of our environment, both social and economic activities are achieved through human resource which is why it is important to develop more technical skills through research so as to manage the resources available at our disposal. My main interest in this youth forum is to have the opportunity to interact and address factors leading to climate change to our environments and how it's affecting us today hence coming up with measures that can reduce the impact of climate change, I have been privileged to volunteer to work in a water utility company and this facilitated me to identify challenging areas of water availability especially in rural areas and most remote areas, water is still a challenge therefore through this opportunity to venture on this program I believe it will be beneficial to the Zambian people in that with the knowledge and skill I will acquire will enable me disseminate and implement technical skill to various communities. I aim at not only participating in educating the adults but also to educate the young ones in Schools about the importance of sustaining our environment through measures addressed to climate change, this program has a good vision as it will encourage professionals built in interest from parts of Africa to participate actively in implementing the new acquired skills in various sectors and this will be achieved by identifying the needs per given task. Thus given an opportunity to participate in this program will enable me gain more knowledge and expertise on how to promote programs aimed at addressing climate change.

She also engages young adults to produce radio dramas on aspects of the environment and climate change.	I am driven by the fact that female voices in my community are not given enough visibility on topics of climate warming and taking the lead role. Being an ACMI Youth Forum delegate will strengthen my capacity to support my community through film production and engaging young people take action in the future they want to see. Building resilience in education entails partnerships and being a delegate at the ACMI will support create a stage for knowledge exchange in this field and building resilience. I am an experienced youth advocate in issues relating to global learning with filmmaking. Working on filmmaking now for over 7 years years with youths and engaging community in discussion in different topics linked to the environment I find these experiences apt for the summit to share. In recent months I have developed content on “eco-journalism” with the aim of supporting 50 community journalists in my organization reflect on reporting on environmental topics. This has led to productions of podcast in this direction. To leverage on different film productions on aspects of environment, am certain that the ACMI forum is a perfect platform for me to share experiences as well as learn from the repertoire of others during the forum.

Climate changes is also caused by human activities like poor farming methods,industrial activities,domestic activities like using charcoal in food cooking,military activities like atomic activities.People should be aware on the effects of using it and how to overcome the negative effects that are caused by human activities in environment as well as giving them support on keeping the climate.	When I was in A-level (advanced level)at school I was a leader in the club that we were used to call it ROOTS AND SHOOTS that was as a platform to me which gave an experience of interacting with others in order to keep environment safe. We were dealing with planting trees as well as giving education to the people surrounding the school on how to keep the environment safe and telling them the simple methods of conserving the environment as well as telling them the importance of keeping the environment safe to everyone.

Global Schools develops the tools, resources, and programs to support education systems worldwide in shaping a more resilient and sustainable world. Yemisi is a 2021 awardee of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters pursuing a Master’s Degree in African Studies specializing in International Development and Violent Conflict at the Universities of Porto, Bayreuth, and Bordeaux. This semester, her research focuses on food security and food sovereignty visions of Africa and tropical agriculture in Sustainable Development. As the project lead for content at Global Schools, she spearheaded the creation of 4 activities guides used by the 1,300 schools and over 11,600 teachers in our network to teach about climate change and biodiversity, responsible consumption, green economy, and workforce and support the development of lesson plans that fit into several contexts with at least 50% of these teachers from African countries. Yemisi has several years of experience working with local and international non-profits as a development communication professional in Nigeria with proficiency in project management, grant writing, content development, digital communications, and audio production. She has worked on various projects, including Protecting mining Community Rights – within the Institutional, Legal and Regulatory Framework for Mining Activities in Nigeria, Youth Development, Governance, and Sustainable education.

As of today, Over 125,000 people have been displaced by recent flooding across Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, and Niger within the past few months of the rainy season (details here. This is causing a significant risk to the already vulnerable agricultural system in the continent. Agriculture is an essential aspect of Africa's economy. Despite a considerable amount of arable land, it accounts for only 3% of global agricultural exports and imports about 85% of its food outside the continent. A typical African worker in agriculture generates productivity of around $500 per year, relatively the lowest compared to other food systems. Most of the risk to the agriculture systems comes largely from climate change factors and vulnerabilities drastically affecting food sovereignty and security in Africa. Way beyond that, it has a dire consequence on the economy, peace, health, and security. Despite its low contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, Africa suffers most of the impact of climate change. Knowing locally sustainable solutions and making the right policies is essential to ensure a sustainable future for us all. This is why I am interested in attending the COP27 through the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum to contribute to this critical conversation. I believe strongly in the words of Nelson Mandela, who says Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world. This is what I do at the Global schools; developing content on sustainable development Goals and the Paris agreement on climate change to help train teachers and students on climate change and encourage both green practices that sustain the environment and groom children within the secondary education system to become very responsible adults who are conscious of their environments, can adopt these practices for a long term and who can eventually understand what it takes to take local actions and contribute to climate sustainability policies in the future. For instance, after our training, Oyigoga, a headteacher for sciences at Wesley High School in Otukpo, Benue State, Nigeria, inspired his students to act. The students took the initiative on their own to develop a student-led SDGs action group. As a capstone project, they surveyed solid waste management at nearby resident households and businesses while spreading awareness about waste management. Afterward, they presented their result to the chairman of the local government and called for action. We have documented 30 such case studies for teachers to adopt (https://www.globalschoolsprogram.org/case-studies) I believe contributing to the conversation on the reality of climate change, and its direct impacts on our lives from my experience intervening in conflicts induced by climate change actions and developing content on sustainable practices will benefit the overall program. I also consider it a privilege to be in the same room and learn from stakeholders and youths from different regions in Africa and beyond to share knowledge and define a pathway for our region. I believe this will have a significant trickle-down effect on my team at the Global schools, the teachers that benefit from our content, and the students, creating a multiple multiplier effect for the program.

I certainly believe in the essence of economic development with renewable, sustainable and green sources of energy. Off and on-campus activities with such related activities are challenges I take personally take to contribute to my society. In addition to that, being part of the international community is a crucial aspect we lack here in Sudan. Big solutions require big solutions and extensive resources. 2020 was a tough year. Chaos, a pandemic and unexpected obstacles were the headlines of the infamous year. A few months back, I dedicated my energy and time toward one goal. A goal which will not only create a significant change in my life but in my family too. My goal was to earn a fully funded scholarship to pursue my studies abroad in Sudan. I could say that I have mastered every detail when it comes to landing scholarships. Tips and tricks, finding scholarships and having the perfect candidate file. Moreover, I got my acceptance letter and I could not be any happier. Up until late March, I received an email expressing the determination of the scholarship opportunity due to covid-19 and my position will be held for the upcoming year. Furthermore, depression and a taste of injustice settled in as I enrolled at a local university whilst regretting all the effort and time sacrificed upon applying to numerous scholarships. Time passed and so did the hard feelings. Nevertheless, I found myself stumbling upon helping some friends to apply for scholarships and I was quite happy when some got accepted. And here starts the story! Today we are proud to announce that OPPORTUNITIES GROUP has helped hundreds of students land opportunities to start a new page for their careers, a sustainable community empowering students to empower themselves and build their capacities in addition to being a better equipped them. Throughout my continuing journey, my focus was poured in creating impacts and inspiring others from them. Such a small ripple of an act created a contagious loop of contribution.	I want to participate in the ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 to be groomed for impactful service, to develop my skills as a next generation of leaders in climate and ethical public sector leader equipped with climate responsive leadership skills, knowledge and expertise that will enhance my climate mitigation skills. In addition to implementing sustainability to reach overall statisfaction. Human suffering caused by climate change has always given me a cause for concern. Having being raised in a chaotic environment close to a process plant. I have been deeply concerned about the continuous flaring of gases and the widen gap between the rich and the poor as a result of ineffective climate policies and underlying super structures. The sharp demarcation of the society into the house and the house not. My desire for cleaner air, climate justice and net zero emission increased my interest in participating at ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 and government failure in providing effective climate policies for the preservation of the planet and the citizenry. Currently, I am participating in Nairobi, Kenya; for YALI (Youth African Leadership Initiative) Cohort45. Being honoured to take part in the forthcoming ACMI will be a life changing experience for me and my community certainly. It will most definitely be a new experience in which a new challenge will be set for my skills. Skills I seek to develop and take to the next level within my time within the forum. Moreover, I certainly want to enhance my skills in planning and executing plans. The resilience that will be gained through the tough and tight times and is a discipline I want to master. Furthermore, I simply want to develop both of my soft and hard skill at those spectrums in particular. Enhancing the professional world and inducing it to my networking is an asset which I profoundly admire and seek. In addition to the acquaints of the language, style and leadership that I will passively acquire through my mentors and teachers. Lastly and most importantly, it's the leadership skills and characteristics for me which I will acquire through my journey and which attracts me most towards being part of the ACMI family.

My Name is Arengo Agnes, a female Ugandan aged 23 years from kalaki district, previously part of kaberamaido,Northern part of Uganda. I am a recent graduate of bachelor of commerce , accounting option of Makerere university business school Jinja. I currently work with vgk Jinja branch shop and a volunteer accounts and have also worked as an intern with Sona associates certified public accountants.am a lover . Am passionate about human rights and social justice in society. I also identify my self as a feminist and supporter of the girl child especially those robbed of their rights and opportunities.. I believe in socal and economic empowerment for all at various levels.. am passionate about economic development and prosperity and often identify myself with programs about it . Am a change believer who believes change is needed and desirable in society if we are to advance socially. Politically and economically, and by cahnge, I mean transformation regardless of the sector. Be it climate or any other sector. I also believe change isn't a days thing but rather a gradual process and highly believe it is possible and achievable. I love associating and working with and among people since it's from the people that different ideas for a better environment and society are generated. As the saying goes, two heads are better than one. I also respect people's opinions regardless of age and sex. Am a leader in different aspects and I believe in good leadership for a transformative society. And by leadership. I don't only mean positions since I believe one doesn't have to hold a position inorder to be identified as a leader, but rather do what is required of a leader. Am also a lover of reading books as it keeps me knowledgeable. I therefore spend some free time and also create time to read books which has become part of my routines.To add on that , I am part of a book club cold page 256 Uganda and that has also helped me with reading az we are entitled to read to book monthly before review it as a club. Am a nature lover and love of the environment that's why I desire to be part of the climate mobility initiative which I believe will equip me with the necessary knowledge on climate and climate change. With this initiative, I believe economic growth will be driven and the society will be desirable for all.	Having grown up in Jinja, an industrial city in jinja and seen so much pollution that is air pollution, water pollution with my two eyes, have for long desired for something to be done or a solution to the pollution since have always believed it partly affects the environment in so many ways..air pollution for instance can damage crops and trees in various ways. Ground level ozone can lead to reduction in agricultural crops and forest yields, reduced growth and survivability of tree seedlings and increased plant susceptibility to disease, pests and other environment stress. Crops plants, Forests all contribute to a better climate and environment and if they are destroyed by pollution. We are bound to face challenges as pollution is a factor and contributor to negative effects on environment. To add on that. Pollution also causes harm to the human body . It can affect lung development and this is implicated in the development respiratory diseases for instance asthma and the rest.Man and environment co exist. So I believe that if man is to be healthy, he /she putting other factors constant deserves a healthy environment too..I therefore want to be part of this initiative to bring the above factor to discussion since it's a problem that does not only exist in jina but also other parts of Uganda and the entire Africa as a continent. I believe that with a pollution free or pollution reduced environment. Mans health will be at ease and the environment and climate will be better for all. iam also a lover of divesityand would love to be part of this initiative to meet new people or rather network and get new ideas form them or learn from them .

1505	Madiha	Mahamat Alhadi			My name is madiha mahamat and iam a 19 years old Chadian girl. Fascinated by the world of knowledge and that of possibilities. Even though some may perceive it as a stiff ambition, I genuinely believe nothing is impossible . There’s no limits to what one might achieve, do, or become .you just have to believe it . Growing up in a society where women are always the last to speak, think or succeed, I understood that if I’m to rely on someone , that should be me . I work hard on my self everyday to become the best version of me that I can be and I’m more than sure that that’s the key to my success .	Quiet recently, I’ve got the chance to be a youth representative during the climate emergency campaign held in Rwanda/kigali( country of residence before taking a short vacation) and that just opened my eyes to something this huge that I was in complete oblivion of . Believe it or not ,before this campaign ,I didn’t know the seriousness of this matter . Maybe because even though I was living the consequences of climate change I just wasn’t aware of it. But soon after being chosen as the youth representative of kigali independent university ( my university) I’ve been introduced to this world of climate change and it’s effects on the world and since then I developed a passion towards it and now, wherever I could bring my talents, skills and knowledges to service , i won’t disappoint . I grew up in Chad , and there people are unaware of climate change and it’s severe consequences on them . It might look like a civilised society, but most people in my country have a quiet superstitious mentality. Instead of asking what’s causing the burning heat of the sun and the floods all suddenly, and try to maybe understand and fix it , they suffice by either saying well it’s maybe because of civil wars , GOD or it is what it is … Maybe they’re right with their reasons and maybe they’re wrong ..but one thing we know for sure is that , those won’t fix it . We see facts , observe and operate . I want to operate , I want to change , and want to sensitise . And being part of this forum will show me the ways I can do it and introduce me to people that’ll definitely be great tutors .

1507	Emmanuel	Kafe	The Sunday Mail, Zimpapers	https://www.sundaymail.co.zw	Emmanuel Kafe is an investigative and features writer with The Sunday Mail Zimbabwe and has five years' experience in the media industry. He has written extensively on social ills and vices that affect society and his stories have brought a change in communities. He is very passionate about holding those in power to account and exposing corruption and mismanagement by those in power. He holds a Diploma of Journalism and Communications Studies from the Christian College of Southern Africa and several other certificates in different fields.	I am applying to attend the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) penciled for later this year. I am a journalistic writer, who believes in using platforms accessible to me to generate and curate debate around climate change and the environment. My belief is that media has a role to play in shaping the climate change narrative. The nexus between journalism and climate change is necessitated by the fact that stories written are drawn from structural complexities that affect people’s lived experiences, particularly in those situations where climate change and environmental disturbances impact the lives of people. As a journalist, I want to see the media become a key player in the climate change debate. Journalists should be environmental advocates, putting their skills to good use. However, climate change and climate mobility are delicate subjects, which needs mastery and I believe if I get trained and attend this conference, I would be more efficient and able to effectively communicate with readers. It is my conviction that journalists should be actively involved and be strengthened in terms of capacity to report effectively on the work of COP27. It is in this regard that I am praying to be part of thisCOP27 Conference. I believe that without access to sustainable mobility, it will be much harder—if not impossible— to end poverty and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). And perhaps the most tragic reality is this: approximately 1.3 million people die each year in traffic-related incidents.
1508	Sandra	Odoom	Penielle's Mart		My name is Sandra Odoom ,born on the 6th of November 2002, to Mr and Mrs Odoom .I am the second among five children of my parents .I'm currently studying at the Accra Institute of Technology ,reading Electrical Engineering . All five children of my parents are still in school with my eldest brother ,Alex Odoom , in his final year in the university of Ghana. I am single and not married . Growing up I had always wanted to become a doctor , but somehow I was delayed a year ,that is ,I stayed home one year after I completed college. I worked as a teacher on weekdays and a shop keeper on weekends to gather enough funds for school. I also opened an online market where i import goods like dresses , heels and perfumes and sell them to students .Though I worked hard ,my money wasn't enough to put me in the medical school so I took a turn in my career to become an Engineer . Not only do I want to become an Engineer now but also ,I'm working hard on my hobbies and personal interest to become a gospel music minister , an author as well CEO of numerous companies . I am very innovative and love helping people and that's exactly what I will be doing in the years to come	I love to be part of anything that seeks to transforming lives especially the youth and in this case forced migrants .As young as I am ,I would love to impart into as many lives as I can as the world keeps changing and evolving ,helping the vulnerable being children . Research has it that ,in 2019,23.9 million people were involuntarily displaced by weather -related disasters , knowing very well that the most vulnerable I'm cases like this are children and as the second from a very uncertain family ,I know how it feels to cope and be burdened with the trouble of being cast from your home .This is my motivation to wanting to be a delegate .
1509	Emmanuel	Nyarko			I Emmanuel Nyarko grew up as the fourth and the last born child of my parent. I grew up with my mother and three siblings in Obuasi- Ghana. As a child i didn't grew up knowing my father as he wasn't part of the family at the time. Because of this, I never really knew what it meant to have a father and his made my mother and older siblings quite overprotective. I didn't learn how to relate well with other kids, because I felt accustomed to the company of adults. I remember when it's visiting time at school, other kids will have either their father or both parents visiting them-as they use to call me the mummys boy. I got to know that my was working in Cote D'Ivoire and as at that time there was war looming in the country. My mother was not sure wether he was alive or not. All these didn't prevent me from excelling in academics. My father came back to us a survival of that war and his presence has encourage me to learn very hard and achieve greater things for the family. I am in the university level 200 pursuing Environmental Engineering. I don't want my future children and family to feel my absence in quest of greener pasture as I felt the absence of my father when I was a child. I know there are greater things ahead of me until then I keep learning hard and working hard to achieve them.	There are many reasons why people would decide to take away their own life. They think it’s the easy way out, well, that is true. Out of their problems, out their miseries, out of their pain, everything. But that’s the whole point. Life was never promised to be easy. Life was never going to be a smooth drive all the way. Albert Einstein once said that if you have never failed, it just simply means you have not tried anything new. There is always a way to get through your problems. It may not be the easiest way and it may take some time, but you will rise above it. Only if you choose to look at your problems and trials from another angle. That’s I’m applying for this role as a Team leader, Lead Generation. To learn new things, to have different experience, to better my leadership skills and to have a change in my working environment.

1511	Sirine	Ben Massaoud	ALLAMNI ( Teach Me)	https://www.facebook.com/AssociationAllamni/	Syrine Ben Massaoud, a 28 years old Tunisian Activist. I am a holder of a Master’s degree in biomedical science and I’m currently working at the National Therapeutic Drug-Monitoring Center of Tunis, where I’m also perusing my PhD degree in forensic toxicology. Since 2014, I have been an active member of the civic society and I have been volunteering for several nonprofit organisations. I, actually hold the position of Country Ambassador for the ALLIANCE FOR HUMANITY international organisation that promotes global peace. Also, I have been holding the position of Secretary General and an active volunteer in the ‘ALLAMNI’ organisation since 2015. It’s a local Tunisian NGO that aims to empower children’s right to education and works to decrease regional and gender inequality of education among Tunisian children by creating an integration center and getting vulnerable and underprivileged children who left school seats back on track in their education and re-integrating them back into schools and back into society. In 2018, I was selected as a peace ambassador for an international leadership program called ‘Connecting Cultures’, endorsed by the UNESCO, to discuss the issues of peace. In January 2022, I was selected to represent my county in the World youth forum in Egypt, and in May 2022, I was selected for batch 3 of the Nasser Youth Movement leadership program under the supervision of his Excellency Abdel Fattah al-Sissi.	First of all, my interest in becoming an ACMI delegate comes from my deepest believes in this movement’s goals of protecting African communities confronting the climate crisis, especially that the impact of ordeal is starting to hit heavy my county. Actually, Tunisians are losing their way of life because of migrating from south to north. The ecosystems they’ve relied on are degraded and fragile. So, they are trying to escape environment pressures and threats that affect the sustainability of agriculture and other economic activities. That’s why, I insist to activity participate in negotiations with stake holders to try to find sustainable solutions to my community. Actually, I took an eye opening certified course organized by the United Nations environment program about the linkage between human rights and issues of the environment and how environmental violations constitute a serious threat to human rights to life good health and a sound environment. That’s why I want to further discuss the relation between the environment, human rights and peace giving that it is my area of expertise. Secondly, as an young African activist in Human rights and children rights , I always want to expand my knowledge about my fields and beyond, simply, because I'm in constant communication with young children ( whom I tutor). These children are potentially the next generation of future leaders and decision makers, thus, they are the future of our communities. So, I would like to become an AMCI youth delegate in order to actively participate in the negotiations this year, then go home to my country and educate the next generation of leaders on climate change prevention and how to join in climate action. Also, I would like to host workshops in order to promote the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative and spread more awareness about this global issue. Moreover, as an activist, a 2018 selected peace ambassador by the UNESCO and a country ambassador for an international organization that promotes global peace, I know that I have a unique experience perspective to add if selected as a delegate. Finally, it always a pleasure to network with other change-makers from different backgrounds yet with the same mindset of creating a positive impact and also drive youth advocacy.

I must mention that in my district cutting of trees is a normal issue and people look at it without thinking of the impact that has on the climate and it is for this reason that I wish to attend the climate change and be availed with information that I can use in my community.
1515	Vongai	Mbara	African New Media Group	www.whatshotafrica.com	I am a female journalist with an excellent work ethic gained from working with reputable organizations including the largest newspaper in the country, The Herald. Journalism to me is a passion turned into a career. I like that I get to watch and be a part of history as it unfolds. I also like that I have a responsibility to inform, educate as well as entertain the public. My goal is to contribute meaningfully to my community, while at the same time being able to learn through my job, to become a source of excellence in whatever I do and become a person of leading responsibility.	As part of young people, we are not coping very well with climate change. For us, the destruction of the planet is personal. Climate change is not an isolated phenomenon; on the contrary it is affecting us in all aspects of our lives. The impact of climate change is even stronger in developing countries like Zimbabwe, posing a threat to development, as it risks hampering access to water, food, sanitation and security, among other things. Indeed, if we don’t implement adequate responses to climate change, the long term realization of the Millennium Development Goals are at risk. This is why it is important for us to stand in the frontline in the coming decades and meet the challenges posed by climate change. We will be dealing with the threats and opportunities of climate change whether we choose to do so or are forced to do so, and whether we like it or not. I choose to stand up and call for proper attention to climate change. As a young African lady living in a country likely to be affected by natural disasters worsened by climate change, I feel compelled to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27. I am confident that the youth’s contributions will make a difference. Together WE CAN!
1516	Jeffter	Donkoh	Esports Africa News	www.esportsafricanews.com	I am a young, unorthodox thinker with a poise for solving problems. I like to challenge myself to think outside the box and reinvent the wheel, where possible, within every space I find myself. I have an imaginative mind and think of myself as one who appreciates expressive art forms- music, visual illustrations, etc and this has led to my growth as a self-taught creative designer.	Having been introduced to the world of advocacy, volunteerism and open, I have had a keen interest over the years to find ways to contribute my quota towards impactful change in the world. Over recent times, one of my major interests has been the climate and how the changes over time have affected and are affecting us in the world. With temperatures rising, devastating extremes of weather have become quite common. The slow response of the world has proved worrisome as the effects of this global phenomenon are glaring for everyone to see. This is something that impacts everyone everywhere equally without regard for race, religion, affiliation, creed or wealth. It is with this background that I have been on the active search for opportuinties to contribute in the conversation about Climate Change and to find practical solutions to remedy the dire situation. It is my hope to go further to educate my local community and do my part in an effort to save the planet.

This is the very reason I founded the SDGs Academy Uganda. To empower the youth in Uganda and East Africa in the augmentation of the global discourse on climate action and governance. I pledge to share the knowledge and networks I'll acquire at the COP27 with my fellow youth back in Uganda and East Africa, in the difference portfolios I'm privileged to hold.

I am an advocate for gender equality and the sustainable use of resources, and I have a deep passion for understanding and learning about cutting-edge, multidisciplinary approaches that can be used to address the many problems that rural communities in Namibia face, as well as the sustainable management of the country's natural resources. I obtained a bachelor’s degree from Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST), Windhoek, Namibia and a Master’s Degree in Master of Business Administration, majoring in Management from International University of Management, Windhoek. Over the years, I have actively committed myself to the field of climate change as an enthusiast and feminist and I am very much particular about how climate change affects the environment. Since joining GISFORAfrica in 2017 as a Geographic Information System (GIS) professional, we have worked assiduously to ensure that we gather data from various African countries, to highlight the impact of climate change and simplify it for everyone's better understanding. I believe that geospatial data must be accurately collected and maintained in order to accurately measure and monitor the impact of climate change as the world attempts to mitigate it. The effects of Namibia's recent drought in 2018/19 and the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 highlighted the need to improve small-holder farmers' and agribusinesses' resilience to external shocks to ensure sustainable livelihoods in both rural and urban areas. Currently, I am working for a project called Farming for Resilience (F4R) that aims to improve the rural livelihoods of small-scale farmers in communal areas by training them and collecting baseline information for monitoring purposes. Furthermore, I am a mentor with the Young Leaders Mentorship Program. We particularly mentor university students on how to innovatively spatially plan and design the most effective tools for the urban environment in dealing with climate change because they address both mitigation and adaptation.	Growing up in a small village in northern Namibia, I want to ensure that the next generation has the future they deserve. Climate change is not a nightmare; it is a reality and a journey in which we must all work together to save the next generation. I am an active community advocate, and this opportunity will allow me to tap into the vast expertise, creativity, and enthusiasm of other young people to develop and implement climate solutions that will benefit my country and Africa as a whole. I have strong communication and networking skills, so I will be able to collaborate with other young people to share and present our ideas. I would therefore want to represent Namibia at COP27 since the country has experienced drought and flood in the last 4 years as a result of climate change. One of the ACMI's goals is to protect those on the move and to strengthen the resilience of African communities facing the climate crisis. With climate change worsening the living conditions in most rural areas, new methods of producing food are required; thus, we ensure that farmers practices new farming methods and techniques. As a GIS Specialist, my team specifically trains small-holder farmers in communal areas to strengthen the resilience of the agri-food sector in general and the capacity to adapt to climate change. We primarily focus on community gardens and marginalized communities in Namibia's most vulnerable regions, such as the Kunene and Kavango regions. As a youth delegate, I will have the opportunity to network with a variety of interesting people, including not only decision makers, but also my peers who are interested in promoting climate change adaptation and action plans. Furthermore, being a youth delegate will allow me to gain first-hand experience that will help me set or reposition the direction of my career, while also allowing me to share some of the interventions that I have designed for my country with the rest of the world. I am a unique candidate for this opportunity because choosing me to attend COP 27 will install confidence in the Namibian community and rural areas that regulations to mitigate the current situation are being developed. I am a voice of the vulnerable groups, especially those affected by the impacts of climate change.

This program offers young people the opportunity to participate and show their creativity, with innovations and inventions. The purpose of this program is to guide young people on the path of hard work and knowledge to achieve the hoped-for prosperity and development, to increase the spirit of creativity and innovation in the younger generations, to endorse and promote their innovation capabilities and enhance digital manufacturing skills. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development ( UNCTAD ) in partnership with the African Civil Society on the Information Society ( ACSIS SCASI ), one of the largest ICT networks of Civil Society in Africa organized the “Africa E-Commerce Week” in Nairobi, Kenya from December 10 to 14, 2017 under the theme “ Empowering Africa Economies in the digital Era ”.	I my country i developped an initiative called Green for space.Through this initiative we are transforming towns in Burkina Faso solution Nowadays, the world is facing problems related to climate change. We have proposed solutions based on IOT to solve certain climatic problems. Our solution makes it possible to collect climatic data, follow the evolution and the need for water for the gardens in cities, analysis of agricultural data in the fields, water analysis etc... added value Through the solutions we offer. We use a mobile application for the collection and analysis of data and this data comes from mini boxes that are easy to transport. That is to say that these boxes offer several services at the same time. can be placed in a space to collect data, measure the pH and other mineral salts of the water for before consumption, used in a field to collect data and repel birds and animals harmful to crops, used in gardens and the green spaces that we develop in cities. In conclusion, this solution is an all-in-one solution. innovation what makes our approach quite important is the fact that people express the need to create green spaces in cities. Also agricultural and climate research centers are increasingly asking for sensor-based solutions to facilitate the data analysis. our services make it possible to maximize agricultural harvests. they make it possible to provide more drinking water in rural areas.With the creation of green spaces, we offer jobs to women and young people, they work as gardeners, cleaners, maintainers boxes

1527	Bhoomika	Jaggeshar			Bhoomika Jaggeshar is a 23-year-old Mauritian, who completed her Law and Management studies at the University of Mauritius in 2020. She joined the University of Mauritius as Research Assistant in December 2020 on a project aiming at analysing the quality of life and work of migrant and domestic workers in Mauritius, following the proliferation of Covid-19. Through this research project, Bhoomika had the opportunity to learn and grow alongside fellow researchers and professors from the University of Strathclyde (UK), who were also collaborating on this project. Furthermore, Over the course of her 1.5-year career, Bhoomika has developed a skill set including legal research and writing and government policy and regulations as well as administrative duties. While working at the University of Mauritius, she was also part of the organizing committee of Bringing COP26 to Mauritius Forum, Quality of Work and life Dissemination Workshop as well as the University of Mauritius Moot Court Competition, where she also served as a panel member. Being a climate justice advocate, Bhoomika has had the opportunity to be part of prestigious conferences based on Informational Governance and Climate Actions as well as the Oslo International Environmental Law Conference 2022 as a researcher advocating for climate education as well as plastic pollution in small island developing states. Moreover, Bhoomika is also an active member of the Rotaract Club of Atlantis Business School where she currently serves as Director of Public Image. Being part of the Rotary International family, Bhoomika has participated in various projects ranging from disease prevention and health, community development to environment. At the club level, she has been part of a sustainable project entitled Youth Eco Champions which aims at empowering youth into sustainable actions while addressing the aspect of gender in climate change. Overall, Bhoomika has consistently demonstrated strong communication, leadership, and research abilities in every aspect of her professional duties and if given the opportunity she will optimise it fully to empower her community in her home country toward a more sustainable lifestyle and future.	The concept of climate mobility is closely related to Mauritius as internally we can witness people moving from coastal regions to the upper Central Plateau because of temperature rise as well as the impact of climate change on their livelihoods. But most importantly we experience a brain drain as youngsters passionate about the topic of climate change, environmental governance, and environmental protection find better opportunities and support outside the country to deepen their expertise as well as work for what they are really passionate about. However, Mauritius, unfortunately, finds itself with weaker institutional capacity and expertise to combat the climate crises. As an early career academic who is deeply passionate about environmental law, climate justice, and sustainability, this opportunity will empower me to learn and grow through the sharing of knowledge while rubbing shoulders with experts in the field of environmental and climate change science, law, and policy. By learning from the expertise of others, I will be able to bring much-needed transformational change in the area of climate change to better serve my country. Furthermore, if I am presented with the opportunity to participate in this prestigious event, it gives me the honour to share my experience and knowledge with fellow Rotary, Rotaract, and Interact members in Mauritius and better lead the changes we wish to see in our beloved nation. This opportunity may be the springboard for a career in climate change and policy, thus equipping me with the knowledge and skills to start my journey in this field.
1528	Felix	Olindi	Goal Global	www.goalglobal.org	I am a Ugandan social activist and youth leader with key interests in climate sustainability and mobility. I am currently studying for a Bachelors of Laws at Makerere University. I am the founder of Youth EnvironMentality, an initiative that utilizes arts to raise awareness about the impacts of climate change and also mobilize young people for climate action. I possess valuable experience in social and climate related research and have worked with on a research study by Restless Development about the impacts of climate change on the lives and livelihoods of young people in Uganda. Climate mobility was one of the issues that came from this research which culminated into a publication-Living in the climate crisis; Young people in Uganda. I ably shared our research findings at COP26 and the African Youth Conference on Climate Change. I am a member of Goal Global’s NextGen Youth Network where we examine key concepts of global citizenship and provide solutions to challenges that young people face in trying to live a sustainably. I am responsible for examine key concepts of climate change including climate mobility and youth engagement. I possess experience in meaningful youth engagement and programming with a specific focus on inclusion.	I would like to raise awareness about how the adverse impacts of climate change increasingly contribute, directly and indirectly to the different forms of mobility that unfold within countries and across borders. I look forward to redefining the concept of climate mobility. Most conversations on climate related migration have focused on adult populations, yet emerging evidence suggests that children also become uprooted and displaced due to climate change, or they are left behind when their parents are compelled to move in search of livelihoods. Therefore, it is important to shine a light on the plight of children on the move and to better understand how children and young people are affected by climate related migration and displacement. I would like to lead the way in redefining key concepts of climate mobility in relation to children at COP27 and propose actions to ensure that all efforts to address climate mobility prioritize the interests of young children and young people. This conversation will be key in ensuring that children’s rights and needs are part of the wider debate on climate mobility. I would also like to address the misconceptions regarding the relationship between climate and migration which is extremely relevant in ensuring that adults and children affected by climate change recieve the right policy support. Firstly, that climate change does not always lead to mobility.While climate change can lead to an increased propensity to move, it can also erode vital capital and resources necessary for migration and leave some of the most vulnerable and poorest groups unable to move in response to climate and environmental risks, simply put- involuntary immobility. Secondly, that mobility can be a proactive adaptation strategy. Rather than being portrayed as a negative outcome or a failure to adapt, mobility, in particular migration can be an effective proactive adaptation strategy, not only a reactive coping mechanism.Most policy responses focus on deterring migrants and stopping migration. However, migrants are not simply victims of climate change but agents of change, and migration represents a strategy to minimize risk which can contribute to building long-term resilience. Therefore, reinforcing the assumption that migration is a last resort when people fail to adapt locally is problematic. Lastly, I want to change the commonly traded narrative that most climate migrations are across borders. It is often assumed that climate change will result in the increased movement of people to international destinations, particularly to European and North American destinations. In reality though, most climate related mobility takes place within country borders. Therefore, COP27 gives me the best platform to discuss the above commonly ignored but important concepts on climate mobility which is important in shaping how policy makers act to provide solutions for climate mobility and how the general public views people who move due to climate change.
1529	ISAAC	MATHENGE	ROLE MODEL YOUTH GROUP	NIL	My name is Isaac Githu Mathenge ,born and raised in Kenya.I am 22 years old and I live with my father from time to time,he and my mother separated while at a young age but it made me even stronger in character. My childhood was pretty much exciting but with an on and off, happiness situation due to the divorce but that made my mind stronger on what I really want for myself as a man in the future,that being said I attended my primary school in Nairobi till the class 4,then proceeded to a boarding school in Kwale county from class 5 till my finals ,then my high school I attended in Makueni county and my college I am currently studying in Mombasa,for a diploma in civil engineering. So during my young school days I was an active member of the scouting initiative in Kenya and during my high school years I was a member of sea scouts member for some time. As an adult now I have made a few achievements by working with KTDA as a brand ambassador and team leader in sale marketing and to date I am an active member of BADILISHA YOUTH FOUNDATION[BYF]who deal in internet installation and wi-fi marketing in our community. Currently the two youth groups that I am involved with have started an ICT YOUTH HUB for the community at large and with this our agendas will reach out to many. So now I run a youth group of my own with fellow youth in the community,myself I am an artist by talent I draw and paint and also play basketball.Recently our youth group has been actively involved in community clean up schedules in certain months of the year where we gather around to clean up our community and save the river life and soil enrichment in our locality. Under BYF I work as a digital marketer where we market our work to subscribers and the community and we engage the community to participate in some of these clean ups which might be ,minimal but it brings a change and the small change under BYF and my youth group that I run we follow in the same footsteps for betterment of the community,we help clean,plant and manage the cleanliness in our community. Conserning my character I can proudly say hat I dislike ‘litter bugs’ I am the one person who would hold on to a wrapping paper till I find a litter bin.I put myself in a position that I want a change especially in our country where we litter into the ocean and think it is okay this is causing adverse effects in our climate in the local area and a change must come and it starts off with me.	My motivation towards applying for ACMI delegate was to firstly gain experience in the real world in the fight to sustain our earth's climate change and especially Africa where we receive a large backlash in climate change over the recent years and I want to participate to show the community that I live in, that climate change is real and the earth is not going to fix its self and change starts with an individual, who is willing to encourage other youths in the country and county to do the same and to choose better energy consumption methods and also reduce the use of CFC's that damage the ozone layer. I say this from a point of view coming from the fact that I live in the dirtiest county in Kenya that is Mombasa and I for one am not a fan of that title, I would appreciate this opportunity to learn about many more ways to stop climate change, interact with other youths from other countries to talk about their troubles in their countries and propositions they have towards climate change, share ideas with fellow youths from all round Africa on methods of how to curb climate change in our mother land and to also participate actively henceforth given the opportunity , as a member of ACMI, to share the knowledge of how to stop climate change with fellow Kenyans and also our county government of Mombasa so that we could generate cleaner streets and cleaner sources of energy for the county and country at large. If our county is dirty it will definitely mobilise into other counties and so far Nairobi is also becoming overpopulated and thus the carbon emitting vehicles are increasing evidently and the air is being polluted which in return as rainfall is polluting our soil and people are still asking why there is no yield from the soil when clearly there is a visible problem. If Kenyans do not want to open their eyes to the obvious then I am ready to open their eyes for them by actively participating in the initiative and to hopefully gain the right attention needed to help stop this cause of climate change.

I am Senegalese and I had my university degree in biological analysis technology as well as a master's degree in health, safety and environment. Currently, I work as a health, safety and environment specialist in a power plant. I also did a training in environmental and social impact studies because the environment is a field that fascinates me and I like to participate in its improvement. In my daily work, I want to preserve our environment because our activities involve many risks of pollution including fire, explosion, spills, ..... and a good risk assessment allows, among other things, to avoid certain incidents.	ACMI youth forum is a very good initiative and I am applying because the program invites us young people to take matters into our own hands, to share our experience and find solutions to a problem that concerns us all. The questions of sustainable development affect us and as a person evolving in the field of HSE(Health,Safety and Environment) I am led to find solutions for the survival, maintenance and improvement of our environment. My country, which is Senegal, is a country in which there is still a lot to do in the environmental field, particularly with the problems of pollution, urbanization, support for businesses,... which result in climate change. All these reasons make me want to join this program to give solutions and meet like-minded people with whom we can make great leaps forward.
1531	Sizwe	Zungu	Culture Company	zungulaw.co.za	I was born in the East rand part of Johannesburg in South Africa. I was lucky enough to have entered this world with a twin sister. We both experienced the childhood of working class parents. She and I had above average primary and secondary school education. I am grateful for this. However looking back, this was not easy to finance for working class parents of two. My sister and I are fortunate to have acquired university admission and be able obtain bursaries for our qualifications. I studied a bachelor of laws degree and I am currently doing a master’s degree in intellectual property law. During my undergraduate degree I had a part-time voluntary post at a non-profit organisation for orphans and vulnerable children in my community. This experience gave me a lot of personal growth and a reality check about the plight some children in my community grow up under.	I believe I am a suitable candidate because, I have a Bachelor of laws degree and I have compassion for humanity. Furthermore I am passionate about conservation of the environment. My first work experience was volunteering at a community NPO which catered for vulnerable and orphan children. I learnt a great deal about the day to day challenges the youth faced in disadvantaged communities. I want to use my legal qualification and experience to preserve the rich biodiversity we have and contribute to a society that is sustainable for all who live in it. As a delegate I will meet like-minded individuals and broaden my network. I will learn and contribute in assisting the youth forum to meet its objectives.

1533	Musa	Wally	Yep The Gambia	musawally26@gmail.com	In much the same way, there are many scientific nuances on how to handle the problem of land degradation in deferent type of Soil conditions, in many agro- climatic zones, And in the deffaring contacts of cultural and economic tradition's. It is nevertheless possible to distill out one overarching objective- which is to ensure that there is a minimum of 3-6% organic contact in agricultural Soil.This would make our Soil vibrantly living, and sustainable thriving access all agricultural land.	The gathering of all the countries of the world COP27 summit in Cote d,voire is the key opportunity to redouble governmental policy effort aimed at reversing the degradation of agricultural land all around the world, and in so doing bring humanity back from the very brink of soil extinction. To save Soil at large scale we need to shepe a doop-rooted people's movement. Notwithstanding the complex nature of the ecological problem facing is, a successful people's movement can be created only if we can distill the remedial action into just single mainded focus that is articulated in a succinct and simple way. Our history of ecological effort shows very few unequivocal successes - largely because we failed to convert complex scientific arguments into easy to understand simple action.

His study was titled “Localising the Sustainable Development Goals in Rural Municipalities through Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships: A Case Study of Nkandla Municipality”. As he is currently studying towards his PhD at the same time is involved in writing towards numerous policy papers centred around areas such as climate change and local government.	My personal focus interest is on the SDGs, which mainly climate action forms part of them. Therefore, climate action comprises addressing broad issues of climate change so to prepare a sustainable envioronment to have a sustainable world. My contribution efforts includes numerious involvement to climate issues including initiatives such as conducting research to understanding causes of continued climate problem. I am currently a member of WESSA, an environmental organisation which through we have managed to run a quite number of clean ups and environmental educational activities within Durban. I am also currently serveing as the secretary general of an organisation called Climate and Environmental Action Group (CEAG). This organisation was formed by a group of young students who are concerned by the state of climate change in our society. The activities of the organisation are embedded to the Durban University of Technology through the ICON (International Centre of Non-Voilence). I also a member and regularly participate to Protect Our Planet Movement (POP), which is a global climate action youth led organisation based in New York. The organisation runs climate action activities across the world including Africa. I once was invited by South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA) to participate on its Youth Policy Committee (YPC) meeting with UK Youth Groups as a preparation for COP26. I am interested in activities that seeks to contribute for the achievement of the UN Agenda 2030 and SDGs. Beyond this area having become one of my research interest, I am much more concerned about sustainable world, and that makes me believe that through multi-stakeholder partnership efforts we have potential to achieve sustainable development by addressing climate change. Currently the banning issues for our planet includes climate change, therefore, as a result of this numerous efforts such as research, engagements, awareness, education, support, including ocean activities are needed more than ever, only if we are serious to mitigate climate change problem towards 2030. Numerous reports every year comes out and warn us that much integrated effort is needed. I recently received and read the UN SDGs report, in the report climate change continues to remain one of the most concerning problems for our world. I am also looking forward to receive the IPCC report, which in essence is one of climate change global science report that gives us some direction to which how we need to move forward in addressing climate change issues towards Agenda 2030.

Through this foundation we have been able to educate girls on career building and sexual health. I do part-time job at Remotask which involves freelancing and transcription. I love nature especially forests. I do spend time adventuring forests around.	I am motivated to apply for the ACMI youth forum delegate for COP27 because of two reasons: First, Chemical and Process Engineering has units dealing with Industrial Pollution and Environment Impact Assesment Audit. We are all aware that industrialization is one of the cause of climate change due to pollution from industries. It is therefore my vision as an incoming Engineer to resolve pollution from industries. Secondly having served as a Student Leader, I have the capability of leading people to a certain goal. I have led tree planting forums in High School which succeeded. I would like to mobilize youth from a vast area towards demystifying climate change and it's effects. Lastly, I live in the Lake region of Lake Victoria. Due to climate change the region has been receiving unusual heavy rain. This has led to encroachment of the Lake Front to people's farms and settlement. The rain are still heavy rain which has caused many people to be displaced. Taking part in ACMI youth forum as a delegate would be a great honor to represent my area.

My CV attached to my linked profile out lines some of the places I have worked and volunteered including my academic pursuits. I am a waste management expert with over two years of experience on projects on waste and environmental management in Cameroon. As a junior expert in environmental engineering, I am passionate about looking for innovative sustainable solutions to the manifold environmental problems arising from human developments. My ambition is to look for solutions in the clean energy sector especially biogas.	In addition to my academic journey, after my Masters studies, I worked for a period of one year during which I developed my interpersonal skills, collaborative and communication skills. I have equally learnt how to be diplomatic and dynamic when the need arises and hence I am confident that being selected for the COP27 will help boost my portfolio and expand my view on some pertinent contemporary issues. Interactions with others will give me the needed exposure to better serve and be a Pan Africanist. Interacting with other African Youths is a wonderful privilege that I would be grateful to have because I know the impact it would have in my life and society there after.

1546	ENOH JEANOT	FONGOH	Institute of Geological and Mining Research(IRGM), Water and climate change Research Centre		I am ENOH JEANOT FONGOH, 29 years old, from Yaounde Cameroon, Central Africa. I am holder of a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology and Master of Science in Applied Geology from the University of Buea, Cameroon. I am presently doing a PhD program on water resource management sponsored by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). It is a sandwich program with part of the study in the University of Douala, Cameroon and the other in the University of Bourgogne Franche-Comte, France. The aim of the study is used isotopic tracers and hydrogeological methods to develop climatological and hydrological models for better management of water resources. Also, I am a Researcher officer at the Cameroon Institute of Geological and Mining Research (IRGM), Water and Climate change Research Centre (CREEC) where I am tasked among others in carrying out study on climate change and its impact on key processes in the hydrological cycle, prevention of natural risks in hydrology (floods, drought, landslide and gas related disasters in lakes) and land use planning together with the concerned administration. Through the centre, I was opportune to participate in the JICA Knowledge Co-Creation Program (KCCP) on Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction organised by JICA in collaboration with the Japanese government. In addition, I also participated on the 25th World water convention week at Home; the session on financing climate change adaptation in Trans boundary basins organized by UNECE. Furthermore, as a researcher and as a strong advocate for climate change awareness, i contributed in publishing an article on Assessment of Climate Variability and Its Impact on the Environment and Water Resources in the Mount Cameroon Area. In: Chenchouni H. et al. (eds) New Prospects in Environmental Geosciences and Hydrogeosciences. CAJG 2019. Advances in Science, Technology & Innovation (IEREK Interdisciplinary Series for Sustainable Development). Springer, Cham. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-72543-3_91. This research work has been communicated in several webinars and conferences remarkably the First international conference organized by Cameroon Academy of Young Scientist, theme “Young Scientist: the engine of innovation and development of Africa‶.	Climate change and related disasters are mostly underrated, poorly understood and poorly communicated in many communities and African countries at large. There is need for sensitization, preparedness and creation of awareness of climate related risk in our communities which is the reason I am applying as a young delegate from Cameroon. Cameroon’s economy depends on agriculture which is mostly rain-fed. Climate variability and change has had serious impact on the agricultural activities in the country requiring adaptation measures. Also, most urban centers have been faced with flooding with little or no measures taken to address the situation. My communication on climate variability and change based on my research findings has been mostly communicated among professionals in Conferences, seminars and webinars. As a young Cameroon delegate, COP27 wiil be a good platform to learn and contribute in global events in climate change decision making thereby having greater impact and recognition in my community and country at large.

1558	Daniela Loberline	RATIARISOA	Réseau Climat de l’Océan Indien (RCOI)		Daniela Loberline RATIARISOA is a Social Entrepreneur, Climate activist, Youth inclusion Advocate and Feminist. From the age of 14, she has committed herself to serving the development of her community. She has already led School Club and NGO where she developed her leadership and citizen-led development skills. After graduation, she created a social venture called VIAVY FISH SHOP. Her personal background empowers her traits and behavior. Living inside a poor region and raised within fishermen’s family, she became a fighter and perseverant when focusing on her objectives. Her fight consists of focusing on fishing development & marine ecosystem protection; and advocating for improving gender equality, sustainable development and tackling climate change. Since 2020, she has worked as an Advisor for Facilitation and Outcome Management for Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH Madagascar; through a Sustainable Aquaculture Project. Her main role is ensuring the coordination and monitoring of the project activities with the Ministry of fisheries and blue economy. Then, organization and facilitation of networking and exchanges between aquaculture stakeholders and the government. Additionally, I am the Gender Focal Point (GPF) of our project. I work with National Gender Focal Point to promote diversity and inclusion in our workplace. Furthermore, as a GPF I am responsible for developing an initiative for promoting gender in the farm fishing profession. In addition, she is the co-founder of “Women Break the Silence” Project. The project seeks to support victims of sexual violence, to combat the stigma around sexual assault in 7 regions in Madagascar, and to raise awareness of laws against gender-based violence. On 2019 since today, I am leading a youth platform called “Réseau Climat de l’Océan Indien (RCOI)”. The platform aims to promote the participation of Youth to tackle climate change on recycling, training & youth engagement, climate justice, entrepreneurship and sustainable development. On 2015, Daniela founded VIAVY FISH SHOP, a social venture that provide social and economic benefits for fisher communities by promoting Fair Trade, giving access to quality education to the fisher’s daughter, creating decent work, ensuring food security, fisherwoman empowerment (leadership training) then managing and protecting the marine ecosystem. Last not least, Daniela wants to act as a role model for people in her own community to demonstrate that the passion can drive the ability to change the world, regardless of one’s background.	Born and raised within fishermen’s village; I experienced the detrimental impacts of climate change both socially and economically. After, a lot of fighting and persevering; I am proud to be the first fisherman’s daughter having a bachelor’s degree in our community. I assumed that being the first girl able to overcome our community's issues, giving me a duty to make change for it. Thus, after my graduation I participate in advocacy and awareness raising activities to protect the environment in costal area in my community. In addition, I co-lead a national platform called “Réseau Climat de l’Océan Indien (RCOI)” with this platform I was able to scale up my fight for climate change especially on ocean and fisheries sector as well as on Youth engagement. At this moment, we organized a project named “Youth Climate Summit”; the main objective of the summit is to mobilize youth and teachers for climate change advocacy and awareness across 69 high schools in 23 regions of Madagascar. Some of the activities will take place before COP 27 and some will be part of the post COP to take advantage of the media buzz resulted from this international event. We would like to have an international visibility and confront government officials with the realities experienced by the youth in our country before they leave for the COP. In one hand, As an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27, I could bring to the table the real data and analysis on climate change issues in Madagascar issued by young leaders and activists as well as civil society organization cooperation. These documentations will be efficient for the ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 to raise our voice and advocate for our right and our future in front of the government delegates. In the other hand, the voices, opinions and ideas I gathered during the conference helped me guide my own interactions at my different organization, driving me to highlight the need for tackling climate change processes and also a wider understanding of the global goals and their critical importance to global efforts in climate adaptation and resilience which I could bring back and include on our training modules as well as future activities. Finally, I believe that COP 27 is a perfect moment to advocate for my community and raise awareness around the world that today, the countries that emit the least greenhouse gas emissions are the ones that suffer the most from the impacts of climate change. Thus, Madagascar is suffering the direct impacts of this climate change with only 0.19 tonnes/ habitant / year versus 14.24 tonnes/habitant/year for other country. Imagine, seeing children in your community suffering from malnutrition, your friends forced getting married earlier because their parents come from fishing without nothing as the ocean has less fish, or they do not have another resource of revenue. I need to make change for it and I believe being part of ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 will advance my fight.

This Master's Degree confers on me particular knowledge in management and protection of the environment, particularly in the production of biodiesel and other renewable energies, considering the program in question and the various internships and fieldwork carried out. Passionate about challenges, I have a great sense of initiative and a strong capacity to acquire new knowledge. As a 2021 laureate of the national student entrepreneur status, I have a great sense of organization and leadership while adapting easily to different environments with determination in the achievement of my goals.	Given the objectives of the conferences of the parties which are among other things to find eco-friendly solutions to the problems of climate change by limiting the emissions of greenhouse gases in order to preserve the planet from natural disasters, I as a researcher in the discovery of biodiesel from the waste of oil palm trees, which is undoubtedly a revolution from the point of view of biofuels but also from the point of view of sustainable development and environmental protection, I think I am the ideal candidate to become the AMCI Youth Forum Delegate for COP27 to learn more and improve my angle of vision in the discovery of ecological solutions for the protection of our environment and the management of related waste. Considering the increasing prices of fuels, the depletion of natural stocks which is limited without forgetting the harmful effect of carbon dioxide emitted by these fuels in the atmosphere, an energetic transition, from fossil energies to renewable energies is of absolute necessity. Therefore, it will be a golden opportunity to meet with visionaries aware of the current climate situation from various horizons in order to expose them this project of biodiesel production from the waste oil palm waste largely produced in Africa and therefore to be able to contribute to the preservation of our planet and sustainability.

1564	Babatunde	Bale	The R.E.T.I.N.A Initiative	https://theretinainitiative.org/	For over 3 years, I have garnered experience in leading social entrepreneurship and community mobilization to advocate for issues that affect marginalized communities in the southern region of Nigeria. I am one of the few emerging leaders in Nigeria taking action to solve the problem of climate change in an inclusive and innovative way. I am passionate about helping underserved and vulnerable communities become free from preventable blindness by implementing sustainable eye care innovations, community outreach programmes and advocacy campaigns that challenge the barriers to universal health coverage. This includes but is not limited to awareness and advocacy campaigns in slums and remote villages to provide environmentally sustainable solutions to safe disposal of waste, water, sanitation and hygiene that can lead to neglected tropical diseases like trachoma and onchocerciasis Thus, I have led 11 projects that have impacted 4,621 beneficiaries in 15 communities. As a result, I was awarded as one of the Ten Outstanding Young Persons in Nigeria by the Junior Chambers International Nigeria. I also emerged as one of the finalists for the Org. Impact Awards to win $45,000 that will be used to implement community-based projects aligned to solve climate action and eye health problems. Furthermore, I am a United Nations SDG Campus Ambassador under the Millennium Fellowship. An alumnus of the Clinton Global Initiative University founded by former U.S. President, Bill Clinton. A fellow of the HarvardX Crossroads Emerging Leaders Program. by Harvard Business School. An OpportunityDesk Impact Challenge for Changemakers winner. An alumnus of the Young Professionals Bootcamp. A finalist for the Active Citizenship Award in health. A Pollination Project $1,000 seed grant awardee. A two-time Peace First mini-grant awardee. And among the 100 Most Inspiring Nigerian Students.	The livelihoods of most people, particularly those in developing countries in Africa, are critically dependent on a highly variable and changing climate. Single extreme events in some countries can cause setbacks equivalent to a decade’s worth of economic growth. As such, development and poverty reduction are often being prevented as a result of the variability and extremes of climate. Additionally, achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will be possible only if climate variability and change are managed more effectively. The way forward is delivering adaptation actions — actions that help to reduce vulnerability to climate risks or to exploit opportunities. To achieve this, I leverage on global partnership in capacity building, training, education and public awareness at all levels. Building adaptive capacity through improving the understanding of climate change, associated risks and specific vulnerabilities has provided us with strategic actions for eliminating most of the barriers to climate adaptation. In one of the community intervention programmes, we identified a remote rural community situated in Edo State (a state in the southern region of Nigeria). This community has no access to primary health care services. The community members (which consists mostly of elderly people and women) had to travel about 17 kilometres to the closest community to access health care. The neglected tropical disease, trachoma, was prevalent in this community and it attracted our attention. Eventually, we travelled down to this community to conduct a needs assessment to investigate the root cause of the problem. From our findings, we found an association between trachoma and indicators of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). Dirty faces, improper waste disposal, far distance to the stream, inadequate knowledge of its environmental hazards, and lack of access to sanitary toilet facilities have all been found to contribute to the increased prevalence of trachoma in the community. Thus, we engaged with the community leaders to organize an awareness campaign at churches, market place and schools in the community. We also constructed ultra-modern latrines with the financial support we received from the Peace First grant. In the same vein, we leveraged collaboration with other organizations to build a water borehole for the community. Over 500 people benefitted from this project which increased environmental sanitation, and reduced the prevalence of trachoma disease and ultimately blindness. Nigeria is Africa’s largest economy and most populous country with environmental degradation, air pollution and climate change having devastating impacts and effects on vulnerable and low-income communities. Unfortunately, climate change is projected to push already vulnerable populations into extreme poverty further impeding their access to health services. Doing nothing will seriously cause decreased productivity, reduced human performance and quality of life. Therefore, participating in the ACMI Youth Forum will enable me to learn, collaborate and engage with key stakeholders and policymakers on how to develop strategic interventional programmes that will improve equity and inclusiveness for vulnerable groups on climate action and good health.

He has a background in planning with a bachelor and graduate certificates in human settlement planning and Master of Philosophy in planning from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana. Anthony is an ESRI certified cartographer and holds certificate in geospatial and environmental analyses from the California University. Anthony believes that the application of geospatial technologies can bring sustainable solutions diverse societal challenges. This he has expressed and demonstrated through academic publications and invited talks and presentations on local as well as international platforms. Over the years, Anthony has contributed to national and global discourses through interdisciplinary research using both qualitative and quantitative approaches and methodologies. Recently, he modelled the spread of COVID 19 with multiple indicators in Ghana. Research that got international recognition and the methodological and conceptual underpinnings applied in many subsequent publications. Anthony is one of the few Africans with adequate certification and license to fly and operate unmanned aerial vehicle. His passion is mostly in the theoretical and practical application of geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing (RS). His present research interest is in contemporary and cross cutting issues in sustainability in planning, agriculture, climate studies and urban growth and development. Presently, Anthony is the Technical Advisor (GIS and Remote Sensing) for GIZ Ghana on the Resilient Against Climate Change (REACH) Project.	I wish to contribute to the discussions on Climate Mobility from the academic and industrial (field) point of view. I believe such platforms enhances youthful discussions and amplifies contemporary ideas in tackling the climate induced mobility and to harness and document positive deviants and practices in this field. The connection between climate hazards and mobility is somewhat complex but is overly simplified and painted as linear. The complexity is seen in two schools of thought, thus, mainstream proponent of climate mobility being good and bad. However, it is globally accepted that climate hazards causes displacement of people and induce involuntary mobility. Additionally, climate changes outcomes affecting economic activities of people influences mobility. Ghana is not out of the countries under the influence of climate hazards. It is exacerbated in the northern part of the country in the five regions. The Resilient Against climate Change (REACH) project seeks to properly engage communities on climate mobility and related issues in this rural areas. I wish to contribute to this discourse with documented best practices and positive defiance in the field climate mobility especially in the rural communities of temperate regions in Ghana.

1568	Ruth Ketty	Kisuza	All Issues Women	https://allissueswomen.com/	Ruth Ketty Kisuza is an eco-feminist and a passionate gender equality advocate from Uganda. She is the podcast host for the all issues women podcast. A platform that champions conversations on issues affecting African girls and women by engaging African women and men in conversations on different issues with an aim to increase awareness and advocacy on these issues. The issues include climate change, harmful practices like Female Genital mutilation and child marriages, gender inequalities and mental health. Ruth is a graduate of a master class titled “An African perspective on climate change” by True Africa University. The master class allowed her better her understanding of climate change in Africa, its disproportionate effects to African girls and women and how African women can contribute to climate sustainability in the continent. She is a writer with over 6 published articles. Most of her articles speak to the role of protecting the environment in promoting one health, reducing gender inequalities and promoting good health in the continent. Based on her love for the protection of the environment, Ruth Ketty participated in a Short course and field experiential training programmed on One health by Africa One Health University Network in Uganda and is now a fully certified One health champion. Currently she is a student of the prestigious Gender equality Change maker program by Digital frontiers institute. A program that is allowing her better her knowledge on the different gender inequalities experienced by women in the continent while learning sustainable solutions to these inequalities. Ruth is also a fellow for the 2022/2023 Community exchange programme by IREX. Lastly Ruth is a seasoned writer and scientific researcher, effective and passionate leader who aims to make Africa a better continent by providing African youth with a platform “All issues women podcast” to use their voices to advocate for sustainable change to different pressing issues affecting the continent of which climate change is of top priority.	Share your motivation(s) for applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27. Please describe your experience relating to climate mobility. I hail from Gulu district. Gulu district is in Northern and Uganda and is known for being greatly affected by the Lord Resistance Army insurgency by Kony Rebels in the early 21st century. Whilst the insurgency greatly affected livelihoods and caused widespread poverty, early marriages and deaths among other issues, the district has not been spared from the catastrophic effects of the recent climate changes. Recently, I was having a conversation with my relatives who depend solely on agriculture for a living about their yields. My uncle’s response was and l quote verbatim “All our crops have died in the garden and we do not know how we shall survive next year”. Meanwhile, my cousin sisters, who are way younger than l am decided to get married as a way to survive. This experience is true for other families in my district. Climate change effects on agriculture have caused widespread child marriages, teenage pregnancies and some of my people have left the district in search of greener pastures as security guards or house maids in other districts or to other countries. Becoming an ACMI youth forum delegate for COP27 will give me a platform to share my story with a wider audience and advocate for change. I am a strong believer in using my voice to create a positive change in my community and this was my inspiration to start the all issues women podcast. l have participated in a number of grass root activities aimed at increasing awareness about climate change in my community but being a delegate offers me an opportunity to do this on an even bigger platform with world’s decision makers. Moreover being a delegate also means that l get to connect and network with other climate change justice advocates and to collaborate with them even after COP27 to organize activities that will improve the knowledge and awareness of our communities on climate change and its indirect effects on health, widening gender inequalities and leading to mobility/migration, armed conflicts and even deaths. Lastly, as stated in my bio, I am a scientific researcher. Recently I was assisting with data collection at Mulago national referral hospital Rheumatology clinic when a Somali lady walked into the clinic seeking for direction to the heart clinic. Now, Uganda is known for hosting refugees displaced from their home countries for different reasons including climate change and armed conflicts but till that day, I had never had a personal conversation with a refugee. She was completely vulnerable, her child’s heart was sick, her eyes were sick and moreover in addition to language barrier, she did not have any money for her healthcare. This has equally demonstrated to me the disproportionate effects of climate change and climate mobility on women and being a delegate in COP27 will give me a platform to speak on behalf vulnerable populations like refugees.
1569	Biniam Shewaye	Tebebe	Individual		I am Biniam Shewaye Tebebe from Ethiopia. I was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in January 12, 1994. I hold Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Science and Information Technology from Addis Ababa Science and Technology University in June 2016. My undergraduate class gave me a required technical skill on computer operating systems, programming language, software development, website designing, network installation, configuration and maintenance of ICT equipment’s, data management, system analysis and end-user support. Furthermore to my academic preparation, I have taken many online courses to improve my knowledge. Currently I am an online United Nations Volunteer (UNV) for NGO Sadoqat as a Support with Website Maintenance. My practical exposure since 2017 at Professional Electronic Data Systems Plc (PEDS), Association of Ethiopian Microfinance Institutions (AEMFI), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) and my volunteer assignments in United Nations Volunteer (UNV) helped me to acquire and exercise the required functional and technical knowledge and skills to do my the job at a high level of accomplishment, by being solution oriented to ICT and Inventory challenges in the organizations. I can say I am a very good team player, responsible, risk taker, hard worker, and also I am good at problem solving, leadership, and good at time management. I have excellent digital skills such as managing online social media platforms, applications and software’s and I update myself to new innovations in order to improve skills and to be familiar to new technologies. Naturally I am disciplined and adaptable and good at managing situations. In addition I have no problem in working under pressure. I also am creative, motivated, engaged, quick learner, positive thinker and friendly. Above all I am good listener and understanding; hence I am good communicator. Literatures indicate that, for the future the world is becoming ever more interconnected and the more connected we are, the more we can all benefit from the wisdom and contributions of people everywhere on earth. Given this, I am passionate to put my role, knowledge and contribution for the future more suitable for living and peaceful globalized world by developing new system/software solutions that can help to solve community problems engaged in climate based research sector. which enabling them to get geo spatial data's easily by supporting researchers to track weather and climatic disaster information's using technologies like geographical information systems (GIS), web mapping, remote sensing, artificial intelligence (AI) and internet of things (IOT).	I am highly motivated, open-minded young scholar who appreciates diversity, enthusiastic for change, and believe in continuous learning and teamwork. As person engaged in ICT sector, my academic preparation learned me ICT sector can solve the community problems by developing technological solutions and also my volunteer experience in United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Istanbul International Center for Private Sector in Development (IICPSD) as a Data Collector for Digital Technologies Radar Development in climate change disaster context gives me a huge opportunity to practically understand the use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to reduce climate change disasters. Therefore it motivated me to develop system that can solve the community problems by myself. This can be achieved by giving more attention on investment on innovation and infrastructure. I am passionate to learn the above knowledge’s then I can put my solution and key role on providing various ICT solutions for climate impact and mobility by my own new ideas for my country, I believe I can put my contribution on promoting the digital divide, building infrastructures and engaging in scientific researches and innovations, which are important ways to understand and facilitate automated climate impact research development and unemployment by giving job opportunity for the young Ethiopians. Ethiopia has a fundamental question of digitalized climate impact research development and eradicating old manual works. As a nation having diversified interests and long-standing problems, Ethiopia needs experts who deeply understand and analyze basic questions of climate impact and mobility based on evidence and science and strive to formulate and implement climate based research solutions. I am convinced that much of the problems in my country are lack of basic technology and computer knowledge and believing on outdated and manual working methods and materials. Thus, I am highly inspired and interested to attend in COP27 Delegate at Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum because it able me to be one of the few persons that will help my country get rid of these problems and pass the crossroad it is living in now by contributing my best to fill up the gap in climate impact and mobility research development. Moreover participating in this youth forum will provide me a special experiences in building valuable skills on creative thinking, leadership, believe-in continuous learning, teamwork approaches within the youth, cross cultural skills, respectful towards others and also makes me open-minded young professional. Besides, I will be in a position to create meaningful networking from the diversification, to share experiences with like-minded youth, and to develop a connection that might help me in my future employment and innovative ideas. To achieve my goal, Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum, which has one of the best youth forums opportunity I do not want to miss. Having all these interest, I believe that I possess the skills and abilities which are crucial to attend this very important African Youth Forum. I am very much thrilled to become the member of COP27 Delegate at Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum.

My interest and drive to become an ACMI Youth Delegate for COP 27 is poised from my passion to serve my community. Climate change is the single biggest health threat facing humanity. Being fully aware that past emissions have made global temperatures rise by 1.5 degrees centrigrade and other changes in the atmosphere which are inevitable.. Introspectively, A vivid event during my service in my community (Ngomgham) I observed activities of my community that entailed use of bush fires as techniques for shifting cultivation, inappropriate dumping of refuse (biodegradable and non-biodegradable) at road junctions in massive quantities, High abuse of fertilizers on farmlands, and cutting down trees for construction of infrastructure. The streams and rivers of the community were experiencing eutrophication as the streams were characterized by massive amounts of plastic bottles, dead fish , oily appearance and stenchy smell.Matters became worse as there was an ongoing socio-political crisis that raged my Region. The waste management Company in my community had a halt to all their activities. The congestion of waste around town was noted with an increase in temperatures at night. Being at the North Western part of the country, I found this transient change in temperatures usual. Health wise, I observed a high prevalence of malaria, malnutrition, diarrhea, Typhoid fever at the hospital while on my internship placement. I physically made out the effects/ hazards caused by my community’s anthropogenic activities on the environment and the atmosphere. I discussed my observations with my community leaders (quarter head), outlining the ills of our activities in the present and future, promulgating for the creation of a Waste Management Committee. While in the committee we set up policies which included; massive cleanup campaigns and community sensitization about waste management. This strategy helped to reduce the mishap in the community by clearing the refuse from commercial road Junctions and putting warning signs . In an attempt to curb waste disposal issues, I observed a trend of injustice which is a call for concern. Trusting to be selected as an ACMI delegate for COP27 to represent my Country Cameroon, I will have the opportunity to learn from diverse Climate mobility actors and change makers in order to build and execute climate solutions that will benefit my grass root community, country and Africa at large. I will also have the previldge to network and share experiences on how challenges faced and potential solutions to problems faced with regards to climate mobility.

1574	Isaac	Adelekun	Charle's Walter's Society For Innovation and Research	www.cwsir.org	My name is Adelekun, Isaac Abiodun.I am a graduate of History and Diplomatic Studies from the Tai Solarin University, Nigeria. In line with my academic qualification, I have strong appetence for research and innovation, and a strong bias for international relations, political economy, gender issues, sexuality, and sustainability. As an ardent researcher in my field of study, I have delivered several conference papers and as well written several articles that have been published in reputable international journals. In recognition of my uncommon service and dedication to peace, social and global coexistence, I have been accorded various recognitions such as USA Peace Ambassador Award by the Hera Foundation in 2020, the Best Global SDG’s Ambassador Award by Gaza University, Palestine in 2021, among various other meritorious awards. My academic field of study – History and Diplomatic Studies – has fortified my mind with critical appreciation of social, developmental and political issues that birthed the contemporary world. I have come to understand a wide range of diverse international issues that are germane to global ethics, human rights, global poverty, world peace and climate change. This knowledge places me in a vantage position to address key issues in my immediate community, especially drawing on the experiences of other jurisdictions which I have learned about during the course of my study.	In recent times, Nigeria (my country) has been faced with innumerable number of socio-economic, political, financial, religious, and cultural climate challenges, traceable to deficiencies in policies, gross negligence of the economy as well as heightened irresponsibility, preposterousness and disservice to humanity in literally every definable human institution. These myriads of lacuna in the polity of my nation have been my primary point of motivation. As such, one of my targets and expectations in the programme would be to have proactive and insightful experience with the various causes and consequences of different global social phenomena, which will in turn assist me to intervene in the various consequences include threats to in most countries of the world. Since Childhood, I have been fascinated by the constantly changing world that we live in, wanting to understand and explore the causes and effects of current and future human interactions. I believe that we are living in a time of social and political revolution and climate change can be seen as essentially a convention inextricably linked to the birth of diversity and conflict but it can also be seen as a willingness to cooperate and act collectively. This aids my unrelenting passion to delve into climate mobility. Immediately I came across this golden opportunity, I developed a keen interest though I have flare for Climate change as it would be a lift time opportunity to enhance my knowledge and ability to undertake a critical analysis of contemporary international issues and challenges. I will be exposed to measures that can be taken to tackle problems of developing countries, ranging from human health, and the reduction of biodiversity and habitable areas, leading to migration and deterioration of community, public health, and socioeconomic conditions. I will also learn to identify and evaluate theoretical and pragmatic approaches to sustainable development that have been suggested and implemented in first-world countries in order to save the world. Through the Climate Africa Initiative, I intend to expand my professional network by interacting and forging strong relationships with experts in the field of climate from the various parts of the world. Especially, I look forward to honing my research, interpersonal, presentation, networking, leadership, analyzation, workplace and other relevant career skills.
1575	Jodick	Ndayisenga	MasterCard Foundation in USIU	https://www.usiu.ac.ke/mastercard-foundation-scholars-program/	I, Jodick Ndayisenga, am currently a student at United International University-Africa in Kenya. However, all the way up to USIU-Africa has not been easy because I had to work hard and spend sleepless nights sometimes. In fact, I was born and raised in the Northern part of Burundi, a rural area mostly characterized by indigenous community. My life was miserable because I was born during moments of catastrophic events such as poverty, health challenges and shortage of food in addition to internal problems that were arising within my family. In fact, my parents divorced when I was four years old. My father thereafter became handicapped before his death a few months ago. I then had to move and live with my mother who is now in her sixties and the only one to farm on the behalf of my siblings. In the area where I was born, people are facing serious problems such as soil degradation and irregularities in seasonal cycle. Thus, making their life hard since their only source of income is farming. In fact, climate change has made it worse for drought and flood alternatives. After realizing that my family is highly facing economic troubles and that they cannot afford to pay for my schooling. I had therefore to do some part-time jobs as a freelancer after class or at night to finance myself for secondary academics. I have worked hard my way up and graduated from high school because I have this strong belief that education would help both me and my community. I did not stop there, I continued thriving because I knew I needed university studies too to be able to help my community overcome those challenges. In brief, if people in my community don’t have access to technology, it is almost impossible to go any further because some fields like education, business and healthcare would have no improvement. I worked so hard so that I can come to Kenya to get a quality education. My inspiration of pursuing a degree in Bachelor of Science in Applied Computer Technology has helped me push forward ever since I was still in high school. I believe that after my graduation from USIU-Africa things will be better because I will be able to help them in some areas such as business and education. For business, I will design web sites and some software applications so that sellers and their customers can talk, advertise and exchange remotely online. Ecommerce will help business progress forward for there will no longer be spatial or time limits as transportation fare will have become less costly. I believe that this will help a lot since they will be able to survive due to business as an immediate action to climate change. This will also help nature and environment rejuvenate as I undoubtedly think that soil fertility is also due to the fact that Burundians don’t have any other alternative and use land every season, cutting trees to get more farming land.	Burundi, my home country, is an East African country whereby climate change has remarkably caused many deaths and displacements in some areas. Warmer temperature has considerably changed weather patterns, resulting in property loss, displacement, poverty and loss of loved ones which I myself am a victim of. After I had moved out from my village due to poverty, I went to the city of Bujumbura which is the economic capital of Burundi to do some jobs to fund my education. My former classmate and I went to Bujumbura and rented a house in the peripheral area of the city which was in the conjunction of the mountains. The night that I will never forget is one of December 21st in 2019 whereby in the middle of the night the overflowing water from up mountains came and washed away everything in the whole district leaving behind nothing even if it means food stock or house equipment. Too many houses collapsed while some others were inundated including schools and hospitals. The worst part of it is that the flooding made the house we were living in collapse onto us and killed my friend whom we were living together with, leaving me with serious injuries. After that, I had to restart again and moved to another part of the city in coastal areas of Lake Tanganyika where another flood occurred again on April 19th of 2020 also wiping out schools, houses, and everyone’s belongings. All these experiences traumatized me and looked like a curse to me. I then realized it was not my place and went back to my natal village as I was failing in the city. I knew it was all linked to climate change which in some ways is a response to how we treat our environment. I also knew that will occur often if people don’t take further measures and preserve nature. Change in weather, soil degradation, water level increase and air pollution are all a result of how we humans interact with our nature. I therefore started planting trees and had planted 1000 trees across my village. All those climate change related life experiences made me think deeply of how we, humans, are playing a major role to our own extinction and that of generations to come if we don’t take immediate actions in response to climate change. After watching some documentaries of how floods are also doing the same in Indonesia, I realized this is a global threat that needs a global network and joined force, thus motivation to apply for the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative. I believe that once I am selected to be an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27, it will open for me great opportunities to discuss with youths from different diversities over what we can do to tackle climate problems. Finally, I also believe that this will be effective because I will get to learn how others are coping with climate change so that I can also cooperate in preserving nature.
1576	Edward	Msiska	Youth Action for Success and Development	N/A	EDWARD MSISKA is a national youth champion in policy communication ,and a Malawi climate young leader and environmentalist. He is passionate about climate change, agriculture and youth leadership. He is a Founder and Director of an innovative youth led organisation known as Youth Action for Success and Development, YASD based in Lilongwe, Malawi. Edward is also an ambassador of Malawi Scotland partnership who happened also to be a two consecutive award winner as an outstanding climate young leader in a project of Malawi Climate Young leaders programme. Edward is one of the Malawi climate leaders who continues to increase climate literacy to young people in the schools and communities to increase their knowledge and also their participation in climate actions. He has been modelling different programmes on both Radio stations and Televisions to reach out to public with climate change messages. With his organisation , he has been promoting waste innovations as a way of creating commercial and entrepreneurial opportunities by turning wastes to wealth . The program apart from being a climate mitigation measure or initiative and making people realise the linkage between waste management and climate change , the initiative has also created job opportunities for youth and women in the communities. He works also on unpacking climate change messages to accommodate everyone especially those in rural settings since most of the terms of climate change are technical in nature . The language barrier on issues of climate change has contributed a lot to low participation of communities in climate actions. As a climate change actionist who understands that climate change crisis are already affecting us and reducing the emissions are no longer enough to stave off the effects, he influences and promote communities to work on climate adaptation practices. This is one of the key climate focus area of Edward as a climate actionist. This is reflected by one of the initiative he is championing of smart agriculture , capacitating the young people in climate justice and climate advocacy , and also influencing the government and other development partners invest in energy sector and infrastructures which can adapt to the changing climate. He is currently coordinating a new established national network called Green Innovators Networks which works on coordinating efforts and innovations which secures an environmental sustainability. Edward Msiska recognises the importance of working with government and community structures, youth networks and organisations to sustain the impacts ,and for easy coordination of interventions	My motivation of becoming an ACMI Forum delegate for COP27 is to represent and amplify the voices of young people in Malawi and Africa as continent. I want to be one of the youth driving climate advocacy at COP27. Youth representation is key in influencing the decisions which directly and indirectly affects children and the youth. As an ACMI youth forum delegate, I want to be weapon of vulnerable groups to represent their voices, as well as the passion and commitment of other local climate leaders which are needed in multilateral negotiations now more than ever to make a difference. Since the youth and future generations are the ones whose livelihoods are and will be most impacted by climate change, as a delegate , I want to make in black and white to influence the global leaders together with my fellow climate leaders to secure the future we hold. As Intergenerational equity is enshrined and cherished in the Paris Agreement – to make the principle a reality, I want to be part of the amazing youth leaders to demonstrate and advocate the first step of influencing and advocating to work with youth as equal partners in the climate negotiations, of which we will start at COP27. Though I have never attended Conference of Parties , but I have been a representative of the youth and an advocate for youth space. I do understand the motive of African Climate Mobility Initiative ,and I believe I can play a constructive role since I have the skills which are needed. I have a good experience in climate actions and interventions. I believe that With new and innovative ideas, passion and expertise, young people around the world are powerful agents of change. They raise awareness, push for more ambitious policy responses and climate action, and hold governments and businesses accountable. Hence to safeguard our future and planet, and to work towards more just and equitable societies, it is thus essential to create space of the young people like to represent the voices of voiceless and drive amazing and sustainable solutions addressing climate change. This is what Climate mobility drives at to ensure that the young people are taking lead of innovative and sustainable solutions of climate change .
1577	Michal	Ezeh	Sirius-X Energy	www.siriusxenergy.com	Michal Ezeh is a fourth-year engineering student at the University of Lagos in Nigeria who is passionate about the energy industry. She is currently the head of research & innovation and communications of Sirius-X; an energy startup she alongside a few friends started. It focuses on tackling climate change using clean energy resources through the production of power with the hybrid power system of solar panels and vertical axis wind turbines. She has experience in overseeing research projects on a wide range of topics which include decarbonization, sustainability, and clean technology. Her research interest led her to participate in national competitions such as the Student Technical Symposium and Exhibition held in Warri and The Africa Regional Student Paper Contest, Undergraduate Division where she presented the following papers: Carbon policies: a means to net-zero carbon emissions and A regulatory framework for carbon reduction in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry respectively. She is currently researching the adaptation and creation of policies for the use of Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage Technology (CCUS) in developing countries; a technology that captures carbondioxide and helps in decarbonizing industries. Furthermore, to accelerate the movement to drive innovations and research in the energy sector, she and her teammates created a research body called CHEM under the tutelage of the Student Energy Fellowship. She is also an active volunteer for SDGs societies in her school and has the privilege of being the topic lead on energy transition and CCUS for the Technical Interest Group (TIG) at the University of Lagos. Through this avenue, she has been able to organize energy seminars and enlighten over 500 students about energy transition and how decarbonization of industries can occur with Carbon Capture and Storage technology (CCUS). In addition, Michal has headed and volunteered with different organizations in her school such as Sustainable Development Advocates, Society of Women Engineers, and The Industry Discourse; where she’s the Director of Media for the energy conference and has been able to partner with different schools in Nigeria, Kenya, and Rwanda. Michal aspires to be a successful engineer as she plans to further her education in energy resources and engineering, to disseminate knowledge globally on energy policy, energy market analysis, and climate change. Alongside her ambition to be a successful engineer, she wants to drive for gender equality, diversity, and inclusion in the energy industry.	Energy is critical to the survival of civilization. One could argue that the rate of useful energy production can be linked to a country's level of development. As a result of industrialization which led to an increase in greenhouse gases emission that causes climate change in which carbondioxide is most prominent, countries and individuals chose to address this issue by developing various strategies to minimize emissions. Coming from Nigeria, I have witnessed the severe impact of climate change. One which is permanently etched in my memory was the death of at least 60 people as a result of heatstroke in 2021, and the effects keeps increasing which eventually leads to forced migration and displacement. Access to clean energy is crucial to mitigate climate change, reduce the death rate, and not only attainment of health but also for unlocking economic potential. Clean energy for all is, therefore, one of the key drivers of inclusive growth and a sustainable world. To combat this crisis using clean energy resources, my friends and I developed Sirius-X; an energy startup that focuses on tackling climate change in Nigeria using clean energy resources through the production of power with the hybrid power system of solar panels and vertical axis wind turbines. My involvement in climate change advocacy under the auspices of the Sustainable Development Advocates has seen me participating in the African Research Universities Alliance and Sustainable Solutions Africa:30u30 Project where I contributed to discussions in creating an adaptive planning process with stakeholders for a proposed research study on Urban Water Pollution in Nigeria and proposing sustainable solutions to enhance the economy. Attending COP27 will give me an in-depth understanding of energy policy analysis as policy framework is one of the many drivers in mitigating climate change. Having this knowledge will help me analyze energy markets in Nigeria and how economic factors affect them. I will be able to develop strategies to promote the usage of renewable energy resources. I hope to interact with global leaders, policymakers, and energy professionals to share ideas and thoughts on various aspects of policymaking which encompass: 1. Outlining strategies that dissect energy efficiency, and the availability of clean energy sources to meet the ever-increasing demand for energy supply. 2. How the presence of a clear regulatory framework affects investors' propensity to fund the research and development of clean energy technologies. 3. The comparative analysis of frameworks from other nations to develop a solid framework for countries to combat energy poverty. Lastly, being in a gathering of fellow climate change enthusiasts who are at the forefront of accelerating energy transition and are at the helm of driving change across the globe is an inspiration that would last a lifetime. I believe I am the right fit for a delegate and I am eager to contribute my thoughts to conversations on global energy concerns and climate change. With the knowledge and skills I would garner from attending COP27, I can't wait to play a more profound role in the global shift to sustainable energy.

She started her change maker journey at the age of 14. As a climate change activist and change maker. She lives by 5 core values, IMPACT-TECHNOLOGY-INNOVATION-SUSTAINABILITY and DEVELOPMENT. She founded an NGO called ITIS 4 Development Global, which translates to her core values. A STEM organization that leverages the use of technology to impact problem solving skills, technical skills, and leadership skills amongst teenagers and youths through, youth empowerment programs, community outreach, technical/ STEM skill acquisition workshops, seminars, competitions fellowship programs and international challenges, in order to foster curiosity in them to build up change makers that advocates for sustainability. With the existence of this not for profit, she’s been able to equip over 500 teens and youths with problem solving and leadership skills. Her goal is to make a huge impact on teens and youths using STEM approaches to bring out the problem solving skills in them, and to solve pressing problems in the communities and SDGs. This earned her a Technovation Change maker award as the top 3 finalists for running a not for profit that has helped addressed climate change. She is also the co-founder of Parkers Mobile Clinic, a movable clinic initiative that provides community-based healthcare services, and has been able to impact the lives of over 15,000 people in rural areas. Maryam began public speaking in 2017 as a speaker at the Technovation girls challenge. Today, she speaks around the world to young girls and youths, including at the 2021 Technovation fundraiser event, and the Ayada lab closing ceremony by institute Francis’s, and the 2020 Micronutrient forum. She was also invited to speak at a focus group event on climate change hosted by the UNESCO 2022. As a way to give back, Maryam mentors young change makers through the organizations she co founded, and also have volunteered with odyssey educational foundation, Seedbuilders innovation hub, women in technology in Nigeria(WITIN). Maryam is a Social Innovation warehouse fellow(SIW), Represented Nigeria as the only female for the first OIC robotics challenge in Uzbekistan 2019, She was one amongst the four finalists for the Micronutrient Forum by Sight and Life 2020, Bayer Foundation Women Empowerment award semi finalist 2022, South African ideas festival finalists 2021, Social shifters global innovator award certificate, Society of Women engineers $1000 stipend awardee to attend SHLA 2019 in the United States Of America, Technovation student Ambassador 2020, Women in Africa (WIA) Finalist. Technovation Alunmae Change Maker Award Top 3 Finalist. Jamil femmes fellow. My greatest achievement is that I’m a LEADER.	I come from a rural community where the adverse effect of climate change is experienced, through flooding in rainy season, and high ultraviolet radiation from the sun in dry seasons. This has lead to loss of lives, cases of ailment, with no one to tackle the issue. Heat is considered the largest climate change threats, followed by heavy flooding and drought in rural areas of Nigeria. According to a survey conducted, over 30% of people and businesses in my community are affected by flooding, 70% are affected by sharp increases in extreme heat. Majority of rural residents live without access to air conditioning or electricity, and changes to precipitation threatens us largely. Unfortunately, among the affected people, women are impacted the most, from poor access to education to gender based violence. According to an article published by United Nations Development Project, “surprisingly, our research found that the impact of climate change also exacerbates the risk of violence against women. In periods of prolonged drought, women and girls make more frequent and longer journeys to obtain food or water, which makes them vulnerable to sexual assault”. Coming from a rural community and a family from the north, I’ve seen how many girls have been impacted by climate change, and it has affected me personally which has lead to me moving out of my neighborhood. I believe women will play a critical role at the COP27 conference, and I believe I’m one of those women. With my goal to achieve a zero carbon emitting society and to connect youths emotionally to their environment, I have been able to use the available resources to create awareness, of the problem, among youths and teenagers. I have also planted carbon sink trees in rural communities, worked with a community to create a mobile application to help users measure their carbon footprint, and also produced clean cook stoves for women in rural communities who normally use firewood to cook. Regardless of my limiting environment, I have been able to work in partnership with Odyssey Educational Foundation, Seedbuilders Innovation Hub, and NFGeneration to carry out this project. The progress of my activities was recognized and given a honorable mention by Technovation Global as the top three finalists for the Technovation Change Maker Award, it was also recognized on the Malala Fund Article. attending the COP27 conference as a delegate would be my first time attending a COP, and an opportunity for me to network and brainstorm on innovative solutions to address climate change and its effect with the professional bodies that would be present at the conference. Finally, it would be of advantage to partner with other members of this cohort to achieve the SDG 13 ‘climate action’, share my experience, access the professional community at COP27 to enable me to achieve my next milestones. I want to be the hope for those that have been unfortunately impacted by climate change, and I also want to teach them to join the global force to tackling this issue.
1581	Jodie	Zuzi	AFRICONS		I am Jodie ZUZI. I am 26 years old. I have a degree in Environmental Sciences since 2020 with the Environmental Engineering option. I have been working as a Junior consultant at the design office named AFRICONS (African Consulting Services) since 2021 with the World Bank's Kin Elenda project. AFRICONS operates in environmental assessments. Concerned about climate change and the impacts of anthropogenic activities on our environment, my interest in the environment has been aroused since school. This is how I embarked on environmental sciences to deepen the ways and means of preserving our environment.	Being in the field of the Environment, it is legitimate for me to want to occupy the first plans to defend positions on climate change. During the five years of our journey to the Environmental Science Student Club, we had to campaign within our university on the consideration of the environment in our habits and the need to change them for the sustainability of the planet. This would go through our consumption habits, our means of locomotion, the sources of energy we consume and all the other areas that contribute to climate change. In high school, I was among the students who distributed the news of LE GARDIEN VERT-BLEU who campaigned for the consideration of the environment and climate. I had to make my voice heard at school and at university level. It is time to make it heard at the international level and it is from this forum that I want to make the voice of young people heard when it comes to climate change.

We lost our mother when we were very tender. I'm a graduate of Human Anatomy university of Calabar, Cross River State Nigeria. Currently pursuing my M.Sc program with national Open University of Nigeria, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.	I'm always curious in understanding the climate change that occur in my village and locality, this climate change relates to so many physical features that most times is beyond my understanding especially when I was growing up from the village. Getting into the university to further investigate this occurrence gives me inner Joy, that I can enlightened the coming generation about African climate change and how we can contribute to make our climate more favourable. Coming across this opportunity as a delegate, it will be a platform were I can meet people with like minds. Giving us the opportunity to interact, study and understand in a broader view the continents climate change.

She is an entrepreneur and started her business at the age of 20. She is a true example of an individual handed a tough hand by fate but shaking off the shackles to become a lead mentor at Amani Kibera Community Center and a music teacher all which she does as a volunteer. Having recovered from a brain tumor in 2013 after more than 2 years, she has found peace in her faith in God and music. She is passionate about her community, the sick and is the focal person for generation equality in Kenya. At the age of 19, Marline was part of the delegate that represented Kenyan GYW at the AU in Addis Ababa Beijing +25 review, sitting both in the panel for meaningful inclusion of GYW in decision making. She is the first young woman to have been documented singing both the East African anthem and the AU anthem both of which she takes to heart. Most recently, Marline mobilized 10 GYW and 1 young man for the Nobel Explorers https://nobelexplorers.com/ an opportunity which exists for many but vulnerable groups hardly access. Marline is a leader by service and has shown this in her daily life, from cradling children of teenage moms so that they can be part of mentorship to mobilizing Polycom staff an organization she volunteers with as well to intervene even financially for situations that need such and even attending the nobel classes to know first hand it will accommodate her mentees. She is a Trainer to both mentors and mentees.	Being and raised in Kibera,I'm an expert to my own reality. Careless pad disposal is just one of the many problems we have to deal with as residents. By virtue of this I did research and started a movement with the help of 'Rafiki Project' to donate menstrual cups as well as teach girls about this menstrual solution that would require zero disposal. A menstrual cup feeds into climate justice advocacy since one only discards blood unlike the pad which after disposal takes 500-800 years to decompose as the plastic used is non-biodegradable and can lead to health and environmental hazards. Considering 36 per cent of the menstruating females use sanitary napkins, their environmental footprint is high according to Menstrual Health Alliance India. Also not forgetting the mineral/fossil fuel deplection caused by its production. This to our environment is harmful one because our soil is damaged meaning crops can't survive hence little food to sustain us. Our air is also polluted during the pad production which may cause attraction of diseases and also the ozone layer getting more detororiated with the years of production. Whats my stand on this... I want an Africa where humanity is liberated,happy and living with no fear. An Africa where humanity savor climate justice and not what the old pollution demands menstrual cup advocacy is one of the initiatives towards Climate justice.

1585	Nouran	Abdalla	Suez canal University		My name is Nouran Mohamed, I am from Ismailia, Egypt, and I am a senior pharmacy student at Suez Canal University. I was born in June 1999. I have participated in a student exchange program in Romania this year as a part of a training program provided by the international pharmacy students federation (IPSF). I am also the student's representer in my class for the second year in a row in my faculty. I have also participated in the youth follow-up committee in the latest parliament elections. The main characteristics of my personality that I may highlight in this biography are the determination and friendly environment I usually create around me, I have been a trainee in several pharmacies and also worked for several community pharmacies as a co-pharmacist, which helped me in being more open for volunteering and engaging with a group.	I live in Ismailia, which is a beautiful and calm city in Egypt despite the previous fact, now we have a climate limitation due to global warming and an increased number of vehicles and factories releasing air pollution. We have been affected by this for years and according to the best, I can recall from my childhood memories our weather was less hot and less humid as well. I am participating in the forum for the fact that it gathers all countries and the best professionals to figure out applicable solutions to face climate change and control the upcoming years from getting more humid. I think that the main problem in climate change is the humidity percentage change because it can cause animal mortality and in the worst cases crop wasting. I am determined to fulfill the best figure to represent my country and community and also to reinforce my community with the information and solutions I get from the forum. As a youth and a female that widely participates in the community either as a volunteer or as a pharmacist, I rather describe this opportunity as a complimentary to my list of experiences and skills. I have been also interested in participating in this Forum to be a part of a huge event that will gather the world in our land.
1586	Tarah Marquise	Inema	UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network- Youth	https://www.sdsnyouth.org/	My name is Tarah Inema, I am from Rwanda, I am an SDG Advocate my extensive understanding of Climate change and sensitivity specifically the importance of water treatment and preservation of our resources is due to my personal experience and exposure. I was born in Kigali, Rwanda where I was fortunate enough to be in the areas with sufficient and good quality water. I spent most of my adult years brainstorming on ways sustainable engineering design could improve the livelihoods of many Africans and by understanding how poorly designed or implemented adaptation projects can make climate change worse. This led me to choose a career in biological engineering with a special interest in green infrastructure, wastewater treatment and management. My work with the SDSN youth network also allowed me to expand my knowledge on the SDGs and to understand the importance and vital need for the agenda 2030. Mostly, the interconnectivity of global issues and understanding how each SDG goal relates to global development. Recently, I have been a part of The Green Protector Volunteers in Kigali, Rwanda, which is a youth NGO that focuses on raising climate awareness among the youth and promoting youth-led climate solutions. We recently organized The third Global Goals Jam festival centered around the SDGS: 11, 12 and 13 where many young climate activists worked on a two-day design workshop to solve different Climate challenges in Rwanda.	Growing up in Africa specifically in Kigali, Rwanda, I have always wanted to be an advocate for my continent. Throughout my education years in the United States, I was exposed to so much knowledge and technological innovation and with every new insight came questions, why was Africa in a sense left behind? As we become more aware of the impact of climate change on the most vulnerable, what we’re doing about holding to get ahead and prevent this. As an Engineering student, I would be working on many water treatment or climate related project and realizing how beneficial many of these would be to certain areas in Kigali, Rwanda where some members of the community were still struggling with water access or poor water catchment strategies that would in turn result to floods and other climate related disasters. The African youth in the last few decades has done so much in terms of advocacy and calling for change and development but more than that encouraging inclusive and sustainable development. Now is the time where we need to prioritize the needs of our continent, to design sustainable solutions that ensure our wellbeing is being placed at the center. From the most minute decision such as Climate data collection to the implementation of policy and design of sustainable climate solutions we need our voices heard and included. My background is Environmental Engineering and exposure to the gaps within both the developing and developed world will help me bring a valuable contribution as an African Youth delegate during COP27, my dedication to being apart of the delegation that brings about these solutions and demands action as well. I believe there’s many of us that are qualified for this but I would rise above and beyond to ensure I can create an impact alongside many other able youth African delegates if considered. Sincerely,

Ifon is a young scientist interested in sustainable aquaculture and maraiculture, aquatic ecology and coastal science, fisheries economics and extension, and the impact of climate change on marine life and ecosystem services. He has attended several local and international conferences on aquaculture, mariculture, oceanography, and physical sciences, and was an invited speaker during the August 2022 international forum on animal science and veterinary medicine in Berlin City, Germany, where he participated online and presented a paper on "Microgeographical disparity in shell morphology of the tidal river periwinkle Pachymelania fusca (Gastropoda, Sorbeoconcha, Hemisinidae)". He participated in the 2022 Coastal Ocean Environmental Summer School at the University of Lagos, Nigeria as a virtual participant and presented a lightning talk on "ecosystem-based management of marine fisheries resources using trophic modeling." Ifon has published more than ten articles in reputable peer-reviewed journals. He is currently using trophic modeling software such as Ecopath with Ecosim to model marine fishing resources in the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Guinea Large Marine Ecosystem, and associated estuaries. Recently, he has observed the decline in fish stocks in the Cross River estuary and has blamed this on climate change.	Climate change has become a global phenomenon and research on its impact on fisheries has intensified in recent years, with many reports conveying low fish catch rates as global temperature increases. In Cross River State, experts have reported overexploitation of commercially important fish species and advised the government and relevant stakeholders to establish a marine-protected area within the river system, or at least set up a closed season during the peak of spawning to ensure the recovery of its fisheries. Also, fishers have been encouraged to practice fish farming as an alternative source of livelihood to ensure a profitable fishing practice for food sustainability. Despite this warning, virtually nothing has been done to curb this situation. Today, there is fish scarcity, as evidenced by the poor catch of artisanal fishing in the state. Moreover, one can hardly see caught wild fish in the market to buy, probably due to the uncurbed warning previously signaled by experts. Since then, this incidence has continued to stir worries among fishermen and fish consumers about the possible cause of the misfortune. Most people blame the scarce fish on climate change. It is assumed that climate change can cause the mobility or displacement of fishes from their resident habitats to favourable places due to a rise in sea level temperature, especially for species that cannot tolerate a wide range of temperature. Also, as fishes are mobile and are capable of displacement, so are those people most dependent on them for livelihood support. Some of our fishermen have abandoned their fishing trade and have moved on to other businesses which could take them out of Cross River State. So, when I saw the advert for the Climate Mobility Summit, I was indeed excited and motivated at the same time, knowing that I could harness this opportunity to share my story with the world and to adopt the concept of climate mobility to explain the phenomenon of fish and fishers’ displacement in the face of climate change. The climate mobility summit could be a forum to provide solutions or at least suggestions on mitigation practices that could be put in place to curb the present fish scarcity. Lessons I would learn from the summit could improve my knowledge of how climate change could cause climate mobility.

1590	JONATHAN	MWESIGE	Makerere university	https://www.mak.ac.ug/	My name is Mwesige Jonathan. Am aged 24 years, born in 1998 at Kabarole, Uganda. I grew up from a humble background which framed my life into a determined, eager to learn and educative person. I completed my ordinary level in 2015 and Advanced level in 2017 at Kibiito Secondary school. My determination earned me a sponsorship to study at Makerere university where I graduated as a passionate teacher in May 2022. Am currently a Masters student and research assistant at Makerere university under the mentorship of Dr. Charlotte Mafumbo Karungi, Head of History department Makerere university and Director of SIT (School for International Training) Uganda.	The desire for knowledge has made me apply to become one of the deligates in Africa Climate mobility Initiative. Due to the long awaited strategy I have been working upon after realizing that the environment had been affected negativity, I realized joining the Summit in Egypt would be of great advantage. In Uganda for a long history, environment had been affected by both social and economic factors. The government has done almost nothing to protect the environment due to high population, desire for settlement and other related issues like government negligence. So as an environmental activist, I will use this opportunity to save my country uganda and after finishing this study, I assure you that I will project strategies which I will have adapted from this study in Egypt and advise my home government on how to protect the environment in Uganda. I will be very pleased if my humble application is considered.

Also, leadership programs such as One Young World, YOUNGA Youth Delegate, YALI have also allowed him to stand out as an enlightened leader of his generation. He was selected for Camp 2030 and has been identified as one of Top 1% of changemakers from accross the world who is taking action for Global Goals by UNITE 2030. Sylvain was invited to join World Economic Forum New Champion community; selected for the African Civic Engagement Academy 2022 by the University of Georgia and finally has invited to join IEREK Scholars community as well as guest to the 2nd Edition of the International Conference on Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability (CCES).

Finally, Sylvain has professional experiences with international organisations.	Applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 will allow me to be heard and defend the hopes of thousands of young Africans at COP27, one of the few places where great resolutions for the future of humanity are taken and with young people directly involved in the process but whose young Africans are often sadly still marginalized from decisive discussions. Having participated in the Youth4Climate: DrivingAmbition and PreCOP26, Stockholm+50 Youth Task Force, World Bank Youth Summit 2022 online, I was able to highlight the difficulties encountered by a few rare young delegates who participate in these international events. Their voices are not heard, their proposals are not taken into account, their ideas are rejected by young delegates from the countries of the North, who are unaware of the realities and contexts specific to Africa. Added to this is the language barrier, which often reduces young French-speakers to silence. I have so many things to say and put on the table to put African youth back at the center of the negotiations to rebalance the debates. I see in this initiative of ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 a decisive opportunity that motivates me to the highest degree. Because there is no planet B, solving climate challenges to forcefully nudge the world in a safer, more sustainable and more inclusive direction will not happen by accident. This will only happen if the world's decision-makers, businesses, governments and high-level young people work together to bring their perspectives, lived experiences, stories and shared ambitions, not as from the South or the North but just as Citizens of the world. Furthermore, I consider the space that this opportunity will offer me to be a bottomless pit of opportunities, encounters and sharing. I will have the opportunity to share my work that I am doing with my organization International Student Environmental Coalition - Chad, with whom I work to address Chad's pressing challenges in climate justice and the promotion of environmental protection environment with a view to strengthening the efforts of government by capitalizing on environmental education and awareness in order to be able to accelerate climate action in Chad, whose ambitious future projects are as follows: - the composition and performance of an anthem dedicated to the environment to be disseminated in schools - leadership project in schools via the student Eco-delegates and green clubs program - ecological transition in schools through the manufacture of gardens, benches and ecological garbage bins - launch of the Summer Academy on Climate Change and Sustainable Development for student training - Music4ClimateJustice project via concerts for charity evenings for raising funds to plant trees, support school ecological projects, develop classrooms and train climate migrant students - training young refugees and returnees on environmental protection and market gardening. Experiences that could be inspiring for other sister organizations. I could build relationships with like-minded outstanding delegates who can be important networking tools that will help me advance my work as a Changemaker.

As the development cooperation actors have been addressing climate change as a cross-cutting issue and investing in climate adaptation projects since the early 2000s. More recently, as concern has risen about the potential impacts of climate variability and change on human mobility, development cooperation actors have begun to design projects that intentionally address the drivers of migration, including climate impacts on livelihoods which end up motivating me. Some of the countries are vulnerable to natural disasters like floods and cyclones, so they need to have some machines and devices that can help to give the community warnings and to protect human lives from danger.
1596	Halima	Ahmad Abubakar			I was born in Jos Plateau State Nigeria, in 2002, I stated my primary school education at Assabur Private school after that I enrolled in Assabur Private Secondary school Jos I finished 2017 I started my activism and climate change awareness in 2019 due to the community where I'm living because there was a lack of sanitation that thing created a lot of flooding during rainy season and I succeeded at least I reached out to 100 houses with my sensitization and awareness to that with the help of my parents and siblings. And up till now I'm into tjat advocacies now I want to reach to my neighboring communities. This is a little bit about my biography.	My motivation to apply for that when I started people were saying I don't have knowledge, capacity and ability to do that as a woman due to the society norms. That us why I am applying this because I need more training as an climate advocate.
1597	Josephine	Ndanemah	Mckingtorch Africa	https://mckingtorchafrica.org/	I am Josephine Ndanemah a final year psychology student of the University of Ghana, passion driven, self-motivated and action oriented climate change advocate. I believe so much in the power of taking small everyday steps in my community to make mighty impacts in the fight against the crippling impacts of climate change on people and livelihoods. I currently volunteer in the Administration working group of the Local Conference of Youth (LCOY) Ghana in preparation of building a national youth statement for COY 17 to fit in the global youth statement on climate action. Alongside this role, I serve as a volunteer member of several climate change initiatives for organisations such as Mckingtorch Africa which is a multiple award winning enthusiastic climate action NGO that brings people together to engage in several ways of climate mitigation such as plastic recycling, planting of home made flower garden using recycled dispenser bottles, training children in schools as well as adults in offices practical recycling projects to help them inculcate the habit of recycling and reducing environmental pollution. Similarly i volunteer with another youth led organisation where I am currently volunteering as the social media support staff volunteer. I help with climate literacy and advocacy campaigns by writing on climate stories, moderating the future climate dialogue sessions we do weekly, and creating video contents on our field projects and climate stories. Recently on the international day of youth i was invited to patner with Youth Alliance for Green Ghana, a well notable climate change group, as a result of their recognition and following up my social engagements in the climate space they asked that i help them moderate a session on the theme: Intergenerational sloidarity, which went well and was quite an educative session that allowed many people to stream live on facebook and zoom. In view of these and many other engagements I have used my example to invite more people to take action and engage in climate action efforts in their communities and so far these has given me opportunities to represent my organisations in globally recognised award ceremonies on behalf of our organisation where we received certificates of nominations in the category of Best volunteer group of the year and best social enterpreneur of the year. Due to my active participation and service my boss appointed me to take the lead on this event. Currently alongside other team of volunteers at Mckingtorch Africa we are preparing for an upcoming 5 day climate week campaign in patnership with the national climate Council and other climate youth agencies in Ghana. This will give us the opportunity to engage in street procession campaigns, poem recital competition, exhibition of some of our recycled products we create and several other engaging activities. These and many more are the little ways I have been commiting myself to the fight against climate change to help create impact and set meaningful examples for many other youth. And so far it has been a fun and beautiful part of my volunteering experience as a college student for the past 3 years now even thou its quite exhausting and challenging sometimes.	As a youth and a women and girls advocate I see great future impacts climate change may has on us especially women and children in deprived communities. As such I am highly motivated to attend such a global community of people in this year's COP 27 for the first time. I heard about it some few years ago, and reading on some of the positive impacts COP creates with participating nations and actions taken there, i believe it will be a good space to let my voice be heard and share my inputs towards achieving the sustainable dream of climate action globally even in my own small way. Growing up in my home town Bo, Sierra Loeone, I have witnessed severe disruptions of climate change on food systems, health and schooling during my school days and even uptill now in the area I live in Ghana with respect to global flooding, thunder storms, heat waves and plastic pollution and many others. Since my childhood, almost every year I see how flooding affects our access to schools causing mudslides, collapse of hosing and even children drowning in these floods when their parents were away from home in quest of finding food for the family. Personally at age 15 I was a victim of severe flooding in 2010 during the weekend ahead of writing my B.E.C.E exams a national exam for junior high schools, our major bridge collapsed 3 days to my exam and all through that weekend there was no way for any one to cross or go to school or work or hospital and the river was deep and flowing with high speed for any to risk it. I was so scared, I cried all day and was so worried that I thought I was going to miss my exam that year but fortunately for me a day to the exam a bypass route was created some where else that gave us access to town where I had to perch with an aunty for the period to write my exams to avoid returning home and missing out on my exams. Almost every rainy season this and many other problems are what emerge leading to several forms of displacement, conflict and economic hardships. Likewise menstrual hygiene and period poverty has been greatly affected as a result of the rise in financial hardships climate change causes to loss of jobs and displacement of homes. Many women and girls in such communities cannot afford buying menstrual products due to High taxes as well as in being refugees and loose their sense of community leading to distress, anxiety and depression and fear of what's next. With little or no sufficient financial support most of these young people become frustrated and some even take in to violent demonstration when things such as food and basic living conditions become expensive and difficult to manage. As a result of all these environmental and human psychological factors involved, I have been very passionate about volunteering with several organisations and small groups in my community and social media handles to help take action and educate more people on the role of each one of us has to play in combating climate change and live healthy, sustainable inclusive lifestyle without creating continous disturbances for others through poor climate choices such as excess use of fossil fuels, improper plastic and refuse disposal and ridiculing the facts and warnings of the IPCC on the urgency and need to make haste in achieving the net zero target and keeping our global temperatures not above 1.5°C which is a critical threshold that the earth cannot pass without facing serious impacts of climate change.

I am exciting to apply, attend and become the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Delegate at COP27. This program is a solid step towards my current and future goals and targets. I am applying to this opportunity to gain and share valuable sharing experiences, knowledge and skills, and to develop my vision for pastoralism in the face of climate change. This program will also be a space to talk about challenges and opportunities of pastoralism among youth in east Africa and to address common climate changes.

I work with the Ghana health service as a senior nursing officer at Ga west municipal hospital-Amasaman in the Greater-Accra Region. I am the managing editor for AHRO review of nursing and midwifery and course promoter for AHRO university nursing programme. Moreover, I am chair committee member for global alliance for newborn care. Furthermore, I am the research lead for Africa forum for primary healthcare(AfroPHC) Organisation and member of executive coordinating team of AfroPHC. In 2020, I was awarded a fellowship by the Network: TUFH and in 2022, and I was again awarded a scholarship to study PGDip. Global health by Liverpool school of tropical medicine. I had more than 12 peer reviewed articles and two published books. My research interest lies in maternal, neonatal, child, adolescent, reproductive, youth and young health. I am a member of both local, regional and international professional association.	As a young and enthusiastic nurse who is always passionate about youth activities and dialogue between youth and the elders, I always dream to get the opportunity to get my opinions heard. This conference now is the time for me to get my opinions concerning climate and health to be heard. Globally, the world health Organisation through its various regional bodies and series of activities is championing planetary health currently. Planetary health is now considered in the current strategic for nurses and midwives by the international council of nurses and international federation of midwives. Thus, this is an important issue which need to be addressed by various interdisciplinary team including nurses and midwives. As the environment is also a vital component of the social determinant of health and influence the health of the individual in the community, the nurse has a role to play by assessing, planning, and evaluating the health outcomes of the environment to ensure good quality and equitable care is rendered to the community. Moreover, it is also the responsibility of a young nurse as I am to ensure that that environment is safe (free from pollution and other harmful substance) to reduce the burden of diseases both for the government and the society through health promotion activities. Rendering the environment safe also reduce public spending on healthcare and improves productivity. With all these said, I wish to be considered as one of the youth delegates to this conference to share and learn from my nursing perspectives. Thank you.

He is working as a assistant of research in department of epidemiology and clinic research in research center and trining in infectious diseases of Guinea (CERFIG IN FRENCH). Mohamed is therefore working in social activities with a several NGOs in voluntary way, likeGlobal Peace Chain and SDGsteachers. He has begun to work as a volunteer there is more than 5years ago,beginning in university with a scientific research theme, climate change and good health for all in 2015. He has been delegate at millennium campus Conference (MCC17) in Morroco where he has learned more about SGDs and the struggles against poverty in Africa in 2017. Then, this opportunity allows him to create a NGO “Youth for sustainable development “ with others colleagues to share his knowledges and meetings experiences to others students to make some positive mind to participate in the SDGs processus achievement He is also is a APLP batch 2 Alumni with National Training Academic (NTA) in Egypt. Mohamed is a scientific speaker by the work that he did in COVID-19 context in professional health workers. This work Allow him to made a communication while the first public health day in Guinea and to speak about behavioural and psychological impact of Covid19 on youth in world youth Forum. I am a climate change and equality health advocate as my currently work about impact of climate changes on infectious and tropical diseases specifically about vectors diseases like malaria, asthma, dengue virus, yellow fever virus, Zika virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, chikungunya virus and West Nile virus. Arboviruses. In this way Mohamed is working with policymakers to include climate change in our health policy and epidemiological surveillance. Mohamed is working like a advisor with youth and communities people to share which them the impact our behaviours in environment and how our health is affected with the concept One planet one health. Beside that the currently work of Mohamed is about a project on diseases vectors and the way to develop a resilience against malaria and others tropical diseases in Guinea at the Research center.	According to the WHO report which states that climate change influences the social and environmental determinants of health: clean air, drinking water, sufficient food, housing security. this report also shows that between 2030 and 2050, climate change is expected to lead to almost 250,000 additional deaths per year, due to malnutrition, malaria, diarrhea and heat stress. The cost of direct damage to health (excluding costs in health-determining sectors such as agriculture and water and sanitation) is estimated to be between $2 billion and $4 billion (US $) per year by 2030. Areas without good health infrastructure, mostly in developing countries where I come from, will be the least able to prepare and cope without assistance. Being informed about solutions such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and expanding the choice of transport, food and energy, can significantly lead to improved health. given this reality that will have to be faced, I aspire to be a participant in the conference of the parties as a whistleblower in my capacity as a health professional and public health researcher who is currently working on the environmental determinants which, considerably have an influence on the vectors of diseases with epidemic and even infectious potential in tropical environments. Personally, seeing health and climate change taken as a priority in its own right at COP 27 is a sufficient motivation that drives me to participate in this meeting in order to be able to share, exchange and possibly benefit from the experiences of scientific leaders and decision-maker in terms of global research as the one planet one health concept would like.

My family of Mr. and Mrs. temu was lucky to have three children one girl and two boys, I am the second child out of three children. I like to read various informative and exciting books so that when I read I am interested in it. I am also a singer in the church choir, I like beauty, I am funny, kind to people, I like to travel abroad to meet new people and learn about their culture, I like to visit parks of animals, I love to watch good movies that are more informative, I fear God and I am not married. I am a librarian by professional through the library it has helped me understand various things, e.g. to know the importance of reading books to get the knowledge hidden in books, also in the issue of digitizing books in a digital way (digital library). As a librarian have been able to help my community around me to understand the importance of reading books and also how the various opportunities are available to someone who reads books, e.g. education about business, financial management and many more.	The thing that pushed me to apply in this opportunity is the need to understand more how we as young Africans can solve this situation so that we get rid of the environmental challenges that have a big impact on our communities and lead to the environment becoming dangerous for man to live for his activities everyday. The second thing that pushed me to apply is, the environment situation of my country Tanzania, is still a challenge, for example; people living in the mountains or parts of the desertified areas, the rivers are drying up leading to a shortage of water due to human activities, so I believe that through the education provided by ACMI Youth Forum it will be able to help us young people to be at the forefront of solving challenges for future generations.

After graduation, I became enrolled to have a Premaster degree in Hydrology and Environmental sciences and I have just finished it before a short time ago. Nowadays, I am preparing for my master thesis in the same field of study. Coming to the practical part, I am used to being a researcher in "Material technologies and their application lab" at my faculty since I was in the second year of the university. I also attended several workshops concerned with Water with the Centre of Excellece for Water in the American University in Cairo, and also was one of the participants in the WEF nexus winter school from the same organizations. Moreover, I got trained as a chemist and quality control engineer in the drinking water and sanitation company in Beni Suef for 3 months.	As a master student in Hydrology and Environmental sciences, the whole that concerns to water or the environment will be in my scope. Therefore, taking part in such a great global conference will help my wide my sight and meet professional and specialists in all sciences related to the climate changes which is the major dilemma that drew the whole world's attention. I am used to being a researcher in "Material technologies and their application lab" at my faculty since I was in the second year of the university and my main target was water treatment technologies. I also attended several workshops concerned with Water with the Centre of Excellece for Water in the American University in Cairo, and also was one of the participants in the WEF nexus winter school from the same organizations. Moreover, I got trained as a chemist and quality control engineer in the drinking water and sanitation company in Beni Suef for 3 months.

1616	Amr	Mahmoud	"Be an Ambassador" Initiative	http://nigsd.gov.eg/	I am Amr Hegab, Fresh graduate Energy and Renewable Energy Engineer from the Faculty of Engineering, Ain-Shams University with grade of Excellent with Honor Declaration and I just graduated from cohort 2 of "Be an Ambassador" Initiative launched by the NIGSD the training arm of Ministry of Planning and Economic Development. Within my period in the collage, I passed through a large experience either technical or non-technical. In technical prospective, I attended training in multinational leading companies such as: Siemens, ABB, Schneider Electric and Total Eren. On the other side, I was always having a role in non-profit organizations as student activities as I was the Public Relations and Digital Marketing Head for 1 year then I was selected to continue in the Marketing Director position for another 1 year in IDT-Egypt (Industry Development Team). My 3 years in IDT added values to me as I was skilled in every detail in working experience (Logistics and supply chain, problem solving, customer satisfaction and needs, Hosting, presenting, public speaking, Human resources, Team building) and others. In addition to my role in scouts gaining experience in camping and organizing workshops. I was in the organizing team of ASU Employment Fair 2022 in Ain-Shams University Campus where thousands of attendees were there and of course we had adapted to problems occurring through the event to make it as successful as possible as we are representing our university. I was a USAID scholar, and I was chosen many times to represent my university, program and the scholarship in sessions, webinars and events referring to my experience and passion to add the values I learned to others.	My passion in sustainable development and climate change actions started during my studying period when we gone deeper in a course with SDGs and situations, we are facing due to climate change in and the needed adaptation, mitigation, and resilience techniques. I have learned the theory, causes and results of climate change, the process that led to annual COP in earth summit 1992. The start of the problem in 1830 when the industrial revolution become more attractive to investment and world gone towards machines (Which uses coal as fuel). Then, no one was concerning about environmental health of the world it was only about economy. Now, all of us are responsible to have a share in healing process to our plant. Me as Renewable Energy Engineer who is dreaming with green world based on renewables in the base load. Which also should be known that even if we are committed to required actions, the optimistic studies shows that the rate of increasing will decrease (It’s an irreversible process) so no-way except being positive as it’s no more an option. Furthermore, Fresh water will down to 40% shortage by 2030 as the climate change affects global water cycle. Moreover, around 92% of population are living in areas fail to meet air quality guidelines determined by the world health organization (WHO). And total population is expected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050 which requiring increased demand, resources usage, transportation more energy consumption for them. Finally, My next step after graduation is to obtain my master’s degree and I am planning to make it linking between the climate and green fuels of energy. I need this chance to be one of the ACMI Youth Forum delegates for COP27 to use my experience in publishing awareness and take the next step of implementation. I am waiting for COP27 and will never miss a chance to be part of it to represent my country and show the world Egypt’s ability in organizing, planning, opening discussions and scientific research.

1618	Flawa	Malle	Tanzania Youth Biodiversity Network	http://www.tzbio.org	Am flawa Henry Malle . I was born on 5 august 2001, at Mwika Moshi Kilimanjaro. Currently am enrolled as a second year student at the University of Dodoma, am also leaving at Dodoma. Being a lastborn has been a blessing not only in my life but also to my parents and the whole community. Having a loving and caring family has helped me a lot especially in analyzing my purpose on earth and knowing who I am. In my school life I learnt a lot concerning the environment and I noticed that environmental conservation was my interest and I started working on it. I joined the Roots and Shoots club and I contributed a lot to the environment, animals and human activities and the club really helped me build my capacity. Am a green world addict and participating in environmental activities and volunteering has always been my interest. I have managed to participate in different environmental activities including raising awareness on the impacts of climate change in my community, I have participated in planting trees in areas that trees have been cut down, advocate of plastic free lifestyle and all I want to archive is having a stable climate. I also work with different youth associations in my country example Tanzania Youth Biodiversity Network and Kilimanjaro Environmental preservation, with our goals of mainly raising environmental awareness and the importance of environmental conservation. I was also called on a radio interview and I was given a chance to educate the society on the importance cleaning up the environment and I was so happy since the message reached a large number of people and it has been one of my achievements.	From Africa 70% of the population includes the youths and they have not been adequately addressing the African problems due to different gaps. I am among the youths ready to address different problems that face my society. Am expecting to gain something different from COP27 that would expand my awareness on climate change and its impacts. This will give me more skills on fighting climate changes and this will increase my desire on enhancing environmental preservation and restoring of damaged areas; educating my society on the effects of climate change and the measures we as a society can take to prevent the loss that is now severe and the impacts are now affecting us. Previously, our community had a vast green land, but local community member decided to burn all the areas to destroy certain insects that were affecting animals. Since then, no one has taken the initiative to recover the green land that was lost by this human activity. The understanding I will acquire from the meeting will be of great investment to me because I want to fully transform my community through carmines and workshop trainings that will advocate form green land, Am also a volunteer ready to save the earth, advocate of plastic free, promoter of trees planting in all areas especially urban areas where pollutions of all kinds are severe and maximum, and I am ready and already engaged in biodiversity protection platforms. I’ll organize more activities that will reach the local communities and indigenous people and am ready to educate the society on climate change, how its happening and its impacts and what we can do in order to counteract the impacts of climate changes. As a youth I participate in raising awareness on global disasters, nature loss and how to prevent future catastrophe and irreversible damage also creating understanding on how to depend on nature. My ambitions include acquiring a stable climate since our climate is in a crisis. Temperature increase since the pre- industrial times indicates that most of the ecosystem will struggle at 2◦C warming 60% overall decline in vertebrate population sizes. We need to act urgently since African nature is declining. Since I am a youth I have got innovative ideas to address nature loss and influence decision making today that take into account priorities for young people which will help to reduce poverty rate in Africa and I will be very happy to receive a positive response of getting a chance to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27.
1619	Emmanuel	Samwel	Banana Fibre Seedbag	https://www.bananafibres.rw/	Emmanuel is an author, musician, and co-founder and chief programs lead at Banana Fibre Seedbag, a company that provides farmers in Rwanda with eco-friendly seed containers for their agricultural products. As part of his duties, Emmanuel organized and designed programs that magnify environmental conservation in Rwanda's agricultural spaces. His utilization of his writings and music as a voice to advocate for conservation has encouraged many young individuals to assume active roles in the shared fight against climate change. Emmanuel sits as a founder of Dream Rwanda, a tourism company committed to helping tourists coming to Rwanda match their adventurous dreams with their budgets by linking them to the best tourist destinations to be at while in Rwanda. Previously, Emmanuel interned with educational and real estate companies in Rwanda and Tanzania. His internship involved research and analysis of educational programs and real estate projects. Through his internships in schools in Tanzania, Emmanuel created environmental programs that have prevented degradation activities in rural areas of Tanzania. He is a dedicated change-maker with proven leadership and communication skills. As a multitalented individual whose curiosity-driven mind formulates and implements solutions to critical challenges on the African continent, Emmanuel possesses a strong work ethic that has paved the way for many successful ventures under his supervision. He is currently pursuing a degree in Global challenges at the African Leadership University, Rwanda.	At the heart of each plastic container is an unspeakable danger to life, the economy, and the environment. With more than 450 million tons of plastic being produced yearly, the solution to intensified plastic pollution is not reducing its use but rather innovatively bringing sustainable solutions that completely eradicate its usage. It is quite ironic that most plastic waste is produced from agricultural spaces. The use of polythene seed bags when planting seedlings has jeopardized the overall environmental conservation efforts. Rather than conserving the environment, agriculture has been growing environmental pollution with unquantifiable plastic pollution production. If our goal is to conserve the environment, then it only makes sense to use polythene-free methods that enrich the soil and reduces the negative impact on the environment. From a tender age, I witnessed severe environmental calamities such as droughts which killed much livestock and destroyed the financial standings of many. I wanted to be an agent in my community and contribute to the improvement of the environment through re-imagining the way we conserve and interact with our environment. I got motivated to co-found a venture that derives a sustainable solution to using polythene seedling containers/ bags across agricultural spaces. Banana Fiber Seedbag is an organic container we produce and sell at an affordable price to farmers within and outside Kigali, Rwanda. As a passionate conservationist, my mind has always wandered beyond the horizons thinking of innovative solutions that can address vast environmental challenges in and outside my community. Since its founding, Banana Fiber has positioned itself as a leading conservation company in Rwanda, commissioned to reduce plastic usage in Agricultural spaces by 53% before the end of 2025 through our Banana Fiber Seedbag. The implementation of this solution has been highly successful, with various farmers and organizations partnering with us to scale up the production of our seedbag. My vision has always been to think outside the box and harness new and better ways of conserving the environment. Over the years, I made it my mission to work tirelessly and ensure that my community does not suffer from environmental hazards caused by the agricultural practices they employ. My motivation to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 comes from a place of well-founded passion for the environment and conservation. I am a lifelong learner who strongly believes in the power of exposure to diversity, and I believe the forum will afford me to meet diverse and enriching delegates who will challenge and shape the way I run my project. Through joint efforts, we can realize Africa free from pollution and climate crisis. The forum is a ripe opportunity for me to share and inspire other delegates with my project, an aspect that will go a long way in magnifying our impact on mitigating climate change. I am convinced that the forum will go a long way in informing my current approach toward battling plasticulture and mitigating its consequences on the environment.

I am motivated to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 because I am highly passionate about conservation of the environment to ensure sustainability. Currently in my nation, we are really facing great challenges caused by climate change like high temperatures, droughts, floods. We are really trying hard to overcome the challenges that are caused by climate change by practicing activities like planting trees, conducting civic education about conservation of the environment. Attending the forum will give me an opportunity to interact with different people from different cultures and backgrounds. I will gain new knowledge and skills on environment conservation and combating climate change. I will then share the knowledge gained with my group members back in my country and this will help us expand our circle and hence reach more groups. This will give us better results by the end of the day.

I want to be part of the ACMI Youth forum delegate for COP27 because I believe in Climate mobility Like in my Country Nigeria and my State Nasarawa State precisely, we have a lot of forests where forestry is going on with a-lot of activities. Like cutting down of trees and turning into Charcoals for human use, making Oxide a source of leaving for humans, some turning trees to woods for human use, making furniture, firewood, some trees are medicinal and the rest. Without all these, we may be left behind and humans will likely do other things to bridge or cover up the spaces but with the use of what we have in our environment, we have a lots that generate oxide for human consumption. Which keeps the world involving and learning.

And i finished my degree with first class honours. Currently, I am a master's degree student in Barcelona spain studying Decentralised Smart Energy Systems under a scholarship sponsored by the European commission. I have a deep rooted desire to contribute engineering solutions to the energy problems of the world, most particulary in Africa. I grew up in an energy improvished region of Nigeria and with my technical knowledge of energy systems and climate change now; i understand that there is an urgent need to scale up energy access to more people in Africa without compromising environmental quality. This is why I am studying decentralised smart energy systems to contribute sustainable and scalable solutions in form of mini grids to the energy improverished parts of Africa.	I am an Energy Engineer with a special focus on designing and deploying decentralised energy systems. I strongly believe that the bid to avert climate change starts with the transition of our energy systems towards cleaner and sustainable fuels. Furthermore, I have a deep rooted desire to improve the current low levels of Africa's energy access by deploying smart mini grids to off-shore communities and villages. I believe the consequences of this deployment would have a positive overall effects on the wellbeing of the people in terms of economy, and air quality. My reason for applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate is to gain more experience about the climate change policies in respect to Africa and also to understand better the pathways towards climate disaster by networking with clean-energy minded fellows and share ideas towards creating a sustainable future for the Africa and the World at large.

1626	Mutoni	Juliet	Dream Record ltd	www.dreamrecord.rw	Mutoni Juliet is a Rwandan female with Bachelor’s degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management from VATEL International University obtained on 29th July 2022. She is currently leading the marketing department of Dream Record ltd, a media company in Rwanda. Juliet as a Rwandan environmental activist wants to address the problem of climate change through learning how to strike at the root of our systemic societal problems. Juliet and his husband are starting an organization that aims at sensitizing the population of their sector (At start) to plant at least one tree in every home. As one of those who lost a close friend in the eruption of the Nyiragongo volcano in western Rwanda, She always feels that something should be done for the people who live in this volcano area to have hope of survival. She is looking for a master’s degree and any other climate change trainings to go in deep on how to discover how to actually reverse the global warming.	On 22 May 2021, Mount Nyiragongo in the Democratic Republic of the Congo began erupting. As of 25 May, 32 people died as a result of the eruption and 1,000 homes were destroyed. among those who died, there was friend of mine. Her death was very sad for me. This made me to think that both the governments of Rwanda and Congo should come together and look at this serious problem that threatens our region. The people who live in these volcanoes are always afraid that tomorrow or the next day they will be in danger again. That was the first motivation that made me change my plans to go into hotels and decide to focus on climate change. I decided to apply to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27. Secondly I was motivated by GretaThunberg in her statement “School Strike for Climate", to pressure the government to meet carbon emissions targets. Her small campaign had a global effect, inspiring thousands of young people across the world to organize their own strikes. Through becoming youth delegate will boost my knowledge on how I should raise my voice on this serious problem of Volcanic eruption As an experience relating to climate mobility I and my husband we are now creating an organization that will encourage people to plant trees in their homes to combat the emissions from these volcanoes.

1630	Geoffrey	Osoro	County Government of Nyamira	County Government of Nyamira	I posses Masters in Business Administration, Bachelor of Commerce and CPA.I work with the County Government of Nyamira, Kenya.	This is a unique opportunity for me to learn and gain skills in advocacy for Climate Education. Climate impacts hit the most vulnerable first, but they don't have boundaries. It can happen to any economy in the world. We believe the transition to decarbonized economies is a transformational time and taking an offensive approach is critical inorder to remain relevant in the net-zero future. Climate impacts are expected to be some of the most challenging globally .Indeed if global temperatures do not calm, then the world will reach a tipping point where weather extremes could increasingly become the norm.
1631	ELISHA	MHANGO	yigse ( youths for inclusive growth and safe environment)	www.yigse.com	Elisha Mhango are my full names, born in 1997 in Zambia holder of a green national registration card. I recently completed my undergraduate in Forestry at the Copperbelt university in Zambia Kitwe. I have been so passionate and taken interest in the fight against climate change that is why i decided to do a program that encompasses that. I am member of a youth lead organization (youths for inclusive growth and safe environment that has climate action as one of its goals to archive, I am serving as the secretary and spokesperson of the organization. we recently participated in the world nature conservation day by planting trees in the CBD of Kitwe in trying to address the sustainable development goals (smart cites). I'm an innovative youth that works with little supervision and loves to be a team leader and delivers assignments on time with efficiency and hard work.	Our climate is changing. Temperatures are rising and devastating extreme weather events are becoming more common. Global response lags as mitigation plans fall far short of what is needed to sustain the planet. The climate crisis has sparked a crisis of mobility: Around the world, in 2019 alone, some 23.9 million people were involuntarily displaced by weather-related disasters. That dwarfs the 8.5 million people displaced by the factors we so often associate with migration and displacement: conflict and violence. Sadly, children are disproportionately affected by climate change and man-made disasters, with around 500 million children living in areas with very high risk of flooding and nearly 160 million living in areas of extreme or high risk of drought. there is need for us to employ activities that are climate smart.

1633	Archibong	Akpan	African Centre for Climate Literacy and Rural Development		Archibong Akpan is a young professional and a Nigerian climate scientist. He is the co-founder and Executive Director of the African Centre for Climate Literacy and Rural Development where he leads youth actions to achieve the UN Agenda 2030 and net zero by 2050. Archibong has a PhD in Climatology and Climate Change studies from the University of Uyo, Nigeria and has worked as a Program Manager with the African Centre for Environment, Agriculture, and Rural Development for over 10 years to engage diverse stakeholders, including indigenous peoples, youth groups, community-based organizations, and civil society to lead climate action projects. He is an IPCC scientist and expert reviewer and has contributed to the AR6 that was recently published in April 2022. He is also a Fellow of Climate Change and Climate Service with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). In May 2022, at ECOWAS, he was part of the technical committee that drafted and validated the ECOWAS Regional Climate Strategy (RCS) to provide a pathway for carbon neutrality in the 15 ECOWAS member states.	Climate change will upend the 21st century world order—from how we live and work to global systems of production, trade, economics, and finance. The global response must be equally ambitious. Over the past 10 years, I have improved my ability to address one of the major problems the world is currently experiencing, namely climate change. Al Gore trained me in the Climate Reality Leadership Project in South Africa in 2014. With a second class upper, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Geography and Regional Planning. In 2017, I earned my Master of Science in Geography with a focus on climate change, and in 2021, I earned my PhD in Climatology and Climate Change Studies. My whole body of academic research and volunteer work centers on climate change and its solutions. I have been an Expert Reviewer for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change since 2018 and have made contributions to the AR4, AR6, and Summary Reports for Policy Makers. Persons of color, low-income groups, and people with disabilities are disproportionately impacted by climate change, and they are the worst hit. This in turn wreaks havoc on their economic livelihoods in the post-COVID-19 era. If young people are not included in the local, national, regional, and global climate action plans, the achievement of SDGs by 2030 and the Paris goal by 2100 would be jeopardized by the negative effects of climate change on food security, energy, economic livelihoods, ecosystem services, education, rural and urban development, health care services, etc. Having worked with the ECOWAS commission to develop the ECOWAS Regional Climate Strategy to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030, I have garnered strong experience in diplomacy, negotiations, teamwork, diversity, and multilateral partnerships. I am highly motivated to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 because young people in Africa must be supported to develop and implement their own climate adaptation solutions. They must be included in the policy and decision-making process to implement locally, country-specific and regional climate plans. This is a recurring issue as the aspirations of young people are not inclusive in COPs. With my diverse skills, education, and experience, I want to challenge world leaders and change these narratives in COP27.
1634	Aya	Saad	Zigzag (Marketing agency )	-	My name is Aya Saad, I am a graduate of the Faculty of Arts, Cairo University. I have been involved in different events as I am passionate about getting exposed to all points of view about a matter or an issue, these events were as follows the Internationational festival of theatre and the National festival of theatre and the Cairo book fair, and the Africa cup of Nations I was an Editorial trainee at Forbes Middle East and it advanced my writing skills and helped me to start to persuade my career in journalism. There was a time when I wrote an article about Cop 27 since then I was interested in having the chance to attend it, to attend the last chance, and most important for all countries to collaborate with each other towards one goal As part of my volunteer work, I started to write about environmental topics, and I preferred to have a niche that is making simple and easy-to-understand content about environmental issues by being a content writer in two organizations Shagrha and Ain Elbeeah It's just the beginning of building my career in environmental journalism and delivering these issues to the public and involving them in saving our Earth	As I mentioned before it started when I found my passion in delivering my thoughts and changing the world through journalism, and I was passionate also about delivering climate solutions to the public to make it easy to understand for them because we really need them in achieving this goal it’s not about countries, it's about people and how they react with their environments So this will give me the opportunity to discuss a lot of different ideas related to the climate, to build my network so that we can work together to achieve this goal I am excited about the idea that I can apply and develop a lot of my skills such as negotiation, communication skills, and networking effectively with different mindsets and cultures. Being an ACMI Youth Forum Delegate for COP 27 will be the first step toward building my environmental journalism career and being active in this matter in my country
1635	Barbara	Nakijoba	Uganda Youth Development Link (UYDEL)	www.uydel.org	Barbara Nakijoba is a monitoring, evaluation and learning officer, social worker, and data analyst who shines light on the plight of vulnerable categories and advocates for shaping resilient communities where environmental protection is everyone’s responsibility. She believes the climate crisis requires collective effort and active participation of all people worldwide. She advocates for integration of environment solutions within programs targeting other social problems for sustainability. She believes in acting locally to impact globally. She spends most of her time on collaborative design of education interventions about climate change, and use principles of cognitive, socio-emotional and behavioral learning to empower individuals to assume active roles, both locally and globally, in building more peaceful, tolerant, inclusive, secure societies, and resilient environment. She believes the solution to creating resilient communities against climate change lies in cultivating the culture of “Ubuntu” and integrating climate change in other social interventions. She has successfully implemented several community development projects, youth empowerment project, health projects and other projects addressing other social problems. These formed the basis of her publications on victimization, suicide and coping among vulnerable youth during COVID 19 and Vocational skills training; A complimentary strategy in addressing structural factors associated with HIV risk among AGYW in rural districts in Uganda. She is a Ban Ki-moon Global citizen scholar who designed and implemented an SDG Micro project contributing to SDG 16 of Peace Justice and Strong Institutions. She represents civil society on the National Task force for combatting trafficking in Uganda and due to her exceptional work and commitment to youth crime prevention has been recognized and appointed as a youth focal point for the UNODC Stakeholder Engagement for UNTOC (SE4U). She has also represented youth voices at several international youth engagements at the African Union and United Nations Conferences organized by UNODC-Civil Society Unit (CCPCJ side events, ECOSOC youth Forum, 1st youth forum for the culture of Lawfulness, and Education for Justice Global Dialogues (E4J) among others). She has undergone several mentorship on Agenda 2030 and Global citizenship Education by UNESCO-APCEIU. She uses her blog “Live the life U-deserve” and her podcast “rising feminist” to promote positive mental health among youth. She uses her Tik Tok and Facebook pages to influence people to make environmentally safe decisions and encourage all actors (both private and public) to take responsibility. She has been invited to the attend the upcoming eleventh session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (COP UNTOC), to be held between 17-21 October 2022 in Vienna Austria.	Our climate is constantly changing and to a large extent due to human activity resulting into a rise in temperatures and devastating extremes of weather. To me, climate change problem is far too urgent. If we do not act now, we are doomed. Climate change unlike other problems knows no borders. We are all equally affected regardless of where you live or who you are. Unfortunately, those who are already vulnerable are the worst hit and shoulder the greatest burden. This includes women, youth and children. The climate crisis has resulted into a crisis of mobility worldwide. In 2019 alone, some 23.9 million people were involuntarily displaced by weather-related disasters. Rains that were previously cherished for nurturing plant growth are now resented for taking innocent lives; at least 25 died in recent landslides in Uganda. The Northern part of the country is in crisis over food insecurity and heat waves have become the new normal. It is unfortunate that majority of these are women, children and youth who are ill equipped to cope with uncertainty of losing their home. Yet these have been overlooked in the emerging debate, research and policies on climate-related migration and displacement. In order to shine a light on the plight of these vulnerable categories and advocate for shaping resilient communities where environmental protection is everyone’s responsibility, I am interested in participating as an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27. I believe the climate crisis requires collective effort and active participation of all people worldwide. Since all social problems are interlinked (there is a cause and effect relationship between all of them e.g. climate mobility leads to increase in crime, poor health etc.), there is need to integrate environment solutions within programs targeting other social problems. I also believe in acting locally to impact globally which is why I design projects that create awareness regarding climate change, and use principles of cognitive, socio-emotional and behavioral learning to empower individuals to assume active roles, both locally and globally, in building more peaceful, tolerant, inclusive, secure societies, and resilient environment. The interventions benchmark already existing community structures to integrate environmental protection in daily operations of these structures e.g. schools, faith based organizations, local government, families, and cultivate the culture of “Ubuntu” Climate crisis has resulted into an increase in exploitation and abuse of women, youth and children, increased child labour and forced a significant portion of youth into survival crime and sex work and this has been exacerbated further by the COVID 19 pandemic. Over 70% of the youth beneficiaries we served in our livelihood empowerment programs at Uganda Youth Development Link (UYDEL) in Kampala between the year 2019 and 2021 were victims of climate mobility from areas as far as Eastern, Western and Northern parts of Uganda. These presented different problems at the time of recruitment; substance use, crime, sexual exploitation, child labour etc. More information about my work can be found on my personal media sites and www.uydel.org.

Conferences bring together people from all different geographical areas who share a common discipline or field, and they are a great way to meet new people in your field. 2. To expand your knowledge and find solutions to problems You will hear a lot about things in your field that will be new to you. These could be new techniques, new types of equipment, unpublished data, or learn from thought-leaders that you may not have previously heard of. You will get to keep onto of the research of some of the biggest names in your field, in addition to some of the newest faces in it. 3. To present your ideas and work to others This is one of the more obvious reasons for attending conferences: to present your work. It’s good practice in talking about what you do with a variety of people from similar, related and/or completely different areas of study. Presenting will make you more confident about the work that you do, and gives you new perspective about your work as people may ask questions that make you think about your project differently. 4. Learn beyond your field or interest This is a two-fold benefit of attending conferences, since not only may you learn things outside your field about other areas of research in your discipline, but conference attendance also have many sessions for professional development and career advice

1639	Joshua	Laizer	Tanzania Conservation and Community Engagement Initiatives -TACCEI	www.taccei.org	I am a young and energetic pastoralist youth, born and working with Pastoralist communities in Northern Tanzania. I was born in an indigenous community (Maasai) whose livelihood depends on livestock. With Bachelor Degree in Economics, Majoring in Agriculture economics I have spent the last 5 years working with pastoral communities in addressing challenges of climate change through climate-smart agriculture practice. I have worked with Global Communities formally Project Concern International (PCI) on the implementation of the Afriscout project which involves the use of technology (mobile app) incorporated with indigenous knowledge in rangeland management and search and help them find water and pastures for their animals while using technology in mitigating the effects of climate change. Moreover, I am a founder of Kondoo Bora Investment, an enterprise that addresses issues of livestock breeding and marketing as well as the provision of an environmentally friendly solution to livestock keeping in Tanzania. I co-founded TACCEI (www.taccei.org) a nonprofit organization dedicated to natural resource management, education, and community empowerment. We work with a range of partners and stakeholders to support the efforts made by the government of Tanzania toward natural resource management and community empowerment. I have attended a number of workshops and movements on climate change movement, such as a review of agriculture and livestock policy in Tanzania, Regional Consultation on Climate Change and Pastoralism in Lukenya University In Kenya (27th-29th Sep 2022 by Climate Smart Agriculture Youth Network (www.csaynglobal.org).	Climate change is the problem that is facing every group at different social levels. As a young man from an Indigenous pastoral community, I feel that it's my role to be part of the team to develop strategies and plans in mitigating its effects. Climate Mobility Pavilion (CMP) offers us the chance as youth to express our voices, learn from each other, and seize the available opportunities in the sector. with participants coming from different localities, our varying experience, knowledge, skills, and field practical experiences exchanged with each other, and from our exchange, we can together arrive at one draft that will help us develop a sufficient plan and strategy for climate change mitigation. I believe that the experience that we gain from the forum, and the practical experience of different localities will help us as youth to implement such learning strategies with our communities back at the homestead, our institutions, and on our policies development in our countries. I also believe that the experience from Climate Mobility Pavilion (CMP) will help us be competent as a youth in the face of climate. Participating in CMP will make me more competent and expose me to opportunities and knowledge on compacting Climate Change effects.

I am ecologist-ornithologist thanks to the learning and experiences that I have got of how to protect birds and environment in general.	I am an ecologist-ornithologist who work in protection of birds and environment in general, I ensure you that through the ACMI Youth Forum, I may gain more in protecting the climate issues. If I can get the chance of becoming the ACMI Youth Forum, it may help me in getting much experiences as well as much degree of how to help my community and clubs in protecting the climate change. As an AfricanYouth who work for the environment in protecting them, I really have a vision of seeing my continent Africa being the first in protecting the climate change. where I am standing, Youths are not responsible for the protection of climate change, that is why I need much learning in order to help other Youths as well as all Africans in general. I would like to be among of those Youths who will be selected in ACMI Youth Forum because I think that the learning will help me in my career of ecologist-ornithologist. By finilizing I would like also to thank all organization of ACMI Youth Forum.
1641	Omar	Bakari	MasterCard Foundation scholars program	https://mastercardfdn.org/all/scholars/	My name is Omar Hero Bakari. I am a Kenyan from Tana River county . I was born in Kinyadu a rural village in Tana Delta, Tana River county. I began my education at Kinyadu primary school. In 2013 following displacement by floods that destroyed our home I transferred to Kone primary school in Hola where I graduated in 2015. I enrolled at Hola Boys secondary school early 2016 and graduated in November 2019. Currently, I am in my second year pursuing a Bachelor's degree in psychology at the United States International University-Africa.	I am a native of Tana River county. a semi-arid region famous for flash floods and severe droughts. Floods typically occur every two to three years and cause significant displacement. In Tana Delta, River Tana splits into two channels. Up until 1990s, there was just one main river and some communities were nearby. Then a second channel split off 1km away. One of the communities that was put in the center was kinyadu village, where I was born. This means the villages are more susceptible to flooding. Everytime there are floods, cholera breaks out, which results in a large number of fatalities. This is a result of inadequate environmental maintenance and trash removal. I witnessed displacements in my entire childhood until 2013 where heavy flooding occured displacing the majority of people including my family. Our home was destroyed and we were compelled to move to Hola where a family friend hosted us. On the other hand drought causes acute deaths of cattles in our neighboring communities. I have witnessed all these and I am determined to help create environmental changes by campaigning and advocating for environmental conservation that includes tree planting and advocating for environmental factors that will help prevent health disasters resulting from floods and intake of water from dirty environments during drought. Some environmental solutions can also include utilising water from the enormous river Tana that traversed the great county. However, I am motivated to participate in this program because I believe there I will be able to acquire skills and at the same time interact with different ideologies that will help me achieve my long term dream. The African Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) is one of the very few opportunities that reaches people like myself from the marginalized regions. I overjoyed to have come across this opportunity. I wish I could make an impact out of it.

1643	Charity	Muiruri	The Catholic University of Eastern Africa	www.cuea.edu	Charity Wangari Muiruri is a student at The Catholic University of Eastern Africa in Nairobi doing a bachelor's degree in Geography. She decided to persue this course because she loves the environment and taking care of is what she loves. Geography has helped her understand the relationship between human and also with the environment and also the economy of the country. With this course it has enabled her to travel a few places such as Lake Naivasha, The Hell's Gate and the Kipeto Geothermal station in Kiserian Kajiado county. She has also taken part in planting trees around the university and cleaning the environment. She is a hardworking student who needs no supervision. If given any form of a task she will do it under no pressure and deliver a very clean job. She is a humble and simple lady who is honest and trustworthy. If any task is to be done as a team she is comfortable to do it. During my free time she loves travelling and exploring new environment. She also like meeting new people and interact with them and learning different things with each other. She loves reading novels and watching different documentaries especially wild animal documentaries. With all the interests and qualities mentioned above, if any opportunity arises to help in conservation of the environment she is highly recommended and will not regret putting her on your team.	One of the motivations to become an ACMI youth forum delegate is the fact that there are like minded people who are willing to save the planet. The fact that there are people who are ready to give solutions to these environmental problems that we are facing this will make the work easier and with different minds coming together there will be many solutions that will come up in dealing with the problems. The need of cleaner and fresher air. Pollution is one of the major challenges contributing to climate in almost every part of the world if not all. With people coming from different parts of the world we'll get how they try to manage pollution in their various countries and even come up with better solutions. Climate mobility has caused displacement to some people. In that the climate mobility has caused some places to flood and others to be dry. With these conditions it makes it hard for people to settle. Climate mobility has also changed the farming patterns for farmers.You find that the time they were supposed to harvest they are now receiving rains making it difficult for them to harvest and when they are supposed to plant they are not receiving any rains. These even changes the food production in the market.
1644	Emmanuel	Kobang	Marangcjss		Hi my name is Emmanuel Kobang a 15 year old boy who resides in mogoditshane Botswana. I first got to know about climate change when I was with a friend of mine when we were talking about the intense heat we were experiencing in Africa then I ended up finding out about climate change and it's cause. I also found out that we humans are the root cause Of climate change and that was how I became a climate change activist.	One of my biggest motivation on being a climate change interested person was seeing the fires that happened in Australia, Florida and Russia. Seeing all of this made me realise that we humans are killing the Earth and producing the carbon which affects the rest of us and our surrounding land. Also I got interested when I meet Ms Jumbo who kept on begging me to do a clip about climate change and how it is affecting the world thus making me a climate change activist
1645	Janice	Nyambura	Catholic University of Eastern Africa	www.cuea.edu	My name is Janice Nyambura. Born and raised in Kiambu, Kenya. A firstborn in a family of three. Currently an on going student at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa studying Ba in Geography.I am part of the Geography club in school. I spend my time learning new skills that will enable me to make a contribution to the society as well as develop myself as an individual. Just like the late Wangari Maathai I aspire to be an Environmental Campaigner. I look forward to working and being part of environmental organizations such as the UNEP. I love caring and conserving the environment.	With the arising issues happening in our today life, I feel I have a duty to play a role in informing raising awareness and educating people in context of disasters and climate change. People seem to have little knowledge concerning the climate hence there's need to support them either those affected and those not affected realize the need for climatic knowledge. Being in a position where I see a community managing to stay safely in disaster affected areas or maybe move safely to another area and be able to maintain a livelihood is a driving motivator. Second, I am a youth and I see the need to have solutions at hand for the present and future generations in regards to preventing and respond to disasters and climate change. This will also contribute to having sustainable development. Third, interacting with people with the same goals as me will be a great opportunity. Having to share and exchange ideas will help me gain more knowledge in this context and also I will come out with new skills which will enable me make a contribution to the society by making them well informed. Thirdly, participating in this forum will help me understand, in depth, the challenges and hardships most communities have to face especially when affected by climate hazard. Lastly it is my passion to participate in forums such a this that sharpen my knowledge and help me to understand the relationship between the environmental and the human life.
1646	Asia	Mueni	Kenyatta University	www.ku.ac.ke	Asia Mueni is a 4th year Environmental Scientist student at Kenyatta University. She is also an innovator working on a simple mechanization to help farmers mitigate post harvest losses. Her work is inspired by social and environmental issues and the intersection of the natural world. With the rise of environmental issues around the globe, many are beginning to see solving these issues as a spectator sport. A sport in which humanity relies on policy makers, scientists, and others to make changes for them. With time, she has developed a compelling passion towards the natural environment and all the elements that compose it. She has been able to witness behind the transparent glass of development how the relationship with nature is becoming more noxious. With this in mind, she decided to work on a more sustainable mechanization system to help revert the climate change as well as helping farmers as Co-founder of Silo Pack limited. She is also a volunteer within the St. Joseph Catholic Church Kahawa Sukari Nairobi, working with the vulnerable in the society.	A central paradox in human behavior is that people value their health, relationships, and environments yet choose actions that harm them. One explanation for this value-action gap is that evolution shaped human minds to respond to problems faced by our distant ancestors. Issues concerning climate mobility are an abstract, slow, and distant problem unlike any our ancestors adapted to solve, and therefore humans are poorly equipped for environmentalism. It's through such forums, outside school, where our voices are heard and we create awareness for the current and future generations who are likely to suffer the impacts of our actions or inactions. I realized while growing up that humans have a very strong and direct impact that can transform nature. Since when I joined the university to pursue a degree course in Environmental Science and Education, I’ve been working systematically, trying to understand how people think about climate change and the actions needed to address the problem and know how we can effectively communicate with people about those topics. This forum therefore, will give me more insights because learning is the first step in solving issues about the climate. It is evident that there is a high level of awareness and concern amongst individuals regarding the issue of climate change yet a gap exists between the concern and taking action to address the situation. This forum will enable me as an individual network with the rest of the delegates and exchange notes on what's working in their areas and what's working in our areas. The magnitude of the climate change challenge is unprecedented as it has the potential to affect all of humanity and all other living species.
1647	Amira	Saad	Agricultural Research Center	http://www.arc.sci.eg/default.aspx?lang=ar	My name is Amira Saad, I finished studying the agricultural field with a passion to get a position related to my field of study. I worked hard to get the job I am working in now. I even started my master’s degree, as its subject was agricultural economics, and the experience of obtaining a master’s degree was interesting as I learned a lot about rural and urban and the differences between them, and their relationship to economic and social factors. I completed my master’s study at Menoufia University in Egypt and now I am completing my doctorate study at the African Institute at Cairo University. This was the beginning of my interest in international affairs at the level of Africa and not only at the level of Egypt My Ph.D. topic will be as follows "The Impact of Climate Change on Food Security", so I see that my presence will help me to present a realistic solution from the reality of the discussions in Cop27	The thing that motivates me the most about attending COP27 discussions is my Ph.D. topic, which I want to be close to reality and the goals that countries will work on. Thus, in my role, I will help an agricultural engineer and researcher at the National Center for Agricultural Research. This role enables me to help my country, Egypt, to participate in achieving the goals of the conference in particular. The Ph.D. title will be on the impact of climate change on food security, and this is a very important thing, not only for Egypt but for the world, especially Africa, as it needs to pay attention to it and apply those solutions to achieve food security in it. For this reason, I believe that giving me the opportunity to attend the conference will result in achieving important goals at the individual, African and global levels

Looking to make a difference in Science Education, I have been working with spreading awareness around climate change effects, how we can protect environment and understand the fun behind science so l am keen on to attend COP27 in Egypt this year to provide poor children with chance to share with world efforts to protect our planet. I am involved in everyone want to promote Science Education to young minds so don't irrigate to give this chance to leave my small village in upper Egypt then reach for stars with my students and all the world.	My journey to explore myself started with my YouTube Channel which is my small window to spread environmental and social thoughts. From this stage to join Shagaret Betna which is environmental institute exert all effort to reduce pollution in Egypt specially Ezzbat Khairalla so our exerts was crowned with the Royal Visit of Duckness Camilla " Wife of The king of United Kingdom Charles \|\|\| ". In addition to Charity World which I can't continue without the helpful spirit in life Makers that make me determine myself in near specially in environmental campaign called " make it green". From various situation, I found my innate passion to practice communication and negotiation skills then I transferred to be a leader of team containing more than 20 person at the age of 20. Although I practiced different roles like Social Media, HR, Content Creation but I couldn't find better than PR and treating with different categories of clients to receive the massage of The less fortunate. From this part of story, I realized that my Passion to treat with people and make content for him or her. On this Rood, I use different methods and platforms like life Demos, Video, White board and Voice Over. While changing methods, my main purpose is people. So l participated in different projects like Empower hub to increase awareness about how bad air pollution with real story for Eman who suffer from health problems. My role to make content of the story with vibrant voice over. Next step was exploring Science Communication in near by I_Scientist Program funded by British Council in which l challenge myself to make full white board video with voice over in English froward to kids to save marine life and clown fish " Nemo ". Even though my busy daily to do list, I was keen on attending to different events, conferences related to Climate action like International Volunteer Day specially environment panel discussions funded by British Council and science communication competitions like Fame Lab to make complected scientific topics more familiar in 3 minutes. My speech for how women could see different Shades of the same colour while men couldn't and they more susceptible to injury with Colour Blindness. Everyone has a turning point in life. My one was Science Street. I joined family of Science Street as a Science Communicator in environmental part of Reyiad Home Coming Festival specially " as a leader of Green Earth Zone ". My Role to make kids protect our planet from effects of Climate Change. Kids ' expedition happened by Flower Rema welcome to kids and take them to catch clouds, grow family of Flower Rema and move around world by magical passport. Moreover my achievements with kids in science show and green earth, I have treated with different methods of social media in Spacetoon events, Saudi reporters and General Entertainment Authority to encourage all children explore our green world. Finally, I am ready to start a new journey with you. So it is a pleasure for me to be a part of this mega star event like COP27 to return this information and knowledge for the ordinary public.

I document my exploration on my YouTube channel: "Where is Vivienne?" https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZkzR5PPEi1zMypqenkvSmg	As a Kenyan, we are experiencing first hand negative impacts of climate change such as extreme high temperatures and drought which is killing domestic animals, wildlife and human beings (women and children are adversely affected). Water security and food security as well as challenges on economic growth is being experienced. People in the coastal part of Kenya are already experiencing sea level rise and other challenges like salt water intrusion. Lake Victoria, lake Turkana, Lake Baringo and other likes have greatly increased in size which has washed away homes and schools while communities have been attacked by crocodiles etc. Early 2020, we experienced an invasion of massive swarms of locusts due to increased temperatures as a result of scarcity of rainfall and strong winds with close relation to cyclones. The locusts damaged people food farms and even lead to diseases. The Manufacturing sector has been affected due to climate change such as energy fluctuations or blackouts due to interruptions of energy supply arising from lower annual rainfall and severe droughts which causes the water level in the hydroelectric power plants to decline this resulting to low power production. Attending COP27 will give me an opportunity to; 1. Engage with experts on the best solution in tackling nature and ecosystem-based challenges. Be inspired to rethink creatively on the possible solutions that can generate income opportunities to communities as they help in mitigating climate change. 2. Be part of Africans to elaborate the challenges we are experiencing with food and water insecurity yet we are the least emitters of GHC emissions. Find best practices in ensuring on coming season we have food and water security. 3. Add more voice in championing for more funding to be cascaded to less developing nations so as to help in reversing the negative impacts on eco-systems. 4. An opportunity to network with other young African leaders & other climate activities from different parts of the world who are like-minded which will create platforms for exchanging ideas on how to better my own community. 5. From the acquired skills and exposure from the conference I will be able to strengthen my leadership skills as well as enhance our strategic plan so as ensure the organization meets its mandate. 6. I believe from the exposure I will improve on my confidence and gain a positive world view. I will also engage in knowledge sharing of the best practices to my colleagues and volunteers. . 7. Participating in the conference will help my organization and I amplify our contribution / activities we have undertaken in promoting clean energy in rural areas, clean up exercises, tree growing and advocacy workshops on climate change. This will also give us an opportunity to share to our communities what we have learnt from the conference and come up with innovate solution on food & water security as well as other income generating activities that help in adapting and mitigating against negative impacts of climate change. Also a great opportunity to be part of the COP27 community in my country will enable me gain more exposure in participating in other events and forums
1654	PATRICK	MASANGU	SYNDICAT CHRETIEN DE TRAVAILLEURS DU CONGO		Proposition des pistes pour résoudre les problèmes de l'environnements	Les effets négatifs du changement climatique ont déjà un impact sur les espaces urbanisés et économiques, et influencent ainsi les mouvements migratoires. L’intensité et la fréquence croissante des phénomènes météorologiques extrêmes et l’élévation du niveau de la mer deviendront des facteurs impactant de plus en plus les déplacements à la suite de catastrophes, les migrations et les réinstallations planifiées. La population africaine est particulièrement touchée par les effets du changement climatique, tels que les tempêtes plus intenses, les inondations et l’élévation du niveau de la mer. Les régions d’Afrique Centrales sont elles aussi gravement menacées, par exemple par des épisodes de sécheresse et des inondations soudaines. La Convention-cadre des Nations unies sur les changements climatiques reconnaît la migration comme une stratégie d’adaptation au changement climatique. Depuis 2017, le « groupe de travail sur le déplacement » du Mécanisme international de Varsovie relatif aux pertes et préjudices liés aux changements climatiques traite explicitement la question de la mobilité humaine dans le contexte du changement climatique. Le Pacte mondial pour des migrations sûres, ordonnées et régulières reconnaît que le changement climatique est un facteur de migration et appelle à une meilleure compréhension et à la recherche de solutions en matière de migration dans le contexte des catastrophes naturelles et du changement climatique. La mise en œuvre de mesures régionales pour faire face aux migrations induites par le climat, aux réinstallations planifiées et aux déplacements liés aux catastrophes est essentielle pour la survie des groupes de population touchés. Pour cette raison, les gouvernements locaux par les jeunes ont besoin de connaissances fondées sur la pratique pour tester des mesures et échanger leurs expériences avec des partenaires.

A youth charting the course of the future of his society and the world at large, he is passionate about the SDG’s and their advocacy, which led him to co-found the Sustainable Development Advocates (SDA)—the first registered club solely on the SDGs at the University of Lagos, where he serves as her President. In 2020, he and a group of notable individuals launched the project Save The Lagoon (STL)—the first Nigerian proposition to be awarded the Millennium Oceans Prize. STL aims at reducing open defecation in Ilaje, Bariga. While implementing the project, David realized a lack of tutors in the Bright Achievers’ free school. As president of SDA, he started a teaching clinic project in collaboration with the school and the community, where he and nine other tutors provide 20+ hours of weekly tutoring to high school students. David Akanmu is also an academic scholar with a current CGPA of 5.00 on a 5.00 scale. As a testament to his wit, he has received 7 undergraduate scholarships/endowments/prizes and undergone 2 internships. He is a Research Assistant at ARUA working on Urban Water Pollution in Lagos, Nigeria—a project funded by the UKRI. In the short term, David plans to pursue a postgraduate degree in Environmental Engineering/Energy with an interest in researching how to use organic waste (biomass) to generate energy to not only solve Nigeria’s waste management problem but do so by aiding value creation through energy. A budding civil engineer, David hopes to become a leading professional and a PhD holder while shaping his world to be a sustainable society. David Akanmu enjoys learning. He enjoys meeting people and exposing himself to conducive environments. As a youth who has greatly benefited from the impact of mentors, he believes this expands his approach towards problem solving and critical thinking, which are the backbone of his persona.	I've lived all my life in Nigeria. Growing up, we had stable seasons with beautiful blue skies that fascinated me as a child. As I added years, I first noticed an uncertainty about the harmattan season, previously very certain, in Nigeria. Then our skies darkened. I met some environmental activists who created awareness that spurred my interest in the climate. This brief encounter left a significant impact on me; I realized that long term changes in the weather condition of a region has a term and was not normal. I learnt about the SDGs and in 2019 and co-founded SDA to advance them. Through SDA's initiatives, I gathered knowledge on Goal 13 - Climate Action. I realized Africa is one of the least contributors to climate change globally, yet we suffer the most from its impact due to weak infrastructure protecting us. I'll elucidate briefly on the devastating impacts of floods in Lekki, Lagos. Lagos borders the Atlantic and the Lagos Lagoon. From poorly designed drainages to indiscriminate disposal of waste and high rainfalls, Lekki's infrastructure is unprepared for floods. The floods are are felt by thousands. Houses submerged, cars destroyed, transportation and business activities halted are just a few. For the poor man, of which over 40 million Nigerians are part of, losses are difficult, I dare say impossible, to recoup. Children are forced out of their homes to hawk on the streets in order to sustain their families as opposed to being in schools getting an education! The crux of my application to becoming a delegate of the ACMI Youth Forum is simple; I want to alleviate the problems delineated in the preceding paragraphs. I have long determined that my purpose on earth is to make the world a better place by actively contributing towards proffering solutions to problems both local and global. I have developed my reason for applying below. To begin with, if I am to apply knowledge towards the mitigation of climate issues, I must have knowledge. Climate change solutions are never simple nor easy to measure. There are still so many (even learned) doubters of the severity of leaving our environment unprotected, and some completely unaware. I have labored judiciously towards self-education with the tools at my disposal. I am quite confident that the COP27 will be hugely educative for a youth like myself. I am particularly interested learning about the use of organic matter towards the generation of renewable energy in rural communities. Hence, I will love to utilize the tool ACMI is providing to learn from experts. Also, I desire to share to the communion of diverse people, the localized complexities I have experienced in Nigeria and what I have done to support goal 13. I believe sharing initiatives can lead to unprecedented development; critical brainstorming sessions can ensue, and resilient solutions resulting from these discussions can be actualized. Flowing from the UN’s emphasis on goal 17, Partnership for the goals, I plan to promote cross-cultural sustainable development at all levels.
1657	Joseph	Nzoka	St Paul's university	www.spu.ac.ke	My life revolves around many occasions. I grew up in a small village where the first African woman to win a Nobel peace prize who was an environmentalist Wangari Maathai came from . Furthermore as I grew I loved playing volleyball as part of utilising my free time . When I was a primary school kid I started a tree nursery operation and that's where my interest on environment conservation. After primary I went highschool level where I did research on the remedies of hunger in the continent Africa .Now that am furthering my education at the University am researching deeply on the climate justice in our continent.	First I'll like to say thank you very much to the founders and facilitators of this very important forum. As a scholar at St.pauls university which is a Christian chartered institution one day during a normal lecture about academic writing as the lecturer was giving out skills on how to engage ourselves in academic writing I thought of doing research about the climatic injustices that face Africa as a whole. Therefore, I did a detailed research especially basing more concern on the African countries with arid and semi-arid areas (deserts) .Now that agriculture is the backbone of the economy I saw it nice if we employ the best irrigation skills on those countries and use the best crops which will be resistant to pests and diseases on those areas and also encourage afforestation in the same regions.
1658	Tiffany-Angel	Kivihya	University of Nairobi	www.uonbi.ac.ke	I am an Environmental Planner and post graduate student from University of Nairobi. I have 3 years of experience undertaking research and providing solutions for sustainable energy use and coastal/marine preservation in Kenya. I also undertake environmental impact assessments/environmental audits, while championing for adequate environmental policy formulation and implementation. I am an environmental advocate who aspires to make a meaningful impact in the journey towards climate change mitigation and adaptation, conservation and rejuvenation of the environment within the country. My dream is to see a greener and more sustainable-oriented nation, from the policy makers down to the children who are our future generations.	My country, Kenya, is facing the worst drought it has experienced in 40 years. Due to slow policy implementation, 3.5 million Kenyans are facing food insecurity, a harsh effect of climate change. Climate change is, and will continue to be, a major concern if no action is taken soon. The African Climate Mobility Initiative Youth Forum is an opportunity to deepen and enrich my knowledge while engaging with other environmental advocates and activists to develop measures to combat this and prevent future occurrences. It is my responsibility as a Kenyan youth to stand in the frontline of the battle against climate change whilst being a champion for not only adaptation, but mitigation as well. While pursuing my undergraduate degree, I had the opportunity to attend a training on the application of geospatial technology for the creation and maintenance of sustainable, smart coastal cities, facilitated by WIOMSA. The information and skills gained were invaluable in carrying out my project which highlighted the disregard for the marine environment and the impacts of marine pollution within the local coastal community in Muoroto, Mombasa County. I have also had the opportunity to conduct research on sustainable and renewable energy sources for Kajiado County. The compiled energy atlas is useful for the planning of energy distribution within the county, ensuring accessibility of sustainable resources for the inhabitants. Now, as I undertake my postgraduate studies, I seek to integrate sustainable urban design and environmental preservation/conservation as a mitigation measure for urban sprawl, which has been a direct contributor to the decrease of land cover under agriculture and forestry. Policy makers and urban developers seldom factor in long-term environmental impacts when planning for infrastructural development, transforming our cities into concrete jungles. This trend, if not checked, poses a great threat to the environmental status of the country as a whole. As we hold the environment in trust for future generations, the burden of change falls on us, the youth, to save what is left and restore/rejuvenate what was taken down. We already have the solutions with us, the time for implementation is now.

1660	Rachel	Kakudji	Rehoboth Inc.		I am passionate about the environment and projects related to environmental innovation. I began my entrepreneurial journey as soon as I left university with a project on waste recovery. Professional, dynamic and determined, each new assignment is an opportunity for me to demonstrate my sense of organization, my team spirit and my ability to achieve my goals. My relational ease allows me to integrate and adapt easily to each environment.	Climate-related issues are my main motivation, the reason for the creation of my waste management structure to clean up the environment and limit the impact on the health of communities. Waste is also the main causes of greenhouse gas emissions, hence the main climate changes we see in our country. This situation creates other impacts on health, the well-being of communities, including the destruction of buildings. The DRCongo is a vast country and its geographical position gives the other surrounding country the opportunity to benefit from natural resources. Participating in the forum will allow me to better understand climate issues for our continent, share the initiatives already made to date and benefit from possible advice and guidance for practises elsewhere.

All this in the but of having a generation of young people mastering the problems of climate change and capable of developing strategies for behavioral change at the grassroots level.	Climate change is a global problem, especially for young people, as it limits their future employment opportunities and threatens our existence. Djibouti suffers from the consequences of extreme weather events, such as droughts and floods, which have a significant impact on the population and the economy. I have the ambition to become one of the important agents of change in the environmental sector of Djibouti and a qualified and competent person, armed with the knowledge necessary to undertake strategies for adaptation and mitigation of climate change. I am currently leading an environmental club initiative and a prevention platform where I engage young people to better understand the issues of climate change and how young people can play an active role in the fight against it. Since its inception in November 2021, this initiative has reached a total of 1,000 young Djiboutians. I believe being a delegate to the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum is a fulfilling international opportunity that can provide me with the knowledge, skills, exposure and network needed above all to understand the different forms of climate action, implementation and monitoring to create a lasting impact on climate action in my local community. I have no doubt that at the end of this program, I will fully understand and create climate projects based on my community and Djibouti in general.

1668	Binyam	Woldegiorgis	Marang CJSS		My name is Binyam Worku Woldegiorgis, I am a 15 year old boy schooling at Marang CJSS in Gaborone ,Botswana. My journey to become a climate activist started when I was 12 years old. I was scrolling through Facebook and I came across a post by Greta Thunberg. Her post really moved me. The realization came upon me that our society especially here in Botswana is being run on a environmentally unsustainable lifestyle. There is alot of pollution in our country here,everything from land to water pollution.There is lack of awareness and knowledge here in our society on the evident threat that we all face CLIMATE CHANGE. That is why I have dedicated all my efforts into encouraging the local community here better more sustainable ways of living a environmental positive lifestyles. I have teamed up with Stream International led by Mrs Ononofile Mogopodi and together we have successfully managed to raise awareness. Unfortunately we haven't done any large campaigns or rallies due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. However we have shifted to online meetings and streaming on our social media accounts. I believe if we do not do anything and things continue to go onas they are today, a day will come when humans will become extinct. Instead of neglecting these problems it is better we start fixing them as early as today , we can then save both the earth and our future.Although human negligence has caused some damage to the climate and ecosystem, it is not too late to start again and try to undo what we have done. If every individual can start puting effort in to taking a little more care of our environment then we can have a brighter greener future.	One of things that motivates me every single day to keep on with the fight for climate change is seeing on the news this catastrophic natural disaster that leaves a loss of life, property and land. I always feel this pain and guilt that our poor choices have lead to this disasters. Guided by my strong will of determination and hope for the betterment of the future generations I want my voice to be heard all around the world and touch people's hearts to change their ways because this is our plant if we are not going to take care of it who will. Greta Thunberg being one of my role models I believe its also my calling to take responsibility not only as a habitant of this world but as a future leader to take care of this environment God has blessed us with.
1669	Sematimba	Mwedini	Youth Go Green Uganda	www.youthgogreen.org.ug	Sematimba Mwedini is an active climate change activist. He graduated from Makerere University with a bachelor of science in Agriculture land Use and Management. His Career as an Environment activist began from way back in 2014 when he joined the University and joined the Makerere University Climate Change Association. Together with other colleagues founded the Youth Go Green Network which later birthed the Youth Go Green Uganda a youth led non-government organization championing climate change advocacy and youth targeted interventions to curb the effects of climate change. As a college student he served as the the president of the United Nations Association of Uganda Makerere University Chapter from 2016 to 2017. Since 2018, he has been a part time staff at the Youth Go Green Secretariat in the docket of a Climate Change Officer where he provides technical back stopping on projects pertaining Agriculture, Forestry and Land use. In addition he has contributed to numerous advocacy, capacity building and landscape restoration projects for example the Annual SDG Runs, the annual Youth Conferences on Climate Change and Deserter Risk Reduction, the Rwizi Catchment Restoration Campaign, the Youth Climate Council, the Global Climate Strike in 2019, to mention but a few. Currently he is a student at Makerere University pursuing the award of Master of Science in Climate Change and Development.	The atrocities associated with climate change have become immense and costly in terms of losses of lives, property and infrastructure. Uganda contributes a minimal percentage to the global greenhouse gas emissions and yet our rural communities who solely depend on natural resources for their livelihood and survival stand at the frontline of the vagaries caused by climate change. Every increment of a degree is substantial and translates into increased risks. Nature and biodiversity loss, pollution and wastes are immediate threats than need to be delt with immediately. Ecosystem degradation damages nature’s ability to reduce the force of climate change. Additionally, Climate change also exacerbates grave risks to peace and security. The Conference of Parties to the UNFCCC is the highest global policy making summit for global climate action. It brings signatory governments together once a year to evaluate their efforts and discuss how to jointly address climate change. The conference is attended by world leaders, ministers, and negotiators but also by representatives from civil society, business, international organizations, and the media. It is where global decisions are made, a chance of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees, global emissions must halve by 2030 and reach ‘net-zero’ by 2050. Substantial challenge remains ensuring inclusivity and consideration of views from all segments of people in the world. A successful outcome in COP27 requires developed countries to honor the promise they made back in 2009 of mobilizing $100 billion per year by 2020 to support climate action in developing countries. Strengthening the ability to adapt to climate change impacts is another important element that needs to be well reflected in COP27, as is the question of how to deal with economic and non-economic harms caused by climate change impacts which cannot be avoided through adaptation or mitigation, known as “Loss and Damage”. If I get a chance to attend COP27, my discussions should focus on mobilizing climate finance but it is also important that parties make progress on other issues such as further operationalizing the Paris Agreement and Global Goal on Adaptation. I attended the Climate Diplomacy Academy Conference in Nairobi in 2021. I also successfully completed a training on Climate Governance, Negotiation and Leadership by the Africa Group of Negotiators and Expert Support which was virtual and now aspiring to be a full-fledged negotiator.

I can design protocols to international standards and have experience working with microorganisms at both soil and water levels and using various soil conditioners such as biochar. My current study works with specialist computer software to undertake studies and research. On a personal level, I am an extensive formal scientific education in microbiology-related subjects and am eager to continue learning. Right now, I am looking for a fantastic opportunity to take the next step on my scientific career ladder that will give me a chance to grow my role in any place.	It is recognized that climate change will affect most life on Earth, including microorganisms.  Although microorganisms are critical in regulating climate change, they are rarely the focus of climate change studies and are not considered in policy development.  Where microorganisms support the existence of all forms of food life. To understand how humans and other life forms on Earth (including those we have yet to discover) can withstand anthropogenic climate change, it is critical to incorporate knowledge of the 'invisible' microbial majority.  Therefore, we must realize, how microorganisms affect climate change (including production and consumption of greenhouse gases), and how they will be affected by climate change and other human activities.  This indicates the central role and global importance of microorganisms in the biology of climate change. Also, it also puts humanity on notice that the impact of climate change will depend heavily on the responses of microorganisms, which are essential to achieving an environmentally sustainable future.  As it is noted, the interest of human activities on the effects of climate change on the environment, the unprecedented extinction of animals and plants, and their negative impact on biodiversity, and how to restore life to animals and plants on Earth, and conducting good research on the losses of species and societies, documenting and publishing it.  On the contrary, microorganisms are not generally discussed in the context of climate change, especially the impact of climate change on microorganisms and ignorance of their positive role as well, as changes in biodiversity and microbial activities will affect the resilience of all other living organisms and thus their ability to response to climate change. It is because of their enormous diversity and varied responses to environmental change that defining their role in the ecosystem is challenging. This is illustrated by the links between microorganisms, visible organisms and climate change, and if we do not appreciate the importance of microbial processes, we fundamentally limit our understanding of the Earth's biosphere and response to climate change and thus jeopardize all efforts to create an environmentally sustainable future.  Therefore, the role of microorganisms in vital functions and ecosystem services, enhancing resistance to biotic and biotic stress, biological pests and disease control, enhancing plant growth and crop quality, increasing water use efficiency and reducing the use of chemical fertilizers, and its role also in biodegradation of organic matter must be studied. pollutants and reduce global warming.  Also its vital role in ecosystems: such as decomposition (decomposition is where animal or plant matter is broken down into more basic molecules), oxygen production, evolution, and symbiotic relationships.  Microorganisms have a wide potential in particular in the treatment and reduction of greenhouse gases through waste recycling, as they act as generators or users of these gases, thus reducing environmental risks caused by nature and mixed activity. In other words, you never see biogeochemical cycles and climatic changes.

Within my journey I have conducted a number of projects and activities that were aimed at protecting nature. With so much efforts in 2015 I was trained by the United Nations Children's Fund in partnership with the Wildlife and environmental conservation society of Zambia as a Unite4climate and Conservation ambassador for which this journey provided Key opportunities to work around on different topics such as Climate change Mitigation and Adaptation. In 2019 I was later elevated to the position of a Climate Change Facilitator which gave me a role to spearhead climate related programs conducted by UNICEF Zambia office. In 2020 I was recognized for my climate change hard work which made me be awarded an Environmental protection activist Award by the National Youth Development program Council. My journey have continued as I have been doing community radio shows and outreaches on climate change. Iam also mentoring University students who may wish to be climate change Activists and lately I founded an organization called Transformative Youths In Action, an organization that looks at transforming the lives of people that depend on Cutting down trees for survival so that they have other skills to do other environmentally friendly businesses	After watching my parents and my community face climate related challenges like drought and Floods at times gave me the courage to learn on ways that can help mitigate such challenges, I decided that when I was ready, I would take up the role of dialogue and lobby for better laws that will help in fighting for the environment laws that will regulate the use of fossil fuels and emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere by industries and mines. This this opportunity will provide me with a great plartform of networking, learning and sharing experiences and skills that will enable us as young people to bring ideas together that will be discussed to find lasting solutions to climate change thus giving me such an opportunity Will also build my dedicated life to mitigating climate change

Brainstorming with other environmentalists to come up with the solutions to the challenges facing the environment. My hobbies include Socializing- community work, volunteer work. Reading.	I intend to participate in the committee that chooses the ACMI climate solution that will be presented at COP 27 this year. Protecting persons who are on the move and enhancing African communities' resilience in the face of the climate disaster are two of the ACMI's goals. I want to attend the COP as a representative of the ACMI Youth Forum because of the ACMI's great work in Africa. Furthermore, young people's engagement in the COP is crucial since they will be the first to be impacted by the environmental and climate hazards they will encounter throughout their lifetimes. In order to develop and implement climate solutions that will benefit my nation and all of Africa, I will be able to draw on the immense expertise, inventiveness, and enthusiasm of other young people. I am an active community advocate. I am good at networking and communicating, so I can collaborate with other young people and present and share our ideas.

I have volunteered for Linda Arts Organization which addresses matters affecting the community through Arts. I have also volunteered for Youth for green Action Kenya which focuses on climate change and environmental conservation. I am currently working with Community Shakenisho development organization as a monitoring and evaluation officer. Shakenisho Organization is based in Narok south and addresses matters affecting the community and climate change.	This opportunity is the best for me, I will be able to explore more on my career, gain new skills and knowledge, create new networks and connections. I will gain more insights on climate mobility and learn how to help solve the poor climatic conditions at my environment. I come from a community which largely practices deforestation, cutting down of trees for charcoal burning. This has affected the rain patterns and has led to drought in my community. We came together as a group of young people and introduced bee keeping as an alternative source of income and introduced the community members on value addition techniques. This has helped reduce the number of trees being cut down. This opportunity will grant me an avenue to learn new ideas, to interact and exchange ideas and to be challenged with fellow youth who are putting efforts to ensure against climate change. Through new knowledge and skills learn I will be able to help my community more
1675	Nellie	Langat	WeCare Youth Community-Based Organization.	https://preventgbvafrica.org/member/wecare-community-based-organization/	I am a vibrant youth leader who has been vocal and engaged on grass-root mobilization on issues pertaining to politics, governance, leadership and other developmental agendas in my ward i.e Kilgoris Central-Narok County albeit on limited resources. I have also presented myself to be elected as an area Member of County Assembly. As a youth leader I have been actively involved in initiatives like ‘VIJANA ACTION’ whose motive is to enhance cultural, socio-economic agenda and promotion of active participation of the youth in leadership and governance within the county. The aspect also commits to build capacity for the youth through ‘SKIZA FORA’ where they interact and share ideas on issues affecting them and come up with best approaches to solve them. Since the youth have good business ideas, I have engaged the county leadership, area local leaders and various stakeholders to support them in financing their startups. I have also been actively engaged with women on matters affecting their day to day lives, their families and cultural practices that have for a long time been overtaken by time. At the national level, with like-minded friends we have been involved on issues related to girl-child like ‘SAVE A GIRL BUY A PAD’ in Marigat – Baringo County etc. I have also been in the frontline organizing both youth and women to register their self-help groups so that they can access government funding. At the national level, I have been vocal on topical issues on politics, leadership, governance and youth affairs, in which I have featured in the local media shows both Television and Radio.	As a youth advocate from a pastoralist community, I am passionate about leadership, policy formulation, governance and youth affairs. COP27 will give me invaluable experience and enrich my profile. It will also be an opportunity for me to share about electric mobility becoming a norm not just in Kenya, but Africa and the world at large as this will unlock thousands of new decent jobs, manage our unsustainable cost of fuel and contribute immensely to better health. It is for this reason why Kenya and Africa’s leaders need to act speedily to enact and implement numerous pivotal electric car-friendly policies. For local electric mobility to thrive, there is need for a corresponding local production of advanced batteries. That would significantly reduce electric vehicles’ cost. With the right incentives, Kenya can attract multi-billion-shilling investments into local production of advanced batteries. Even more relevant for Kenya and other African countries, electric motorbikes and motorcycles are now becoming accessible for ordinary consumers. Considering that motorcycle business is one of Kenya’s mainstays, there is a massive market for e-bikes. Their main attraction is their affordability to maintain which is why existing local makers must be fully supported. Against this backdrop, Honda which is the world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer, plans to introduce 10 or more electric motorcycle models globally by 2025. Further to this, it aims to increase annual sales of electric models to 1 million units within the next five years. This speaks to the broad market opportunities of electric mobility. Just as is the case with electric cars, generous tax incentives will go a long way in enabling and expanding local production of electric motorcycles. Cop 27 will also enable me to learn, meet and network with other youthful and world leaders who are also passionate about climate justice, decarbonisation, biodiversity and a future we all want and feel safe.

I can say now that I have a strong background in electrical and mechanical engineering. This strong knowledge comes from the engineering courses and advanced engineering courses, such as power systems, power electronics, electric machines, power plant technology, optics and photonics, aerodynamics, and rotor aerodynamics, advanced thermodynamics, advanced control systems, machine design, fluid mechanics, advanced circuits design, computer aided design, heat transfer, mechanical vibration, mechanics of material, and renewable energy systems. in addition to my final year courses which are in usually taught in master level such as advanced generator control, photovoltaic systems, wind energy, smart grid, thermal solar energy, Energy Conservation & Efficiency, and Renewable Energy Law & Economics. All this academic knowledge in parallel with economic, business, and leadership skills, and this summer I finished Be an ambassador program by the Ministry of Planning and Economic Development, and the National Institute of Governance and Sustainable Development, and it is accredited by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), to certify and prepare SDG's ambassadors. also finished professional TOT level with Ministry of Planning and Economic Development, and the National Institute of Governance and Sustainable Development also.	I'm so interested in cop 27 and its goals, as I'm studying renewable energy and how it can affect climate change. Energy is considered the most potential candidate which has a vital impact on global economic growth. Various causes, including, the growth of population and modernization are going to increase global energy consumption the usage of energy in developed countries is rising at 1% per year, on the contrary, the developing countries the growth reaches up to 5% per year. According to the International Energy Agency, the amount of energy required would more than double by 2020. Nowadays, all of the world's countries believe that renewable energy is a viable alternative to traditional energy sources. The significant economic and environmental benefits of using renewable energy have increased global demand for investing in and improving power production as it has zero carbon dioxide emissions, is infinitely available, and is free of charge.
1677	Cynthia	Wangui	Afro-delegates Organization	www. Afrodelegate.org	My name is Cynthia Stephany Wangui, an ambitious young girl from Kenya, a girl who believes in taking risks, and not just for her own self benefits, but for the greater good of the society. They say that if you educate one girl, you educate the whole community. Mine is to make this quote a reality. Cynthia is a girl who strongly operates on servant- leadership, faith and discipline. Born and raised as the first born daughter of an African family, instilled with Christian morals and principles from childhood. I was born on the 18th of November 2001, in a town known as Eldoret in Kenya. My able mother Mary Nyambura Waitiki, took up the role of both father and mother to raise me up to the lady, I am today. She has been the perfect role model in my life, and has done it all to see me study from kindergarten to the university currently , to provide for my food, clothing, shelter and at the same time put a smile on my face. Growing up, I've had exemplary results in my academic life, my mother calls me her little Einstein. As early as a first grade, I began leading in my class, with my favorite subject being social studies and English. As years past by, my overall grade dropped due to lower marks on the other subjects which lead to an imbalance. I therefore had to pull up my socks if I wanted to get to the university level. My determination to excel taught me one thing; it's a matter of attitude and perception, how you think determines your life. The belief that Math and Science was easier to the boys and harder for girls, was poisonous to our minds. The truth is, these subjects have nothing to do with gender societal roles, you can achieve anything if you have the right attitude and will to work towards it. I myself am I living proof of this thesis, in high school I started off poorly in mathematics and Biology, but at the end of my final exam, I managed to have an overall grade of A- not to mention that Math and Biology were my booster subjects. Geography remained to be constant as my favorite subject, in fact I was the only person to get an clean A in my high school during the Kenya National Exam of Secondary Education. Having excelled in my exams, I was able to get enrolled in a University of my choice, to do a Bachelor's degree of my choice; which is International Relations and Security Studies. I love what I'm studying, and I endeavor to apply it practically as early as now by seeking any opportunity I get, such as being a youth delegate for Africa Climate Youth Mobility, and have the privilege of attending COP 27.	It would be an honor for me to attend the 27th United Nations Climate Change Conference which will be happening this year in our mother land Africa, precisely in Cairo, Egypt. With my zealous spirit of Pan-Africanism, it would be a dream come true to represent my country Kenya as a youth delegate in the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative. Being a student of International Relations and Security Studies, I have interacted with terms such as climate change, the conference of parties (COP27), United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and Paris agreement more often than not. Therefore, attending the conference would be an opportunity for the rubber to finally meet the road. There’s no doubt that climate change has become a peril in the international plane today, and Africa is not an exception. For the longest time the north-eastern part of Kenya has suffered from drought and famine, which has threatened almost all aspects of security such as human security, food security and environmental security. Majority of the population are surviving on dirty water which is also rare to find, leading to dehydration of both human beings and animals. Starvation being the leading effect of harsh weather conditions such as drought, Kenya is losing 15% of its population per month. This in turn reduces human labor leading to low GDP per capita for Kenya. The fact is that this is not only happening in Kenya, but in Africa and the whole world, there is need to address the issue on climate mobility together at an international level and come up with long-term solutions.
1678	Elizabeth Worku	Woldegiorgis	School		I am Elizabeth Worku Woldegiorgis. I am 15 years old. I never really knew about climate change up until a few years ago. I was reading a book when I heard a person with so much spirit talking on the television. My curiosity was peaked so I went to see who it was. It was a girl called Gretta Thunberg. She was talking about climate change and what she said really peaked my interest. So I decided to do more research on the topic and it really amazed me. All that it was talking about was what I could feel. For instance, how the temperature has noticeably increased. That was the day everything changed. So far I was the vice president for a discovery club in school where we would come up with prototypes and gizmos that may help with effects of climate change . My group was nominated to enter a national competition where we got position 2. We could not participate internationally but that did not stop us from achieving the goals of the club. I am currently recruiting a strong team that I will leave to carry on with our objective as I am currently about to sit for our Junior School Leaving Examination at the end of the year.	I have always been a curious child. Wondering why things were the way they were. One day, I wondered why it felt as if the temperature was getting warmer every year. So I remember searching it then the first answer I got was global warming and climate change. I have already heard these words before so I took them lightly. However, as I continued scrolling, I saw a video talking about forest fires that I had never heard of before. This kept me invested as I love animals and these forest fires were killing their habitats as well as them. This devastated me so I tried to do everything in my power to reduce global warming which will reduce forest fires henceforth saving the innocent animals
1679	Pascal	Shuro	Sustainable Green Environment Initiative (SGE)	https://sgeinitiative.org/	My name is Pascal Shuro, and I'm 24 years old. I am a Zimbabwean student pursuing a B.Sc. in Geography and Environmental Studies at Midlands State University. My particular interests include environmental law, management, ESG reporting, and sustainable finance. I am currently employed as an environmental consultant at Muku Sustainable Investments, where I am responsible for the preparation of bid proposals, mapping, biodiversity assessments, and report writing. In addition, I am an ambassador for ANGA (African Green Ambassadors), Climate Reality Corps, and I recently accepted a program management internship with SGE Initiative. I have vast experience in environmental and social safeguards and also possess property valuations. During my third year, I managed to get an internship at Newton Property Consultancy and Waterkings Environmental Consultancy firm, two of the biggest firms in property valuations and environmental consultancy in Zimbabwe, respectively. I enjoy learning new things in my spare time, and I have well over fifty CPDs in areas such as sustainable financing, environmental legislation, management, sustainable development, gender empowerment, and safety and health. These are with reputable online institutions such as UNFCC-Learn, Colombia University(EDX), ADBI, UNPAN, ILO, and others. In addition, have professional certificates in safety, health, and environmental impact assessments with the Ministry of Mines Zimbabwe and SAIOSH. In addition, I am an environmental activist who produces podcasts and writes articles about environmental issues in my spare time.	Dear Madam/Sir Cyclone Idai has had a direct influence on me; my relatives on my mother's side live in Chimanimani and were displaced. The climate-related hazard caused me to lose two of our nieces, and it was a difficult time for me and my family. Their assets were destroyed, and all of their crops in the fields were destroyed. Furthermore, I come from Masvingo Gutu, specifically Chiwara village, which is experiencing climate change-related effects. It is experiencing more adverse temperature and rainfall changes. The situation in Masvingo province has impacted me directly, my parents are in their old age and reside in the rural practising subsistence farming. However, due to changes in climatic conditions, the area’s local economy and livelihoods have been impacted heavily. Specifically, my parent’s food reserves have been affected, and this has made us chip in more and installs a borehole for them. The situation has given me a better understanding that climate change can have an impact on societal issues the way people live, where they live and what they consume. Conferences of Parties meetings are key to driving global environmental policies. My interest areas are environmental legislation, management and sustainable finance, hence such a meeting tallies with my areas of interest. In addition, attending such a meeting is of importance to me because such a meeting gets me to share experiences and acquire knowledge from various experts, researchers, and youth leaders from different parts of the world. Hence, the expansion of my understanding of climate change adaptation, mitigation, mobility and other issues will be some of the positive takeaways from attending such a meeting. Furthermore, such an opportunity will allow me to grow field-based, as connections from such meetings are explicitly important. More so, coming from the dusty streets of Dzivarasekwa such an opportunity will be key to my progression and later life adventures. I am looking forward to your favourable response. Yours Faithfully Pascal Shuro

My name is Elvira Khwatenge. I am a computer science student and environmental sustainability advocate applying to be a delegate at the COP27 Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum. I aim to explore the opportunities of collaborating within and outside my field to engage with stakeholders actively and enhance my appreciation for talent, experience, and diversity and make the earth a better place through sustainable climate frameworks and lifestyles. In addition, this year's theme," climate mobility," is attractive because I bring a technological perspective to address climate change with professional experience in developing and developed countries in diverse workgroups. I am passionate about sustainable living and leadership practices in areas such as consumption and transportation because they significantly contribute to the carbon footprint. Therefore, I intend to get further knowledge and ideas in these areas. While I did not take any academic courses in environment or sustainability, I was fortunate enough to pursue studies in computer science with minor studies in business and bring an interdisciplinary approach to climate mobility. My professional experiences enhanced my knowledge and understanding of how academic and government institutions as climate change stakeholders are interested in this issue and their actions to be part of the cause. I desire to assist them in understanding the newer and innovative ways they can engage to mitigate climate change. Previously I developed an interactive game that depicts Maasai Mara in Kenya, my favorite park. Players would learn about climate change by being in a national park they haven't visited before and remain informed about complex topics like climate. It will be an honor to share these tools with communities at the COP27 forum. In addition, I worked closely with a colleague who is an environmental expert. We designed and developed content for simple leaflets with information about climate, pollution, and sustainable living, distributed to trainees in the teacher training workshops. In 2017-2018, I expanded the awareness to high school students with whom I offered robotics mentorship under the wings of young Scientists Kenya programs. I proposed a module and hackathon that seeks to address climate change for this category. There were innovative projects to implement the Paris climate agreement among students between 14-18 years old, boys and girls, in various regions of Kenya. The environmental awareness benefited over 5000 adults and over 8000 students within two years. I believe in the strategy of each one teaching one because it is practical, affordable, and effortless and boasts individual responsibility on climate issues. These are valuable moments for me because of the exposure they offer me. If selected for this program, I want to use my opportunity at COP27 to enrich my future studies and career by allowing me to expand my contribution to the East African region. Moreover, I consider this conference an opportunity to connect with Egyptian culture and cities.
1681	Holylight	Issangya	Makerere University		I'm Holylight, (25) currently a technology innovation and industrial development masters student at Makerere University. I'm so obsessed with technologies and innovation. I love trying new things and create solutions to world pressing challenges such as climate change, gender equality and education just to mention a few. I'm so much convinced innovation and technology is the best way to tackle the climate dilemma that the globe is currently facing.	Climate data are shocking, amount of carbon daily emitted is discouraging, melting of ice in the top room of Africa (Mt Kilimanjaro) is alarming. I remember seeing ice on top of Mt Kilimanjaro as I was in school back in the days, but today It's no longer attractive and clearly seen as it used to be. Things have completely changed. I'm challenged to use modern technologies and innovation to produce a prototype than will help reduce carbon emissions in industries in my city to conserve the biodiversity. As an African youth I have a role to play and practically demonstrate my contribution. This conference will therefore be the best platform for me.
1682	Emmanuel	Ntale	Uganda Red Cross Society	https://www.redcrossug.org/	Emmanuel Ntale is the Technical Lead, Climate Action and Environment Unit, at Uganda Red Cross Society (URCS). He leads the establishment of the Climate Action and Environment Unit at URCS. The Unit seeks to offer programmatic leadership and coordination under the three themes; Climate Change Adaptation, Mitigation, and Cross Cutting (Climate Change and Health, Youth and Training and Outreach). With over 7 years of experience working with youth on issues of climate change, Emmanuel supports refugee operations and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) who in Uganda are currently mainly due to climate-induced disasters. He previously worked at Family Health International\|FHI360 under the Auspice of Makerere University Centre for Climate Change Research and Innovations (MUCCRI), Kampala (Uganda) supporting the implementation of USAID/Uganda Education and Research to Improve Climate Change Adaptation (ERICCA) - Activity as Youth Programs Associate where he worked directly with over one thousand hundred (1000) youths within various universities, schools and out-of-school. He is the founder of Makerere University Climate Change Association (MUCCA). A youth network on climate action. He is the founder and CEO of Leaf and Learn Uganda, a youth-led organization that aims to Educate, Inspire and Empower the young generations to join the fight against climate change.	It is with great interest that I want to be part of the ACMI Youth Forum delegate for the upcoming COP27. Throughout my education and work tenures, I have enjoyed working with and inspiring the youth to take action on climate change and on environmental degradation to create a positive impact in the communities. My interest in climate change was stirred up in 2011 after I attended a public dialogue on climate change, the alarming rate of deforestation, and the role of the youth in Uganda. As a first-year forestry student. I felt I could use my skills to help the situation. To actualize this dream, together with my friends started a student’s association, Makerere University Climate Change Association (MUCCA) from which I became the president of the association. The association later became the largest grass-root university students’ (youth) body contending the issues of climate change. In 2016, I acquired a formal position as a Youth program Associate at Family Health International (FHI360) under a USAID-funded project on Education and Research to Improve Climate Change Adaptation Activity (ERICCA). Through this $4,000,000 funded project, I spearhead over 1000 youth categories across six (6) universities, out-of-school youth, and children on climate change education using innovative teaching-learning-aids and implementing locally-led adaptation initiatives. The project exposed me to global dialogues on youth Climate change including participating in the UNFCCC Conference of the Youth (COY12, 2016) in Marrakech, Morocco. After the ERICCA project ended, I voluntarily sustained the youth networks and youth-led activities that lasted beyond the project frame. With no funding, this was majorly through leadership and inspiring the youth to keep on with the climate action. In 2018, I joined the Uganda Red Cross Society, with my role as Technical Lead, Climate Action, and Environment Unit. I directly support over 500,000 youth volunteers across 51 branches country-wide to implement locally led adaptation and other climate-related activities i.e CODE: RED, Climate Changed Me campaign (IFRC), Y-Adapt, Pre-COP workshop with Youth Go-Green, CBA16 workshop, reviewing environment-related solferino applications among others. At the Red Cross, I directly support operations at the forefront of refugee influxes and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) by climate-induced disasters. Uganda is one of the largest refugee-hosting nations in the world, with 1,528,057 refugees (as of 31 July 2022). Additionally, Uganda is experiencing more destructive climate-induced disasters including landslides, floods, drought, and lake water level raise. In the last three decades, heavy rains and flooding have increased the number of internally displaced people. In 2007, the El Nino climatic phenomenon that was characterized by intensive rainfall and flooding in Eastern and other parts of Uganda displaced 480,000people temporarily. In 2019 alone, more than 850 people were displaced and other 51 died, when mudslides hit Bukalasi and Buwali sub-counties in the Bududa district. I believe the ACMI Youth delegate is a great platform to amplify the voices of the voiceless, and share the vast experiences and the pain of the damage.
1683	OGECHUKWU BOB	NWEKE	Timobless Resources Company		I am a dedicated professional with experience on Enviroental management and HSE. . However, I am keen to learn new ideas. I studied at Abia state university Uturu. And certified on occupational health and safety. A Nigerian by birth, Rivers state to be precise.	Yes, my motivation is basically as an Environmental professional, it has to do with climate related challenges. Because as an Environmentalist I have to know the activities/ operations that causes climate is and how to prevent and manage this issues and unlock solutions to these challenges.
1684	KATE	GITHAIGA	TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF KENYA	https://www.tukenya.ac.ke	My name is Kate Njeri Githaiga, A Kenyan citizen and a final year part time student at the Technical University of Kenya, School of Civil and Construction Engineering pursing a Bachelor of Technology in Civil Engineering. I hold a Diploma in Civil Engineering from the Kenya Technical Trainers College and currently a construction site supervisor at Otekra Builders Limited. I am passionate about creating environmental and climatic impacts and I am currently doing my end course project and research in wastewater management. Through my role as a site supervisor, I was able to plan, implement and successfully complete a water treatment project in TATU CITY that is located in Kiambu, Kenya that was built to ensure access to clean water to the communities.	As a youth and woman in engineering, I am motivated to be an impactful geared individual towards contributing my input with regard to sustainable development goal number 13 i.e., Climate action through improving the advocacy for green built environment and also rehabilitation of existing infrastructures in the cities and my country at large. Being a member of the Women in Real Estate (WiRE) in Kenya, I have participated in social projects that involved creating awareness in the construction industry on the importance of using low carbon concrete as concrete production is responsible for significant carbon emissions that potentially contributes to the long-term climate change. I am an active member of the Kazi Kwa Vijana group that means "work to the youth", a program by the Kenyan Government to ensure clean living neighborhoods. We collect waste and plant trees in the surrounding neighborhood and recycle and reuse plastic wastes as we seek to reduce plastic pollution on land and prolong the economic value of used material. Youth unemployment being a major concern in my country, I would like to be part of the initiative program so as to learn and benchmark and have a diverse mentality on how to create informative and financial generating incomes through working towards climate change across the regions in the country and create an accommodating environment to the next generations. This can be done through formation of youth programs innovating smart agriculture techniques and smart clean energy technologies that will result to the growth of industries which addresses challenges of youth unemployment, poverty and climate change. Concerns have risen about potential impacts of climate mobility as it has had potential impacts of change on human mobility that addresses the reason of migration. In Kenya areas such as Turkana,Garissa, Wajir, Mandera and parts of Nandi experience very high temperatures that result to the movement of people to urban areas like Nakuru, Eldoret and Meru which are surrounding areas that have better climatic conditions. The main reason of migration is drought as agricultural production is minimal in the areas thus the people are dependent on relief food that is supplied by the Kenyan Government. As an Individual who grew up in Nandi area due to the location of employment of my parents, I faced climate mobility related problems as learning was difficult in the afternoon due to the high temperatures and learning was compromised .This led to our migration as we sort for better education in the urban areas in bearable climatic conditions I aspire to be a force, a leader, an implementor and a mentor to the young generation and advocate for solutions through my immediate leaders-workers and the society at large so as the government can channel its support and contribution towards climate change and youth participation.

I am currently an official of the Provincial Coordination of the Environment, a researcher and teaching assistant at the Catholic University of Bukavu, an expert in charge of the management of the Environment and Climate Change at the Center for Research, Conflict Analysis and Governance "Angaza Institute" based in South Kivu in DR Congo. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)With my experience in environmental research and teaching, I am motivated to take part in the United Nations Climate Change Conference (Sharm el-Sheikh Conference, COP27). The mission of the conference is to contribute to the adaptation and mitigation of climate change, whose chain of consequences spares no one and affects all areas of life. The problem of the management of tropical forests in general and Congolese forests in particular is one of my concerns. This program is relevant to my work on climate change and environmental management, mainly in developing countries. Participating in COP27 will allow me to share what we are doing in the framework of capacity building of women (students and rural women) on adaptation and mitigation to the effects of climate change in the Democratic Republic of Congo, particularly in South Kivu Province. In addition, this participation will allow me to improve my skills in the sustainable management of Congolese forest ecosystems and especially in my daily work for the benefit of local communities, especially those surrounding the Kahuzi-Biega National Park (in DR Congo). Concretely, taking part in this program will allow me to contribute to: (1) building knowledge on climate change mitigation and adaptation measures, (2) improving the management of forest resources, especially in the context of developing countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, and (3) finding solutions to environmental problems in developing countries. We will carry the voice of local communities, especially their doubts about access to carbon credits. After the COP27, when we return to our country, we plan to organize a session restitution for our students and rural women of South Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo. We will organize sharing sessions, radio and TV broadcasts and even space on Twitter in order to reach a large audience and raise awareness on the recommendations of the COP27. It will also be our opportunity to remind the participants of the different activities we will organize about the ambitions of the Democratic Republic of Congo related to the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC), the REDD+ as well as the environmental policy of the DR Congo. This will allow participants to know the recommendations of the COP27 and to accompany the Democratic Republic of Congo in its quest for a climate change solution.
1686	Ahmad	kamaleldeen	Youth advisor	https://www.facebook.com/YouthAdvisorProgram	Am a fourth year mechanical engineering student in Sudan University of Science & Technology (SUST), one of the most prestigious universities in Sudan and the leading one in the domain of engineering in the country. I have earned myself a micro diploma in advanced English communication skills plus I have worked as apart-time English language instructor to acquire teaching experience and showcase my public speaking skills. Since I was young I loved learning languages especially English and French, and after I achieved the status of multilingualism (speak Arabic, English and French), I can vividly see the amount of chances offered in the international landscape, it helped me to fathom different cultures and engage with various nationalities. As student I look at things differently, I did not believe in the idea of limiting oneself to one specialization, because the human being is a versatile being and capable of multitasking. Volunteerism gave me the chance to experience different jobs and accumulate considerable amount of experience. My volunteering career stretches over two years, I started by simple volunteering for gathering money for charity, and then developed to holding managerial positions, my only goal to add value to the world and lives of others. I have founded a campus based association specialized in teaching languages to disadvantaged students, it identified as a non-profit and student-run organization, it has presented various workshop about the learning different language and which languages to target in order to advance their career. And this one of the service we have and some services we have delivered: https://fb.watch/fIrehzk-1g/ One other achievement is successfully joining the projects management office of a local organization despite the heavy competition and here is my appointment post: https://fb.watch/fIrehzk-1g/-	My family originates from northern Darfur state from a small town named Kutum, when the war broke in Darfur in 2004, whereas atrocities were committed and human massacres took place, small villages and towns burnt to the ground, a wound in the heart of Darfur was opened that still dripping blood till this day. The aftermath of this war: many people were displaced and became homeless, the government was helpless towards their situation and unable to secure them safety nor food and shelter, the NGOS came to the rescue, they supplied these families with little they could to help them get back up in their feet, my family was lucky we had relocated to Khartoum before the war, but my parent used to send us in the vacations to spend time with our extent family. I have seen with my own eyes the suffering in the displaced camps and how NGO and civil community organizations helped mitigating the war aftermath, volunteerism was in the heart of all that. But what inspired me the most is my father who founded an organization back in 2013, he sent many caravans, before stopping three years ago because of lack of funding. I believe the climate change is as dangerous as war to the world despite the lack of my contribution in this field am welling to give all if the chance arises.
1687	Josephat	Masanja	African Youth in Action Foundation	https://ayapoa.com	I’m Josephat Masanja male aged 27 years. I was born in one of pastoral society (Sukuma tribe) located lake zone regions, Mwanza- Tanzania. Professionally, I’m an agricultural extension graduate diploma in general agriculture in 2019 and later a bachelor's degree in 2022 from Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA)- Tanzania. In my lifetime, I have been working in the agriculture sector both in the crop and livestock sectors for over 20 years, my family adapted and is practicing an agricultural mode of life by depending upon crops, cattle, sheep, and goats as sources of livelihood. Professionally, I have five years of experience working as an Agricultural Consultant and Agricultural Policy Pundit at Malembo Farm company and Ayapoa Group in Tanzania. I have successfully developed and managed a lot of agricultural projects in Tanzania that in turn contributed to getting the nomination of the upcoming Kilimo Marathon Award on September 2022, as “Agricultural influencer of the year 2022”. I have been participating in youth dialogue and agricultural policy analysis, on June 2022 I participated Annual Agricultural Policy Conference (AAPC) to discuss "Climate change adaptation and mitigation policies in the crop, livestock and fisheries sectors"; on 20th August 2022, I participated exclusive interview via TBC television to reveal the history of Tanzania's agriculture sector and the 100 years’ contribution of the late JK Nyerere. I also participated in Regional consultations on climate change and pastoralism. I like reading books and publishing research papers. In 2020, I published one book on “Agripreneurship” and won the SUA award, as “The Best author of the year 2021”.	MOTIVATION (not more than 500 words) I would like to join ACMI Youth Forum because of my experience and passion for mitigating the effects of climate change and various variability which compromise the majority of farmers' livelihoods. With over 20 years of experience born in a pastoral society (Sukuma tribe) located lake zone, Mwanza -Tanzania. ACMI Youth Forum will allow me to join youth with experience in the agriculture sector to review the existing agricultural policies for issues aimed at enhancing farmers’ resilience and compare these with field realities based on our past experiences. Experiences, knowledge, and skills that will be shared in the youth forum will nurture my livestock management and consultation skills and insight to enable me to globally and practically apply climate smart-based solutions in solving climate change effects for improved agricultural production, climate, and system resilience. This will also strengthen my ability to apply practical Climate Smart Agriculture in agriculture production and consultation activities. On 6th-8th June 2022, I attended the Annual Agriculture Conference (AAPC) out of 150 professionals who attended physicals at Dodoma- Tanzania. This is the biggest conference in the country organized by the Policy Analysis Group (PAG). The theme of the conference was “climate change adaptation and mitigation policies in the crops, livestock and fisheries sectors”. In the thematic area (4) we discussed facilitating water, pasture, and feed availability for livestock and climate resilience. also, at a regional consultation event that was held in Kenya to develop vision pastoralist youth 2026, I learned a lot about the issues related to adaptation and mitigation strategies to fight against climate change. The Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) gives me a chance to conduct youth dialogue to discuss the constraints of downtrodden youth participation in agriculture and present feedback to the department of policies and planning (MoA) led by Mr. Revelian Ngaiza. I liked this project and I am keen to continue on it. I would like to use this knowledge after youth consultation to continue with youth dialogue to support youth redefine the challenges that hinder their participation in the agriculture sector and support the professional integration of pastoralist youth in terms of land and resource management, access to citizens’ rights and structural change to solve their problems. Also, through social media, Radio, and TV interviews I will continue to fuel debate that can inform political dialogue around peasants and pastoralism, and youth in the world. I would very much like to be selected to attend the ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27. This would give me a chance to deepen my consultation knowledge and inspire other youth in the sector. I am confident that my experience in the agriculture sector is extremely exciting and valuable both for self-development and overall general development.

He is a writer and an educator. He uses education as a tool to fix challenges relating to Health Safety and the Environment. He believes that education is a very important tool for combating issues of climate change and that the youth should be readily educated about their duties at all levels. His passion to see that youths in Africa are informed about the issues of climate change, led to the co-conception of The Redefinition, a climate change movement, and network that educate African youths about climate change and its effects and point them to sustainable solutions which include waste to wealth and renewable energy. His vision includes creating a healthy world for this current generation and the future generation and providing the right information using quality education.	As a young African who is passionate about Climate change and ensuring that our environment is safe to live in, and having co-founded The Redefinition; a climate change awareness movement for African youths, I believe that my attendance at the COP27 through the ACMI will allow me to be involved in the global climate discussion that affects me and everyone in my community regarding Climate rules and policies. I live in South-south Nigeria and very close to Port Harcourt, where illegal gas flaring takes place, occupants in this area are faced with lots of health impacts, flooding, and environmental hazards due to this. It is no news that Africa is more susceptible to the adverse effect of Climate change yet, the government is silent about it and, the youths are reluctant to act, many of whom are not even aware of the devastating effect it has on our future. The Redefinition seeks to enlighten these youth about all of these and how we can take action and point us to businesses that promote environmental sustainability. Being an ACIM youth delegate for COP27 will expose me to a global network in which I am certain that I would learn and share ideas with other young climate activists. I would like to debate the challenges of Climate change, discuss my journey in the climate sect, rethink strategies for implementing sustainable solutions of how youths can be actively involved and proactive in climate discussions and activities, and collaboratively partner with other young leaders from all over the world to ensure swift climate awareness and remediation, and I would like to share my thoughts on how Education and Awareness at the local level should be prioritized, and discuss its execution. These are my motivations for applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27.

I am very fluent in English both written and spoken. I also speak French and German with little Japanese. I am holding a BSC degree from Egypt Japan University of Science and Technology (EJUST); Chemical and Petrochemical Engineering Department 2022. I have participated in numerous local and international competitions such as Hult Prize competition, Enactus. Moreover, I participated in organizing international events such as: TEDxEJUST and (second & 3rd) International Conference of Chemical, Energy and Environmental Engineering (ICCEEE). I have already published a research in my first graduation project as I fabricated an eco-friendly membrane to remove dyes from industrial wastewater.I am currently applying for a MSc. Degree in Cairo University and I am preparing to publish my first patent in my second graduation project where I processed a new lubricant oil fully based on non-edible oil.	I have lived in Sultanate of Oman for many years before I returned to Egypt. I was there when Cyclone Gonu hit; destroying the infrastructure and causing a long term close down. I wished I were older to be able to volunteer in helping people throughout the lockdown. Since then, I became addicted to the environment; I conducted two graduation projects producing an eco-friendly solution for industrial problems as well as participating in "Go Green" initiatives. I have also attended numerous conferences on environment related issues. I believe that volunteering in such a huge event would improve my skills, knowledge and shorten the way to achieve my goal.
1690	Esther	Kimani	Farmer Lifeline Technologies	https://www.farmerlifeline.co.ke/	Esther Wanjiru is a Computer Scientist by profession and an agriprenuer by passion. She holds a bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Computer Science. Her endeavors to be part of the Kenyan youths making an impact in the agricultural sector begun after her campus studies where she sought to find solutions to problems in the agricultural sector through technology. She upholds agriculture as the backbone of the economy which should be jealously guarded and a supporter of the youth taking up the agricultural sector. She is the founder of Farmer Lifeline Technologies home to the crop pests and disease detection device where she and her team strive to get small-holder farmers ahead of pests and diseases. Through this device farmers contribute to the carbon farming approach by applying carbon-negative chemicals and adaptive agriculture in Kenya. She has received a number of awards and recognition for her innovation such as the honorary recognition by H.E. Paul Kagame for her tremendous work in Agri-Tech. She is one of this year's winners of the Go-Gettaz award and Pitch Agrihack Award during the AGRF Summit that took place in Kigali, Rwanda last month. Her efforts in have also been recognized by AWIEF community in the Agriprenuer award held in Cairo, Egypt.	Every year, global emissions due to agriculture average 9.3 billion tonnes of CO2. This is because most synthetic fertilizers and farm chemicals are normally made using fossil fuels, emitting 2.55 kg and 1.85 kg of carbon dioxide per kg. Carbon emissions from fertilizers and chemicals applied in agricultural farms account for almost 24% of the total Greenhouse gas emissions. This is according to a report by FAO (https://www.fao.org/3/cb3808en/cb3808en.pdf). This is because when farmers apply these synthetic fertilizers and farm chemicals, chains of chemical reactions generate nitrous Oxide or N2O among other greenhouse gasses. Our device does not only notify farmers when crop pests, crop diseases and pathogens are identified, but also sends a text message to the farmer for recommendation of locally-available, carbon-negative and health-friendly fertilizer and farm chemicals that the farmer should apply to curb the crop disease or crop pest detected by the device. Our data has shown that fertilizers and farm chemicals suggested by our device have the capacity to sequester 1.35 tonnes of CO2 per acre while improving crop yields in Africa, greatly contributing to reduction of global warming emanating from agricultural sector. The recommendations from our device to the farmers have also drastically encouraged farmers towards carbon farming since the device only recommends carbon-negative farm chemicals and farm fertilizers. My motivations for applying as a delegate are; 1. Through this forum, we will be able to learn more about farmers from other countries and how we can expand our carbon farming impact. 2. Through the Forum also, we will be able to interact with many stakeholders from Governmental and non-governmental organizations from other countries. This will create a very good platform for us to learn new initiatives and approaches in agriculture that address climate mobility in Africa and other parts of the world.

This is one marginalized areas in the country with very scarce population. Climate change has been an enormous threat to the lives of many people living in my community which is the main motivation as to why I am applying to become an ACMI youth forum delegate. Ideally the reason why communities have conflict is because of the limited resources and in my community the limited resource is water and the calamity is drought and with extended drought the water becomes minimal which leads to communities conflicting over the resources bringing out the aspect of climate related conflict. If the issues of climate change are sorted, if the community members are taught about techniques that they can use to produce foder,digging of shallow wells as most of the communities conflicting border the River Tana but they don’t have the skills on how they can dig shallow wells to sustain the water shortage problem. I am applying to become an ACMI youth forum delegate as I have the experience of how climate Change has increased the amount of conflicts in my community, communities who have been affected by drought try to penetrate into the land of other highland communities in search of greener pastures hence the conflicts. This is seen by the Borana and Somali communities in Garissa county who have been in constant battles due to this movements. I work as a volunteer for Silver Lining Kenya and through IRI (International Republican Institute) which is our support donor we have been able to create conflict mitigation committees that bring together community members to first of all understand what climate change is, to talk to them about how climate change has changed the rain patterns in the area, training them on climate related conflicts as they are on the rise at the moment and are going to rise in the future due to the long droughts. We are also trying to reach out to women because they are highly affected by climate conflicts as they are the ones left in this climate dilapidated areas left to take care of the families as men move to look for greener pastures. The women might in some cases be forced to walk for many kilometers in search for water and face risks of getting raped and that is a challenge. For me as a young person getting into this space it is very important to be part of conversations advocating for climate change as I am experiencing climate change impacts at the community level and to also bring my ideas. I would like to also understand how Africa is going to be part of Continents that will cascade climate related justice deep down into the communities
1692	Shroouk Magdy ElAshmawy Ahmed ElMorsy	Ramadan	Cairo University	http://fa-arch.cu.edu.eg/en/index.html	My name is Shroouk Ramadan , I am 24 years old, and live in Egypt, I consider myself a lucky person to live between two different cities specifically the cultural aspect. Cairo and Alexandria that gives me that space to milt in two different Egyptian cultures that helped me a lot to have a quite different personality , feeling the various traditions among them led me to understand much more the environmental impact on people's life generally. after graduation from faculty of Archaeology I obtained an archaeological diploma in specific excavation , that I have participated in some events that related with cultural heritage conservation and notice for how far that climate changes can play a vital role in humans' history. For my language skills ,I have an IELTS certificate and know the basis of the Italian and French languages. on the other hand I can read some ancient writings such as Hieroglyphs and Coptic.	My studies in Archaeology has paved the way for me to grasp the humans interactions with environment around them. Results to that environmental consequences has pushed the humans to change their life totally, that hesitation between movement and sedentism, were they using portable tools or settled ones? just the environment would decide for them. on the other hand environment can be distractive too for instance the 4.2 ka BP Climate Event in Egypt that was the main reason of the deterioration of that old kingdom in Egypt. as a researcher in archaeology who have a quite good knowledge of the importance to climate changes in the old civilizations that attending that forum would give me a chance to be an effective part of this initiative.
1693	Rahma	Ali	Sudan Urban Development Think Tank SUDTT	http://www.sudtt-sd.org/	I’m a young woman from Sudan, an architect, and an environmental advocate. Issues relating to the environment, climate change, and rapid urbanization have always been essential to shaping the way I aim to utilize my knowledge into bettering my community. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Architecture, and my studies have exposed me to how much urbanism is influenced by different power structures, this was evident in uninhabitable slums filled with ethnic minorities, marginal and urban areas where violence against women was not only permitted but also encouraged, as well as the intentional irresponsible and poor planning of internally displaced people (IDP) camps. This has violently distorted urbanism philosophy in the country, and as a by-product, sustained many of those power dynamics that exploited the vulnerability of certain groups. This was even further highlighted with the impact of climate change, Sudan is considered one of the most affected and most vulnerable countries and is already undergoing a lot of displacement issues from climate change. This was even personal for me, as I’ve witnessed the devastating events of the destruction of my hometown village by the floods in 2019, it was a turning point in my life. Shortly after, I embarked on a journey to dig deep into the root causes for these events, and I learned that waste piles were a main contributor to altering the course of the Nile causing many villages to drown. That’s how I founded EcoWaste environmental solutions, which is a platform that is tackling waste management through a social approach, by creating a comprehensive and multidisciplinary framework to address the issue. Even long before that, I’ve always been a sustainability advocate. I joined Sudan chapter of the global network of architects (arc peace), we implement projects with a full realization of their environmental footprints, working in projects such as building a usable two dome structure “earth domes” for a rural neighborhoods training center, our main beneficiaries were IDPs living in the slums of Khartoum state . I was also a member of Sudanese solar energy society (SSES), our biggest milestone was initiating a solar energy symposium including the different stakeholders of the sector from the private sector to the participation of the government as well as youth engagement, resulting in a bigger-picture understanding of the solar energy as a sustainable alternative solution in Sudan. I most recently joined Sudan Urban Development Think Tank (SUDTT) as an elected communication secretary in the executive office of the organization. The think tank engages in areas of urban policies in the country, including climate related policies.	Youth participation has become a key drive for a climate resilient world. Therefore, the initiative offers a platform where my voice as a young climate leader from the global south can be heard, alongside the input of the other young climate activists that can leave its print on the conference. As a youth climate leader, I have been conducting capacity building for environmental awareness volunteers, who accomplished several awareness campaigns in different areas in Khartoum city reaching over 3800 families. Furthermore, I established the first community recycling center in Khartoum, which receives recyclable waste from community residents to be processed in local recycling agencies. I have been able to lead a team of 4, successfully working with over 100 families within the first 3 months of launching, and recycling over 3000 kg of plastic and paper waste. Not only that, but EcoWaste is a co-founding partner for the project Street Geniuses, which aims to work with youth working and/or living in street situations .The project came as a response to the growing numbers of street youth in Sudan, who were displaced due to climate change impacts on their hometowns, and the majority of which are working in waste collection. The project in its prototype edition targeted a total of 20 participants, who underwent a tailored selection process, and were then engaged in intensive yet interactive training. Through my work, I’ve been able to directly influence the sector of waste management in Sudan and the recycling industry. As a young leader in the sector, I’ve been able to work closely with the government in reviewing the Cleaning Authority’s roadmap, giving my remarks and insights on developing an inclusive framework in the industry. Nonetheless, due to the recent floods situation in the country, in Sudan urban Development think tank we launched the project build back together which aims to support the building back better process in various cities in order to reduce vulnerabilities and increase the resilience of settlements against future floods while coordinating with various agencies working on ground to co-create. This long-term effort aims to reduce the impacts of future disaster particularly when it comes to the loss of lives, housing and physical assets that occurs due to the lack of planning. The opportunity will allow me to intensively engage with climate stakeholders from different backgrounds and perspectives, from all parts of the world with a shared passion, vision and goals. Working with the other delegates can provide me with new ideas and introduce me to diverse perspectives within the team, which will help refine my existing concepts to help drive climate action faster. Interacting with new people will help boost my confidence which will help in future interactions, as well as contributing to my personal and professional growth. furthermore, I believe I will represent the values of Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) to the best capacity, as well as bringing a unique perspective of urban resilience that, alongside the other delegates will help enrich everyone’s experience.
1694	Aya	Abu-Bakr	None	None	Hello, I’m Aya Mostafa. I’m 22, fresh graduate from Faculty of agriculture, biotechnology department Ain-Shams University in Cairo, Egypt. I choose this field, because when I was in high school my Geology teacher was talking about climate change and how it’s and will affect all the Ecosystem that we live in and how many animals and plants we lost over the time because of human action and how if we don’t take any movement the earth that we once knew will change forever and we will face Natural disaster and maybe in the future we will forced to change our life style to just survive or maybe we will go and eat any plants like algae to benefit from its protein and how there’s some country may disappear which is already happened now. So I get inspired and amazed by how important this case is and how no one around me pay any attention to it, even though it is very important and dangerous topic threatened the whole planet and I wanted to help the people I love to survive if all that happen by becoming a Biotechnologist and find a creative solution I studied all typed of science and I decided to be a scientist for that I tried and still tries to connect my studies with technology and I also tried not to get distracted by the people around me and focus on my goal And the major I choose was really helpful I studied a lot of courses like environmental biotechnology, fish biotechnology, plant biotech, animal biotechnology and conservation genetic resources which was my favorite as we study how we measure the variation in genetic in organisms through the years and how we can conserve any genetic material from being extinction besides the science related to my study I also took a general course which focuses on techniques like genetic engineering, tissue culture and so on so I was really glad that I choose to be a Biotechnologist To be prepared to my dream , I got a lot of courses online and training on labs and attended a lot of conferences and workshops globally and locally I tried to do my best and also of course I didn’t forget studying so I graduate with an A+ with an honors degree I also participated in ideal student competition and I got 3rd place, also I tried to make my graduation project focus on protect a vegetable plants from insects by using genetic engineering and I want in the future to make plants more resistant to even stressful environmental, also I’m trying to publish my review articles with the help of my university as my paper was in top 15 at the best graduation project in my department My focus now is to get scholarship in environmental biotechnology and metagenomics to study how microbes in environment changed by the climate change and how can we benefits from it or if it’s a bad change how we prevent it or when in the future they disappeared by uses technology	As I believed in how important this topic is and how I want to become motivated to continue my dream, I attended a lot of conferences such as LCOY Egypt and it was the first local climate conference for youth and it was the first conference I attended and I was very motivated that I took a lot of ideas to my graduation project and they even talked about the coy 17 and the cop 27 and what is the current world status and I also attended ESE (Engineers for a sustainable Egypt ) which was an online event and I hope I could also attended the cop and make a network connections to help me in the future or saw the recent projects and the startup that focus on how to protect the environment
1695	Amé Rébecca	GUELLY	Réseau des Femmes Ambassadrices de l'Environnement pour le Développement Durable (RFAEDD)	https://www.facebook.com/RFAEDD/	Amé Rebecca GUELLY is a 28-year-old environmentalist from Togo who is interested in women's involvement in climate change and sustainable development issues. She holds a Master's degree in Environmental Management from Senghor University in Egypt and is about to start her PhD in disaster management in urban areas. Her commitment to her community has allowed her to impact many girls like her and encourage them to get involved in sustainable development actions. Having understood that she has potential and an important role to play in the sense of women's commitment and environmental protection, she created the association "Réseau des Femmes Ambassadrices de l'Environnement pour le Développement Durable (RFAEDD)" which works in the involvement of women in the preservation of the environment through sensitization to sanitation, The organisation works to involve women in the preservation of the environment through sensitization to sanitation, waste management, rational water management and various donations of garbage cans and other sanitation equipment and many other training projects for women in rural areas in strategies for mitigation and adaptation to the effects of climate change. Also, Rebecca is currently in charge of studies in the Audit and Monitoring Department of the Environmental and Social Management Plan (PGES) at the National Environmental Management Agency (ANGE) of Togo. Concerned about the lack of scientific and technical organisation of young people in the provision of solutions to environmental problems, she joined with young experts in the management of protected areas, and environmental management of several countries to establish MIMEA International, an organisation whose headquarters is in Côte d'Ivoire where the fields of application are broader. In addition, Rebecca is a facilitator at the Centre de Recherche Environnementale et d'Actions pour le Développement Durable (CREAD), which specialises in the promotion of environmental protection and the socio-economic development of the area's populations. She is also a member of the board of directors of the Centre d'Autonomisation de la Femme Africaine (CAFA), which focuses on the empowerment and development of women through grants to girls and women, income-generating activities, training and awareness-raising on natural resource preservation. Rebecca plans to use her assets further to advocate for the inclusion of youth and women's perspectives in environmental policies.	Becoming an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 is very important to me. I am convinced that with my young age and experience, I will make the voice of youth heard on issues related to climate change, environmental preservation, and climate mobility. Indeed, my story is that of a woman who has always been indignant about the place of women in society, their commitment and contribution to development. I have conducted several awareness-raising activities on climate resilience in rural areas of Togo https://www.facebook.com/426847047909263/posts/946325702628059. Furthermore, I was delighted to participate in the 4th edition of the Week-Eco, the annual forum that brings together young French-speaking actors in the fight against climate change and for environmental protection. This forum, organised by Ecolotrip, brought together more than 140 young people from all over the world in Défalé, Togo, last August. We had several workshops, sessions (including one on Migration, Displacement and Climate) and even did actions on the ground such as collecting plastic waste and reforestation. Also, several recommendations were made. Last year, I was one of the panelists at the webinar celebrating Earth Day 2021 around the theme "Protecting the planet for a better world" organized by the OJEDD FRANCE team. The link to the webinar recording is available here https://www.facebook.com/ojeddinternational/videos/286286469826916. Indeed, since 2018, I have been celebrating World Biodiversity Day every year with my different networks. For the 2022 edition, we have designed didactic communication materials to share some good practices of biodiversity protection and restoration action. We also highlighted African biodiversity through the sharing of Man-Nature images. These images were shared on the Facebook and Instagram pages. A video was made for this purpose https://youtu.be/59lu2NXsLrQ. Currently, within RFAEDD, we have set up a 4-day workshop on sensitization and training of rural women on good environmental practices and climate resilience in Togo that we will implement in the coming months. The choice of the target audience was women because they are often very involved in the exploitation of natural resources in rural areas and are also the victims of the adverse effects of climate change. This workshop will give them the capacity and skills to deal with the climate change crisis. Finally, being at the COP would be an opportunity not to be missed for me. It would be my first time and I want to learn from experts in the field about negotiation and create more partnerships for many projects in my community, especially regarding vulnerable people and those most affected by the effects of climate change. The skills and knowledge acquired will also be shared through feedback sessions so that many will be informed, and trained. In this way, we can inspire climate action and influence relevant policies to build resilient communities.
1696	Dohessiekan Xavier	Gnondoyi			I am a determined, motivated, very active person, curious about problems to find solutions, proactive person, and an excellent communicator.	I want to be a delegate because the climate is very important to me. I come from an African country and in my country, people complain about global warming simply because of deforestation and air pollution. My trip to Rwanda showed me the importance of nature conservation as a weapon against global warming. My goal is to make people in my country aware of this.
1697	Bigirimana	Pamela	ARC Power	https://www.arcpower.co/	Self motivated, high achieving, quick learning, hardworking entrepreneur and enthusiastic leader with a proven track-record in business management. Pamela always strives to achieve the highest standard possible at any given task and in any situation. She is accustomed to working in a challenging and fast-paced environment. Pamela has expertise in renewable energy(mini-grids) with a background of 5years at ARC Power. This experience levelled up her skills and knowledge regarding climate change and which impact should be made by humans to end the climate crisis.	My motivations for applying to become an ACMI youth forum delegate for COP27 are based firstly on my personal target as a young leader because I have understand that human activities are the main driver of climate change and this to me means that we hundred percent have ability to impact the climate crisis. Secondly on my role in the renewable energy sector as the commercial manager of ARC Power, it is my role and duty to clearly understand the climate change/mobility and lead the community that we are serving to these solutions through our services/sales. It is clear that Africa still has a gap regarding ecosystem based solutions and we are all aware that this has a big impact on how effect of climate change and pollution are tackled. It will be a great opportunity for me to meet with other African young leaders to discuss and brainstorm together what need to be done and how it can be done, what is our role and the community we will be representing to tackle the challenge of climate Lastly not least, it will be also an occasion to learn from others how they are doing it in their respective countries and share how we are doing it in Rwanda.

Nardia has interest in Human Rights, International law, Peace and Security, Dispute Resolution, Health, Poetry, Climate Change, Art and Agriculture. She aspires to inspire the world as opportunities do come and do not let the slightest opportunity pass by her.	Not knowing the effects of climate change is really a serious issue that needs to be addressed in most localities. The cause of of a lot of displacement during seasons of rain are also a result of that. During my community engagement with African Youth Leadership Consult in Collaboration with Tottenham City Youth Club and YALI Alumni in Ghana, our work was to clean up a locality that gets affected by flood during the rainy season and you could see how unconcerned the people are living in dirt which causes health problems and the gutters being choked also causing flood. As a result of the flood entering houses, person's affected are tantamount to move to a different place which makes living uneasy. I am motivated by giving back to the society regardless. Being part of an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 will help me in terms of my professional development goal, as a lawyer, this opportunity of participation will not only serve as a fair preparation but also set me up towards acquiring understanding on human rights related matters for purposes of broadening my experience and thus to interact with other participants from different foundations to learn and have a bid for the future.
1702	Takudzwa Ignatius	Kutoka	Caritas Zimbabwe Diocese of Mutare	http://www.mutarediocese.co.zw/commissions.html	Takudzwa grew up in Mutoko Rural District, Zimbabwe. His work has attracted various grants from international organizations, including the Global Youth Mobilization, Erasmus Mundus European Union and Catholic Agency for Overseas Development. He is the founder of the Youth Development Network working with the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water, Climate and Rural Development to establish climate resilient agribusiness community projects to restore livelihoods in disaster affected areas. A recipient of the 2022 Impact Toolbox Youth in Development Fellowship, Mr. Kutoka divides his time between Canada and Zimbabwe. Mr. Kutoka has been awarded a fully funded scholarship to pursue a Research based Master of Agribusiness program by Diponegoro University in Indonesia and he is also a current finalist for the 2023 Global Good Fund Fellowship Program USA. He seeks to upscale development in terms of youth engagement in climate resilient agri-food production thereby reducing the social frustrations that give rise to violence in Zimbabwe. He aspires to implement community-based food security projects which relies on qualified and competent youth who can work in profitable farming. The programs implemented so far stratagemed small livestock intervention projects for vulnerable communities in disaster affected areas through the following: livestock restocking through the introduction of improved livestock breeding technologies e.g. improved bucks, fodder production, improved village chicken breeds, training of community and animal health workers. Mobilizing these households into safety nets has prevented loss of development gains during periods of unforeseen future crisis in vulnerable communities. Driven and detail-oriented Youth Leader and Advocate with experience in implementing youth empowerment programs. Possessing a natural passion for promoting equality, including gender equality, inclusion in educational opportunities for girls and empower young women. Strongly interested in raising community awareness of the importance of girls’ education, working and collaborating with diverse sets of stakeholders, such as local partners, communities and government officials. Currently seeking acceptance for 2022 Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum - COP27 Delegate. Publishing at least two international journal articles is one of the prerequisites for completing the Master of Agribusiness degree which I am pursuing currently. I am working with the Ministry of Agriculture Youth Desk on the topic,” An assessment of the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on youths in agribusiness, a case study of Zimbabwe”. The project seeks to economically ascertain the impact of coronavirus on agribusiness youths and determine the actions taken by the government to help the youth in agriculture to improve post-coronavirus resilience in the agribusiness sector. The results to be published are expected to help the Zimbabwean government to adopt a proactive and consolidated risk management strategy suitable for the current agribusiness sector structure.	I intend to improve the absorptive, adaptive and transformative capacities of at-risk communities. It is highly hoped that it will demonstrate relevance, innovation, collaboration with partners, synergies with the existing projects and a strong evidence-based theory of change that is well aligned with the UN Environment programme. My overall objective of attending the conference programme is to contribute to increased capacities of communities to protect development gains and achieve improved well-being outcomes in the face of shocks and stresses. Below are my experiences in the field of climate action mobility in Chipinge, Chimanimani and Buhera South Districts which were hardly hit by Cyclone Idai and the El Nino induced drought in Zimbabwe: Range land degradation and deforestation: In most of the project areas range lands are degraded and the promotion of livestock production may further exacerbate the situation. Promotion of livestock production is currently by training and supporting farmers to produce fodder. The linking of farmers to markets is accompanied by a value chain analysis ensuring that business models allow farmers to afford supplementary stock feed. The ward resilience plan is designed to include sustainable strategies for reforestation and gulley reclamation. Siltation: The households in the arid and semi-arid zones pursue cultivation of crops nearby and in river beds as a coping strategy and supporting farmers with seed during the project is leading to expansion of this activity. In some of the districts Gulley erosion is already a serious problem. This is something that is beyond the control of the project, however during the development of ward and district resilience plans the consortia is facilitating discussions concerning this matter so that by laws are developed to address the issues. To facilitate these discussions temporal and spatial analysis as well as mapping of siltation in river beds and small dams is being conducted during the contextual analysis to determine the extent of siltation. Soil fertility decline: The project is supporting increased crop production (of drought resilient crops at the household level). We have noted that if this is done using inappropriate practices it can lead to further soil fertility decline. Integrated soil fertility management (encompassing the use of organic and inorganic soil fertility amendments, crop diversification and conservation agriculture) is among the technologies being promoted during extension service delivery. Water Pollution: The promotion of commercial agriculture is likely to lead to increased reliance on inorganic pesticides by farmers which if applied improperly can lead to soil and water pollution. Integrated Pest Management (encompassing prevention of pest outbreaks through cultural practices such as crop rotation and field sanitation, use of natural pesticides and use of inorganic pesticides as a measure of last resort) were promoted as part of the extension strategy. During project implementation water samples were tested for contamination.
1703	Samuel	Akpabli	Worships Aid Foundation	www.worshipsaid.org	Up until four years ago, I thought my childhood ambition to become a doctor or a healthcare professional based on their dressing and place of work will only be my interest. But my stay in the University of Ghana so far have exposed my growing interest in leadership, social entrepreneurship and topical issues of great concern to the world such as climate change and plastic waste menace. Most of my formative years at Abor, Volta Region was full of difficulties and despair because seeing my single mother fighting to put food on our table through various means that I later realized to be a practices not good for human survival. The poverty forced us to sometimes go on in bushes and cut down trees and sell to sustain us and also help our educational needs met. As a child, little did I know such activities possess a threat to human survival and the need to salvage such activities in my subsequent years informed my deep interest in matters of climate change and the need to protect our forests and even plant more trees lost as a result. I attended Abor Junior High School where I served as the Assistant school prefect and proceeded to Abor Senior High School where I read General Science and served as the President of the Science and Math’s Quiz Club. I represented the school in the Science Technology Mathematics Innovation Education summit at Ghana Secondary School. I completed Abor Senior High School as the best graduating science student but did not have the resources to enroll in the University and so I worked at Wellspan Health Centre for one year and saved to buy my forms for school. I enrolled in the University to study Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Science and currently in my final year awaiting completion in November 2022. I serve currently as the student representative in University of Ghana College of Health Sciences Newsletter Committee, former president of University of Ghana Allied Health Sciences Students Association and Junior Common Room (UGAHSA-JCR) where during covid-19, I championed sustainable student governance policies that cut across reducing carbon dioxide pollution, plastic waste menace among others. I currently served as the head of Worships Aid Foundation, a foundation that seeks to transform society through plastic waste education and the circular economy. I have participated in various plastic waste conferences and championed tree planting activities in my hometown, Abor and always reading articles and researches on how Africa can save her future from the devastating consequences of climate change.	My formative stages and the challenges it brought to me and many others saw us cutting down trees for economic purposes and over the years, I began to realize the my deep appreciation of these issues to turn the tide and contribute significantly in my capacity as a youth and with my unassailable quest to see the world becoming a better place and also to think through sustainable ways to help the economically challenged. Over the past four years, not only have I grown to appreciate the realities of life and the survival of generations before me and on. I increasingly see the urgency with which leadership is critical to secure the future. Mt experiences handling different leadership roles in the student arena and on the Non-Governmental Organizational landscape has exposed me to the relevance of leadership and the increasingly lack of proactiveness with climate change issues and the diminishing leadership dimensions with issues of climate change really worries me. Leadership is crucial to salvage the climate change menace and I am very concerned now more than ever to be part of those few youth, bold and daring enough to call measures necessary to solve the problem. My engagement with few entrepreneurial ventures so far has exposed me to the crucial power of entrepreneurs to provide sustainable business models that address carbon dioxide pollution and other contributing factors of climate change. I see myself as one of those aspirational youth who want to use every opportunity to address the climate issues and to engage with equally aspirational youth across the African continent. I am very concerned about the health of the world and so my deep interest and concern stems from my health background seeing the emergence of new virus, and possess a threat to the already debilitating healthcare space and how these challenges will also salvage the long time efforts to raise people from poverty. My participation in the COP27 and the ACMI youth forum will embolden me more and help me build great networks who have deep aspirations to see the world to be a better place. Thank you.
1704	Daisy	Katsoka	The University of Reading	Girl Rise Up	As a climate-resilient water sanitation and hygiene (CRWASH) expert in the development sector, I have worked with 3 international NGOs on development projects. The following are some of the accomplishments I have made in my career; after working with more than 4, 000 households focusing on sanitation technologies, access to safe water, and promotion of hygiene measures, I realized that WASH is multifaceted. After working in the WASH sector, I realised that in Malawi there was no implementation of WASH infrastructure and services that are sustainable and resilient to climate-related risks. Additionally, I wanted to contribute my ideas on global warming, energy sources and food security, hence furthering my studies. Since it is upon us to come up with a more resilient and sustainable society, which is part of our 2030 agenda for Sustainable Development. I have worked with about 1,800 women and girls through Girl-rise Up Malawi in education and climate change where I am a Co-Founder. This is so because education means better health for women and children, better financial security, and more capacity to navigate a climate change world. When you educate a girl child you have educated the community. Furthermore, educated women and girls are key to tackling climate change as they are capable to opt for technologies that emit lesser greenhouse gases than women who did not attain education. Soon, I would like to have the Girl Rise organisation reach out to the whole of Malawi with initiatives that incorporate girl education and climate change. The repercussions of the COVID-19 global health pandemic, economic crises, and conflict pose significant challenges, both globally and locally. Hence in my work, I demonstrated resiliency during challenging times in the following: By being employed at Norwegian Church Aid Malawi, under the TRANSFORM program, which is a livelihood and food security program funded by the Royal Norwegian Embassy, initially, the program did not have the position of water sanitation and hygiene. The program integrated water, sanitation, and hygiene into the program due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I delivered results on the position by enabling 21,000 people including the farmers TRANSFORM program was working to have access to safe and clean water with sanitation facilities to halt the COVID-19 pandemic. As a humanitarian, I put to my heart that I serve people even in pandemic times. This experience taught me that no matter how tough the situation gets, I should remember that the goal is to save lives, relieve suffering, and maintain human dignity. Hence in my current work, the lessons I learnt keeps me going to deliver no matter how tough it gets.	Attending the COP27 will give me an opportunity to meet world leaders and experts in Climate Action in the United Nations which can give the youth a chance to have an open dialogue to discuss key areas for support and development, such as climate finance, more inclusiveness in the process. I believe further efforts are required to foster youth inclusion and meaningfully engage them in the different processes shaping the climate and development agenda. After all, we are the ones that will be saddled with the burden and responsibility of driving the outcomes of future COPs and bringing about meaningful change that some of our governments fail to do. Young leaders, especially young women, should be given the floor in different forums among world leaders and the opportunity to be included in delegations. In this context as the Youth delegate for COP 27, it will enable me to participate in the developmental agenda and contribute from a young perspective among a set of huge financial expectations and commitments where world leaders must ensure that action is taken. In addition, I will be able to network with experts from different countries and world-class mentors through the COP. By participating in the COP, I will cultivate as many networks as I can. I believe not every youth can have the chance to participate in the COP, hence I would like to use the experience I will gain to create a platform, which I will use to impart knowledge to other youth. I would like to engage the networks to enable other youth to make positive contributions to society. I would also like to use the platform to be a source of advocacy educating women to understand female participation in voicing the needs of the community and the country is important in the development agenda. In conclusion, I believe my participation will ensure the participation of young generations not only as observers but as part of national delegations, who will step up and speed up efforts against climate change.
1705	Frank	Mugisha	AKATALE ON CLOUD		I am a 26-year-old, young leader, lawyer, writer, entrepreneur, and social and environmental activist, with practical experience that spans over 6 years. I have distinctive skills and experience gathered from working in different fields. currently, I am the founder and CEO of Akatale on Cloud, a company solving Uganda’s solid waste challenge by harnessing black-soldier fly farming facility(BSF) technology as a waste-to-value solution and learning/training hub on BSF technology and providing ready markets to farmers for their produces in Uganda and beyond to avoid food waste. I am also the best Innovator of the Year (2020) of the Scale Prize Startup competition, the first runners up of Greenpreneur 2022 by GGI, the Award winner of the IALS Transnational Contract Law Project 2019, and the best Campus Director of the Hult Prize foundation in the year 2019/2020, CHOGM delegate 2022 in Rwanda, and SOYA/FOYA Awards nominee under the category of Agribusiness Startup of the Year 2022. I'm passionate about solving solid/food waste, revolutionizing the supply chain of fresh foods, and reducing the turnaround time to avoid food waste which generates annually 4.4 GtCO2eq, or about 8% of total anthropogenic GHG emissions. This means that the contribution of food wastage emissions to global warming is almost equivalent (87%) to global road transport emissions.	I’m motivated to be part of an ACMI Youth Forum delegate because I’m passionate about motivating and bringing my fellow youth together and solving social challenges like environmental crises using innovative solutions and campaigns. So, the ACMI Youth Forum will give me an opportunity to share my ideas, network, learn, collaborate, and partner with my fellow youth working to change the world from the climate crises and helping the victims of climate crises. I'm also motivated by the mentorship, training, and funding opportunities I can get out of the ACMI Youth Forum. I have used our solutions (company) and campaigns to recruit, train, empower and inspire youth in universities and communities in Uganda to come up with innovative solutions that solve environmental crises and make a positive impact in their communities which is a positive impact relating to climate mobility. Also, today we have mentored over 500 local farmers to use solid waste to do black-soldier fly farming as a waste-to-value solution, providing them with ready markets for their produce, and skill set them on how to preserve and maintain the quality of food and life span using organic materials to help them avoid food waste, loss, and increase their profitability as well as impacting the environment positively.

1708	Jihane	El Ghiati	Moustaqil Litadamoun	https://instagram.com/moustaqill?igshid=MDE2OWE1N2Q=	My name is Jihane and I'm 22 years old. I will be receiving my master degree in Management and Finance by the end of this month. Throughout my studies, I have gained a theoretical background in management and finance, a fascinating discipline where I have become more familiar with markets, valuation and money. Currently I am in the process of applying for a master’s in International Relations; I plan to get a solid understanding of the basics of politics providing me with great insights into foreign affairs, international development, economic trends, social issues, law and more. On the other hand, I would describe myself as an ambitious person who loves practicing sport. I've started since I was five, I have done classical dance, theatre, swimming, gymnastics, Qwan ki do, Van lang Vo Dao, basketball, also piano and painting. Currently I’m playing tennis. I have always considered sports as an important part of my life; because beyond improving my physical health, it taught me discipline. As an enthusiastic person, I strive for positive change in the world and making it a better place for everyone, which is why I participated in numerous collective workshops and volunteer works. Through these activities I developed a strong sense of leadership skills, soft-skills such as problem solving, communicating effectively, Teamwork skills, Motivational skills. I have always wanted to improve myself and discover more about it. I had my first volunteering work when I was thirteen, I was a volunteer in the "Moroccan Pride association" .At sixteen years old, my friends and I created a charitable Club in my highschool named "Hope4Morocco" that turned into “Fikra” where we organised sensitive and social actions. After graduating high school, I joined a non-profit charitable organisation called "Jeu'Nass" as a volunteer, and then we created its subsidiary where I was part of the committee. Later, i co-created with my team a new association that we named "JOY" which stands for Journey Of Youth, where I was the general Secretary. After this amazing and very fruitful experience it was time for me to start a new chapter, I was offered the opportunity to join "Moustaqil Litadamoun", a new charity association, where I am designated as the spokesperson of the association. These experiences allowed me to develop my debating skills, creative thinking and soft skills. It created in me a sense of leadership and responsibility. I am an alumni of the American Leadership Academy where I had the opportunity to develop skills in inclusive leadership, strategy making, vision, prototyping, and to discuss climate change, sustainable development ; and currently I am in the process of working with a colleague on a forum about World Peace- Moroccan section.	My motivation to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate is fundamentally related to my passion for Diplomacy. As a young student, attending the Youth Forum for COP27 will allow me to have a clear understanding about climate change. A topic that most people aren’t motivated enough to care about. The reasons behind this phenomena can be countless. Climate change is primarily seen as an external issue, more than 55% of the world’s population is living in an urban area, so it’s understandable that most people feel disconnected from the environment, which is our basic life support system . I believe that experiences cannot be put into words, but I will do my best to describe my experiences relating to climate mobility. Organizing a Clean Up Day and mobilizing youth to join the movement was premiere for me at the time. I was fifteen. As a youth organization we took the initiative to raise awareness and show support to the global climate movement. A way to support youth voices by demonstrating our team spirit and civic engagement for the benefit of the whole society. I still remember during our CleanUpDay people were amazed by our initiative, some stopped us out of curiosity , others to take pictures , those who joined us. . Workshops, competitions and forums were a different sort of experience. These experiences were an eye opener. How can the priority-thinking process be affected by the environment, or how can a global challenge to humanity be seen differently from one country to another. Lately i participated at the Erasmus+ Worldwide: Global Dialogue on Youth Participation & Peace, where I had the opportunity to discuss with a large and diverse community from all over the world, we had a workshop about "Youth movements and decolonising climate justice " where we concluded important points such as The importance across local, regional and global governance institutions of the role of youth movements, Strategic efforts towards decolonising climate justice, The necessity to call for the recognition of the knowledge of young people, The need for youth organizations especially in the Global South zone such as the African continent to redefine the climate change policy. Participating at ACMI is an opportunity that will for sure allow me to expand my vision of the World. Representing my country and contributing to the development of Africa will require determination and certain integrity, promoting international peace, strengthening actions toward climate change control, human rights are all objectives I want to be part of, and that work comes with responsibility. The outcome of my experiences, studies, internships will allow me to make an impact and a change. Beyond researching and studying I believe that the best way to learn is to experience. Meeting people with the same passion and motivation as me can be very helpful in both personal and professional life, through this experience I will also learn how to work on various topics, improving my writing and debating skills, negotiation and also solving a problem with other delegates from the African continent. Projecting myself into an imaginary position will help me to deepen my understanding of the complexities and make me somehow close to the reality of the United Nation system and closer to my dream objective. Thus this experience will promote awareness among young people and students, reminding us that Climate Change concerns us all, young or adult.

Everyone must ask themselves the question whether the previous generation destroyed the climate system and this has an impact on the survival of all living species, while the current generation must in no way aggravate this situation but rather seek ways to fight against this phenomenon in order to leave a deliverable planet to the future generation if not what will the future generation think of the current one in the end Over the years, I have built skills and qualities that have impacted my life and community.

However, to date, we know little about the development cooperation’s role and function in responding to climate related mobility and migration.This being my reason to be ACMI delegate at COP 27, where i will be able to make a presentation on the importance of development cooperation to addressing climate mobility issues.The main aim of my presentation is to outline the policy frameworks and approaches shaping development cooperation actors’ engagement and to identify areas for further exploration and investment. First, we shall frame the concept of climate mobility and migration and discuss some applicable policy frameworks that govern the issue from various perspectives; secondly, we shall review the toolbox of approaches that development cooperation actors bring to climate mobility; and third, we will be discussing the implications of the current Covid-19 pandemic and identify avenues for the way forward. We shall conclude our presentation that ensuring safe and orderly mobility and the decent reception and long-term inclusion of migrants and displaced persons under conditions of more severe climate hazards, and in the context of rising nationalism and xenophobia, poses significant challenges. Integrated approaches across multiple policy sectors and levels of governance are needed. In addition to resources, development cooperation actors can bring data to help empower the most affected communities and regions and leverage their convening power to foster more coordinated approaches within and across countries.

She has worked on several projects and of recent desertification in yusufari local government of yobe state , where she collected data on the effect of climate change on the mobility of the people. she got to know about the issues after she saw pictures of her friend on sand dunes somwhere in Nigeria. she started her research and discovered the effects on the people living inn that locality. Her long term goals are to reduce the desert encroachment in the north eastern part of Nigeria. She currently has a few projects where she helps to raise awareness on the effects of desertification in Nigeria and how it can be stopped.	climate change has posed a threat to everyone on this planet. from rising sea levels to desertification to melting of icecaps. As an analyst that was able to get data on desertification in Yobe state Nigeria, i have been trying to raise awareness on the issue. Lots of families have been displaced, the people living in that locality have been unable to farm, the kids cannot go to school anymore. Becoming a youth Forum delegate would allow me meet different stake holders form different walks of life. experience gained from COP27 would allow me create awareness on the adverse effect of our daily practices on the climate.

I co-founded RIMA, a platform that empowers emerging creative practitioners from the global south by connecting them with international opportunities for funding and mobility. My practice addresses inequality, diversity and inclusion by engaging in safe space conversations on environmental sustainability issues and social equity. I curate art projects such as the Positive Narratives Project to focus on the intersection of conflict and climate change that has caused food insecurity affecting areas of Northern Nigeria where I live. I use music and poetry from local artists as a means of engaging the art community on sustainable means of addressing the effects of climate change and conflict in our environments. As a communications contractor for GiveDirectly I developed a communications plan to counter the effects of Tropical Storm Ana that struck Malawi in January, washing away nearly 200K acres of crops and displacing hundreds of thousands of people through providing emergency cash relief to help families rebuild their lives. I curate art projects by engaging the art community on sustainable means of addressing the effects of climate change and conflict in our environments. In my works I revisit and interact with my identity as an African, as a black person through the historical processes of colonization and the current western-global and capitalist created inequality. As an ACMI youth forum member, I hope to contribute my shared experience and facilitate conversations as a crucial step towards decolonization of the environment by transporting my own perspective of being an African and the reality of artistic and cultural curators in this part of the world with climate change and food security. I also look forward to developing newer networks and partnerships towards new collaborative working processes and innovative productions that I can learn to use in my work towards mitigating and adapting to effects of climate change on food security and conflict in northern Nigeria.

1726	Joshua	Opey	Sponsors for Educational opportunities	www.seo-africa.org	Joshua is a young professional who believes that the world’s challenges, like the climate and food crises and lack of inclusion for young people, need a concerted effort and cross-cultural solutions that transcends boundaries. He is currently the General Secretary of the National Union of Ghana Students, the official representative body of all Ghanaian students with a membership of over 10 million students. As General Secretary, he is rigorously working to ensure young people get involved in the sustainability conversation. He is leading a digital and sustainability initiative for the Union that seeks to bring students a good understanding of sustainability and make them more interested in the subject matter. Joshua is a finalist in the New Business Challenge organised by the Embassy of the Netherlands in Ghana. The new business challenge is an annual event that provides a platform for young people to develop innovative business solutions in sustainability. He holds a master’s degree in Brands and Communications Management and has expertise using products like Adobe photoshop, lightroom and illustrator to produce graphic designs. He makes use of these skills to help in several advocacy campaigns. An example is his role as a co-lead of the Content Creation team for African Youth Mobilization for COP (AYM4COP). AYM4COP is a group of young people across the continent leading efforts to mobilise young people in Africa to ensure meaningful participation of African youth at the annual Conference of Youth and the United Nations Climate Change Conference of Parties (COP). Joshua works as a strategic communications analyst for Sponsors for Educational Opportunities Africa, a not-for-profit organisation working to develop young people across Africa and directly contributing toward attaining Goals four and eight of the Sustainable Development Goals. His work involves deploying communication strategies to attract young people all over Africa. In addition, he develops content for the organisation’s social media platforms, manages the website and handles the development of marketing and communication materials. He believes making the world a better place is a collective assignment in which every individual, including himself, has a role to play.	The conversation on climate mobility deserves the maximum attention of the entire world. As General Secretary of the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS), I have been in several conversations that have exposed me to some of the adverse effects of climate mobility and how young people are affected. According to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), about half a billion children live in extremely high flood occurrence zones, and nearly 160 million live in areas experiencing high or extremely high drought severity. These factors make migration likely, and in most instances, children and young people are left behind. Moreover, for those who join in the migration, it comes with disruption of their everyday lives and other rippling effects such as the inability to continue with education. As a leader of over 10 million students in Ghana, together with my colleagues, we are working towards providing all necessary assistance to young people living in areas that get hit by floods. Aware of the challenges, we provide materials such as school uniforms and books to cushion young people affected by such happenings. In addition, we regularly visit students in such areas to engage and provide vital support. It is sad to see how some young people are unable to go to school on some days because it has rained more than expected. I also have experience engaging young people who have migrated to other places due to such instances and the challenges they face after making such a move. In joining the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) delegation at the Climate Mobility Pavilion (CMP), I look forward to bringing to light the experiences I have had engaging students who live in areas largely affected by climate mobility. I firmly believe the conversation on climate mobility deserves maximum attention from people worldwide, and I will be more than excited to help achieve this through the CMP at COP 27.

Now I'm the founder of initiative domestic street it's all about the most neglected part (effect of climate change on domestic animals) Its the only initiative here in Egypt, how this effect would affect our human life and how to adapt as well in parallel the most dangerous neglected part is that unsustainable solutions and behaviour towards stray and domestic animals causes huge damage for 2030 goals in different fields as well using killing and poisoning them causes more emissions and more diseases to humans, animals and pollution to air, land and water too. Knowing that the harmful and beneficial pests and snakes and rats...etc started to be more reproductive than big mammals and animals like cow, dogs and cats...etc So we would be facing alot of problems, I work alot by myself and with my team in parallel on raising awareness specially about that topic for children's, families and the workers t the government and private sector too. Also we cooperate to reach 2030 zero rabies and we go on massive vaccinations for stray animals so we cut the rabies cycle. We help people be more sustainable with their daily individual life.

The motivation for my candidacy for COP27 is both personal and professional. On a personal level, I feel driven by a profound mission of humanitarian interest in order to bring about a real change in attitudes, behaviors and practices within my community for all matters of protection and safeguarding. of the environment. I aspire to inspire more young girls and women in my community to engage in sustainable development actions, especially local adaptation policies and climate change actions. My long-term goals are to see my community more resilient and resilient to climate crises and disaster risk. On a professional level, I have been a member of the NGO JVE (Young Volunteers for the Protection of the Environment) since 2016 and where I have been actively involved over the years in initiatives for the promotion of ecology and the fight against climate change. To this end, I participated in several forums and consultation frameworks organized both nationally and regionally within the framework of the Young African Leaders Initiatives (YALI).

1731	Tarcizio	Kalaundi	Malawi National Youth Network on Climate Change	https://nynccmw.com/	My name is Tarcizio Tobias Kalaundi, a 25 year old pending graduate of Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources, having completed my studies in Bachelor of Science in Natural Resources Management Land and Water. I am an active member and volunteer of Malawi National Youth Network on Climate Change, Malawi Creative Care Network and Malawi Scotland Partnership, platforms that have shaped my active role in climate change related policy engagement, environmental advocacy and clean energy innovation pursuit aimed at creating sustainable communities. I am the current president of Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources Youth Mappers Chapter, whose benchmark of operation centers on contributing as well as utilizing geospatial data for humanitarian efforts like mapping out of potential flood prone areas for more resilient communities to climate change related disasters, and time series mapping to appreciate change of the scope of the environment for better understanding of climate change , its impacts and desirable policy interventions for sustainable development. My recent contributions towards the same include, mapping out of houses that were destroyed by cyclone Idai, Ana and Gombe for relief and appropriate loss and damage interventions, and use of open street mapping to map out illegal routes and markets used by charcoal producers for better regulation enforcement. My recent work has been to advocate for loss and damage redress through clear defined mechanisms of financing that are separate from Official Development Assistance, Adaptation Fund and the Green Climate Fund, as well as having loss and damage being considered as an urgent and priority agenda at COP27 while reflecting on strides set by COP26 Chairmanship. Through the aforementioned organization membership, I have been able to contribute to the youth’s voice of action in my country towards environmental related policy engagement and financing, by contributing to the National Determined Contributions developed by Environmental Affairs Department, the Malawi’s United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change focal point. In specifics of COP27 aspirations for the youth, I have actively participated in African Youth Conference on Climate Justice on the Sidelines of Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, Malawi’s Youth Priorities and Positions for COP27 session of UNFCCC Conference, as well as the Local Conference of Youth for Climate Change Action in Malawi, key reflection platforms of Malawian Youth’s contribution to the country’s position paper aimed at contributing to this year benchmark demands by the Environmental Affairs Department. I am equipped with diverse knowledge in climate change related problems in the African context and beyond and challenges in honoring climate financing commitments despite stipulated guidelines in the Paris Agreement based on my previous online attendance of conference of parties deliberations as well as provisions of the intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports.	My aspirations and passion centers on creating resilient communities to changing environment, through innovation on clean environment, alternative sources of green energy, humanitarian mapping for geospatial data contribution and environmental simulation modelling for informed communities in sound policy development and research. I believe the conference offers a platform to advance my knowledge in green finance lobbying, aimed at initiating community level self-sustaining resilient programs amidst loss and damage that influences displacement, as well as constructive and result oriented advocacy, to build a task force of young activists to champion cleaner environment and improved access to clean energy, in the context of Malawi and Africa as a region, while learning from the best champions of such in the world. The African Climate Mobility Initiative offers a platform for exploration to apply my humanitarian mapping contributions to climate change related disasters that course displacement and migration in Malawi and the African region, while networking with change agents in academia, policy and practice to facilitate cutting edge solutions of climate forced mobility in the context of Africa as a post conference priority. While acknowledging the non-fulfillment of resource commitments made by developed partners, becoming an African Climate Initiative delegate offers an opportunity for collective lobbying to the fulfillment of resource commitment towards loss and damage through real time data contribution of practical examples of different African research and stories, aimed at alleviating displacement and migration challenges resulting from climate change related disasters, and the implications on common pool resource utilization to the migrated regions, amidst already growing demands for finite resources like land, water and food, that many a time escalate unsustainable resource allocation and utilization, leading to more devastating negative impacts to nature and people. My post conference resolutions borders on using the acquired skills and knowledge from networking, advocacy, innovation and financing, to set up a local recycling company in my community, aimed at using waste for electricity generation, while strengthening geospatial data access for climate related disasters amongst scholars, in order to build a more science based approach to the understanding of loss and damage for community displacement and migration as well as action that centers on self-initiatives for creating sustainable communities.

Currently working as the Project Coordinator of Vanga Blue Forest, which is a mangrove protection and restoration project in Kenya. The project began in 2020, certified under the Plan Vivo Standards and contributes to three thematic areas which are; reducing carbon emissions of over 5,000 metric tonnes of CO2 annually, enhancing conservation and management of mangrove forests (which store carbon 7-10 times more than terrestrial ecosystems and mitigators to climate change) through community participatory approach and lastly, long term socio economic development of the Vanga community through capacity building on social enterprises and projects such as beekeeping, water and sanitation, health and education. Mwanarusi’s work, involves leading three communities of Vanga Jimbo and Kiwegu in the conservation and restoration of the surrounding mangrove forest and community development so as to mitigate impacts of climate change such as shore line erosion, flooding of farmlands and households due to sea level rise.	Am a young marine scientist and conservationist who is very passionate about the environment and concerned on the sustainable use of natural resources. I have a keen interest in joining the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative Youth delegate at COP27 so as to network and share information on the challenges we face as a community due to climate change and how we are resolving its adverse effects so as to have an understanding of the environmental imbalance brought due to climate crisis. Throughout my undergraduate studies I had been fascinated with the knowledge that mangroves are a solution to climate change. This information triggered me to refer more about mangroves from Kenya Marine Fisheries Research Institute where I would volunteer during vacations. My interests have now grown to seeking out more knowledge through networking so as to learn on best practices and lessons learnt from conservation of the environment from different corners of the world and I believe joining the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative for delegates COP27 is the best platform. My background is that of a marginalized coastal community in the far south of Kenya that is heavily impacted with the effects of climate change such as heavy floods during extreme weather events and high soil erosion along the shoreline. I aspire to acquire more knowledge through this platform if given the chance, so that I can return to my own community to share knowledge on community involvement in mitigation of climate change impacts and best practise on how man can cope without facing adverse effects of relocating to new lands for the purpose of farming or settlement.

He founded Gordon's Agricultural Organization as youth imitative that enhances food security through empowering small scale farmers in Northern Uganda to practice climate smart agriculture and agro-forestry. His organization won Audience Award on 2nd ,Aprill,2022 during East Africa Digital innovation and Business challenge by StartHub -Africa and East Africa Business Innovation Challenge at Tangaza University College in Nairobi, Kenya.Atleast over 2000 small scale farmers are food secure through his organization.	My name is Gordon Victor Akejo ,I am a youth climate Activist from Northern Uganda and the founder of Gordon's Agricultural Organization-Uganda ,here is a story of what is happening in my home country right now as we prepare for COP27in Egypt Over two millions of my fellow Ugandans are facing climate related starvations, in the past months, both of our rainy seasons have failed and according to scientist, it may not be stable as soon as possible before the water returns again, mean while farmers' harvests are failing and our food stores are empty ,people are dying every day in North part of Uganda because of famine, devastating floods and poverty I have been doing what i can,i founded Gordon's Agricultural organization, youth initiative that enhances food security through capacity building of small scale farmers on climate smart agriculture and Agroforestry. Through this initiative ,farmers are able to produce more food and earn extra income. The organization has empowered at least 2000 small scale farmers on climate smart Agriculture and agro forestry. Through the organization are currently training youths on briquette production where we use the waste products from sheanut shells and millet stalk to make cheap and affordable alternative source of fire wood and charcoal hence reducing the rate of deforestation by at least 30% in Northern Uganda .People in rural communities in Northern Uganda are able to stop cutting down trees for charcoal burning and firewood I believed through this ,farmers are motivated to plant more trees rather than cutting hence protecting our environment as well as practicing agriculture sustainably

1738	Adouma Ali	Amel Hassane			To Whom It May Concern: This is Adouma Amel. I am a recent graduate from Colin Powell School of Civic and Global Leadership. I majored in International Studies, with minors in Anthropology and Economics. I have also concentrated in Culture and Communication. My academic journey with Colin Powell was very fruitful. I have expanded my scope of thoughts in many ways. The most crucial thing that I learned is that attaining knowledge is what makes us rich. My educational past went from one geographical point to another. I grew up in landlocked countries in Africa between Chad and Sudan. It will come to surprise to people, that I had the best educational foundation in those countries. From advance math that I have learned in primary school to complex physics formula. I wouldn’t lie and say it was easy going to school in both countries, as both have endured civil wars and political unrest. There is so much to learn, and I will never reach that 100% knowledge status, however I will always aspire to it. Currently I am interning at International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance mission to the UN. In which we help developing countries with their democratic system and voting mechanism. I have a deep focus on international security, especially energy system. Africa is one of the least contributors to the climate change, yet it endures the most consequences of the climate change. Currently I am starting a project in chad in which we help farmers to depend on solar panels instead of gas. I am in the phase of raising funds for the project, in which we help local farmers to switch to renewable energy. There is a link between democratic system and climate change. In the most democratic countries, people are protesting to make their voices heard. The change is slower than it should be, however there is a change at least. On the other side, in Africa we are suffering in ways that are unbearable. It is time that our voices are heard more than ever. The African youth deserves to be represented in global dialogues such as COP 27. It is time that we own our narratives and write them in the way that reflect us.	To whom it may concern: My motivation to apply to ACMI Youth Forum delegate is to give back to my people. I am from Africa, but I live in the African diaspora. The African diasporas are fortunate with some privileges that many in Africa don’t have. I believe that as diasporas around the world we must give back and help our beloved Africa in any way we can. I was fortunate enough to gain my education in the US and be knowledgeable about climate change. Many in Africa are lacking the climate change awareness itself. I don’t know how we except people to care about climate change if they don’t know anything about it. If the rate of illiteracy is till high, how can people be aware of carbon emissions and all the talk about climate change. Unfortunately, climate change education is a luxury in many parts of Africa, even though it should be the basic of any education system. I think it is time for me to give back, many people back home are suffering from the consequences of climate change. The responsibility of helping them lays on all of us Africans, in or out of the continent. I hope that by bringing the voice of people in Chad who suffer from extreme drought, and now are facing hunger can comes to light. The idea of seeing Africa behind in the climate race saddens me. We must be on track. We must help one another to tackle the climate threat. Africans all over the world must unite to help the continent to be on track. In my case are farmers in chad. In which I hope that I can be of service to them and to many Africans in need of help. If the African voice is projected loud enough, we can make a difference. The African youth needs to be represented. Lake Chad has lots over 90% of its water. I have seen it with my own eyes how my own family are suffering. My family owns a farm, where access to water becomes difficult every year. Our crops are dying in a higher rate more than ever. I would love to help them, by the least projecting those voices. Thank you

I have always had a huge interest in climate change, and I have always believed that through these platforms we will finally get the chance to share our voice and speak to the world about the future we want to see and the challenges we want to tackle. and most importantly, what problems and concerns are affecting our region and continent, and what can we do about it? I want to speak out on behalf of my country and address all the issues that the world is constantly neglecting. I want to insist on the importance of action and stop making fake promises. We have so many new proposals and policies that we want the world to embrace and implement for one of the most vulnerable regions in the world. I want to represent my country, which is still having the mindset of considering climate change as not a big deal. I want to speak up and wake up the African youth, and I highly encourage everyone to defend our rights to live a safe life on this planet. We want to prove to the world that trusting us is worth it, which is why we would love to see the African youth taking part in decision and policy-making, we are no longer available for the back seats or the media; we want to show that businesses and economies should never be prioritized over human rights.

Edina E. Salila a Tanzanian female, a university graduate, having completed Bachelor of Arts and Mass Communication at Saint Augustine University of Tanzania (SAUT) in the year 2018. Since I was in high school and university I believe that young people are the one with the largest demographic in the world and climate change is the most important to the young people in order to tackle the complex issue of the climate change, we need young people with skills, knowledge and passion to push for and innovative solution, with their knowledge young people are already the leaders of this generation, they are already demanding ambitious action on climate change and mobility through leading the youth climate movement, I believe that empowering youth to monitor air quality is a first, and often powerful, step in providing them with the information that they need to advocate for their rights. So, media let us communicate more messages to more people, more quickly. Media provides a platform to share news and current events with others quickly which leads to social change, Media is the reflection of our society, and it depicts what and how society works.

1745	Muleta	Muleta	Oromia Tourism Commission	Amaya Technologies PLC	Dear Sir / Madam, My name is Muleta Alem Muleta. I was born in a rural area of Ethiopia called East Wollega, Nekemte town but currently live in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I grew up and attended my Elementary School, High school and Preparatory at Nekemte. I attended my B.Sc. degree in Engineering (Software Engineering Stream) from Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa Institute Of Technology and graduated on July 7, 2017. I’m working in an organization called "Oromia Tourism Commission" as a Director for Research and Analytics Directorate. The undergraduate curriculum in Computer Science and Engineering at the institute of technology, (Addis Ababa Institute Of Technology) Ethiopia, has introduced me to a wide variety of engineering subjects. Various courses like Artificial Intelligence (Robotics), Programming Languages, Electronics, Software Engineering I, II, III, System Programming, Assembly, Computer Security, Algorithm analysis and design, Computer graphics, and multimedia provided me with a strong footing in the theoretical concept of Software engineering or Computer Science and Engineering. While offering both depth and breadth across this field, these courses put into perspective the importance and relevance of Computer Science and Engineering and the application of its fundamentals to the problems faced by the real world, especially in developing counties like Ethiopia. So, I can realize that learning and developing my knowledge of Computer Science is a great opportunity for my country. Today no one is really happy as me for solving his society’s problems greatly. Amazingly, I did all the projects without any payment at all. So these projects have attached my name to the wall of history in our society and helped me to have responsibility for more problem-solving technologies and aware me study more and more. I am much eager to adopt and know new technologies. I am enthusiastic to attend a Master of Computer Science at your Institution to understand different Computer Science concepts. Based on providing me with this scholarship, I promise to serve your institution in any aspect you want me to. The good reputation of high-quality education standards, extremely distinguished faculty members, and research facilities are the factors that have motivated me to choose my M.Sc. studies at the University. Moreover, I feel I am responsible for making a big move in this field and this opportunity will give me a big chance to be one day someone who is remembered for his innovations and network. I think it is our duty as people for sharing life in this world to make our future better. Because- the future includes our grandchildren and they should be proud of us always whenever they look back and find how hard we worked to make the world a better place. Finally, I believe my qualification and your needs would be an excellent fit. I will be happy to provide any further information or documents if required. I look forward to your positive response. Thank you for your time and consideration. Yours faithfully. Muleta Alem.	I was born and raised in rural Ethiopia and I know exactly the problem of not having access to clean air. Polluted air and unclean water are common in rural areas of our country. However, when I came to the city to study, I realized that these problems were getting worse. deforestation, industrial expansion, vehicle fuel, etc. are having a serious impact on air pollution. As an engineering student, my main goal is to replace gas-fired power plants with electricity. For my purpose, I understand that it is necessary to follow and participate in such programs. As an educated young man with ample opportunities, I also strive to make the world a much more suitable place to live.

I am motivated to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 and ready to take on this climatic and environmental challenge of sustainable development, to bring together all multistakeholders, namely the government, civil society, the academicians, the technical committee, the media, etc., to convince them more in order to grant colossal investments to support young people in their commitment to protecting the environment, achieving sustainable development goals and combating climate change in all its forms. We must also take concrete initiatives to support young people in fragile countries, countries that suffer from natural disasters, with a view to saving this planet which is only waiting for our efforts and actions. I have been followed by thousands of people through my social medias accounts, because of the efficient works I always do to honor my commitment, as a young leader. My work has already a sustainable impact, locally, nationally, sub-regionally, continently and internationally for so many reasons. After returning back from the COY17 & COP27, that will be the right time to mobilise young people to sensitize them in order to be more committed to tackle climate change, natural disasters etc. According to my experience, I have noticed that youth are still far away from the current realities and challenges, so I will definitely create awareness for more impact.

She has been supporting research operations in educational technologies globally at M&C Consultant, Canada remotely.With passion rooted in seeking out innovative solutions to social issues. She has contributed to supporting innovations specifically focusing on SDG 4 and how technology can power impact outcomes. I won the Mastercard Foundation scholarship programme at the University of Cape Town and currently pursuing a master’s degree in Inclusive Innovation, specializing in areas of education technology, innovation, inclusivity, and creativity. I am researching on innovation initiatives that can improve the educational system of the future. I have been actively involved in urban schools through voluntary programs where I have encouraged learners with low self-esteem to create short- and longer-term career goals and mentored them on how to attain the accomplishment of these goals. Similarly, I have been successful in mobilizing the community to collaborate closely with urban schools to understand societal changes that take place in the community (climate change, agricultural and other economic activities, etc.) and find a balance between these changes and how they can be advantageous rather than detrimental to the learners. My long-term objective is to develop solutions that will contribute to implementation of the SDG to accelerate then global actions toward the 2930 agenda. This I hope to accomplish through the creation, application, and evaluation of the project and community engagement to thrive of unleashing solutions and actions amicable solution that can build a resilient system. As an orphan who grew up under circumstances that can be described as disadvantaged, I had the experience of difficulties and limitations associated with accessing standard education, food, health, water in my under-developed community. Hence, my unwavering determination to alleviate the social issues affecting my community. In the long run, I look forward to developing powerful pedagogies to improve the outcomes for communities worldwide through the partnerships being developed globally and the technologies that will power their efforts.	My knowledge of the aims of the Conference of the Parties 27 includes exposing fellows to civic engagement from expertise, innovators, leaders around the world while building technical and leadership capacity in areas such as advocacy and strategic planning. I am convinced that my knowledge gap on how to build successful relationships between schools and communities, as well as the establishment of a balance, will be filled. Growing up in the small village in Namibia, was a life experience. Our village is situated is a desert, where there are very few trees around. A walking 4-kilometer walking distance to find a neighbor. We grew up walking distances to go fetch water for consumption and for our livestock, which have helped me to look it the inside of this crises and find solution for my community. I have established up an NGO that if focusing on finding solutions to climate change. We have involved the community leaders and community member to spearhead and own the process to this solution. The project has two main focuses, one is the farming of the basic household vegetables for consumption in the community, the planting of tomatoes, carrot, sweet potatoes, spinach etc. This component is to build resilient to Zero hunger in relation to climate change. It has also helped us to develop a relationship with all women in the project that we empower this young woman to be the women they want to be come and it has provided employment opportunity for this family to be able to provide for their family. The other component is that the project source free plant from donors as we aim to plant two (200) hundred plants in the community monthly to create the resilience of the environment. We are aiming to build the green ecosystem for the community that can be able to promote the circulation of oxygen for health clean air, as a solution to pollution. In additional, the project does not make fund, nor profit, we support disadvantage families for food consumptions, we source capital to buy more plants to meet our monthly targets. So far, this project is doing well with the community support. I am looking forward to meeting leaders or organizations that have the same driven to find solutions in climate change to assist funding the project or provide the necessary equipment and training to our volunteers to empower this project. Additionally, the majority of the possibilities I have experienced have been highly advantageous yet, I believe there is still more to learn. With the competencies, abilities, and knowledge I will gain from the conference, I will be able to successfully identify other primary causes of limitations in my community and how to solve them. I will also be able to successfully develop tools and resources to engage community leaders and policymakers, develop, recommend, and lobby in climate change issues spaces, and properly monitor their implementation and evaluation when I return to my community.
1750	Ifeanyi	Anyanwu	Pee Drilling Company Nigeria Limited		I am a self-motivated Junior Hydrogeologist with Pee Drilling Company Nigeria Limited, who has a keen interest in impact of climate change. I have an excellent academic background in Geosciences. I am an innovative and detail-oriented individual with the capacity for problem-solving and teamwork, geared towards achieving maximum results. My current role has given me the opportunity to partake and supervise the drilling of over fifty boreholes in Anambra State and environs. I also educate interns on the fundamental concept of groundwater exploitation and borehole drilling. Further, in my quest to contribute to alleviating climate change impacts globally, I have volunteered with Green Community Initiative (GCI), a global network of young and enthusiastic leaders, taking international steps to contribute to the sustainability of society, with a key focus on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 4, 5, 6, 7, 10,11, 13, 15, and 17. Moreso, I also function as the Monitoring and Evaluation Officer of Green Environment and Climate Change initiative (GECCI), an environmental conservation organization, whose primary goal is to combat climate change and deforestation through initiating projects and programs on the environment in line with UN Sustainable Development Goals. I strongly believer in the deployment of concerted efforts on a regional to global scale, to fight against climate change effects, as this will contribute in making our planet Earth, a safe place for habitation.	The United Nations Climate Change Conference is a platform , not just to learn about the global climate change and its effects, with reference to real-time case studies, but also an opportunity to network, connect, and engage with other climate change leaders across the globe who have adopted sustainable approaches at combating climate change in their different countries. At Green Environment and Climate Change Initiative (GECCI), we strongly believe in the implementation of sustainable viable methods to combat climate change, hence the adoption of tree planting programs. We have engaged in sensitizing different schools and organizations on the need and importance of carrying out intentional tree planting schemes. We have collaborated with the Ministry of Environment, Anambra State, the Rotary Club Chapter, Awka and various bodies in developing and carrying out tree planting projects. To further drive this campaign on climate change and tree planting, I desire to fully partake in the COP27 as an ACMI Youth Forum Delegate, as this will enable me acquire more knowledge and skills that can be employed in my region to alleviate climate change impacts. Also, the need for funding is a paramount aspect of the tree planting project, and I believe getting funds from international bodies will enable us carry out more projects intended to contribute to ameliorating climate change impacts in niche and also globally. As a young climate leader, the essence of public campaign schemes can never be overemphasized as it has proven to be a feasible approach to sensitize the masses on the global climate change challenges we are facing and sustainable measures to be carried out to avert the climate crisis. We are in the decade of ecosystem restoration and as such, it is expedient we are rightly informed and supported to produce great results at reducing the impacts of climate change.

At the age of 24, Abubakar has established himself as a climate change champion and role model to many. He has many certificates in renewable energy.	My interest in climate change and renewable energy began when when I was 16 years old, during my secondary school days in Kazaure, Jigawa state. I was raised in an impoverished community that has been consistently witnessing climate disasters for years, yet no sustainable change is in place. Just recently, there has been a record of flooding epidemic that left many farmers and villagers including my own family in utter difficulties. Farms have been destroyed as some lives were lost. It’s indeed a tragedy, happening at a time when the world is focusing on fighting climate disasters. This triggered me to start my organization, the Green Energy Mission Africa. Green Energy Mission Africa is a youth led organization that focuses on engaging young people towards advocacy and projects on climate mobility solutions. Just last week, while I was in the comfort of my room in our village, my sister rang me that there’s flood around. I was touched to see properties been lost including ours. People migrated to other places. I said to myself, this has to stop. To address the issue of climate mobility, we campaigned and mobilized over 4000 young people across Jigawa state in raising awareness in villages about the dangers of bad climate practices. People were taught on how to maintain good hygiene and desist from blocking drainages. Acceptance into this program and the opportunity to attend COP27 will connect me with a huge network of like minded people who share my vision, allowing us to create the impact that we desire. My sole objective is to bring a sustainable end to climate mobility.

Her hobbies are cooking, listening to music, traveling, and watching movies. Transforming and impacting lives drives her to be an advocate.	I’ve been motivated to apply to be a delegate at the ACMI to develop and grow in the area of Climate mobility since a lot of young people in Ghana don’t really give much attention to it. Due to my experience as a young woman in the project (Trash to treasure), where we educate students in high schools on environmental protection, climate action, SDGs, and handwashing. Indiscriminate disposal of waste by community members has triggered this initiative hence my goal of becoming an environmental safety expert will provide me with the opportunity to share best practices, lessons, and experience in environmental safety as well as learn from other young climate/environment advocates. It will also afford me the opportunity to network and better create solutions to affect global challenges as we aim toward achieving SDG13 and Foster partnerships. Growing up in Kpandai a suburb in the north of Ghana, I witnessed open defecation, lack of WASH facilities, and poor drainage systems caused mostly by the improper disposal of refuse. This led to the loss of properties through flood and the outbreak of cholera affecting a number of people especially children and youth. I realized then as a young girl I could add my voice to making a change in my community. Being an ACMI youth forum delegate will enhance my knowledge in the field of climate change and environmental safety so that I can extrapolate these experiences and knowledge gained to better design and implement initiatives geared towards achieving clean, safe, and healthy environments. Upon return, I will also scale up advocacy in my community on the use of traditional mechanisms such as tree planting, green roofing, planting resistant crops, materials to mitigate climate change, and how to sustain these using both the traditional, social media and in-person engagements as tools to educate my people on how to strengthen action for nature to achieve the sustainable development goals.

Lastly, she is finalizing her undergraduate degree at the African Leadership University, pursuing International Business and Trade.	My experience in climate change was through a three-month internship with the Impact study department at the African Leadership University. We conducted a study assessing the impact of COVID-19 in Rwanda, including a component of the circular economy on household waste management. If from these experiences, I developed an interest in trying to understand where the waste collected at the household level goes and what's done to it. To answer these questions, I made it my thesis focus to assess the waste collection and recycling status to understand how the two sectors work together to ensure circularity and, in the long run, prevent climate change. This experience came to be a career-defining moment for me. As currently, I have six months and counting working as a project manager assistant at Blackforest Solutions, supporting waste management companies to develop sustainable recycling strategies, frameworks, and facilities. Hence I want to share my knowledge in waste management at cop 27 in waste management. As I believe recycling, will prevent plastic pollution in our oceans, land, and air pollution preventing climate change. Also am in the process of working on my undergraduate thesis on assessing the circularity status of waste management in Africa, particularly in Rwanda, in their waste collection and recycling system. Rwanda is among the pioneering countries in Africa combating climate change. It's important to understand what they are doing for other African countries to learn from. I am working hard to complete my thesis and see it published. Therefore I am motivated to be an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 to share my research findings with other youth and learn from them in terms of strategies or climate change action framework to support my comparison/similarity analysis of my thesis on Rwanda. So I can submit a concrete paper that is broad in information on climate change action that African countries are implementing and learn from or borrow ideas to combat climate change.

1757	YAQUB	ADEDIJI	Renerworld Global limited	https://www.linkedin.com/in/babatunde-adediji/	As a member of my generation, my humble-beginning has reinforced my-aspiration to take out time to benefit others and become active in changing the world for the better. My life goal is to provide clean and affordable energy to residents of United states, Africa and the world at large in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal Seven. My name is Yaqub Adediji, a renewable energy enthusiast and a research-oriented graduate with First Class Honours in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Enrolling, and excelling, in many volunteer programs has also enhanced my critical thinking, problem solving, team work, leadership and effective communication skills. I am currently a Purdue climate Scholar and in partnership with the Blue Integrated Partnerships, I’m working on making Magueyes Island, Puerto Rico sustainable and independent of the grid to reduce greenhouse gases emissions by installing micro-grids with wind turbines and photovoltaic solar panels to satisfy the energy demand. Also, I worked on the project "Techno-economic Analysis of Microgrid deployment in Magueyes Island, Puerto Rico” and this earned me the Outstanding Fellow Award: the Eunice Newton Foote Award in August 2022 which was awarded for excellence, innovation, and showing great dedication and being a gamechanger in the sustainability and climate change research field. Furthermore, I am also a Development Knowledge Facilitator of the United Nations Development Program for Sustainable Development Goals. I am an advocate of Sustainable development goal seven and have embarked on numerous projects on providing clean and affordable energy to promote sustainability. My volunteer works were recognized in the 2019&2020 IVD global banner by the WSO-DFCA Global Recognition for Volunteerism, where I received a volunteer recognition award. During the course of my undergraduate journey, I was privileged to specialize in power systems, where I got to explore several areas in fossil fuel-based generation systems, its greenhouse gas emission and harmful effect on the environment. I also explored renewable energy engineering, microgrids and distributed generation. However, there is a dearth of experts in this field in Nigeria. This galvanized my interest to pursue a knowledge in renewable energy technologies to afford me robust training in renewable energy technologies and power systems which will equip me with specialized skills to coordinate and implement plans aimed at sustainable energy supply. Coming from a humble background, my parents had instilled in me that my academic success was a tool in my hand to make the world a better place. My career goal is to become a leading expert in the field of renewable energy. My goal is to setup the Electrify Africa project which involves the design and development of decentralized solar and wind microgrids to provide the unserved rural areas, as well as the underserved communities with clean, persistent and affordable energy in Africa.	Conventional energy systems are leading to greenhouse gas emissions contributing to global warming and climate change. Hence, there is a need for a shift completely from these systems towards a cleaner energy system to combat these problems. My goal is to leverage the research facilities, resources and networks in STEM to setup the Electrify Africa project which involves the design and development of decentralized solar and wind microgrids to provide the unserved rural areas, as well as the underserved communities with clean, persistent and affordable energy for their day-to-day activities to eliminate the dependence on fossil fuels which will, in turn, reduce greenhouse gas emissions causing environmental issues. The second phase of the project also entails empowering Africans especially women in STEM with the capacity to develop renewable energy technologies by equipping them with research and practical knowledge on solar/wind microgrids. This will also promote environmental sustainability and improve the economy via job creation in Africa. The Electrify-Africa-Phase-I & II Project will aid the implementation of United-Nations-Sustainable-Developmental-Goal seven and thirteen in Africa. I want to participate in this program because I believe it will not only afford me robust training in the highly-demanding field of sustainability but will also equip me with relevant and specialized skills that will be needed to address the present climate change issues facing the world at large. In addition, since the Electrify-Africa-Project would require lots of leading-experts’ hands on deck, I plan to use my eloquence and engineering-experience during this unique opportunity to engage and forge relationships with the next-generation African-leaders, leading professors and industry-experts from world renowned energy companies. Since speakers and attendees are leading industry experts, I aim to exchange perspectives, establish and maintain a global network of sustainable-development practitioners which will deepen my understanding and provide me with new insights for developing innovative solutions regarding combating climate change using renewable technologies. This will aid in my participation in the implementation of sustainable development goal thirteen. Moreover, I would have a possibility to collaborate with other COP-27 delegates in the field of sustainable on a global-level. I am especially enthusiastic about liaising with foreign and local delegates during the Climate Mobility Pavilion to present our insights on different prospective designs and optimization of renewable energy infrastructure, as well as integration of variable-renewables into the electricity distribution grid in Nigeria. I want to be a part of the strong network of young leaders to develop initiatives for combating the energy paucity in Nigeria hindering economic growth. Upon the completion of this program, the engineering expertise and strong networks gained will help in the development and flourishing of knowledge/resources, as well as developing insights and strategies aimed at establishing the Electrify-Nigeria-Phase I &II Project towards the realization of sustainable development goal seven and thirteen in Africa.

Because of this, I was recognized with the award of “25 under 25 youth changing the game on the African continent” by Nigerian based organization iKapture Networks.

I was also recognized by the Samsung Tunza eco generation platform in South Korea as one of the “2020 HIDDEN ECO-HERO AWARD” winners (https://tunza.eco-generation.org/noticeView.jsp?viewID=53962&searchType=&searchName=&pageNumber=1) Furthermore, I was honored to receive the highly competitive scholarship of the Ashinaga Africa Initiative (AAI) to study in the best university in Tokyo, Japan. I was the only one selected in Uganda and after graduation, I will return to Uganda to contribute to the positive change I want to see there and in Africa at large. I have also acted as an environmental ambassador to lead climate action in Uganda at the Samsung Tunza Eco generation in South Korea. I not only advocated for youth to get engaged in preserving the environment in Uganda, but the world at large. I was voted as the most inspirational ambassador for my cohort in 2019. (https://tunza.eco-generation.org/ambassadorFormerView.jsp?viewID=56352&searchType=&searchName=&pageNumber=1) Currently, I am initiating a youth initiative called “Signals from the grassroots” to advocate for youth’s active engagement in community affairs and to lobby more opportunities of empowering their dreams to better the world.	Climate change and water scarcity are producing the most dramatic consequences in developing countries. Good water management can drive growth and poverty reduction and help deal with climate shocks. Poor water management can do the opposite. Without radical reform to how water is managed and allocated, the competition will increase, exacerbating water scarcity and pushing costs up, especially for the poor. However, if we turn our concern into passion, we will develop the motivation that will carry us through the fight for climate stability. I am a part of the generation that will solve climate change because I have developed this motivation into my strong passion. I come from a poor family were attaining a 2 meal in a day is unheard from. However, what perturbed me the most was that the earth was pressing much more burden and making life harder instead of easier. The forests from which we used to gather fruits for lunch were no more, no more trees to give us a shade from the strong sunshine that turned our house into an oven. No more swamps to collect water or fish from, instead it was the very bot soil that burned our bare feet. I wondered why nature could decide to make life harder even for the low status people. It is not until I learnt of climate change and man’s actions that I learnt that it is all man’s fault. Since then, I have devoted myself to raising awareness and contributing to reviving nature and conserving the environment to not reduce the much suffering climate change is imposing on the poor, but to protect other species. Attending the COP27 as an ACMI Youth Forum delegate provides me an opportunity to share and learn new ideas from like minds who will attend the event. The COP27 provides youth with opportunities to develop their leadership skills and become active members of their communities. Climate education from the various speakers and colleagues acts as a launching pad for attendees to pursue future careers in the environmental field and to gain necessary communication and problem-solving skills. It also avails youth with opportunities to become engaged in a movement that’s bigger than themselves. My peers and I have grown to be not just the leaders of tomorrow, but the leaders of today, and I believe that attending this conference will revamp my spirits in leading climate action. Lastly, I am interested in attending the COP27 because I believe it is important to look to future generations as a source of hope for positive change, and COP27 is doing just that. Our greatest defense in this fight is an increase in climate literacy, so that future leaders are better prepared to catalyze positive change. COP27 accepting the responsibility to educate future generations will make we the attendees knowledgeable, challenge us to pass on this knowledge to others and as a result make the next generation more capable of combating climate change. COP27 is a source of hope during this period of ecological and social change.

Sunday Joshua Makandau is also a final year student from the department of archeology and heritage studies Ahmadu Bello University Zaria Kaduna state Nigeria. As a student Makandau was engaged in several archeological field work which gives him experience and allowed him to carried out archeological survey and ethnographical research in Sukur kingdom alongside with senior colleagues and lectures. He is passionate about the promoting African heritage. Progressively, Makandau carried out a research on the Mukaya hill of Mandara mountain and evaluation of the tweeny seven gates of Sukur king palace. Makandau focused on the archeological site of Mandara mountain with the interest of documenting and preserving Mandara hill dwellers cultural heritage.	Northern Nigeria is predominantly tropical dry or Sahel climate, the region therefore has two seasons of the year which are dry and rain season. The dry season began from the month of November which last to the month of April, while the remaining months from May to October were rain season. The region also experience higher temperature in the country. However, recent report show that Northern Nigeria are also predominantly farmers and herders and both are therefore affected by climatic change as a result of climatic change many species of wildlife and crop plants were directly affected and totally despair from the region. Most especially the indigenous species, this also course the random movement of the herders to feed their animals which course farmers/herders crisis within the region. In the recent report from the Northern region on heavy rainfall which course several damage's and loss of life it was noted that hundred of life were loss in the year 2022 as well as house's and farm land was affected by flood. It was also revealed that climate change in Nigeria has led to seasons of drought and excess flood, which affected agricultural activities and caused a loss of shelter. In 2019, the National Emergency Management Agency revealed floods had displaced approximately 1.9 million Nigerians. The affected areas includes Kano, Jegawa, Borno state, Adamawa and Yobe state all in Northern part of the country.Beyond physical damage therefore climate change directly and indirectly affects African economy and led to migration from place to place, resilient and adoption therefore had never been so important as a time like this In addition, the climate stressors also affected Heritage site such as Sukur cultural landscape where cultural properties were recorded, it also affect the agricultural farm land mostly and some cultural feature within the landscape were directly affected by climatic change. Excessive rainfall in the area destroyed many houses including historical building which course relocation of many house hold. However, in the past decades as a result of climatic change in the area the level of water has gone down to the extent that some of the high hill dwellers re-locate to the low land area where water source is accessable to human. As a result of reduction in rainfall in the past decades, the region also loss so many wild life species that relocate to water source region, these happened between the year 1994 to 2021. My experience on climate change in the northern Nigeria prior to my participation in the recent ICOMOS climate vonurability indix workshop held at American university of Nigeria motivated me to apply and to become an African climate mobility initiative Youth forum delegate (COP 27) 2022 to be hold in Egypt.

Xotyeni recently completed her MPhil in Environmental Management. Xotyeni also holds a BA in Social Dynamics and a BCom in Environmental Management, all three degrees obtained from the Stellenbosch University (South Africa). In 2020, she was recognised in the Environment Categories for the 2020 Mail & Guardian list of Top 200 South Africans and the Inside Education’s 100 Shining Stars, as well as the Gradstar Top 100 and by the Stellenbosch University’s Rector for her Excellence in Leadership. Xotyeni has been affiliated with the Golden Key International Society, Amnesty International Stellenbosch Branch, the South African Institute for International Affairs (SAIIA) and the United Nations Association of South Africa Stellenbosch branch. She has also been part of the U.N. Youngo Human Rights, Food Systems Summit and Indigenous Populations Working Groups. From 2019 to date, Xotyeni has been a panelist and speaker at multiple high level events including the UN PAGE Ministerial Conference, the 2020 UNFCCC Race To Zero Dialogues, the 2021 EU in SA Climate 360 Conference and at the 2022 United Nations Status of Women (CSW66) AIDOS Parallel event amongst many others. Xotyeni is currently primarily a youth climate consultant for an International Social Enterprise (name available upon request), freelance public speaker and writer on climate related topics and policies with South African organisations, the national government, the African Union as well as international entities such as the United Nations and the embassies of the Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden, European Union and the British Consulate to mention a few. She is also a co-founder and member of the South African Youth Water Parliament, a Thought Leader (Op-ed) writer for the Mail & Guardian and is part of the WFUNA (World Federation of United Nations Associations) World International Model United Nations Content Writing Team.	As young people from South Africa, we have been greatly excluded from international climate dialogues. In 2016, I lived in Cape Town when the Day Zero Drought hit the province. I had aa first hand encounter of extreme water restrictions and water rationing. I had moved from the Eastern Cape to study in Cape Town because the small town I grew up in called King Williams Town did not have opportunities for higher education. My family also gradually moved away from our village because of the water restrictions, poor soil and infrastructure which was available. Now finding myself having to survive through a drought in a city which is one of the best in the world was frustrating and crippling. This year alone, people in Cape Town and KwaZulu Natal found themselves in deadly floods which displaced hundreds, while those in Port Elizabeth are currently going through Day Zero Droughts. For us climate change is not a thing that will affect future generations, it is our current reality. As I type this application I have no electricity because we are currently in stage 4 of our energy crisis. Our rain water is no longer safe to drink because of the toxic greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The question is what will the people without tap water drink if rain water is not safe? I want to attend COP27 because I have watched the climate conversation become a popularity contest. I've watched some young people get the platform and be invited into rooms so frequently that they have become so detached from the lived realities of people at grassroots. I've always been a humanitarian and environmentalist at heart because I grew up in a world where there were no meatless Monday, rather meat was only eaten on Sundays after church because it was expensive. Everyday was a plant-based diet. I am tired of watching the poor persons story being commercialized and made into a trend while we do not get any credit. Our South African ancestors have always practiced sustainability. My grandmother had water tanks, made compost from food waste and planted her own crops while farming livestock. We passed down clothes, reused containers and packaging and everything was recycled or repurposed. After all the intentional investments our ancestors made to care for nature and humanity, we still find ourselves feeling the effects more than those with developed cities and towns. We still have poor infrastructure and services, and even the little we have is being damaged by the effects of climate change. It is time we have more young leaders at the table who will speak from their lived experiences of today. We need to be able to ask for loss and damage based on actual facts not hypothetical stories. We need to decentralise the conversation and also lead from a Pan African narrative. Africa needs to be an equal leader in setting the agenda and also shaping the narrative, and that starts with young leaders being present. As a young, black woman, I will not only be representing myself, I will stand for all the marginalised communities who might never be able to speak for themselves. I'll be a vessel which respectfully and authentically carries their stories, because they matter and they deserve a fair chance at this thing called life we are all trying to find value and meaning in. No one should be born to suffer and leave home at the hands of others, especially Africans who already have generational trauma due to slavery, apartheid and colonization.
1763	Lian Biar	Kuoirot	Universidad EARTH	https://www.earth.ac.cr/en/	Lian Biar Kuoirot is a 22-year-old South Sudanese young lady living and studying in Costa Rica. She’s doing an agronomic engineering degree under a fully funded scholarship by Mastercard Foundation. She’s also a Millennium Fellow at EARTH University. The Millennium Fellowship is a leadership development program of The United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI) that creates a robust global network of undergraduate leaders advancing the sustainability development goals (SDGs). As an active advocate for youth involvement and gender balance in leadership within South Sudan, Lian pioneered being the Speaker of the Junior’s Parliament. After her inauguration into office in 2018, she met and had discussions with community leaders, national figures, international government representatives and student representatives from different schools to understand the issues facing people especially youths at the grassroot level and come up with solutions that could be forwarded to the national parliament. Prior to being the Speaker of the Youth’s Parliament, Lian was and still is recognized in her community for active participation in volunteering activities. Being the Head Prefect of her former school, she is open-minded with great communication skills. She loves to debate as it is an effective way of exchanging ideas. Of recent, she participated in the 32nd International World conference of IFAMA (International Food and Agribusiness Management Association) where she represented her university in the students case competition. The conference brought together current and future business, academic, and government leaders along with other industry stakeholders and focused on how to improve the strategic focus, transparency, sustainability, and responsiveness of the global food and agribusiness system. Having faced the dire consequences of climate change firsthand, she’s passionate about creating awareness and helping people contribute towards limiting climate change. For this reason, she’s working on an ocean conservation project called EcoSave with her university colleagues.	In 2020, more than 800,000 people were displaced by heavy floods and left totally homeless in the world’s youngest country, South Sudan. My home was amongst the 54,000 households displaced within my state. The root cause of these floodings is climate change and yet people are still unaware of it and the damages it is causing within the country. South Sudan is undoubtedly a marginalized country facing the heavy impacts of climate change. With first-hand experience of it´s repercussions, I want to be a voice to the people within the rural communities that don´t get a platform to share their experiences or give their ideas about it. With over 70% of the population under the age of 30, South Sudan is one of the countries with the world’s youngest population. I see this as valuable untapped resource especially in the fight against climate change. The youths need to be at the forefront of this fight. My participation in COP27 will guarantee this by giving me a platform to reach different youths across my country and in other parts of the world. It is our responsibility as African youths to let our indigenous communities understand the depths of environmental deteriorating activities they carry out as part of their daily activities and to involve our governments in this fight for change. Having seen how climate change can displace people, cause deaths, lead to biodiversity loss and increase poverty rate, I am convinced that it is probably the most pressing problem that needs all humans to join hands and work towards combating it. Today it´s me and my country, tomorrow it´s our neighbors and next day it´s the entire planet. Partaking in COP27 as an ACMI Youth Forum delegate will let the world know the outcomes of climate change within marginalized communities and hopefully touch individuals that don’t believe in climate change as a thing to change their harmful actions and start taking care of Mother Earth.
1764	Efeoghene	Oghenechovwen	University of Uyo/ND Western	https://www.ndwestern.com/about/ESG/approach_to_reducing_emmissions	Efeoghene Andrew Oghenechovwen, Nigerian, is a final-year student at the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Uyo. He is also a data analyst. Efeoghene has hands-on experience and training in upstream of the oil and gas sector, resource efficiency, and energy transitions having interned with ND Western and the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company. He currently participates in the “2022 UN Big Data Hackathon”, hosted by The United Nations Committee of Experts on Big Data and Data Science for Official Statistics, Major Group For Children and Youth, and Statistics Indonesia, where he is collaborating with students and professionals across the world to help fast track progress toward the implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and assist in addressing local and global challenges through tech-driven solutions that use data, machine learning and artificial intelligence as methodologies. Efeoghene strongly believes his gifts and skills are meant to serve others.	I am personally drawn to the tangible commitments and leadership agenda already laid out by the Government of Egypt for the historical COP27: accelerated global climate change action anchored on climate adaptation finance, emissions reduction, and coordinated efforts towards enhanced multi-stakeholder support and collaboration to limit climate risks to vulnerable economies. These key issues for this year’s global climate summit make it stand out. Most importantly, I do not only want to take my climate leadership skills to the next level and develop my career knowledge, as a sustainable energy and resources engineer, by attending COP27 and contributing to the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative, but I also want to have my voice stand up for people who are facing climate risk, and advocate for effective mobilization of climate policies, and a brighter and sustainable future I feel a strong sense of responsibility in contributing my experiences, ideas, and talents towards emission reduction initiatives and climate action. As an indigene and resident of the Niger Delta in Nigeria, I have witnessed first-hand how long-term industrialization linked to crude oil exploitation and gas flaring has led to environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, conflict, and forced displacement. Yet, addressing these issues are not sufficiently integrated in socioeconomic policy development planning. I therefore find it important to participate and represent vulnerable African communities at the Climate Mobility Pavilion. My experience relating to climate mobility has been cross-cutting and has involved science-policy interfaces. First, I was part of Post Cleanup Inspections over the last 2 years in at-risk communities within the Niger Delta that have been contaminated and polluted due to oil bunkering, oil spillage, and flooding. This has led to displacements of families, away from their ancestral land and livelihoods, forcing millions to seek shelter and refuge elsewhere which adds to the burden of climate mobility. For these inspections and remediation efforts, I joined a response team comprised of analysts and officials from the Health Safety Environmental Department, The Nigeria Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, and the National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency to ensure such locations were properly remediated and restored to near its former state. This year, I participated as a supporting delegate in national-level discussions and strategy sessions on climate change, adaptation, and just energy transition; hosted by high-profile industry professionals and the Nigerian government. As part up of an Infrastructure software startup, I have also contributed research and data analysis to support renewable energy services in rural and peri-urban communities in Nigeria. Ahead of COP27, I have been contributing to monthly virtual conversations hosted by the International Climate Change Development Initiative and UN-Nigeria.

Social work is her key.	Over the past centuries, climate change is predicted to have adverse effects on the majority of species on the planet and lead to more severe weather patterns and events. In resumen i want to change the old narative by taking action to address the climate issue and share my expierience of how i became a farmer in a semi arid environment and also engage individuals to change behaviours that exacerbate the situation. This is what is motivating me in applying in becoming an ACMI Youth forum delegate so as to use my voice and make our planet Earth a safe place to live in.
1766	Johnson	Amunyo	Scripture union Uganda	suuganda@suuganda.org	As a self motivated environmentalist,I have devorted my life to protect that which God the almighty has entrusted me(the earth; vegetation and water bodies inclusive) as I sensitise the inhabitants on how to protect our environment.I believe that saving our planet and changing our world went hand in hand. Through my work as a preacher, clinician and community health worker,I move interact with the communities of primary, highschool and colleges on planting and protecting our environmental resources. In the course of history,there comes a time when humanity is called to shift to new levels of consciousness,to reach a higher moral ground.That time is now About ten years ago,I was troubled by the extremely drought causing famine in my home town region,floods and drought hitting the areas at different times, deforestation that threatened to destroy my country's environment at large.I decided to try and solve the problems by joining movements which planted trees in schools and various communities.discouraging swamp settlements, I currently passionately work with churches and schools to bring about this change. You cannot protect the environment unless you empower people ,you inform them,you help them understand that these resources are their own,that they must protect them. We cannot tire or give up we owe it to the present and future generations,all spices rise up and walk.	Seeing the need for a healthy environment so that earth may continue to produce wealth. Protecting the soil,water And air. Promote energy efficiency and the wise use of natural resources, through buying sustainable products, starting my own initiative or volunteer with environment organisations.

He is a social change leader with an incredible passion for environmental advocacy and development of the youths especially those in local communities in Nigeria. Otiti is currently the Programme Manager of the African Institute of Arts and Science (AIAST), a US-based non-profit organisation and youth development initiative that focuses primarily on equipping youths and women in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria with relevant computer and digital skills. Otiti's has demonstrated his sterling leadership skills in his undergraduate days. He had the privilege of serving as Google Student Ambassador, where responsibilities entailed liaising between Google Africa and his alma mata, University of Port Harcourt, sensitising the academic community (staff and students) on the importance of using Google Applications, products and services. Otiti hopes to become a transformational leadership and environmental sustainability expert. He is poised to contribute towards creating a society, where young people are properly equipped with tte right leadership skills and acceptable behavior.	My motivations for applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 are based on belief that it would enable me to gather knowledge on how best to tackle climate change and related environmental problems at the local level. Personally, this would boost my capacity for advocacy on climate and environmental issues not just in my immediate community, but also in my region at large. Although, the impact of climate change and environmental problems are global, my main focus is my region. This is because it is human activities in different regions that led to challenges of climate change globally. More so, as an advocate environmental stewardship in my community, I feel highly motivated to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27. I strongly believe that it will afford me the unique opportunity to deepen my problem-solving skills, especially with regard to climate concerns and environmental issues. It will also afford me the opportunity to learn from experts contributions and discussions on Climate change, meet and interact with other participants, and become part of international network sharing the same spirit of environmental sustainability. As Nigerian Programme Manager of the African Institute of Arts and Science (AIAST), a US-based non-profit organisation, I have successfully planned and carried out an environmental stewardship awareness campaign for secondary school students in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers State. This programme was done in collaboration with Rumuji Student Union and it took place in Odegu, in Rumuji Community last year. The main goal was to enlighten the students to be more responsible and knowledgeable about the environment with a view to preventing the reoccurrence of flooding in the area. The community experienced heavy flooding during the rainy season of 2020 which resulted in the loss of crops in the farms and homelessness for some residents, whose houses were submerged. We advised the students against indiscriminate dumping of refuse along water ways and drainage system. We also advised them against felling of trees and encourage them to embrace tree planting. The students in turn organised an end of year programme in which they carried out the tree planting campaign to the people of the community. This is my experience relating to climate mobility.

He is currently undertaking a fellowship in One Health at the Africa One Health University Network (AFROHUN) regional Secretariat in Uganda. His work is mainly to support Student One Health Inniovation Clubs in the 22 member Universities to effectively execute their activities. He is supporting the establishment of the AFROHUN academy. Jonathan also serves as the Uganda Country Representative for Equal Health. This is a a global community of health professionals, educators, and activists dedicated to the fight for health equity which transcends borders. We prepare health professionals to recognize the structural and social determinants of health and to engage in thoughtful, coordinated activism that addresses the root causes of poor health. Collectively, we are building a global movement of social medicine educators and practitioners who tackle health inequity in their institutions and in broader society. He is a budding Climate Justice activist under this umbrella. Over the past 4 years, he has been volunteeering with Tree adoption Uganda and has participated in Tree plantning and agroforestry projects. Jonathan is a member of the COVID Observatories global project team which is working with Indigenous People and decision-makers to document the impacts COVID-19 is having on communities and how people are responding, with a specific focus on food systems. The project is collaborating with 23 Indigenous groups in 12 countries, working in low, middle, and high-income nations, and has a strong focus on the documenting the stories, lived experience, and understandings of COVID-19 and the impacts it is having. Finally, Jonathan is an urdent researcher and works at the Mulago National Referral Hospital in the Accident and Emergency Unit.	Growing up from rural Uganda in a farming community has been one of the most wonderful experience any person can ever have. Then, we could predict seasons i.e. when to plant and harvest our crops. In my culture, we actually name the months of the year basing on the weather changes. The sales were high and the food was cheap. I can say that every family had what to eat and surplus to share with those without farm land. Drought was never heard of in my village. Furthermore, the harsh weather including floods, landslides and heat spells were uncommon. But currently, everything has changed. Deforestation has claimed a huge part of the green hotspots in my community and its neighbors. We can no longer predict the rains. Today, sometimes we plant late and then to realize that the dry season is starting soon. This has claimed a great deal of our harvest. Heat waves are increasing in frequency, duration and intensity around the world, including recent extreme heat events in the US, Europe, India, China, and some Sub Saharan countries. These heat stresses increase morbidity and mortality by exacerbating chronic health conditions like cardiovascular disease, and striking vulnerable populations like pregnant women, children, the elderly, and those from poorer and marginalized communities. It is upon that background that I decided to embark on climate justice related work and currently focusing on addressing the effects of heat and health as a medical doctor and advocate. In August 2022, I led a team of Equal Health members and we organized a successful famine response in the Karamoja Sub-region where over 700 households benefited from food and other relief items following a long period of drought amidst the insecurity due to cattle rustling in the region. Beneficiaries mainly included the elderly, young pregnant single mothers, women and child-headed families. I have participated in tree planting activities with Tree Adoption Uganda for example; in 2018 we planted over 500 trees in Nakaseke District that suffers from deforestation since people’s main economic activity is charcoal burning. We have also educated people in that area about the impacts of deforestation on Climate change. Furthermore, I work with the Uganda COVID Observatories team that is studying the impacts of COVID !9 and climate change among the Batwa Indigenous people in South Western Uganda. Becoming an ACMI delegate will not only present me an opportunity to meet other climate activists but also enable me share about my work and learn from other COP27 participants. I working on a concept to establish a Center for Climate Health in Uganda and therefore this forum will present me with networking opportunities for future collaborations and mentorship.

1771	Jacob	Lekaitogo	The Samburu Council of Elders Association		I am an African youth Pastoralists who is currently working as a community development officer at laikipia county government. We have been marginalized Samburu professional for long time who lives in Laikipia North constituency affected by many issues in Laikipia. We have been living with other communities with difficulties due to closure of many lands we used to graze our livestock brought by climate change. We still have a pain of our livestock killed during the operation in Laikipia, 2018 as they forage for pasture across the borders. Currently, my community is facing difficulties on where to go and what to do due to the prolonged draught which affected them with almost 90% livestock depreciation in prices and died. With my networking skills, I have tried to link them with several Grant’s and collaborations like the Kenya Meat Commission- Red cross livestock off take programs to cushion pastoralists. I am a community advocate and a person who takes initiative to defend and protect my community and the mother nature. I get work done irregardless of the situation and a good communication and lobbying skills. I consider this COP 27 as a lifetime experience which I my community never experienced before. We have been dealing with evictions, displacement and marginalization. I would urge the committee consider me in COP27 so I can solve the emanating problems in my community and get involved in change making Movements of climate change.	MOTIVATION (not more than 500 words) As a change agent and a policy maker, I believe that there is no other time in my life that such a chance has happened in my community. I have been advocating for our community to be listened to and help them deal with their lifestyle which is now becoming a threat to them due to the change of climatic conditions and global warming. It seemed that there was never a solution to our community's problems, it seems that it was the end of my community having their livelihood fully depending on their few left livestock which are at mercy of climate change. I joining ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 arranged by the United Nations and other like minded organizations as one of the solutions my community need to intervene to their life threatening problems affecting them over the years. I see this also as a chance for me to development and learn new interventions strategies needed for a Sustainable future for my community. I see an opportunity for me to broaden my network, to interact with other like minded individuals and a chance to contribute to the global policy making and shaping decisions made by our leaders to make our community evade these pastrolist climate ailments they are undergoing through. I believe that as a scholar, and with my experiences in the community development sector, I have major interventions strategies and solutions needed to improve the quality of life for our community. Ranging from change of mind set for our community and be instilled to them that the world is evolving and so is climatic conditions. I have worked with Ontulili primates Protection to conserve the riparian lands and protection of Columbus monkeys. I worked closely also with National Environmental Management Authority to deal with risk hazards brought by urbanization to the Environment which becomes a risk factor to human coexistence. As a well informed pastrolist scholar who underwent the COP27 Africa Climate Mobility Initiative, I will make sure that I will disseminate the same knowledge to other communities scholars and like minded community groups, Use my Ilgilai CBO which over the years helped in civic education to make the best of information and knowledge I acquired in Egypt to change my community and improve their lives basing on climate change. My expectations are to acquire new knowledge and experience which is needed to improve the lifestyle for the pastrolist community. To be able to acquire a platform which I can share my community problems and atleast have solutions to it. To have a good relationship with other communities of the world and share experiences of how they overcame some of her challenges on climate change.

He is the founder of Eco Clean Active Initiative; a Climate Reality leader trained in 2020 by former US Vice President AlGore and has mentored climate reality leaders; alumni of Oxford Climate Society, a member of Fridays for future Africa and a community mobilizer. He was a COP26 delegate in Glasgow, Stockholm+50 delegate in Sweden also an SDGs advocate in schools and communities, with media coverage of its activities in Nigeria and beyond. He is a graduate from the prestigious Modibbo Adama University, Yola with Bachelor of Technology in Information Management Technology. These past three years, Goodness Dickson as the CEO/Founder of Eco Clean Active Initiative (ECA) has saw Eco Clean organization consistently engaging with young people in Nigeria to constantly develop solutions that is aimed at addressing environmental issues, advocating for climate action and justice, promoting the welfare of the environment and a sustainable development across the globe by creating awareness on the importance of waste recycling within their community and promoting peaceful co-existence in the environment. As a climate activist, he has mobilized young people in climate strikes and also community engagement in addressing the climate issues. He bagged an award of recognition for humanitarian services and has constantly used the local and international media in advocating and lending his voice for communities most affected by the climate crisis for immediate climate action which is already yielding positive result.	The world has seen and experienced one of the worst climate crisis ever which has affected communities especially the Africa countries. In Nigeria, we are experiencing a serious climate crisis which has resulted to poverty, hunger, insecurity, economy crisis and displacement of communities. COP27 is a very important to me and my country as one who has experienced the climate crisis and engaged with the most affected people by the climate crisis, I have mobilized young people in campaigning for climate action across the different state in Nigeria towards calling the government into immediate action. The traditional and conventional media has been one of the tools used in advocating for climate action which his yielding positive result. Through my campaign and mobilization of young climate activist, the Government of Nigeria has signed the Nigerian climate change bill into law and this act seeks to provide a framework for achieving low GHG emissions and to mainstream climate change actions into national plans and programmes. As a young climate activist leading over 200 people in addressing climate change issues, I am applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 because I will use my leadership experience and engagement with leaders and communities to campaign for climate action and to call for Loss and damage finance in COP27 towards addressing climate change in communities that is mostly affected. Being an environmental educator and a Climate Reality leader trained by former United State Vice President ALGORE on issues surrounding climate change and the solutions towards addressing it, I will share my experience with World leaders in COP27 and engage in group meetings on climate issues and recommend possible solution as it affects communities around us. I will ensure that COP27 becomes the moment where Africa will be at the center of the table and the world will move from negotiation to implementation and where words will be translated to actions, and where we will collectively embark on a path towards sustainability, a just transition and eventually a greener future for me and the coming generations. I will be immensely grateful if considered and given this great opportunity in sharing my story and calling on world leaders towards taking climate action. My voice is very important as it speaks for over two million Nigerians that is been affected by the climate crisis.

1775	Barbara	Andeso	The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) Africa	ifrc.org	Barbara is an emerging humanitarian diplomat and practitioner who is passionate in promoting human dignity, particularly in humanitarian emergencies. At grassroots, Barbara has volunteered for a local non-profit by conducting weekly life skills sessions for adolescent girls and young women in Nairobi slums to create awareness on sexual exploitation, child prostitution and trafficking. Internationally, Barbara has worked with leading International NGOs i.e., UNICEF Myanmar and IFRC Africa. In Myanmar, Barbara leveraged her grassroots experience to strengthen Partnership Management and generate research to co-ordinate humanitarian efforts ethically. She further maximized ICT functions to accelerate emergency operations and increase humanitarian access to affected populations in hard-to-reach areas. At IFRC Africa, Barbara has liaised with diverse service providers and stakeholders to organize sensitization events that have built the capacity of National Societies and delegations thus strengthening their engagement in Climate Diplomacy processes e.g., COP 27, Africa climate Week and the 5th Africa Dialogue Platform which was conducted in a hybrid format. Her passion for Sustainable Development influences her work in Climate Action where she has advocated for innovative Disaster Risk Reduction Approaches i.e., Nature-based Solutions and Anticipatory Actions. Barbara’s sense of geopolitical awareness, understanding of the complexities of the multi-lateral system and ethical awareness necessary to strengthen the humanitarian system greatly positioned IFRC as a leading proactive humanitarian partner among UN agencies, regional bodies and African governments. Through her research, Barbara aligned emerging humanitarian needs to IFRC Pan-African initiatives and existing Global policies to buy political goodwill and urge both African and donor governments to act in the interest of vulnerable people. Her narrative analysis defined IFRC’s entry point in the humanitarian sector as sustaining livelihoods; a key component to reducing vulnerability and enhancing community resilience. Her experience in scaling-up the Hunger Crisis Response in Sub-Saharan Africa influences her Humanitarian Diplomacy ambitions. She noted that the top countries facing acute hunger are faced with armed conflicts thus exacerbating their humanitarian needs. Barbara aspires to develop tact diplomacy skills to develop a network of State and non-state actors to effectively address the plight of victims of climate and conflict displacement. Barbara’s academic background is in Gender and Development Studies with post-graduate training in Monitoring and Evaluation. She’s served as a judge for Amnesty International Kenya’s Annual Human Rights Education Festival and contributing editor for Kenyatta University’s The Campanile Magazine. She holds an Africa Climate Fellowship from IFRC Africa. Barbara is a 27-year-old Kenyan living in Nairobi, Kenya. She speaks fluent English, Swahili, and basic German. Her academic, multi-cultural, multi-disciplinary and humanitarian background make her perfectly suited to bridge the gap between youth, feminism, regional integration, Climate Change-Insecurity nexus and displacement uniquely and timely.	I have always been passionate in preserving human dignity. After my undergraduate studies, I interned with a Community-Based Organization where I created safe spaces to teach adolescent girls how to make re-usable sanitary pads and create awareness on menstrual health hygiene. The sessions nurtured in me effective engagement, listening and communication skills which enhanced my empathy and patience when training diverse audiences on Climate-Smart policies. My sensitization programmes linking climate action to reduced humanitarian needs built strategic partnerships and increased donor funding thus ensuring relevance and sustainability of humanitarian interventions. Working on different issues, interacting with diverse stakeholders and donors prepared me to engage in diplomacy processes. My IFRC Africa internship experience influences my application for the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum delegate for COP27, as I aim to gain expert knowledge of the multi-lateral system response to the climate crisis. I applied my understanding of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) approaches to implement Climate-Smart and Climate-Resilient policies for effective disaster response and positioning of Africa National Societies (ANSs) in key Climate Diplomacy processes and Resilience-building dialogues. I believe ACMI’s Fellowship Programme in Climate Mobility with its multi-disciplinary approach to Climate Change in the contemporary world will broaden my perspective on Climate-induced displacement and human mobility in Africa. Climate Change is a risk multiplier in the 21st Century and Climate displacement is a human security issue because it threatens the livelihoods of many people. My work is especially important in African emergencies which receive low media attention and donor traction due to nature of slow-onset disasters. At IFRC, I implement the Forecast-based Action (FbA) by the Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF); a Forecast-based Financing (FbF) framework which enables automatic allocation of funds to African National Societies (ANSs) for Early Action thus reducing the exposure, vulnerability, risks and humanitarian impact among vulnerable populations and scale-up local action. My roles include conducting pre-disaster capacity and risk assessments, identifying forecasts, defining impact levels, selecting Early Action, developing the Early Action Protocols (EAPs), validating the EAPs, monitoring the forecasts and responding to recommendations because transparency and accountability are donor priorities. Mitigating Climate Change involves integrating Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) tools i.e., Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in humanitarian and climate programming to strengthen community resilience. African countries lack a proper liaison within multi-lateral processes to represent their interests on a humanitarian level. Because multilateralism has a strong presence in Africa that’ll only continue to grow, someone like myself is needed to gain a deeper understanding of key Climate Diplomacy processes i.e., the Conference of Parties (COP) to allow grassroots causes i.e., Human Mobility to be brought to the forefront of global consciousness.

1778	IRADUKUNDA	Solange	Youth Committed to Environmental Advocacy(YCEA)		Solange IRADUKUNDA is a Burundian climate and environmental activist, spreading awareness about the environment and seeking to make a greater impact in her society. She is the national coordinator of Climate Live Burundi, founder of GO FOR IT and works as a journalist. She was born in 1996 in a modest family and grew up with a strong desire to safeguard the environment, especially after learning that Burundi is particularly prone to catastrophic weather occurrences and that the floods that displaced thousands of family were linked to climate change. She is working with different organizations committed to fight climate change and advocating for marginalized communities. She is an alumni of the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI RLC EA) and committee member of the Youth Committed to the Environmental Advocacy Association “YCEA” that focuses on climate mitigation and nature regeneration. She strives to create awareness on how climate change has been brutal to the world and her country (Burundi).Solange worked with Association des Jeunes Enthousiastes du Burundi “AJB” where she learned the value of community conservation and the role of the next generation in preserving the planet’s biodiversity. She works with YCEA to help pandemic-affected communities through reforestation, girl empowerment and climate education. As a journalist Solange has acquired extensive leadership, entrepreneurship and communication skills.	The ACMI is designed to support the effort of Africa nations to harness the potential of mobility in the context of the climate crisis, as well as to address climate-forced displacement. This engagement really aligns with my fight of a clean environment and create a strong bond with the ACMI and my daily personal activities and objective. In Burundi, Soil degradation, deforestation, food and sanitation issues are the main environmental challenges strongly related to climate. The ACMI is a unique opportunity to meet other young African climate change activists and influencers to share experience and ideas on the best ways to save Africa and the rest of the world from the dangerous consequences of climate change hence my application to attend the Climate Mobility Pavilion. I find this forum as an ample opportunity for us young advocates to come together, learn from each other and join forces in raising voices for the rights and interests of climate issues in Africa. Since my younger age I was really passionate by making my entourage immaculate, I even remember constantly cleaning my house and taking care of our small garden. That spirit of a neat environment kept growing up in me as I was maturing. Later I got to know about the climate change problems and its consequences on human and wild life. Knowing that planting trees can help in fighting one of the biggest challenges the world might face in the future, I decided to make this fight mine. Having committed myself to climate change mitigation and creating awareness of the effect of global warming I have volunteered in different organizations and groups. When I was in secondary school, I had the privilege to be part of “Association des Jeunes Enthousiastes du Burundi” (AJB), a platform with aim of mobilizing and inspiring the community to keep clean our environment. I learnt the importance of community conservation and the contribution of youth in protecting the earth’s biodiversity. Through “Plant for the planet” training I was able to acquire the knowledge and skills on fair climate. Currently I am part of the administration committee of the “Youth Committed to the environmental Advocacy” (YCEA), that focuses on climate change mitigation and nature regeneration. I participated also in a government program called “Ewe Burundi Urambaye”. During the program we were able to plant overs five hundred trees in each province of our country. I was also selected and delegated to attend the Stockholm +50 youth assembly; international environmental meeting organized by the UN. For more than two years as a journalist and the representative of climate live in Burundi, I have been hosting radio and TV shows on mobilizing the local community in keeping clean and safe our place. All those facts have prepared me to be eligible and ready to be an Africa Climate Mobility Initiative Youth Delegate at COP27.

1780	Mariam Onize	Usman	Makerere University, Uganda		I hold a Bachelor of Technology in Biochemistry from the Federal University of Technology, Minna -Nigeria. While my training in the University lasted, I undertook a 6 months internship at National Research Institute for Chemical Technology (NARICT) Zaria, Nigeria. This internship opened doors of ideas of how I wanted to become a sustainability change maker. After my undergraduate studies, I received a fully-funded scholarship from the African Water Resources Mobility Network (AWaRMN) of the Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme funded by the European Union; https://www.ru.ac.za/intra-africa-awarmn/news/ , for a Master’s degree program at the Department of Chemistry, Makerere University, Uganda. My research is focused on developing activated carbon-based nanocomposite for the removal and recovery of phosphates from wastewater, under the supervision of Professor George Nyakairu (gwnyakairu@cns.mak.ac.ug), Department of Chemistry, Makerere University Uganda. I have been committed to programs that would develop my interest in environmental sustainability. I have taken online courses and trainings with respect to water, sanitation and hygiene such as, WASH project cycle management, water supplies in emergencies, Hygiene promotion in emergencies all from WATSAN TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT CENTER. Also, an advanced diploma course in Wastewater treatment and recycling with ALISON has helped improve my knowledge and skills. In 2022, I have attended several Summer Schools which are related to environmental sustainability including the Global SDG Summer School by Zhejiang University China, and the Summer School in Computational Biology for Sustainable Environment Research in Kenya. During my coursework in 2021 I also took courses in atmospheric chemistry where the major area of focus was climate change and global warming. As an individual whose passion is to become a change maker, I am a highly motivated and dedicated student and I pay careful attention to details. During most of the conferences I was opportune to attend, I paid attention to current problems the researchers addressed as well as solutions and recommendations to these problems. I got to hear the word Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the first time during my internship and this made me read through all the SDGs from zero poverty to partnership for the goals. As a member and student of the African Water Resources Mobility Network (AWaRMN) studying in Uganda through a mobility network and a transdisciplinary water resource management among 6 partner universities (5 from Africa and 1 from the Netherlands), I am equipped with intercultural experiences. I work with people cooperatively and collaboratively and I am always willing to learn new things.	While passion drives me to be part of this year’s Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum – COP27 Delegate, as a first-generation graduate from Africa, I am motivated by the huge opportunity it offers that gives room for an important network of peers and professionals who share the same vision: meet, interact with, and learn across discipline and expertise, thus promoting science, education, diversity and inclusion. This program will also provide me with an opportunity address the risks and exploit the opportunities related to climate mobility in Africa. For several decades now, there have been cases of global warming and climate change which is causing extreme temperatures and extreme weather. In most communities in Africa a lot of people are involuntarily displaced by flooding which is result of climate change. Recently, in July 2022, the Eastern part Uganda was visited by a serious flood which was said to be a manifestation of climate change. Major districts were affected and lives were lost as well as properties. All these are due to the increase in the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Even though I have stayed in Uganda for a while, I still follow up a lot with my home country Nigeria. About 6 days ago from the time I am writing, I read about the terrible flood in Lokoja in Kogi state which submerged about 500 houses and this occurrence has become regular event in that part as I have witnessed the same few years back where transportation became so difficult. During that flooding, we had to use boats on the roads and the same thing keeps repeating itself. This are all results of climate change. Therefore, there is need for climate change mitigation through decision making. I would love to acknowledge that my leadership/teamwork ability and good interpersonal relationship skills will allow me to establish myself in a culturally diverse environment, and the experience will be a huge part of my professional growth as a young and future sustainability change maker. I hope to take advantage of this opportunity.

Having attended and participated at the Local Conference of Youth (LCOY) recently held in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe and Stakeholders Forum Virtual Summit in preparation for COP 27, I believe that this is an opportunity to carry forward the voices of the youth constituency and grassroots communities that I represent and work with to an international platform. My experience and background rooted in leading various grassroots community interventions on climate change position me to be as the ideal candidate to benefit from sponsorship to attend the COP27. The COP27 is an opportunity for me share my experiences, learn from others and gather solutions for climate related challenges faced by the youths and marginalised communities. My experience in climate change adaptation and resilience building coupled with my passion for youth participation and climate action will be an excellent addition to your team of climate change champions. Furthermore, by participating at the COP, I will enhance my knowledge and understanding of processes, policy and legal framework governing climate action hence more impact on the mitigation and adaptation pathways in Zimbabwe. I am also motivated to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate at COP 27 mainly because my MSc research topic is based on understanding the patterns and nature of climate induced migration in disaster risk areas of the eastern highlands of Zimbabwe. I believe that at COP27, I will be able to learn, understand and share my experiences and the preliminary findings of my research with regards to climate mobility in Zimbabwe.
1784	MASIKA	MERCY MASITULA	RESTLESS DEVELOPMENT	https://restlessdevelopment.org/country/tanzania/	Masika Mercy Masitula is my name. I am a female Ugandan, 25 years old. I earned a bachelor's degree in nursing science at Uganda Christian University in July 2022. I have strong enthusiasm for leadership, entrepreneurship, and environmental protection. I use these four spheres to inspire fellow youths, girls, and women in these aspects of life. I have been a guild member of parliament for the faculty of health sciences for 2020-2021, which has helped shape my communication and advocacy skills. In addition, I own a small-scale poultry and pig farm. I love impacting other youths with my skills and knowledge and learning from them. I am a self-driven individual and someone who loves working with a given team towards achieving a good cause. I work with Youth Opportunities for Transformation in Africa and Restless Development on youth-led research projects to advocate for equitable recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. This has enabled me to collaborate with young people from different nations. I also volunteer as a youth champion and support the Youth Advocacy Development Network. We are working on a project integrating climate change actions and sexual and reproductive health and rights. We also teach youth, girls, and women in communities how to practice climate-smart agriculture. My message to my fellow youth is a quote from Mahatma Gandhi saying "You must be the change you want to see in the world." Therefore, I desire that all kids live purposefully, knowing that all actions have consequences and that we are the drivers of the change we want to see.	I am interested in representing the ACMI Youth Forum for several reasons. First and foremost, I want to connect with others who share my views and are working to combat climate change. I want to be able to discuss different experiences with climate mobility while also learning from them. In light of this, how similar or different are their films and approaches to climate change? This will enable me to carry out climate action in my neighborhood better. To have a more significant impact and a more favorable influence in creating climate change resilient communities, I will share the new learning outcomes I obtained from the forum with the member organizations of the Youth Advocacy Development network. To reform policies that address difficulties with climate change initiatives, I will also coordinate advocacy efforts using the learning outcomes I have acquired. Ideas about how to examine climate change measures in the various sectors, such as education, agriculture, infrastructure, social and economic development, and many more, will be a part of advocacy. Last but not least, attending will help me gather research ideas that I can contextualize in my home country of Uganda, which motivates me to apply for this outstanding opportunity. I think this will have a long-term impact on how climate change action-related policies are designed.

I help my environment by planting trees and I am loving every bit of working towards achieving sustainable development goals. A student in the university of Nairobi with an undergraduate degree in Bachelor of Commerce While in the university I have participated in several responsible engagements. I was among the panelist student in a policy of achieving the Big Four Agenda amidst Covid-19 Currently I am joining into conversations about SGDs and how to achieve them. I recently attended and participated in a sustainability movement in eastern Africa. I also follow and keep updated on any trends about renewable energy and how to achieve net zero. I have also expressed interest in joining several forums in discussing how we can improve the state of energy in Africa by transiting to net zero.	To support Africa, evolve from severe impacts of climate change and mobility to fully climatic sustainable Africa is my lifelong passion. My generation is suffering the impacts of climate change in my country. I am recently learning that this unfortunate climate change problems cuts across most African Nations. Any opportunity that will support me to responsibly get involved in orchestrating climatic action and sustainability in Africa remains my strongest motivations. The platform being provided by ACMI will help/assist me to pursue my passion for entrenching sustainable development both in my country, Kenya and across the African continent

1787	Wallang Akwo	Junior Angwa	Earth Guardians	www.earthguardians.com	I was born in July 1995 in Cameroon to father Wallang Wilfred Akwo (late) and mother Mabuise Faith Abungwo (late) and given the names Wallang Akwo Junior Angwa. Having lost both of my parents as a youth, I have learned about the benefits of living together with people from different backgrounds and cultures, to be dependable and to be forward-looking. I completed Primary School in Cameroon in 2007 and obtained the Cameroonian Ordinary and Advanced Level certificates in 2013 and 2015, respectively. In 2015, I began studies as a freshman at the University of Buea in Cameroon. The following year, a political crisis, which later mushroomed into a civil war, broke out in Cameroon and disrupted my studies. In 2017, I resumed university studies and graduated with a degree in Law in 2020. In 2021, I successfully completed a course in Project Management. My interest in environmental issues and sustainability also led me to study and acquire skills in mushroom gardening, using waste from corn as manure, in 2019. As a law student at the University of Buea, I did an internship at the Office of the Prosecutor General in the South West Region of Cameroon, where I gained a better insight into the intricacies of the workings of the legal system in Cameroon and its shortcomings in prosecuting the breaking of environmental laws. With my passion for conservation and climate justice, I was appointed as the first-ever country director of Earth Guardians Cameroon in 2018. Since my appointment, I have had the privilege of putting together a team from scratch and achieving the objectives of the organization. Earth Guardians is an international youth-focused organization with headquarters in the United States of America. Its mission is to train youths to be effective leaders at the intersections of the environment and climate justice moments. Over the years, we have carried projects in the areas of pollution of water bodies in the communities, litter-free environments, sensitization on ecological farming, urban gardening made from used plastic containers, climate-smart agriculture with agroforestry, reforestation of communities, amongst others. Still staying true to my passion, I sought and landed a three-month contract at FAHP-Cameroon, an environmental NGO, as a project assistant in 2021. Although short-lived, this was an exciting and rewarding responsibility. I strongly believe that a clean and healthy environment is a fundamental human right for both current and future generations. The current world population, I also believe, will be well served by pragmatism and adaptation in the ongoing efforts to stem the tides of the climate crisis and to leave a habitable Planet Earth for future generations.	Since 2018 I have been involved in environmental advocacy with a youth base American organization know as Earth Guardians. I serve as the first country director of earth Guardians Cameroon with the task to creating a team and advocate for more youths in the fight for climate justice. over the years, been so passionate about environmental and climate justice and the experiences gather from projects stands as a great motivation to attend this conference and integrate and advance my knowledge on the fight on climate change. My background in law has played a critical part of me questioning the commitment of world leaders if they are really serious in addressing and coming about with workable resolution on the climate crises the world is facing, if the conference impact is really felt in the grassroots, if the recommendation are implemented and if over all the conference is necessary. All this question can only be answered with me regarding my attendance and having firsthand information. I believe with the right ideas, my ideologies and way of advocating for the fight against climate change and implement will greatly be advanced and mode of engaging communities and transfer of knowledge. I serve as one of the youth council members at Earth Guardians representing Africa and I’m involved with serval working group within the network of Earth Guardians like the project grants and on the ground campaign as a build up to cop27 known as CHOOSE ACTION NOW campaign. Planning this campaign has been exciting with youths of different background which has again been a great factor which has really influence me wanting to participate in person. cop27 will not only offer an experience never to forget but will definitely give me the opportunity to network with other youths of different backgrounds and share experiences of common interest. The power of collaboration can’t be taken for granted on this global stage. Finally, the cop27 will give me the chance to hold my government accountable if another cop27 nothing is done to advance in the fight against climate change and environment justice furthermore cop27 will help me in advancing in writing a critical research article on Human Right and environmental justice.

During the Youth discussion panel in Kampala, I asked ACMI what would be their priority during COP 27, the executive panelist from ACMI replied Adaptation and Resilience which motivated me to merge efforts. Climate change has been brutal to Burundi, many humanity mobilities in the past have been caused by climate change and recently, over 114,000 people have been displaced by climate desasters and this has not stopped yet, it is impacting haversts and causing further human mobility. A displaced camps like Gatumba, Sobel and Rumonge and farming communities that flooded when the river of Rusizi and Tanganyika lake overflowed their banks, all these issues forced 25,000 people to flee their home and normal life is being difficult to recover. Those signs need the voice of young people to raise the issues so that countries can provide clear Roadmaps of Adaptation and officially claim means needed to get out of this dark page based on countries promises. This is the climate justice I want and claiming. I have also taken the initiative to convert climate policies, reports and decisions that are internationally taken into national cultures so that it can globally boost personal contribution that advance the Paris Agreement and 2030 Agenda.

I graduated from the University of Hargeisa in 2020, faculty of social work and humanity. Proven ability 4 year experience public awareness of climate change issues, educating people about climate change challenge and how to adapted and mitigated, community mobilizing, case management, problem-solving abilities. Hardworking and reliable social worker. Computer literate with communication skills and competence. Organized, positive attitude with history of producing quality result. I started to advocate climate change issue in 2019. The biggest thing that pushed me to advocated is I live in a country that does not people aware climate change, country where people have no knowledge about climate change and the causes and effect of climate issue. Somalia is one of the countries in East Africa that have been affected by climate change. While Africa contribute little to greenhouse gas emissions but will seriously suffer from the undesirable impacts of climate change. This vulnerability is driven by the prevailing low levels of socioeconomic growth in the continent. While climate change is global, the poor are disproportionately vulnerable to its effects. While 60% of the people lived are nomadic and there live- hood depend on livestock. Therefore, it was duty to stand up and do something in our county but it’s hard to advocate and make action in climate change aspects because of no one can understand you what you are talk and what you do. Education is a powerful tool, so started to learn people climate education, it’s best ways to get involved. Also simple actions still I do is Raise your voice, Talk about it, Focus on developing a love for nature and the environment, climate justice all thing I do was part of advocated and climate action we want to do and get justice we need. My goal is to be part of the landmark meetings on climate change issues to put my experience on climate issues first and to find solutions in my home country. I hope I will one day have the opportunity to trouble my voice and get justice in my country.	The main point that encourages me to participate in the international conference is that my country is one of the countries most affected by climate .Somalia is one of the countries in East Africa that have been affected by climate change. While Africa contribute little to greenhouse gas emissions but will seriously suffer from the undesirable impacts of climate change. This vulnerability is driven by the prevailing low levels of socioeconomic growth in the continent. While climate change is global, the poor are disproportionately vulnerable to its effects. Also we do not have the opportunity to speak and represent our country this will be an opportunity for me. Climate funding is not a charity and we are demanding justice for climate change in vulnerable communities. We need our voice to up and advocate our communities. We need action without urgent actions climate change will exacerbate conflict and natural disaste .Somalia is the most vulnerable regions in Africa. Somalia is at risk of several natural hazards, including drought, floods, hurricanes, and climate-related diseases and climate-affected infectious diseases. Climate change has now been recognized as having had a significant impact on disaster management efforts that pose a significant threat to efforts to meet the growing needs of the highly vulnerable populations. I spent three years in the midst of advocating for climate change and I made significant changes in the social swelling and advocacy of the situation. During this time I have learned many things, including social studies, different knowledge and training. I have mastered sustainable goals and how to promote goals in my country such as goal 13, which is to make climate education .I have taken a lot of courses on environmental and conservation issues and I have also been involved in many meetings online that has given me the opportunity to bring something back to the community. Today I am becoming a new road and a new opportunity. I am honorably asking the young people who have committed themselves to this process to look down on my application. This opportunity is a great opportunity for me to change my country and share my grievances and requests with the world. My experience on climate issues first and to find solutions in my home country. I hope I will one day have the opportunity to trouble my voice and get justice in my country.

1799	Beraldin	GIRINEZA	BIOFARM		GIRINEZA BERALDIN born July 18, 1999 in GISURU (BURUNDI), I am a Burundian environmental activist engaged in the fight against global warming. I am known for my militant actions and several interventions and speeches, including a speech during a meeting, confronting political decision-makers with the existential crisis resulting from climate change that humanity must face. I protested in the summer of 2020 in front of the Burundian parliament, at the age of 21, against inaction in the face of climate change. I haven't yet received any awards and honors for my activism, but that's okay because people like me are less loved in my country. I am the first child in a family of 5 children, my father is a political scientist named BANSHIMIYUBUSA Denis, my mother is a trader and is called NTITETEREZA Akissa. I started to take an interest in climate change in 2009 at the age of 10 when I arrived in Italy to continue my studies there. I joined environmental clubs and with my colleagues we carried out activities to fight against climate change. In 2020 our biogas manufacturing project won first prize within the AUF I have just completed my bachelor's degree at the Light University of Bujumbura and I hope to continue my activities not only in my native country Burundi but all over the world so that my activities have a considerable impact all over the world.	Climate change has already destroyed millions of lives around the globe and it continues to strike Yet governments continue to respond slowly and vaguely to this global problem. But recently it has been noticed that crowds, often led by youth, are taking to the streets. The latest protests were started by Greta Thunberg, a Swedish teenager, and since then her courage has inspired us young people around the world. , showing the power and creativity of youth. I am motivated to become an ACMI Youth FORUM delegate for COP27 because not only will I be able to share my experiences with other delegates, but also I will be able to acquire new knowledge that will be useful to me in my native country. Member of a BIOFAM company that produces biogas from household waste, we do everything to replace the use of firewood and the use of charcoal when cooking food, which will limit the cutting of trees. We also provide customers with a pure gas that does not emit smoke and thus we contribute to the fight against climate change. It is clear that when it comes to the fight against climate change, we still have a lot of work ahead of us. To maintain our motivation, let's draw our inspiration from the banners and signs created by the generation that can and will make a difference. So here is a selection of our 7 favorite banners from the climate justice protests: 1. In Italy, the message of a pasta lover that makes us want to walk alongside her: “Less carbon, more carbonara” 2. In Lille, demonstrators who complain that: "If the climate was a bank, it would already be saved" 3. In Vanuatu, a small island in the Pacific already experiencing the impacts of climate change, students remind us “there is no planet B” "Say NO to Fossil Fuels", "Be the Solution, Not the Pollution", "Keep Fit" 4. Students from Delhi in India explain to us that it is not they who need to go to school, but rather adults: “Adults need to be educated. That's why we're skipping class." “Drop the car, use the bike” 5. In the face of inaction and indifference to climate change, students in Jakarta, Indonesia came with a warning: "If you don't act like adults, we will" 6. These schoolgirls from Birmingham, UK think that we can learn something from the previous inhabitants of the Earth: "I'm sure the dinosaurs thought they had time too."
1800	GAWAAR	Juich	Refugee Child's Coalition for Climate Action		Where I was born and my life journey I was born in Ayod County, the territory of Jonglei state in the Upper Nile region of South Sudan. I started basic education in 2005 in our rural home and later moved to the capital city with the family of my nephew. I had lived in Juba, South Sudan’s capital city three years till the war broke out on 15 December 2013 and I was later forced to an internally displaced person’s Camp—Thonpiny near Juba international airport. In January 2014, I fled to Kakuma refugee Camp in Kenya where I was registered as a refugee and joined Somali-Bantu secondary school in Kakuma Refugee Camp. In 2018, I was later moved to Zimbabwe for what seemed to be a college education opportunity but later turn out to be a scam. Zimbabwe is where I’m currently living as a person of concern. My work and Education I’m a passionate Climate and environmental advocate and actor, I am the co-founder of Refugee Child’s Coalition for Climate Action (RCCA), a refugee-led organization that facilitates child-youth engagement on climate and environmental action at Tongogara Refugee Camp, Zimbabwe. Through distant Online Learning, I’m currently taking a series of online courses in the humanitarian field, diplomacy, journalism, and Climate change offered by the University of London and other learning institutions through Coursera, Kiron, Kaya, YALI, and the Us department of state. My other experience in my Community For more than two years now, I have been working as a volunteer with different organizations in Tongogara Refugee Camp in Zimbabwe. I work with Childline Zimbabwe as a peace champion from 2020 to date. We carry out peace dialogue with persons of concern in the camp. I worked with UNHCR as a facilitator of a project that engaged men and boys through accountable practices to stop violence against women and girls from 2020 to 2021. I work with Terres des hommes (TDH) Italy as a peer educator, educating the community about Covid-19 and adherence to its safety measures in early 2020. I’m the camp’s Youth secretary and a member of the cohort trained for Geneva Advocacy for refugees conducted by Refugee R-SEAT: Refugees Seeking Equal Access on the Table. I'm also a member of the International Association for Professionals in humanitarian Assistance and Protection (PHAP)	My motivation After witnessing the havoc of 2019 Cyclone Idai that result in the loss of property, destruction of shelters, and heightened human mobility, we understood our community's vulnerability to the risk of climate impacts. It is against this background that led me and other young people in our community to act. Though we know refugees' voice is hard to influence the decision-making at the top and many decisions taken exclude refugees' voices, we are aware that we are the most hit hard by climate-induced disasters because of our existing vulnerability exacerbated by the Climate-prone area we are located and we must act to survive. My main aspiration is to bring the voice of the refugee community into all aspects of Climate decision-making. I wish that we shouldn't always be an aid-dependent community but a community that engages in shaping the policies and decisions that affect our lives. If I'm considered to be part of the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Delegate at COP27, I will have a chance to tell our stories due to the result of climate change impacts, to highlight the inventive approach we have taken to combat Climate change in our community, our need to be included in policies and programming response to climate change and the challenges we face in our work. My experiences relating to climate mobility. The slow onset effect of Climate change has hit my community in a way that will never be the same again. In 2020, South Sudan’s unprecedented flood submerged the greatest part of my home village. The nomadic, pastoralist, and peasant community was forcefully displaced from our land leaving our livelihoods, heritage, and property behind. Our community moved to a small barren high land that does not sustain crops farming and animal pasture. The Gawaar community like other South Sudanese communities living along the River Nile hugely depends on agricultural land and this is worsened especially when all other forms of income-generating activities were constrained by the ongoing civil war. The community also faces health risks, which emanate from lack of access to health-care facilities, goods, and services; loss of assets while food, water, and resources that are needed for health become so scarce. Stuck between food insecurity and human insecurity due to inadequate necessities and conflict over the crop and grazing land, our community is disentangling and disintegrating into continuous onward migration to the neighboring communities while others are crossing to neighboring countries. My current place Tongogara Refugee Camp, Zimbabwe is impacted by the sudden and slow onset of Climate-induced events. Drought, cyclones, and strong heat waves are ever-increasing. I amongst other people of concern in 2019 was displaced to high land within the host community by Cyclone Idai and our property and shelters were destroyed while in 2020 Cyclone Charlene did the same. Climate change and environmental events have strong links to human mobility. We must act fast enough to ensure the affected community is capacitated and given the means to adapt to climate change.
1801	Rethabile	Makhetha	UNFPA Lesotho	lesotho.unfpa.org	I am a sociologist who understands human behavior scientifically and understands how human behave within particular context. I am an excellent leader who served as a class representative from 2018 to 2022. I also joined the Students Representative Council and served as the secretary for administration from 2019 to 2021. I also became the chairperson for campus government from 2021 to 2022. This shows that I have experience in mobilizing and having control over large masses of people. I am a founder of a campaign at the National University of Lesotho called #AmISafe that protects students from rape and offers victims of sexual harassment counseling. I am also a co founder of a movement called Girls With Vision on a mission that provides girls from destitute families with free sanitary towels because I believe that no girl should be deprived of a chance to have a dignified period.	Climate change has a huge impact of our lives but not many people realize that. Many people are taking it lightly but the impact is huge on our lives. What’s worse is that our actions have a tremendous contribution towards climate change. My motivation is to raise awareness on that and influence the youth to stand up and fight against climate change effects because the reality of the matter is that it is already happening. It pains me to see my fellow sisters unable to access sanitary towels due to climate change, floods in particular and it causes displacement. I am driven by the art of making the public aware that menstruation does menstruation does not stop during such humanitarian crisis. How many more girls around the world are deprived off their dignity to a happy and healthy period due to climate change? How many more girls are are victims of Gender-Based Violence due to climate change that causes food insecurity? That’s what drives me . My mission is to call upon stakeholders and all parties involved to minimize the effects of climate change and have a sociological imagination- seeing beyond just reducing the emissions of carbon and other greenhouse gases.

COP27 is of a special relevance to my professional goals and career objectives, and therefore I would high appreciate to be given an opportunity to attend this opportunity gathering keen future change makers from all over the world . As a special added value of this experience, I find the opportunity to network with other participants and professionals from different countries , which is an exceptional opportunity for an exchange of experiences. I perceive this also as an occasion to familiarize with good practices as a channel for my personal development.Sharing what I have learned as well as learning from other's participants’ experiences I find it an exquisite opportunity to test the knowledge I have obtained during my studies and trainings, but also to expand my knowledge in a way that not any formal institution of education could offer me.

Where I also had a diploma in gender studies and development. I’ve worked with many development and humanitarian organizations both national and international including The Sudanese Youth organization on climate change (SYOCC), YAYARA firm for research, Sudanese organization for research and development (SORD). And recently working in the Norwegian refugee council (NRC) on the Tigray refugee response east area office. My passion towards climate change is impacting my career choices and motivate me to continue working on the field to advocate youth voice and address issues related to most vulnerable groups in developing countries. I’m also working on establishing a research centre with a group of youth volunteers from different backgrounds sharing the same interest targeting mainly environment and climate research in order to help the government, organizations and better understand the local context which will facilitate designing development projects that address the needs of the communities.	COP27 will be a great opportunity for me to expand my knowledge about climate change and better understand this global phenomenon, as well as to share experience with other participants and build connections. The African countries in particular Sudan are still dealing with climate change as a … issue despite the countries’ weak infrastructure, lack of expertise in the field and required attention from governments, in addition to the damaged economic and health systems, these factors together make it very difficult to adapt to climate change. However, the attention is increasing but again youth participation especially in decision making process have been underestimated and also unrecognized since the number of youth climate initiative is already increasing but the still lack the experience and governments support. I do believe that I can make all the difference so I’ll keep working on developing myself and people around me.

1810	Mansuru	Usmanu Mohmukwe	Let's do It - Cameroon	https://www.facebook.com/letsdoitcameroon	Mansuru Usmanu Mohmukwe was born in a small Village in the North west region of Cameroon in 1994 to parents who had great interest in solving problems within their Community. As a young boy, I represented my community in activities organized by Plan International Cameroon. When I finished my degree in 2016, I joined UN WOMEN Cameroon as a HeforShe volunteer. HeforShe was launched in Cameroon in 2016 and volunteers were needed to spearhead the campaign. It was then that I joined UN WOMEN HeforShe volunteers. Later that year, I became the personal assistance to the president of Cameroon Active Youth Association and we worked tirelessly to campaign for youth to actively participate in political activities. In 2018, I joined Let's Do It Cameroon and we did a number of environmental activities. I later joined World Global Shapers Community - Yaoundé hub , a group of young dynamic youth addressing pertinent issues within their communities from gender, hate speech mitigation, environmental protection, and so on. I later co-founded the Center for Child Protection and Women's Empowerment (CPWEAD) with a friend and we have been working to address pertinent issues surrounding child abuse and women empowerment. I have a Bachelor and Master's degree in English Language, specialized in British Literature with focus on Dystopia, gender and environmental studies. I am currently undergoing a PhD program at the University of Yaoundé 1, department of English in the same area of study.	Since 2016, I have been committed to seeing that the world is made a better place for everyone. I volunteered as a HeforShe advocate with UN WOMEN Cameroon. This volunteer position marked the beginning of my activism. At every point, I look for a way to protect the interest of women and young girls in the face environmental, political, social and economic crisis. I later joined Let's Do It Cameroon and Cameroon Active Youth Association. Within these organizations, I started to see how much women and girls could contribute for the growth of their communities. Let's do it Cameroon addresses environmental issues while Cameroon Active Youth Association advocate for active participation of youth in political activities. Mindful of all these and more, I am thrilled to apply to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27. I believe I have well placed because of my active involvement in youth activism and in addressing pertinent SDGs.
1811	Fatma Elzahraa	Mansour	Fatma Elzahraa Ali Hassan Mansour	https://www.facebook.com/people/HZ-Consulting-Office/100063754757582/	I always prefer to spend some time out of the academic or business market. I am passionate to share with others through information and activities. For example, I was a member of Educational activity students in the university that write lectures, explain subjects, and share scientific knowledge with my classmates for 2 years. After graduation, I became a member of the Maja3 internship for 6 months. My mission was to search for Scholarships, and opportunities, rewrite them simply and translate them for being ready to be published on the MARJ3 website. At the same time during my weekend, I volunteered for the Resala Charity Organization, such as preparing meals, supplying clothes bags and distributing them in poor places, also I helped in medical activities there such as the organization of patients and doctors. I am most interested in construction materials such as concrete and masonry. So I am seeking to discover a new eco-friendly material because of my passion to do my part in forming solutions and safeguarding the environment. In addition, I read more research about recycled and alternative materials for concrete. That will happen by improving my education and knowing the last update through conferences. I should exploit my passion and convert it into work and benefit.	My passion started from my third year in college, Dr. Tarek who was teaching me Material Properties, requesting a report about the causes of cracks and deformations in ancient mosques in Cairo, Egypt. Although these mosques are built with red bricks, they are over a thousand years old and their slight cracks are easily repaired. At that time, I realized the importance of studying construction materials and looking for their mechanical properties, strengths, and weaknesses. because of that, Researchers were able to gain access to reinforced concrete material. It is a composite material that is used in most buildings around the world. When it is loaded with vertical loads, the concrete withstands compression and steel resists tensile tension. I chose my graduation project in construction material. My project was about strengthening concrete columns made from recycled concrete aggregate. I finished this project with a team of colleagues in six months. We also worked in the material laboratory of Helwan University in Cairo Governorate, Egypt. After breaking old concrete, we made a comparison between recycled and original aggregates by standard tests. After graduation, I received a job offer at a repair company. Additionally, I decided to complete research in construction materials but my supervisor advised me to get some experience in other construction areas such as structural design and BIM techniques, before I choose the right department which suits my interests. So, I have worked as a structural engineer in the HZ consulting office since I graduated and took pre-master courses at Cairo University about BIM technology. Although I experienced 4 years in different disciplines in civil engineering, my passion is still construction materials. Many reasons motivate me to choose the material department. last summer, after witnessing the effects of global warming such as droughts, fires, and high hot weather in some countries for the first time, I became determined to improve my academic knowledge to play a role to rescue our earth. Not only that but also the global population is expected to increase from 7.7 billion people in 2019 to 9.7 billion in 2050, which will result in increased pressure on urban areas. The growth of population will lead to high quantities of construction material consumptions in cities. Materials such as steel or concrete will increase of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution.

So, it will be good for me to increase or upgrade my knowledge from ACMI youth forum. It will be my pleasure to participate in this delegation. Thank you
1813	Tolani	Olawore	Opportunity Desk	www.opportunitydesk.org	My name is Tolani Olawore and I come from a class of young Nigerians who are very much interested in changing the world. I am a graduate of Structural Engineering from the University of Benin, where the focus of my final year project and research was on finding sustainable and more environmentally friendly alternatives to cement production in the construction process. I chose this topic because of my interest in environmental sustainability. I work in tech at the intersection of tech, content and community, helping individuals and organizations to amplify their communication and connection so they can make an influential impact on the world. I love building communities because I believe that the word “community” has a strange power to it. It conveys a sense of togetherness and positivity. It speaks both of solidarity and homeliness and I am strongly convinced that the power of community can be a driving force for social change. I currently work with Opportunity Desk, the #1 online platform for access to fully-funded global opportunities and my work is geared towards helping youths, especially African youths achieve their highest potential by getting access to and going global with opportunities. My love for my environment has been a driving force for most of my life's pursuit. I am currently a climate leadership fellow and I have taught climate education classes to over 3000 students in 17 schools in my locality. I am passionate about preserving our environment and the earth, our home. Growing up, climate change was not an issue that was mentioned often or taken seriously, so getting to learn about the dangers it posed and how little time we have to make a difference, I made up my mind to apply myself to learning all I could about it and to teach others too. I have also been an advocate for sustainable community development, which is why I joined The Global Shapers Community and I have led the Global Shapers hub in my town to embark on climate education community projects while I also try to recruit as many as I can to the cause because I believe that if we all do little, we can all do much. I am a prolific writer, spoken word artist and volunteer. I lend my skills and talents to notable causes whenever I can because I am driven by a desire to leave my world better than I met it.	I want to attend COP 27 to learn more about the latest strides we have made in curtailing the effects of climate change and how much progress we have made globally towards reaching net zero. I want to meet other changemakers who are taking actions to ensure that we meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. I know I will get actionable knowledge that I can take back and implement in my home country. I have seen and experienced first hand how much pain and destruction weather disasters due to climate change can cause. In 2012 there was a really bad case of flooding in Nigeria. Entire villages and towns we're covered with water. This affected my family. My maternal grand parents, including many of my extended family members lost farms, properties, jobs and they were forced to leave their homes. Some had to stay at camps for displaced people for almost a year, while some stayed with us. It was a terrible experience not only did my mum have to work extra hard in a bid to take care of family who had lost almost everything, I could also feel the pain of the victims who had to leave everything they've worked for and flee for their lives. I remember as a young child then, hearing my elders refer to the event as "uwa nmebi" which simply means "the world is going bad, it is no longer how it used to be". If only they knew how accurate they were. These people didn't know about climate change, global warming, rising sea levels and all that, but that didn't stop them from being casualties. This motivated me on a very personal level to even take the fight for climate change much more seriously. It was even more painful when the same thing happened in 2014. I realized that this was not an issue that we could just slap a band aid over and forget about. We had to tackle this issue from the roots and try to find a more permanent solution otherwise we'll be putting future generations at stake. Our climate is changing, that's a fact. Devastating weather extremes are happening more frequently as temperatures rise and this impacts everyone of us. The effects of climate change will affect everyone, regardless of identity or location. A mobility crisis is being brought on by the climate issue. The majority of the 59.1 million individuals globally who were internally displaced in 2021 were displaced due to events linked to climate change. A number significantly greater than that of displacement brought on by armed conflict. These facts are scary and I want to be in a position where I can make a difference. I know that attending COP27 will furnish me with more knowledge that will help my work in this field and I'll also be able to meet and connect with other people who are fighting the same fight. People I can learn from and also be inspired by.
1814	Ndeye Fatou	Ngom	Aalam association	https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064694620784	After the optention of my baccalaureate at the high school of excellence House of Education Mariama Ba of Goree Island, I opted for studies in science. Indeed I had a bachelor's degree in physical geography accompanied by a certification in applied geomatics. I am currently a student in Master 2 environmental science. My paper is about the vulnerability of urban areas to climate risks like flood. My master project is on the mapping of flood risk areas. . I am also very active in the protection of the planet through associative and professional actions. I found an association for environmental educate: Aalam based on Senegal. We operate in a context of climate change and biodiversity loss. It is in order to reverse this trend and do my part that I have decided to lead this fight for sustainable development and environmental protection. I aspire to be a woman of power who makes things happen and holds strategic positions. Becoming an inspiration, an example for all girls in sub-Saharan Africa to follow. Everywhere I go, I also promote the involvement of women in development policies and encourage women to occupy positions of responsibility and to take in hand the fight for the protection of nature. In addition to my status as president of an association, I am also a member of the African Network for the Promotion of Environmental Education, a network that brings together young people from all over the African continent and a YALI alumni. I'm presently a Volunteer for COY17 (Logistics commitee).	For some years now, Senegal has been facing the effects of climate change. Extremes such as flooding, irregular heavy rainfall, drought and coastal erosion are becoming more and more recurrent in the coastal regions along the coast. Our cities are facing extremes such as floods, which are nowadays a real problem of urban management and causes a lot of troubles to the population. Moreover, my subject of study is the mapping of flood zones as a contribution to risk management in urban areas through the use of methodology and tools of remote sensing and Geographic Information System. A study of flood zones and the evolution of phenomena in time and space using remote sensing and mapping tools and methods to develop preventive and adaptation measures. To address these current issues, I wish to be selected as ACMI Youth Forum delegate in order to strengthen my capacities and share my expertise. This event, considered crucial on the climate. Many actors will meet during this event and exchange on current issues. A big step in the fight against climate change. As a young activist of environmental protection, student in environmental science and a volunteer for COY17, participating in this international meeting will only strengthen my fight already started in my country and bring my stone to the building. This international event will bring together all stakeholders, experts, organizations and governments from around the world. If I am selected, I commit myself to provide all my energy and skills for the success. My main objective is to gain international experience and technical skills that will undoubtedly strengthen my ability to become an agent of change, to build my capacity, to open up to other perspectives and to exchange and collaborate with other international actors all committed to the same cause. I hope that the actions that will result from this COP take into account the needs and challenges of our communities. Indeed, for a good policy of risk management related to climate change, the capacity building of our communities is imperative and nature-based solutions. I expect that at this COP, adaptation measures will be developed, encouraging governments to include preventive and adaptation strategies in public policies to face these risks

I have been working with communities in Busoga especially the Mayuge district, planting trees to restore the green cover in the place and fruit trees to end hunger and improve the health of families and children. I have been an agent of community development in this far-flung community of Mayuge by teaching the locals about busines, savings, expenditures, and money-making ventures.	I want to see a Uganda free from drought, with lots of food, and an environment that receives the best from nature. Wetland encroachment, deforestation, and soil degradation are so rampant there should be history in my community, Uganda, and the world at large. And this can only be possible if I'm empowered I want to be the engine to work a d end the adverse effects of climate change in Uganda. I have planted over 15000 trees in Kapchorwa and Mayuge districts to restore the green cover and provide a conducive living place. I have set up a nursery bed for trees and I have distributed them to institutions, churches, and individuals to plant in a bide to beautify my community.
1817	BLESSINGS	KASENGE	OXFORD CLIMATE SOCETY	https://www.oxfordclimatesociety.com/	Blessings Malama Kasenge’s story is one that echoes determination and resilience. He is a Medical Doctor by profession and currently holds a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology (BSc.HB) and a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MBChB) from the University of Zambia. His passion lies in making a difference in his space and impacting lives in various ways among them health care provision. He was born and raised by his parents in Kitwe, Zambia and is the first born in a family of four. He expressed a leadership prowess at a tender age and served in various leadership disciplines during his upbringing. With a dream of becoming a Doctor and driving change, he spent the latter years of primary and secondary school focused on this dream and investing in knowledge. He has a self-driven passion for youth development with a firm belief that once equipped with the necessary tools, young people can achieve their full potential. While in University he participated in students’ politics, he served as Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs and also sat on the University disciplinary committee as a board member and played an active role in reconciling students and fostering peace between students and the University management. Being passionate about public speaking, he founded a debate society and debated various motions on antimicrobial resistance, human rights, corruption and climate change. He also participated and emerged victorious in a national debate competition which was televised and dubbed the People’s Budget competition in which youths from across the country were asked to propose and draft a national budget. In addition, his passion and advocacy ensured he was selected to attend a summer policy boot camp in Arusha, Tanzania which focused on how young people can leverage on the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). He hopes to make a difference in his nation in any capacity, holding the belief that we need to be at the center of our own world regardless of our position in society. He is currently a communications and engagement specialist at BeRelevant Africa a youth-led organization championing youth inclusion in various developmental agenda. Furthermore he is a 2022 Global Change maker’s grant recipient with a project focused on raising mental health awareness in communities around Lusaka, Zambia. He is also the Team lead for the Zambia Youth Task team under the Africa Youth Partnership Project being run by Restless Development and Youth Opportunity and Transformation in Africa (YOTA) with funding from the Ford foundation.

Having a self-driven for climate change particularly climate justice and effects of climate change on health, he is part of the oxford climate society of the Oxford School of Climate change after completing a 9 weeks training and doing a capstone project on clean and renewable energy.	I am particularly interested in applying as a delegate because I would like to contribute positively to discussions around climate change. I have been able to witness first-hand the adverse effects of climate change especially in relation to health. Without a doubt the climate change has greatly impacted families, children and the vulnerable in society. Being a medical doctor, I have been able to appreciate how the climate change has propagated infectious diseases like Malaria, cholera, neglected tropical diseases like trypanosomiasis due to effects related to flooding and droughts. Furthermore, floods and droughts have caused families to flee and migrate to places that seem more favorable and this has increased the prevalence of malnutrition among children. The climate change has also led to various mental health challenges and negatively impacted productivity and sustainable development. These effects of climate change are rarely considered, I firmly believe that we must take a holistic approach in dealing with the climate change. My other passions are youth development advocacy, leadership and public speaking, I hold a firm belief that young people are creative and innovative hence the need to offer them a sit at the table of decision making. This forum will provide me an opportunity to interact with other young people fostering exchange of ideas and solution based conversations on climate change and other progressive topics. COP 27 is a game changer, the climate crisis has greatly impacted economies, nations and young people in various ways and there is need for us all to act immediately. The solutions to the climate crisis are not too far from us, they are within us, hence with much introspection and fruitful discussions progress can be made. Ceteris paribus, young people are the ones to solve this crisis and platforms such as this are a necessity. My experience with climate mobility has been emotional, coming from a low income country like Zambia, I have witnessed first-hand how families have been displaced, how children have been denied access to decent education due to migration and displacement, I have also witnessed how diseases such as malnutrition have been on the rise. The migrations and displacements have also denied many families access to decent health care hampering the attainment of the sustainable development goals on quality health and well-being as well as climate change. Conversations around these effects are long overdue, hence this forum is a game changer and I would be honored to take part.
1818	Maina	Michael Muriithi			Adult of sound mind. First born son in a family of three children. Law student.	I have immense passion for environmental conservation. Being in a state with less than 10% forest cover is disheartening. It is very vital for the society to be mobilised to start planting trees. What pushes me to apply, is that the forum shall assist in reaching more people. With this I get the chance to educate more people on the importance of forests to climate mobility.
1819	Damilola	Oguntade	Next Gen. Global Frontier	www.damilolaoguntade.com	Damilola Michael Oguntade is a Nigerian-born lawyer and development policy leader with a passion for excellence in life and impact. He is a new generation global impact leader pioneering the Next Gen. Global Frontier - an initiative seeking to position youth from the international law and development space to collaborate and contribute towards closing the implementation gaps in high-level sustainability frameworks such as the Paris Agreement and the Glasgow Climate Pact. He is a currently University of Glasgow-led Erasmus Mundus Masters scholar in International Law of Global Security, Peace and Development with a specialization pathway in International Economics, Sustainability and Governance at the Leuphana University of Luneburg, Germany. He is also an advocate for a people-oriented and youth-centred Europe-Africa partnership on development cooperation and climate action under the auspices of the United Europe e.V. Damilola was recently a trainer on climate change in the Erasmus+ Worldwide Global Dialogue on Youth Participation and Peace, specifically engaging on the topic of “youth movements and decolonizing climate justice” with clear emphasis on the importance of including the perspectives of individuals and countries in Africa disproportionately affected by the impact of climate change and its associated migration risks and vulnerabilities.	On the 14-19th of September 2022, following my representation as a delegate of the Erasmus+ Student and Alumni Alliance (ESAA) to the Mediterranean Youth Academy, in Alexandria, Egypt, to develop youth-friendly initiatives and recommendations for climate justice, particularly in response to the migration-induced impact of climate change from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to Europe, ahead of COP27. I acknowledge that while this opportunity gave me some practical exposure on the devastating impacts of climate change from a forced migration, displacement and loss of livelihoods of the victims perspectives, it also provided me with the platform to interact with representatives from the International Migration Organization on key lessons and initiatives to integrate quality youth participation in the co-creation and co-implementation of climate mobility solutions at the local and regional levels in Africa. Hence, my experience and motivation to apply for this youth delegate position. Consequently, I am convinced that my knowledge and experiences from this recently-held and closely-relevant activity on the issue of climate mobility would be crucial to contributing towards the advancement of the African Climate Mobility Initiative’s (ACMI) engagement activities at the upcoming COP27. More importantly, I am motivated to represent the ACMI as a Youth Forum delegate as I strongly believe that my participation would not only represent an excellent platform for me to initiate relevant conversations for action at the Climate Mobility Pavilion (CMP) on youth-led climate mobility policy ideas but also propose recommendations within and outside my competences in the international law, sustainability and governance space crucial to transforming pledges and proclamations on climate change and its induced-mobility impacts into actionable impact through the institutional leadership of the ACMI. Correspondingly, it would contribute to strengthening my leadership focus and advocacy efforts as an emerging global leader in close interaction and exchange with fellow young leaders and established stakeholders within the ACMI network equally interested in incorporating international climate adaptation and migration objectives expressed in high-level agreements such as the Paris Agreement with youth-led innovations to achieve high-end impact and climate justice for the people and indigenous communities in Africa most affected by climate change, yet with little contributions to its cause and limited capacity to adapt to its present and future risks and vulnerabilities. Moving forward beyond this conference, I have no doubts that my representation as an ACMI Youth Forum Delegate would be instrumental to positioning youth in the joint policy and strategic efforts towards building climate resilient, low-carbon and job-rich communities in Africa, as vibrant solutions to the critical challenges of climate mobility on the continent.

1824	Ridwan	Ismail			My name is Ismail Ridwan Ajani, I was born in Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria in a complex family. I lost my father when I was really young and it became very difficult for me to go to school because my mother was not financially bouyant. I had to hawk in order to raise money for my school fees and I trecked to school everyday for 6years(j.s.s1-s.s.s3). With this I struggled and be the best student in mathematics through my secondary School i.e for 6years. I got admission to The Polytechnic Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria the same year I finished my secondary School(2014) and determined to be the best student. I graduated as one of the best student in my department in 2016( National Diploma). I worked as mathematics and financial accounting subject teacher at private school Prof.Winner College in Oyo state, Nigeria in order to raise money to further my education(2016-2017) I got admission in to The Federal Polytechnic Ilaro ogun state, Nigeria in 2018 in Faculty of management, Accountancy department. My first result was distinction and became the pioneer president of the Tax Club,FPI. I participated in the following skills and bootcamp and certified to sharpened my knowledge: * Digital marketing skills for Africa- Google Digital marketing skills for Africa * Project management-University of California,Division of Continuing Education * Transforming Nigeria Youth program- MasterCard foundation * Google Hustle Academy Bootcamp- Google Hustle Academy for Small Enterprise. I also served my father land for a year(NYSC- NATIONAL YOUTH SERVICE CORPS) With all this I'm still unemployed but thank God for business bootcamp I've gone through, now I am into aluminium windows fabrication in which I need financial and moral assistance.	I was highly motivated because this ACMI dedicated Youth Forum as part of its Community of Practice, to inform its work, drive common youth advocacy, and support youth-led and youth-focused action to address the risks and harness the opportunities associated with climate mobility in Africa. This will really assist and led me to achieve my business goals.
1825	Mathieu	Dacruz	National Forum for Colleges		In September 2021, I represented Mauritius at the Youth4Climate (Milan), where the global youth prepared a Manifesto for World Leaders before COP26. In June 2022, I was also chosen as accredited and funded youth to the Stockholm+50 International Meeting and Youth Assembly. In Stockholm, in addition to helping draft a Youth Policy Paper, I had the honour to meet H.E Ernkrans, Swedish Minister, the UN Youth Envoy and the Delegation Head for Australia. In all bilateral meetings, I emphasised the need for better climate funding for SIDS and LDCs regarding adaptation. I was also selected to hold an official programme contribution on Climate Education with Ms Clara Latini (Italy) (Media: https://bit.ly/3qGhkNf; https://bit.ly/3QO34fU) Before moving to Tanzania, I presided the National Forum for Colleges (NAFCO), which is the biggest student organisation in Mauritius, of which I am now a Senior Advisor. One of the main themes of my Presidency was Climate Change, which led us to be the first high school student-led organisation in the World & first Mauritian NGO to be represented at COP27. We organised a COP27 Youth Forum which enabled the Mauritian Youth to make their voices heard through a proposal paper (Media:https://bit.ly/3BhFKl1; Policy Paper: https://bit.ly/3LjcZJf) I also presided the branch of ELI Africa NGO which focussed on education and climate. We organised sessions to help underprivileged children to learn more on climate change and also organised mangrove planting sessions, which is essential for SIDS (https://bit.ly/3UbXh6O).	When participating in the Stockholm+50 conference, it shocked me how African SIDS were underrepresented. Therefore, my priority is making sure that African SIDS also get a seat at the table and can make their voices heard before the international community. As a Mauritian, I have no other choice than trying to make our voices heard as we are already experiencing the disastrous consequences of the climate crisis, and will face climate mobility. Additionally, with the consultation work that I have started in Mauritius (as our proposals which will be sent to COP27), I would be honoured to keep contributing to COP27 which is in Africa this year. I have also started some consequent COP27 consultation work with the youth of UWCs across the world, to have the voices of thousands of students from some 180 nationalities represented. I am working with UN Tanzania and COP27 President’s Youth Envoy to produce constructive proposals from this student-youth. I would hence like to bring my contribution to make this process an effective one whereby all African nations are represented and whereby we can all fight for change together. Additionally, ensuring equal youth representativity across all age groups of youth is essential. Very often in most international climate conferences, the youth aged 15-20 are not adequately represented, as I pointed out to the UN Youth Envoy in Stockholm earlier this year. Further, I am the leader of the African Youth Support Programme, which is a humanitarian project initiated by my organisation, NAFCO Mauritius, aiming at raising funds for the underprivileged youth of Madagascar. Madagascar is the first country in the world to face famine induced by climate change and is currently facing very serious climate mobility issues. We have raised some 50million Ariarys for the Malagasy youth and are working with Dr Bheeka, Chief Education of UNICEF Madagascar for the reallocation of these funds. Overall, my main motivation is making sure that African countries and regions are adequately represented. As an Eastern African and an African from SIDS, I often feel like this part of the continent is left behind. I therefore wish to participate in the process of ensuring that the whole of Africa is properly represented and their voices are heard at COP27.

1827	Mussa	Mbwara	Pamoja Youth Initiative		Mussa Mbwara, 28, is passionate about assisting young people in reaching their full potential and enjoys providing digital and entrepreneurship skills to young people in Zanzibar. Through speaking, writing, and training, he is dedicated to serving, motivating, and transforming people's mindsets. His goal is to build a community of positive thinkers in which young people may take full responsibility for who they are by utilizing the only potential that every human being possesses - the mind. Mussa is the founder and CEO of Mbwara Catering Company, a company that deals with cooking, selling and delivering foods of all types in Zanzibar. He has also been working professionally for three years in different companies as an accountant and currently, he is a Finance and Administration Manager at Pamoja Youth Initiative, an NGO with the mission of strengthening Zanzibari youth involvement and participation in positive social change and community development. Mussa earned his bachelor's degree in Commerce in accounting from the University of Dar-es-Salaam. Now, he is at the final stage of the professional exams to be a Certified Public Accountant by the National Board of Accounting and Auditors Tanzania (NBAA). Mussa attended a one-week Tanzania Leadership Program held at Polytechnic University, Hong Kong. Which, was a lesson on the contribution of youth in building modernized Tanzania and climate change adaptation, Urban planning, the Revolution of information technology and the tourism industry. Mussa a climate change advocate, from 2020, has conducted a different session on the contribution of youth to He is also a Digital advocate, where he had been writing environmental blogs on Facebook and other socio media webpage on man's harmful activities on the planet, including outlining mitigation initiatives to tackle these issues. He volunteered in cleaning exercises such as beach cleaning and tree planting to restore Zanzibar's ecosystem and data collection of the various plastic stakeholders utilizing plastic. Through water school programs he facilitated various sessions for students and teachers on environmental issues such as the effect of deforestation, the negative impact of both plastic and solid waste pollution on resident health, and the effect of sand mining that leads to coastal erosion on Zanzibar's coastline. His mission is centred on climate action, especially on solving the issue of plastic, municipal, and solid waste management problem in the country. His passion is to see the contribution of youth and the private sector in the mitigation of the effect of climate change like the investment of recycling company which lead to job creation.	As youth constitute the majority of the population in Zanzibar and have an increasingly strong social and environmental awareness, which has the power to transform our societies towards a climate-resilient future in 2021 I conducted a workshop in which I invite senior-level policymakers and decision-makers to articulate the effect of climate change. The workshop was attended by the Mayor of Zanzibar City Council, Director of Zanzibar Environment Management Authority (ZEMA), Kwahani ward Councilor, CSOs leader and other environmental stakeholders. The goal of the workshop is to start influencing governments to play a key role in providing the enabling environments required for adaptation. Decision-making processes should focus on the supply of the right information, incentives, resources and skills to citizens so that they can increase their resilience and adapt to climate change in an autonomous manner. My suggestion at this workshop was that the government should pass legislation and bylaws on waste management by separating waste to facilitate the recycling process. Similarly, the government should dedicate friendly regulation to those innovators whose work will save natural energy consumption such as charcoal, gas, and water and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. I am applying to become an ACMI delegate for COP27 for getting an in-depth understanding of climate mobility which will give me the energy and techniques to capacitate politicians, senior-level policymakers and decision-makers to design the policy and increase seriousness in following them. In my country politician and high-level leaders are not take the necessary effort in mitigating climate change effect. Brainstorming and changing ideas with my fellow delegates will give me the strategies to ensure youth, politicians, decision-makers and the country at large succeed in prioritizing the effort in reducing the effect of climate change and have a positive contribution to the sustainable development of the communities. Moreover, the COP27 will help me establish a strong network in which we can influence the international organization to support the effort we are taking in climate change resilience and adaptation in our home country After the conference, as the youth of today are among the strongest voices for social change and particularly for climate action I will establish and activate environmental clubs in primary and secondary schools to promote the mobilization and advocacy efforts to address the climate crisis and provide them with ideas and methods that we will declare from the conference to cascade to their communities. Also, I will organize the establishment of a like-minded youth focus organizations network to be able to connect the resources by motivating the community to the adaptation to climate change. As adaptation needs to be an essential part of national and local development plans, joint initiatives between the climate change and development communities are essential, I will use various ways to influence policy-makers and decision-makers to promote the climate change crisis and method of adaptation to their daily duties.

1829	OSMAN	ABEKAH SIDDIQ	Climate Change and Energy Transition Unit, Africa Centre for Energy Policy	www.acep.africa	My name is OSMAN ABEKAH SIDDIQ, and I work as a renewable energy expert, climate change advocate, energy policy analyst, and entrepreneur trainer. I live in a climate-change-affected area of Ghana and have done everything I can to help mitigate the negative effects of climate change in this area. After receiving my BSc. in Entrepreneurship from the University of Energy and Natural Resources, I learned how crucial it is to combat climate change. Realizing that switching to renewable energy sources is one of the best solutions, I enrolled in an MPhil program in Renewable Energy Technologies at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, which is funded by the Global Sustainable Electricity Partnership. In addition, I work as a policy analyst at the Africa Centre for Energy Policy (ACEP)'s climate change and energy transition unit, where we conduct evidence-based research, policy analysis, capacity development, and advocacy to ensure the effective and equitable utilization of Africa's energy and extractive resources. My profile will be incomplete if I do not include what my community knows me for. Living in a climate-affected area with limited resources and opportunities, I was able to carry out the following interventions: • With my background in entrepreneurship, I have provided entrepreneurial training to youths, particularly women, in war-torn areas of Ghana, which are also negatively impacted by climate change, and who primarily travel to the south in search of non-existent jobs. I have been able to equip over 500 youths with knowledge on value addition to cashew and shear butter, which are the predominant cash crops in these areas. • In terms of climate change, in addition to my work at ACEP, I led a Bidigreen project in Kumasi, Ghana, that converted 1000s of tonnes of agricultural waste into smokeless charcoal, which protected the environment because people were no longer cutting down trees for charcoal, cleaned the environment because we were clearing the waste, and provided income to the people involved. • The ride-to-power project in northern Ghana. Bicycles were donated with power banks attached to both parents and students, saving otherwise wasted energy exerted by bicycle riders to and from farms and schools via an attached dynamo; the energy saved is used to light bulbs during evenings to encourage night studies, charging of mobile phones, and aiding night movement in communities without electricity. • Several displacements in Sub-Saharan Africa are being caused by wars and climate change. With sponsorship from UNESCO, I team for two weeks volunteering in northern Mali, Nigeria, and Togo to educate citizens on how to be climate resilient and prevent climate-related migrations, as well as make some donations to them. Give me a place to stand, and I will move the earth, as Archimedes said. If despite coming from a climate-affected area with limited opportunities, I am able to accomplish these and many more, all I need now is an opportunity to represent my people on global platforms such as COP27 to raise our voices and contribute to solving global climate change problems	I am from Ghana's northern region. Warmer temperatures and heavy sunshine in the north of Ghana have resulted in significant property loss, displacement, poverty, and loss of life, of which I was once a victim. Recent oil and gas drilling and illegal mining in the country are also degrading the environment, polluting the air, and having a devastating impact on vulnerable and low-income communities like mine. Heavy rains have also displaced people and property in major cities across the country, including Accra, the country's capital. Most people's livelihoods are heavily reliant on the changing climate, especially those in developing nations in Africa. A decade's worth of economic growth in most West African countries can be destroyed by a single extreme event. This is causing several failures in the elimination of poverty in some of the most affected areas. Like many countries in Africa, Ghana is generally vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change because we are largely an agrarian country. I.e., the national economy is dependent on agriculture, which is a climate-sensitive sector. Moreover, access to freshwater is expected to become more challenging, and reduced water supply will have a negative impact on hydropower, which provides 38% of the country's electricity generation capacity. The way that humans interact with nature leads to changes in the weather. If we don't act now in response to climate change, we will likely contribute significantly to both our own extinction and the extinction of future generations. Even though Africa contributes only about 4% of global CO2 eq. emissions, we suffer the most because we lack the ability and capacity to deal with climate change-related challenges. This is a clear indication that climate change issues are not only for the Western world but for all, regardless of how much emissions you produce, because the adverse effects affect all. Climate change is a global threat that requires global reach and teamwork to address. As a policy analyst, I believe that youth are critical pillars in the fight against climate change and mobility, which is why I applied to be an ACMI Youth Forum delegate at COP27. This will be my first in-person international climate conference (after participating as a delegate on behalf of Mozambique at the recent international conference on youth diplomacy; I am a member of the COP26 Climate Change Committee), providing me with an excellent opportunity to collaborate with key stakeholders and policymakers on how we can improve equity and inclusiveness for vulnerable groups in climate action and deal with climate mobility. This will also be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me to learn how others are dealing with climate change so that I can contribute to the preservation of nature. If I am given this opportunity to represent the marginalized Muslim minority in northern Ghana who are experiencing involuntary displacement as a result of climate change, I will give my all in this summit and transfer the knowledge gained to influence my Ghanaian youth and make a positive impact in my society.
1830	Emma	Mugabe			I am strong passionate enthusiastic individual, whose main aim is to focus on what troubles the world, try to fix in the small ways I can. I am an ambitious person motivated by every achievement accomplished. My most recent role at the Negev as an intern in the agricultural industry made me open my eyes to how fortunate Africa is in terms of climate. If only we could take care of the climate and the climate would take care of us. In my country Kenya, majority of the people in the northern part, die of hunger and drought. This has lingered in my mind as to how we can mitigate this and save lives.	We are living to guard the future for future generations. Africa is rich in terms of human and world capital. It's biodiversity exceeds any continent in this world. It breaks my heart to see that everyday we are losing this mother nature to impacts of climate change. My drive to be an ACMI youth forum delegate is to have a voice not only for my country Kenya but also for the whole of Africa. More over, it will be my absolute pleasure to meet individuals with seemingly endless and amazing ideas to help people affected by climate change and also to create awareness on how the human and the environment can be able to co-exist once again.
1831	Ashunganya Nchafac	Nkemlemo Precious	My Future Tomorrow		My names are Ashunganya Nchafac Nkemlemo Precious a Cameroonian. I grew up in a humble neighbourhood in the capital of the country Yaounde. I began to be truly aware of the problems in my community in my secondary school days. I have always been accustomed to hearing complaints and critics of the poor governance of the country on TV, from youths and parents discussing in social gatherings. This encouraged me in getting involved in pushing for solutions. Thus, I began with my secondary school community, Jesus and Mary College. Where my involvement in school activities lead me to be appointed the President of the Journalism club, a responsibility that permitted me to advocate against careless dumping on the school campus. I was considered the most active and impactful English-speaking student in the school. In the long run, this encouraged my peers to find a niche and push for solutions in the school community as well. I graduated from high school in 2020 and moved to the university of Buea found in the Buea Southwest region of Cameroon where I presently study Medical laboratory science. In 2021 I was appointed the interim President of the Commonwealth club of the University of Buea. And my vision and interest have been to strengthen the school community and the local community in which it is found in the achievement of Commonwealth priorities: such as democracy and good governance, respect for human rights, poverty eradication and sustainable development, health and climate justice and most importantly giving youths a platform to own their voices and use it in contributing to national and international conversations that affect their present and future. This responsibility enabled me to organize workshops under the umbrella of the club on climate action, peace and youth involvement in policy making. In the same year, I founded a youth organization My Future Tomorrow a youth initiative that aims at mainstreaming youth’s involvement in sustainable development and policy making it's been close to a year we have been advocating and engaging different stakeholders in and out of the university in helping us in clearing a major municipal waste dumping site found in the premises of the school community. We equally created a Children Story Club in the wonjumba community where I live in Buea, to bridge illiteracy and develop the reading spirit in children by providing them with story books. Through the children's story club, we engage the children on basic problems in the community like poor municipal waste disposal and how they can contribute to improving the community in little ways. I was equally opportune to be appointed as the Secretary General of the Wonjumba quarter 2 youth council, we have an aim in bridging the economic crisis that exists between youths of the neighbourhood, by providing micro-loans to registered youths to support the growth of their businesses alongside equally promoting cleanliness and sanitation in the environment, through clean up campaigns. I equally am passionate about filmmaking and I'm fascinated about using visual storytelling in my advocacy for a better world.	I advocate for sustainable development in local communities and prior to that, I have had to experience the challenges that inhibit sustainable development in communities, challenges which have resulted from climate change. Some of these have been the lack of pipe-borne water in certain communities and increased temperatures that have resulted in low agricultural productivity and have led to inflation of foodstuffs. All these strains the fact that climate adaptation is paramount as we work in mitigating climate change. And in addressing this climate finance is necessary, especially for vulnerable communities who suffer more from climate change especially in Cameroon in areas like the far north region where inhabitants have to go long distances in search of water for their herds and themselves. My motivation for applying to be an ACMI youth forum delegate for COP27 is to; - Represent the vulnerable communities in my country Cameroon who need assistance in adapting to climate change, bring their stories to the table and pushing forward solutions that could help. - Equally, As a health student am very disturbed by the climate crisis as It makes me ponder on my capacity in contributing to effective health access for all, especially in communities most vulnerable to climate change if the crisis exasperates. This could further increase climate mobility for health access. Thus attending the COP27 will inform me on how I can tackle this issue in local communities in my country alongside creating awareness for other youths to tackle the issue as well. - Most importantly my motivation will be to push forward for climate finance to be truly implemented. Without climate finance the necessary work needed to be done in mitigation and adaptation won’t be enough this could result in; an increase in climate mobility for food, health, water and shelter, it’ll strain further the hunger and health crisis and consequently increase poverty thus affecting effective education and consequently straining further the education crisis which greatly affects our approach to solving and adapting to the climate crisis.
1832	MESHACK	LEKEN	Youth Governors Kenya	www..youthgovenors.or.ke	I am a young Kenyan, A Final Year Student of Geospatial Engineering at The Technical University of Kenya. Co-Founder of Youth Governors Kenya, www.youthgovernors.or.ke an organization of visionary and professional young leaders that provides humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations, and helps build goodwill, peace and Advocate for Climate Action in the 47 counties in Kenya. Founded with a vision for active, erudite and responsible professionals to become the future leaders and Advocates of their community, our members design and organize programs that help empower the youth to be advocates of Climate Action in their community. Youth Governors Kenya has made huge strides in improving the lives of many young people through school mentorship, menstrual hygiene management, peace building and countering violent extremism. We have forged strategic partnerships with the Council of Governors Kenya, Ministry of Devolution Kenya, Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI), Canadian High Commission and other like-minded development partners who have supported us to achieve tremendous progress in changing the lives of many young people and be able to plant trees across the 47 Counties in Kenya. In 2018 together with the Danish Embassy, Kenya Young Parliamentarians Association (KYPA) and other like minded organizations were able to organize the first ever state of youth dialogue at The Kenyan Parliament. Young people got an opportunity to formulate bills and policies and also got the motivation of participating in matters legislation, climate change and also the urge of contesting the elections. In addition to this, due to my contribution to Youth Advocacy, H.E The Governor Kajiado County, appointed me as a youth representative in the taskforce tasked to Identify Youth Empowerment opportunities through Culture and Talent development and also developing ways to cubbing climate change by planting of trees across county. Through my community interaction and mobilization, the United Nations identified me among other young Kenyans as their Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Ambassador.	I would like to register my interest and motivation to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27. I contributed significantly to developing the Kajiado County Action Plan for Countering Drought and Climate Change. I have also been involved in tabling a guideline for Climate Action at Parliament through Kenya Young Parliamentarian Association, Also involved in designing a revolving fund for youth empowerment and I am currently working with the Kajiado County Assembly to draft and pass the Sand and Harvesting Act. These are huge policy influences for me which give me the motivation for COP27. So that I can gain more knowledge and skills to influence more policies to support young people advocate and champion for Climate action in our country and my community at large. In the recently concluded Kenya General Election I contested for a Member of County Assembly for South C Ward, Langata Constituency in Nairobi County, Kenya's Capital. I lost in the United Democratic Alliance Party Nominations and appointed to the H.E The President Dr. William Ruto Presidential Secretariat. In my work both locally I have always demonstrated willingness to learn, acquire new knowledge and skills, innovate and develop new ideas to uplift the lives of young people and motivating them to be ambassadors for Climate Action. I envision to contributing to the politics of my country, especially in the community that I come from because often young people are left out through the active practice of negotiated Democracy. Which will help me formulate bills and policies that will be guidelines for Climate Action. I look forward to gaining more skills and be informed and knowledgeable on matters Climate Change that will enable me to impact my community. I am confident that I am suitable to become become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27.
1833	Dawda	Cham	Household Disaster Resilience Project (HELP-Gambia)		Dawda Cham is a Gambian environment and climate change activist with over three years of experience in conversation work in the nonprofit sector. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the University of The Gambia. Currently the Deputy Executive Director of HELP-Gambia, he facilitates multi-stakeholder partnership arrangements with public and private sector entities to co-design and implement several climate change and disaster risk reduction projects, especially in the most vulnerable communities. Previously, Dawda served as the National Project Coordinator of HELP-Gambia for two years and he implemented HELP-Gambia’s National Trash-free Project – one of the most massive waste management campaigns ever organized in The Gambia. Through this initiative, Dawda and his team brought together 500 to 1000 volunteers to clean up the most littered public spaces in identified towns, including markets, streets, and undesignated dump sites. The $16,000 worth of project has been successfully implemented in four major metropolitan cities across four administrative regions in The Gambia in partnership with municipal and area councils. Over the years, Dawda has gathered extensive experience in movement-building, project conceptualization, policy formulation, grant writing, and project implementation and has registered over 2000 HELP-Gambia volunteers and mobilizes civil society organizations to lead climate advocacy programs both online and offline. Through his immense contribution to climate action in The Gambia, he was selected by UNICEF The Gambia to participate in the UNICEF Africa Grand Climate Change Debate in November 2021, with participants from across the Sahel. During this debate, he spoke about the importance to involving young people in national, regional and global climate decision-making tables. He also represented the young people of The Gambia at the 9th World Water Forum in Dakar, Senegal, through UNICEF support, where he participated in panel discussions on Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, Climate Mobility in the Sahel and Mangrove Revival in The Gambia. Dawda is actively involved in the global climate space as he is an active member of YOUNGO – the official Children and Youth Constituency of UNFCCC. In October 2021, he was appointed as Country Coordinator for The Gambia by the Global Affairs Unit of the 16th UN Conference of Youth (COY16), where he facilitated the creation of the National Youth Statement of The Gambia and supported Gambian youth to apply for COY16. Being someone who is familiar with policy formulation and implementation, he also co-authored the COY16 Global Youth Statement, which was presented at COP26. Like last year, he has been appointed by the Global Affairs Unit of COY17 to support in developing the Global Youth Statement. He is also a member of the COY17 Volunteers Committee. Additionally, Dawda is leading a team of forty (40) Gambian youth, who are working on staging the first-ever Local Conference of Youth (LCOY) in The Gambia after approval by YOUNGO. This conference will create a crucial space for young Gambians to share ideas and expertise for a more inclusive and sustainable national and global climate action to enhance climate resilience.	My greatest motivation for applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate is to narrate the story of my people – the people who are first and worst affected by the increasing and severe global climate crisis. I was born in the rural Gambia, where over 70 percent of the inhabitants live below the poverty line and most people, including my own family, depend on farming. While these communities have very few opportunities and are economically challenged, agriculture remains their only source of survival. However, with higher temperatures and low precipitations now, farming in these communities has never been the same. Their agricultural and pastoral production have been seriously disrupted leading to hunger, poverty and instabilities across the country, with women, children and marginalized groups being the most vulnerable. As a result, many young people in rural communities are forced to migrate to the urban areas or even risk their lives in the Mediterranean Sea in search for greener pastures. This has put lots of pressure on limited resources in the urban areas intensifying urbanization and crimes. Although these occurrences do not directly cause armed conflict, they exacerbate the possibility of it because such economic hardships could force youth into joining armed groups. Additionally, sea-level rise and flash floods are frequently experienced in The Gambia. In late July this year, the country recorded one of its highest rainfalls in over 30 years, which caused widespread flooding in the Greater Banjul Area and directly affected at least 40,000 people with two confirmed deaths and over 200 households were displaced. Many families lost their properties including food items and were forced to leave their homes for new settlements, which comes with lots of negative effects. For example, only the thought of leaving you home has psychological factors and having to start life all over again too could be very challenging. Sadly, these problems will continue to persists and many lives will be lost as a result of hunger and conflict if we do not reignite our ambitions and rethink new strategies to build the resilience of our communities and ecosystems, for now and for the future. Since last year, I launched a Data Improvement Project in partnership with the National Disaster Management Agency of The Gambia to gather data of families affected by climate disasters, which could be used to influence policy and to render support to victims. I also spoke about climate mobility in The Gambia and how to ameliorate the situation during the 9th World Water Forum in Dakar, Senegal, as a UNICEF delegate. If I am selected to become a ACMI Youth Forum delegate, I will continue these conversations and will work with my fellow ACMI delegates to push for the revitalization of agricultural productivity in the Sahel and the creation of improved infrastructure and economic opportunities for young people in rural communities and the promotion of inclusivity and social justice for all people, while leaving no one behind.
1834	Mahmoud	Waled	Faculty of Engineering Zagazig University	Don't have	Hello, hope this finds you will My name is Mahmoud waled a senior one student Zagazig University, Faculty of engineering, Civil and Environmental program. This department is a fully funded scholarship from USAID which managed by the Center of Excellence for Water at AUC. Before accepting the scholarship, the scientific life was not one of my interests, and all I sought was to finish the years of study and go into practical life, but after this scholarship and its fields of study, which are concerned with the problems of environmental pollution through the treatment of sewage, agricultural and industrial wastewater and attention to water problems and also concerned with air pollution and how reducing the impact of petroleum refining industries' emissions in the atmosphere and controlling all emissions that effect on global warming. Because of the scholarship’s field of study, I also learned about how to manage and dispose of solid waste in a safe and environment friendly manner by burying it in a landfill. It is also possible to produce methane gas and use it as an energy source. Now my passion to the scientific life is increased and want to be a science person and I will publish my academic research on the environment filed at one day. I have a sense about the dangerousness of global warming, and I studied a course “solid, gaseous, and liquid wastes” this course content the various types of solid wastes, gaseous wastes, and liquid wastes and how treat these wastes or decrease of their hazardous. So I hope to win this opportunity because of its benefits that I will get it. In addition to mixing and gaining new cultures, which makes me able to find solutions to such problems facing Egypt.	Dear Sir/Madam, My name is Mahmoud Waled a senior one student at Zagazig University Faculty of Engineering Civil and Environmental department. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to attend the COP27 conference Undoubtedly, this opportunity will help me to gain new skills as happened in the opportunity to study at AUC for a month, which helped me in gaining new skills such as how to be a good presenter, how to read research papers, how to write a reflective essay, and learning about sustainable development models such as Hydroponics and Aquaponics. These types of modern agricultural techniques were the earth breaking invention for me because of its importance in facing the water problem in Egypt. I’m a responsible person. My father treated me since childhood as a brother to him and relied on me in his work. I remember when my father was sick and sat on his bed for about a month, I was running his business perfectly as if he was managing it, and after recovering his health he gave me a financial reward for my good handling of the situation. I am a person of strong determination and love to work hard, Before I got the water engineering scholarship, I was looking to pass the level only, but after joining the scholarship, I worked hard and diligently and competed with my colleagues to get the highest grades, and in my first year of the scholarship, I got CGPA 3.31. I’m making a plan for the next semester to get a GPA of 4 and I will do it Insha’Allah. One of the skills that I have improved because of my presence in the AUC opportunity is how to work in a team and how to put each one of the teams in his appropriate position so that he shows his best at work. I was chosen by Dr. Nour Al-Zeini to form a team of 5 people to participate with the rest of my colleagues to build a sustainable city using cardboard. My team was required to build the residential area in the city, and I assigned the roles to the team so that everyone showed his best. In the end, my team won because of completing the required work before the time expired. In the end, I will take advantage of all possible opportunities that work to develop my mind, and thinking way, increase my skills, and knowledge, which make me an empowered person in my field to serve my dear country and be able to develop solutions and positive ideas outside the box to overcome challenges and reach safety in our dear country Egypt.

Principal contributor to the research on: “Climate change as a cause of flight today: understanding factors, developing opportunities in the Sahel Zone, West Africa and the Maghreb” contracted by the European Institute of the Mediterranean and the Friederich Naumann Foundation. Example of publications on the matter of climate change and migration: https://www.policycenter.ma/publications/climate-refugees-major-challenge-international-community-and-africa	Dear selection committee of the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum, It is my pleasure to apply for the position of Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth delegate. I am a PhD student conducting my thesis on “Climate Change induced displacement in North Africa” and currently working as a Specialist on migration and mobility at the Policy Center for the New South, a Think Tank of public utility based in Morocco. Human displacement induced by climate change is the bulk of my PhD studies and work. Hence, I am interested in the opportunity to be part of the COP27 Conference and cast my thoughts and concerns over the impact of climate change on human security in general and displacement in particular, as climate change emerges to be a risk multiplicator for human forced displacement. Yet, due to lack of evidence and enough sources dedicated to research, the link between climate change and human mobility can be often under-looked. If selected to be part of the African Youth delegation, I intend to actively participate in the different discussions and debate over the question, work jointly with the other members of the youth delegation and other interlocutors and publish a research paper on the content of the conference regarding human displacement, upon my return. I am currently a principal contributor to the research on: “Climate change as a cause of flight today: understanding factors, developing opportunities in the Sahel Zone, West Africa and the Maghreb” in collaboration with the IEMED Network and Friedrich Nauman Foundation, working towards the publication and dissemination of a report on human displacement and mobility in Africa. If I can attend the COP27 Conference, I am convinced that it will benefit and enrich my academic research. In fact, climate change issues need to be looked at, both from an advocacy stand of point, but also supported by research and evidence-based studies. I am suggesting adding this aspect of academic research and analysis to the ACMI delegation and look forward to hear from other members working in the advocacy field, for mutual benefit and enrichment. On the hope to hear back from you soon, kindly accept my sincere salutations.

Deena holds a BA in Ethics, Politics, and Economics from Yale University.	As part of the surge of entrepreneurs in Egypt following the 2011 Arab Spring, I have been fortunate to collaborate with a strong local network of like-minded young people. At the ACMI Youth Forum, I also hope to connect with others across the continent and around the world who are making a change on climate-related issues. Through those connections, I can learn from their mindsets and approaches, as well as potentially build collaborations together - for example, through identifying common challenges across our countries and working together to build a multi-country solution. As COP will take place in my home country this year, I am particularly eager to dive headfirst into the community in the run-up, and I would love to be part of the broader conference. I have significant experience contributing to climate solutions through Shamsina, as well as my work supporting North African entrepreneurs, and my research and journalism. In addition, I have substantial experience working specifically on the issue of climate mobility at the World Health Organization’s Cairo office. There, I spent time understanding how health systems can best support large and unexpected influxes of refugees. This included qualitative ethnographic research, data analysis, and field interviews. My final report emphasized measures to prepare for impending refugees likely to be driven by the climate crisis. I plan to dedicate my career to supporting social entrepreneurs focused on climate resilience and the health impacts of climate change in Egypt and North Africa. I will do so both through direct action - in building Shamsina and scaling its impact - and through enabling other entrepreneurs. I hope to use my experience advising public sector clients and start-ups at McKinsey & Company, and first-hand experience as a social entrepreneur, to provide mentorship and encourage investment in local climate-focused social enterprise. I envision building broader communities and accelerators for young innovators like myself, and I believe learning from others’ experiences at ACMI would be invaluable in doing so.

Right in school, my passion for climate-related issues prompted me to become a professional in the domain to contribute at my level to the efforts made so far to eradicate these issues. I thrive in environments where I am able to make a direct impact, utilizing all my assets and complex problem-solving to find solutions and achieve results. As a young professional, I work as a volunteer and a staff in different organizations. As a Volunteer, I work for the water and climate youth organizations network for Central Africa (RECOJAC) since 2019, and I work closely with the coordinator in the day-to-day activities of the Network for institutional strengthening, capacity building, partnerships and resources mobilization, advocacy for the participation of youths in decision-making processes. I have coordinated and animated an online workshop bringing together more than a hundred of young women from Central African Countries under the theme, young women leadership on water and climate; I also coordinated and animated an intergenerational workshop on water and climate bringing some thirty youths from Central African Countries to sit and exchange with experts in the Water and Climate sector; I actively participated in conceiving and implementing the Central African Youth Towards Dakar (CAYT-Dakar) project for which best youth-led projects from across Central Africa were selected, and the winners participated at the world water forum in Dakar in 2022; I am currently a young trainer on meaningful youth engagement under the UNESCO youth program, and finally I have recently been selected as Country Contact Point to work with the Global Affaire Units of the official youth constituency of the UNFCC (YOUNGO) in mobilizing youths from my country who will participate in the Conference of Youths (COY27) to take place from the 2nd to the 4th of November 2022 at SHARM EL-Sheikh in Egypt.

Some of my tasks are: Coordinating the operationalization and implementation of field activities; Ensure daily monitoring of the progress of activities in the field; Preparation of monthly bi-monthly, semi-annual and annual reports; Developing projects and mobilizing financial resources; Facilitation of Community meetings; Capacity Building of Communities and Community Based Cooperatives in Processing Business School (PBS) and Cooperative Business School (CBS); Support the institutional strengthening of the organization.	I was excited to learn about the launching of the ACMI Youth Forum delegates at COP27, and I would greatly appreciate your considering my placement as one of the delegates. As a Cameroonian, I believe Africa is at the same time the continent the most at risk to climate impacts and also the continent on which the world has to rely to address climate issues, these two aspects could be seen in Cameroon. The Northern part of Cameroon is more inclined to climate change impacts in terms of flooding, droughts which often push people to move down south where the impacts are less felt but not minimize though. The southern part on the other side is part of the Congo basin, which is home to a wide spread of flora and fauna species and constitute one of the word’s sinks in terms of carbon sequestration. Not being a direct victim of climate mobility, I believe that we all are impacted either directly or indirectly especially the youths which makes them important in participating in decision-making processes As a young professional working in the environmental field, especially on mitigation and adaptation projects, I believe that these are the two main instruments to address mobility from upper stream and as a result, I would like to share during the COP27 my little experience of these initiatives we’ve done so far. Participating in this COP27 will be the first time, and I intend to join my voice to that of other youths in proposing youth-led solutions to address this worldwide phenomenon. I’ve never had the opportunity to participate in an event abroad, and the COP27 will be an ideal event to start in. It will be an opportunity to network with other youth organizations and foresee how to bring up a common initiative that will bring together several world-wide youth networks to collaborate.

My motivations for applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 are as follows; my country, Uganda has occasionally suffered climate related disasters like flooding and irregular rainfall affecting farmers including our family who are peasant farmers. I am passionate about climate change as a woman. Climate change has disproportnately affected women in that 70% of women in Uganda are reliant on climate sensitive activities to secure their livelihoods. As a woman, addressing climate change would address inequalities because climate affects and render women more poor. As a young woman learning more about climate mitigation and resilient would not only help me but the people with whom I interact with in my community. I have taken an active career in climate activism through radio programing and community sensitizations.

I am a passionate social entrepreneur, vegetarian and a climate activist, having over 6 years of experience in advocacy, policy and entrepreneurship, with a passion to eradicate energy poverty. As a young girl and a daughter of a farmer growing up in Nigeria, we have always been impacted by climate change. I am from the North central of Nigeria, a region with the most impacts of climate crisis in West Africa, such as drought, poverty, insecurity between farmers and herders. I have lost family and friends to the climate crisis, and many have been displaced from their homes, in fact my parent have to relocate to another state in order to be able to farm due to the crisis in our community. These issues are my motivations to keep fighting and providing solutions to climate change. I know what is currently happening in my community is a piece of what has been happening across the world, and the situation will get worse if nothing is done about it. I provide climate advocacy and education for vulnerable community impacted by climate change, through my organization we are able to provide over 86 households with clean energy product to power their homes and cook, and we have trained over 470 unemployed youths on energy innovations, this is to inspire them to take action for their community and planet. As a youth climate leader in my community, I want to attend COP27 through ACMI sponsorship in order to be the voice for my community and share the African youth's perspective on the climate crisis in my region.
1847	Margaret Osolo	Odhiambo	Wellcome	https://wellcome.org/ https://www.thechroniclehealth.com/	Margaret Osolo Odhiambo is a Global Health Advocate with a passion for Science, having extensive knowledge, experience, and programming in health & humanitarian action with an intersection of climate-induced disasters, diseases, and displacements. She is keen on integrating essential and context-appropriate healthcare in communities, humanitarian crises, and emergencies. Previously engaged in and pioneered health programs e.g., Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs); Child, and Adolescent Health; Emergencies and Urban Disasters. Her engagement, research, advocacy, and programming portfolio spans child- and youth-centered health in communities and humanitarian crises, having worked with children and youth living in the streets and street-connected situations; pediatric patients suffering from cancers, chronic medical conditions, and disabilities; and young people at the forefront of responding to and affected by disasters. Margaret is currently a Lived Experience Advisor with Wellcome providing expertise in transforming mental health and climate health science amongst young people. Margaret is the Founder & Team Lead at Siha Collection, a recently established health start-up focusing on developing and implementing data-driven scalable solutions for literacy and access to create healthy, informed societies amongst adolescents and young people. The platform focuses on quantitative data on climate health; identifying the co-benefits to planetary and public health of urgent climate change mitigation actions; and establishing evidence on how to protect health through climate change adaptation actions. Margaret is also the Community Lead for Chronicle Health, utilizing contextual expertise to advocate for and utilize the art of storytelling to build understanding and inform context-driven, inclusive, and sustainable impacts on global and community health. She has previously co-founded The Gold Culture, an advocacy platform for childhood cancers, injuries, and blood disorders facilitating health literacy, access to timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment, medical financing, and mental health support promoting resilience and hope to pediatric patients and their families. She has previously been the Co-Founder and Health Lead at StreetWise Transformers, Kenya, a child, and youth-centered organization working with children and youth living and working in the streets and street-connected environments in Nairobi. Margaret has previously been an Advocacy Intern at Make Every Woman Count, working on Research and Advocacy on Girls' & Women's Health, Rights, and Representation. She serves in the Kenya Red Cross Society- National Youth Council as a Regional Lead, pioneering and overseeing humanitarian engagement, development, and representation of children and young people; as well as a member of the One Young World Healthcare Working Group aimed at promoting Health at all Levels, Locally and Globally.	One in three children under the age of five in Sub-Saharan Africa is stunted by chronic undernutrition, while two out of five women of child-bearing age are anemic because of poor nutritional diets. Over the past months, there has been a five-fold increase in the number of malnourished children needing care, the majority of whom die without the specialized medical and nutritional care needed. The warning lights have flashed on high: climate-related emergencies and disasters are leading to a myriad of health challenges and a growing wave of hunger in the Global South, deepening the misery for millions of Africans. Climate change, being the single greatest threat to humanity has its effects on human health already being felt, especially with the most vulnerable and marginalized populations amongst us – adolescent girls and young women, persons living with disabilities, and key populations. Climate and health are a core focus for me as a youth leader in the health and humanitarian space in creating a world where catastrophic climate breakdown is averted to protect human health. The world's climate is changing and having a direct impact on humanity affecting the environments in which we live and work, the health of many populations, and the well-being of our societies. Higher temperatures and extreme weather events in my country and the global south – droughts and flash flooding have reduced the ability for farming and crop production, potentially leaving millions of people in conditions of food insecurity that result in illnesses and deaths. Climate change has driven shifts in the distribution of infectious diseases - malaria, as well as the emergence and re-emergence of infectious agents that cause a heavy burden to health systems and key populations in Africa and beyond, with medical professionals focusing on medical stabilization interventions though not sufficient for holistic patient-care management. As a medical student and community health researcher, I am taking urgent steps to advocate for the protection of communities most at-risk through increasing the understanding of the effects of climate change on human health and being on the frontline in researching and defining science-informed interventions and policies that can respond to the climate crisis in a way that protects and improves human health. There are however significant gaps in understanding of the scale of the current and future effects of climate change on health; protection of the health of populations as the climate adapts; and the potential benefits to health of actions that would mitigate climate. To fill these gaps, I am advocating and mobilizing for significant better resourcing for climate-induced emergencies; increased collaboration in research between experts in different scientific disciplines; and recognition of the urgent need to prioritize efforts to reduce future climate change as well as protect the communities that will be most affected. I am supporting a transformation in the generation and use of evidence on the interaction between climate change and health to put health at the heart of climate change action, especially with the risk of climate crisis fatigue at a very high.

Sophia is pursuing a Master's degree in gender studies, holds a postgraduate degree in International gender studies and Bachelor's degree in social sciences She is part of a number of youth structures advocating for climate mobility, Sexual Reproductive health and leadership. These platforms include but are not limited to; the National Girl’s advocacy Alliance, Kampala youth Advocacy Network and Youth Advisory Panel, The Nasser Leadership and the president of the Gender Equality Studies and Training programme, Uganda Chapter. She is part of the team of young people that reviewed the Uganda National Adolescent Health Policy to incorporate climate mobility issues related to Girls and young women Through engagement with different stakeholders, she added her effort to push for the legalisation of the school health policy. Her work through the Hands of hope Initiative has over the years touched and amplified the voices of more than 1,000 adolescents and young people living in the slums of Kampala. Sophia has mentored over 500 girls and young women, from Uganda and beyond. Sophie has been invited to different forums locally, nationally, regionally and internationally to participate and speak about issues (Climate Change, SRHR and leadership) affecting young people among these.

The NASSER Leadership fellowship by Egypt government in June 2019. Global Girls Summit in Belgium in October 2018 Global Girls Summit in Ghana in November 2018 Family Planning 2020 Conference in UK in 2017 Sophie hopes that her work will cause a turn-around in many young-women and girls’ lives, restoring the environment, and building a better world for 5,000 women and girls in 5 years to come	My life and career aspiration have been at the forefront of battling gender inequalities, particularly in Climate mobility, climate change sexual reproductive health (SRH) and climate leadership of girls and young women redefined in our patriarchal society. Growing up in one of the slums in Uganda, I experienced the tremendous effects of climate change especially when it rained. Just like our family, many people in my community were displaced due to the ravaging floods brought about by poor waste disposal practices that led to the clogging of the drainage systems. I witnessed girls with disabilities fighting for their lives as they struggled to swim in faecal and sewage-infested floods and pregnant women struggling to save their children from being taken by fast-moving floods. Also, I often missed school because my books were destroyed by floods. This had a huge impact on my mental, physical and SRH as a then-growing teenager. Growing up in this unpleasing and challenging environment built the reliance in me to rewrite the narrative. I aspired to be a champion of change, advocating for gender, climate mobility, SRH and climate governance. My advocacy is at the community, national and international levels, it ranges from mobilising and sensitising communities on the dangers of climate change, to holding policy and decision-makers accountable. Subsequently, from 2016 to date, I have spearheaded two successful global campaigns. Ie. the “Girls get Equal” Campaign and the “Let's change the story” Campaign. Both campaigns combined have reached over 10 million people on social and mainstream media. I have been invited to countless platforms to speak about issues affecting young people among these are the Pre-East African Community Secretary General’s youth forum in Nairobi The African Peer review mechanism in Uganda, the African Girls and Young Women's Festival in Ghana, The Global Girls Summit in Belgium and The Pan African Youth Forum at The AU in Ethiopia among others. My work has featured in local and international print and electronic media such as BBC World Service, The UK Telegraph, CNN, FP2020, Marie Claire Magazine, and, local Media Houses in Belgium, Iceland, Netherlands and Finland Subsequently, being a delegate at ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 will avail me with the opportunity to speak and demand climate justice while holding policy-makers accountable for the realities and negative impacts of climate mobility on the urban poor living in the global south. Also, being an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 will avail me of an opportunity to meet diverse like-minded climate advocates’ to share, harmonise, and network while developing innovative solutions to climate mobility and morbidity. Moreover, Interacting with people from different backgrounds will enhance my contribution to the advancement of SDGs (13, 3, 5, 6,4, and 11 ). This platform will offer me a unique opportunity to explore climate mobility challenges hyped by COVID-19 and possible creative solutions targeting climate-vulnerable communities. I trust that the COP27 will scale up my knowledge and capacity to integrate climate mobility and gender concerns in policy, programming and implementation.

Development challenges and inequalities has been the cycle in which I grew up right from a young age by default of being in a developing country and from a region that was underprivileged and for long ravaged by poverty and lack of opportunities.

Private Sector Experience and Expertise. 1. Falcon Heights Industrial placement 2. Maiyan Hotel – worked as the front office staff doing reservations and coordinating booking of hotel staff.	My efforts with advocacy in climate change governance have been meted with a myriad of challenges. Some challenges require multi stakeholder engagements to help with dealing the effects of climate change. I am confident that legislation for the needs of special groups such as pastoralism and hunter gatherer communities in society will go along way in balancing off the climate change related social injustice. I come from a a livestock keeping community who are majorly affected by drought and their livelihoods damaged by the rampant droughts. This communities do not get the proper funding for the advancement of their livelihoods nor development that can help alleviate poverty. Mostly the youth and women in pastoral communities are the culprits of the effect of climate change. This is because youth especially young male are the ones who take care of livestock and some of the do not get the opportunity to go get proper education so as to afford themselves alternate livelihoods. Women on the other hand are tasked with the execution of home chores and thus they do not get to engage in sustainable livelihoods leaving them in a vicious cycle of poverty coupled with gender based violence. Therefore inclusion of this special needs in legislation will be a game changer in how pastoralism as a form of livelihoods is perceived. The climate change legislation that is passed at the devolved levels of government as well doesn't take into consideration the needs of this pastoral communities. Therefore accorded the opportunity to be Africa Climate Mobility Initiative would for me be an opportunity to network and learn of best practices with other youth across Africa and the globe which I can incorporate to my environmental advocacy journey. It will be a learning experience that will help me with helping make change at home.
1853	Rita Naa Ayorkor	Aryee	Fountain of youth International School	Fountain of youth International School/ Patience Sencherey	Rita Naa Ayorkor Aryee is my name. I am 28 year of age and a social studies , Religious and Moral Education Facilitator as well as Basic Design & Technology facilitator at Fountain of Youth International School in Accra, Ghana. With my active participation in Climate Change discussion in National Councils such as the Youth Climate Council Ghana (YCC GHANA) ,Local Conference of Youth (LCOY) just to mention a few as really taught me a lot and I have also imparted alot into my Learners and other individuals in my community. I have been educating my student on climate Change and its impact on the planet. As a patron of Girl Child Education in the School which I teach,I have been able to educate and build resilience in tackling Climate Change issues and how best to solve most of its issues in our individual communities and the country as a whole. I have been advocating for Climate Change for the past two years now.This year I took upon myself to speak about climate change not only to my Learners, neighbours alone but also to spread the advocacy through some social media handles such as Facebook (Rita Aryee), YouTube (Rita Aryee) and yet hoping to spread it across all other social media platforms soon. I am passionate and very positive in making or helping put drastic measures in place to aid check the alarming impacts of Climate Change in my Community, County, Africa and the World at Large.	My motivation (s) for applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 comes with a lot of insightful ideas which I would love to share with other delegates who would be present at the conference but most importantly I would be very grateful and thankful if am considered this life changing opportunity. I am so poised and strongly motivated when given this unique opportunity, I am positive I would be able to acquire much knowledge and interact with other great experts when it comes to the issues surrounding Climate Change leading to Climate Mobility thus, it's negative impacts on the Planet Earth,how best to bring a constant change or development in our various Communities, Countries and the World at Large. However,my experience relating to Climate Mobility is that one major issue currently happening in my community and in other parts or regions in my Country. Climate Change as we all know refers to long- term shift in temperature and weather partners. These shift may be natural or most often caused by human activities with practices such as burning of fossil fuel like coal,oil and natural gas causing a chunk of global emissions. As deforestation also forms a major factor of climate change leading to Climate Mobility,I will like to relate its impacts or effects to the youth most especially girls and women in my country and Africa as a whole. The indiscriminate felling of trees without replanting,leaves the land bare causing severe erosion whenever there is a heavy rainfall/ downpour. Again engaging in any agricultural activities without any good supervision in terms of the Climate condition or much studies about what has being cultivated can also be destroyed by natural or human activities over a period of time causing severe hunger due to loss of soil fertility. Also whenever there is a high temperature in climate i.e high sunshine, there is dryness of water bodies causing drought which finally leads to shortage of food crops since good water supply also has a major role it plays in the crop production activities. These in most cases render the youth especially,young girls and women to migrate from these rural area to the urban areas in search for white collar jobs to satisfy their needs and desires. As a matter of fact these young girls and women becomes so vulnerable and are left to their fate to battle with various challenges they might find themselves within. Since most of these situations are beyond their control they then tend to rather engage themselves in so many social vices.

In my education path, I passed the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education at Got Kachieng’ Primary School in 2004 and proceeded to St. Mary’s Lwak Girls’ High School where I had an exemplary performance of an A- in 2008. Afterwards, I pursued a Bachelor of Commerce course, specializing in Human Resource Management at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology emerging as a top student after attaining First Class Honors and graduated in 2014. Currently, I am taking an MSc course in Governance and Regional Integration at the African Union-Pan African University, Institute of Governance, Humanities, and Social Sciences. In addition, I have done other professional and short courses such as Certified Public Accountant in 2012, Certified Human Resource Professional awaiting the official gazettement on 19th October 2022, and Microsoft Office Suite (Computer Packages). Also, I have taken Courses such as Fundamentals of Digital Marketing by Google Digital Skills for Africa, Employee Stress and Well-being by Metropolitan School of Business and Management in London, and National Urban Policy e-course by the UN Habitat. Professionally, I have had the opportunity to serve as an intern at the Judiciary of Kenya attached at the procurement directorate at the Supreme Court. Here, I performed duties such as correspondence handling, updating staff records, compiling reports, preparation and scheduling of meetings, tender management, screening of applications and other recruitment procedures. I also served as an attaché at the Ministry of Education in the Human Resources Department carrying out duties such as leave management, updating staff records, transfer and secondments, report writing, general records management, and assisting in the recruitment process. Up until March 2022, I served as HR Assistant at Kazy 360 charged with roles like preparing training programs and also assisting in training, recruitment and selection, payroll management, updating employee records, correspondence handling, compensation and benefits documentation.

Other than these roles, I have served in various leadership positions such as library captain in secondary school, student academic leader in the undergraduate level, class delegate at the Masters level, and Secretary for the Association of the Colleges and Universities Adventist Students in Kenya among other leadership roles in the social circle. I have also engaged in research as a freelance writer on articles majorly pertaining to gender, climate, youth, management, and democracy.	Climate change has been and remains a central topic of discussion around the globe. This is not only because of the vital role climate plays in the day-to-day operations of the world’s population but also due to the challenges posed by climate change as well as the threat it poses to the very existence of human life. Emphasis and focus have been on environmentalists among other specialist on matters climate. However, I strongly believe that action to avert the impact of global change on the planet should be a role played by all and not just selected few. As a youth, there is increasing need for involvement of the young population at the round table since we make up over 24% of the world’s population. Further, the youth have the energy, skill, and ability to bring positive changes from the community to national levels if well integrated by not only giving them a voice but also, empowering them to implement various programs which will eventually save our planet from the climate issue experienced today. I am thus motivated to be part of the youth delegation at The Africa Climate Mobility Initiative Youth Forum set for November 2022 to share what the youth can do as action on climate mobility and also learn from the presenters and colleagues on how to best synergize the available options for the same. As a human resource professional and currently governance student, I believe that the people are not only assets in the organizations but also back at home in their families and communities. Therefore, sensitization on climate change and ways of minimizing its impact or even improving green practices at the workplace and at home will go a long way to support the initiative of climate mobility. As part of my engagement, I have done several activities alone and with colleagues relating to climate mobility. For example, in our rural community, together with other youths, we came up with an initiative of growing trees every planting season in the respective homesteads. Here, we partner with like-minded organizations which offer seedlings at affordable prices. This has for the last three years realized a great change in the community by making it cooler, and the water catchments have improved. Coming from an area where sand harvesting is rampant for construction, as youths we have liaised with area chief to sensitize residents on responsible harvesting practice and evaluating other environmental-friendly sources of income such as keeping chicken and farming. While at the workplace, we organized tree planting sessions at the various learning centers we visited while mentoring youths on career choices. Further, the HR month saw all human resource professionals registered by the IHRM which I am a member of engage in discussions and activities around green management. Other than these, as a freelance writer, I have written several articles and done research on matters pertaining to climate, gender, youth, and management which are thematic issues sensitizing on need for climate action from grassroot levels.

1863	STEPHY	MBIELOLA DJESSE	Pas en Avant (Steps forward in english)		Graduated in Management and Computer Science. I started as a manager at JMN Trading, a sole proprietorship in general trading. Currently, I am the Executive Head of the Pas en Avant Foundation, an organization that works for the environment and for sustainable development. Since January 2022, designated as Ambassador of the Global Peace Chain, (A world organization for peace), where I carry out actions in favor and for the promotion of peace. I diligently followed several certifying training courses including: Training on waste transformation from Plastic Odyssey France. Training on decent work and youth employment at the Francophone Digital Center of the Francophonie University Agency. Project Management Training from Place for Africa, an Initiative of the German organization MeineWelt e.V Training in Entrepreneurship and business management organized by the Swiss Chamber of Commerce in the DRC, in collaboration with the University of Geneva and the Swiss Embassy, a training in Leadership, and Business Entrepreneurship of the Regional Center of Leadership West Africa Dakar organized by the US Department. Training in organizational leadership and good governance of the Association for African Solidarity Youth Congo Brazzaville and North America. I am a member of several networks and communities including: -GYBN (Global Youth Biodiversity Network) : An international network of youth organizations and individuals from every global region who have united together with a common goal: preventing the loss of biodiversity and preserving Earth's natural resources. -AYEA : A pan-African network that brings together young activists, NGOs, associations, businesses, youth movements, etc., working to address the challenges of climate change that threaten the African continent and the promotion of the environment in Africa. -G100: An influential group of women leaders from around the world, for powerful advocacy, awareness and impact across governments and global organizations for a gender equal future in this decade. -UPG (United People Global) -YALI network (Young African Leaders Initiative) -East African Youth Association. -Community and Alumni (Former students) Plastic Odyssey France -Alumni (Former students) of Kinshasa Innovation Center, program of the Swiss Chamber of Commerce in the DRC and the University of Geneva.	The abusive or illegal exploitation of wood: the exploitation of trees, of the forest provides wood-energy which is used by households in individual chimneys, in collective boiler rooms for district heating, for industry and the agriculture. Unfortunately, the forest is considered as a simple energy resource, without consideration for its ecological value (biodiversity, role against natural risks, etc.). As Executive Head of the Pas en Avant Foundation, I am committed to the fight against climate change. I develop initiatives that place young people and local populations at the center of climate change adaptation strategies. For example, we promote access to improved cooking stoves and renewable energies, we train people in agricultural techniques that consume less wood. For example Diffusion of improved stoves, which channel heat. They save between 25 and 50% of the wood compared to basic fireplaces. This is beneficial for the environment, but also for health, and they allow to generate savings in the long term by buying less wood. In both rural and urban areas, people in their daily activities perform tasks that have a negative impact on the environment and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. We sensitize the population to the devastating attitudes of our environment favoring climate change, to environmental issues, to the adoption of good gestures. We can positively transform our environment by adopting responsible behaviors. Popularize our fight with the population regarding the fight against climate change. Considerable amounts of carbon have been released due to deforestation. It is therefore vital to continue to store carbon and prevent its release into the atmosphere if we want to fight effectively against global warming. Programs to introduce the population to agroforestry and reforestation activities and the introduction of new farming practices: I want to acquire the additional knowledge and skills needed, better understand climate mobility and think critically about it in order to find sustainable solutions. The Cop27 will allow direct contact, a privileged moment of exchange, the opportunity to dialogue with different participants, to take advantage of their experiences and benefit from their expertise. Through this space for debate and exchange, I will be even better able to take up the challenge related to the climate.
1864	Jason	Kilembe	University of Kinshasa	https://sites.google.com/congoscienceinitiative.org/congo-science-initiative	I am Jason KILEMBE, young researcher and Assistant Lecturer at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Kinshasa, Co-founder of several scientific structures (https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6976893278348554240/ ).In my research and activities, the studies and environmental impacts are also my key points on which, by some trainings and activities, I commit myself to inform and accompany the fight against climate change. I accompany several researchers of my university in the research on the evaluation of environmental impacts and analysis of pollution indices. At Durable Development Consulting Sarl Serving as Environmental Expert; I am responsible for the following:  Active participation in sustainable development projects in all sectors in the DRC to achieve the following: • Environmental Impact Assessments • Environmental assessments of schemes, plans and programs • Landscape studies • Environmental audits • Inventories of natural environments • Inventories of environmental constraints • Environmental monitoring • Hazard studies • Simplified and detailed risk assessments of mining activities	The climate crisis has sparked a crisis of mobility: Around the world, in 2019 alone, some 23.9 million people were involuntarily displaced by weather-related disasters. That dwarfs the 8.5 million people displaced by the factors we so often associate with migration and displacement: conflict and violence. In view of this situation, it becomes urgent for us to think in the sense of maintaining the well-being and the balance of what surrounds us. That is why we think that our knowledge must be invested for the construction and not the destruction of what surrounds us. Therefore, to use what we have and know for the protection of this nature becomes more than imperative. Being in the head of many youths move and my experience as Environmental Expert and research assistant. Becoming an ACMI Youth Forum delegate will allow me to be UpToDate and to lift my voice as a climate change advocate. I could share may experiences from the outputs of previous environmental harassment studies and how climate change is really impacting my community and how can we struggle against. Furthermore, I will share my experience on how climate change is understood in some local communities in my cities and how we manage with some uninformed people about climate change.
1865	Stephanie	Nyapela	Kenyatta University		I Am Stephanie Nyapela, a master's student of MSC. Sustainable urban development at Kenyatta University. My ultimate goal in life is to be able to mold future generations and to utilize the knowledge acquired in school to solve future and current issues arising in urban areas caused by immigration due to climate impacts. One of the few achievements that am proud of is the sensitization of my community on environmental conservation and management.	The motivation behind this application arises from the simple desire/dream to attend the conference of parties in my lifetime and this opportunity has presented itself at the right time. Besides becoming a delegate is an absolute dream of mine. Being an ACMI youth forum delegate is a bonus since its objectives like addressing the risks and harnessing the opportunities associated with climate mobility align with my own.
1866	Nouran	Barakat	Alternative Policy Solutions - The American University in Cairo	https://aps.aucegypt.edu/en/about	Having recently completed my undergraduate journey at The American University in Cairo, I am eager to channel my knowledge, experience, and energy into positively contributing to my respective communities. I studied Political Science, having specialized in Public & International Law, International Relations, and completed minors in Anthropology and Global & Public Affairs. I am passionate about studying, researching and contributing in the fields of community development, urban development, decolonization, ethnography, minority and resistance studies. I am a 22 year old woman who believes that having any form of privilege is a responsibility to act consciously. I am keen on using my privileges to create opportunities for gender empowerment and provide new and diverse platforms for women. I aspire to grow in the field of inclusive development, which I am actively working towards. It is important to create blueprints for social development that are centred around people, the beneficiaries, and created with them through the employment of ethnographic methods and consistent means of monitoring and evaluation. My undergraduate research was accepted into the 2022 Annual Conference for Excellence in Research, Entrepreneurship and Creative Achievement to be held at the American University in Cairo. The title of my research is: International Development as Neoimperialism; the Manifestation of the Sustainable Development Goals in Postcolonial Contexts. I was also accepted to present my research on the instrumentalization of terrorism within and among states as a panelist in the 2022 Virtual World Congress organized by the International Association for Political Science Students. I am currently working as a researcher at Alternative Policy Solutions (APS), a research project funded by Friedrich Ebert Stiftung. In my capacity as researcher, I am focused on assessing and critically approaching social protection programs in Egypt as well as climate justice. The latter is of increasing significance, and it is important that we address climate related issues from a social justice standpoint that does not compromise the lived realities of people. It is essential that considerable work, in practice, policy and academia, is done to materialize the notion of a just energy transition where resources and opportunities are equitably distributed. Before joining APS, I was the Vice President of the AUC Student Union, where I took on the role of advocating for student rights, concerns, demands, and voices. In doing so, I worked closely with the AUC Senior Leadership to lobby for solutions to pressing institutional issues, as well as with the different stakeholders within AUC including managerial and educational leaders. We also worked to provide services to workers on campus, through a social responsibility approach. All the while, I was responsible for internally managing the 11 committees of the Student Union, which included external functions such as organizing events and internal functions such as treasury and fundraising.	Egypt hosting COP27 is exciting, because it is among the countries in the MENA region that suffer from the disproportionate effects of climate change. Holding the COP27 Presidency is an opportunity for meaningful change to patterns of participation in global conversations about the climate. It is also an opportunity for increased inter-regional and intra-regional cooperation for climate change mitigation policy; a prospect which began in Glasgow. I am excited about this opportunity because I am a firm believer in, not only the potential for change arising from youth, but also the importance of informing decision making through the experiences of youth. Youth are powerful agents and accelerators. We must sustainably participate in discussions surrounding climate action and climate justice before, during, and beyond COP27, on local, regional, and global levels. Intergenerational solidarity, participation, and dialogue are of utmost importance. Youth voices belong in conversations on climate justice and just energy transitions. The effects of climate change are felt by everyone, although not everyone faces them in the same way or to the same extent. While I am fortunate to have not migrated, by choice or force, for reasons related to climate change, I am aware that many others did not have the same experience. This is why climate mobility research is important. My experience with climate mobility is the research I carry out independently and as part of APS, where I am responsible for curating the online campaign about climate justice; organizing and producing content. It is necessary for more research and discussions to be invested in climate mobility. As a young woman who is active, aware, and eager to make the world a safer and more equitable place, I am keen on being present in the Youth Forum at COP27, where I will have the space to raise the voices of my generation, my gender, and my region in global conversations about climate change. Being given the opportunity to contribute to COP27 as a delegate in the Youth Forum will be an unmatched privilege that I will not take lightly, and will do my best to uphold.
1867	Veronica	Awino	Pan Africa University Institute of Governance,Humanities and Social sciences	https://pau-au.africa/	Biography Veronica grew up as young girl in the rural areas in Siaya county in Kenya an area that has been greatly hit by the effects of climate change such as drought. Being raised up without both parents was the most challenging mostly when it came to issues of paying for school fees and this started giving her pressure in high school until the later years when she learnt self-awareness and determination. She worked hard and managed to join University through a government scholarship since her mother was not in a position to pay, she worked so hard and could engage in community volunteer opportunities where she could meet good Samaritans to provide her with some upkeep allowance to cater for personal needs at times she could even do marketing for company to cater for personal and basic needs. She graduated with a first class honor's degree and now is an experienced professional in international issues such as in climate change, she takes pride in providing the best possible results. As a student researcher at Pan African University, her goals include; Conducting a study on why climate change affect women and men differently yet they both contribute to the causes of climate change, displaced women suffer more as a result of disasters caused by climate change, therefore the realization of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene amongst women is her priority goal. Environmental conservation in the slum is also part of her interests through volunteering in community cleanup activities and waste management. Her commitment was recognized by the World Food Programme. She enjoys working with vulnerable members of the community such as refugees, migrants and Internally Displaced Persons and helping them to see the world from a different perspective. She is currently pursuing masters in Governance and Regional Integration through a scholarship program by the African Union and before the scholarship she has engaged extensively on community projects both as social worker and community volunteer.	I am writing to express my interest to participate in the COP27 conference in Cairo, Egypt as a delegate as it has always been my long term ambition of becoming an environmentalist. It is glaring that climate action and mitigation are endeavors that I would like to engage in even more. While studying my BA in International Relations and Development Studies, I developed strong interests in environmental conservation and the fact that climate change mitigation in Africa is halted by financing and the fact that Africa contribute little to climate change yet they suffer most from the effects, I have engaged in different workshops and seminars in Africa through the Pan African University platform and UNECA on how stakeholders in Africa should work towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions and working towards net zero economy geared towards having a sustainable environment ,I have also done short courses on climate change from Young Africa Leaders Initiative(YALI). Therefore, attending this conference will help to deeply understand some of these policies that governments are adopting towards zero emissions and how I can work towards implementing that at the grassroots’ level. I believe that there is no better place to continue my professional career in as well as interest towards mitigating climate change mostly how it affects women than having such international experiences and learning from other youth advocates in the journey of reducing greenhouse gases than at COP 27 conference. I consider it a very rich experience to get the opportunity to meet different colleagues from diverse cultures and learn about their climate action initiatives. Considering the pedigree as well as the content of this conference, combined with the knowledge I have gained from my previous studies, am confident that this conference brings me a step closer to my goal of becoming an environmentalist in Africa and an advocate in mitigating the effects of climate change against women. I am certain to push through with the dedication I have always worked with to accomplish my goals and gain more knowledge and insight in climate change. I have developed a very deep interest in Water Sanitation and Hygiene(WASH), from the different forums and conferences that I have attended within the continent. Given the opportunity to attend the conference as a delegate, I would love to dedicate myself to wholeheartedly, and I hope during my stay in Cairo, I will gain to the maximum knowledge and insights on climate mobility which I will be able to use to positively contribute to the community climate action initiatives. Am convinced that I will be of valuable addition to the conference. I hope to be given this chance, as I am confident that I am capable of meeting and even exceeding your expectations

And organizing forums and conferences, as I used to do in school, and also a participant in the college tour, which made me acquire a lot of skills related to organization, volunteer work, and helping others. My height is more than 170 cm, my body is beautiful, my voice is calm, and finally, one of the most nature-loving people, a researcher and a follower of the state of the climate	Since my childhood, I have always meditated on everything around me, but the evil that interests me the most is the environment and its nature and everything that is affected by the environment in our lives, and here I found two things: industry, and this is a challenge that I cannot face alone, but I found a challenge that I can see The world is because of it and with a sincere motive, we must preserve the environment for it, which is the climate, the climate that threatens interests and causes heavy losses to humans. On the environment, such as preserving the climate, and here I found that the environment is the expression of a motor, and the climate is the file inside the motor. Since I read some books that talk about climate and its nature, such as the book “The Earth is uninhabitable” by the writer Wallace Wells, here I realized that I can participate in Increasing awareness of climate conservation by participating in this great conference, as well as participating in some projects that encourage the development of technologies and present ideas for preserving the environment and climate, such as the NASA competition

1870	Hibo	Suleiman	Minister of Employment Social Affairs and Family	https://slmesaf.com	From a young age, Hibo remembers always wanting to help people; having a passion for problem-solving and change seeker. During high school, she was on the student council helping in preventing girls’ dropout of education on a Gender enforcement program in her school, and a member of the anti-bully club, which consists of students, parents, and schoolteachers. After finishing high school, Hibo decided to twist her passion for helping people into a profession, enrolled at the University, and completed a four years degree in social work. Having been a social worker on the leading edge at the Minister of Employment Social Affairs and Family (MESAF), Hibo now manages her own team and has a huge amount of admiration for them. ‘In my career, I do not think I have ever met a social worker I do not respect,’ she said. ‘Having humanity, consideration, and the capability to listen and understand is amazing. The teams I work with can adapt in the blink of an eye, and their problem-solving competence astounds me. In my previous role as a caseworker, I work with children and their families to support them through complex issues. The main thing for me is that every day is different. You meet new people, who are children, have been separated, unaccompanied, and children on the move, drug/substance users, young offenders and victims of abuse, to people with mental health problems, learning difficulties, and physical disabilities. I feel honored that I have helped with their concerns; that is what I love about my job the most. It really is a privilege. In her current role as a supervisor, Hibo has to make tough decisions about service being terminated for clients and their next steps. “I make decisions by assessing if the needs were met and the absence of any current concerns of the client before approving for closures. It may also involve having to discuss the different options for the service/care and approve on case plans,” she says.	Getting this opportunity is essential for me; To achieve more significant intellectual development and deeper knowledge of climate mobility, problem-solving capacities, critical thinking, and abilities to understand complexity, but also greater personal and social growth through enhanced personal efficacy, moral reasoning, interpersonal skills, and intercultural competencies. In this opportunity, I will also find greater satisfaction with my learning, new research opportunities, and collaborations, not to mention stronger ties to new people with different ideas. Of course, when done I will share through community mobilization, training, and youth engagement sessions to benefit community members and youth the knowledge I gained from the program. This will improve our public organizational capacity to research and resolve social problems, and better contribute to community development

My parents are old now and living in the village where they till land and produce subsistence food that is hardly enough to sell I consider myself as an environmental activist who works to address the problem of climate change, through Youth Horizons which I founded with my colleagues in 2014 following registration by the government of Kenya as a CBO I consider myself to be a pro-active, approachable, flexible, friendly team player with a positive collaborative style. I am highly motivated self-starter; I have a flexible mindset, profound interpersonal skills and problem-solving skills, adapt easily to changing work environment and able to learn and work independently. My early education was in Cheptiret Primary school, then Cheplaskei High School. On passing my exams I was admitted to Meru University to pursue a Bachelor of Commerce between 2012 - May 2015 Since graduating, I have attended several courses as follows • Generations Kenya, Financial Sales (Eldoret) May 2019 – June 2019 • Young African Leadership Initiative (YALI) June 2018 – July 2018 • Adefis Juventud Internacional, Youth training (Spain) December 2017 – January 2017 • Act-Global, Leadership training (Indonesia) January 2015 – February 2015 • United Nations, Leadership training (Sweden) August 2014 – September 2014 Between 2013 and 2017, I volunteered with the Kenya Community Sports Foundation and deployed as the Project Officer in charge of Olympic Games Educational Programming with my responsibilities being to • Promote sport and physical education for all, by advancing health awareness, the spirit of achievement and cultural bridging to entrench collective values • promotion of a culture of peace, social and gender equality and advocate dialogue and harmony through collective work promoting sport and physical education-based opportunities for solidarity and cooperation • using sport to promote environmental awareness in the urban and rural communities Since that time, I have received numerous invitations to speak about climate change in the communities and poor neighborhoods and in meeting with policy makers My aspiration is to pursue a Masters degree course in climate change as I now consider this topic to have far-reaching economic and social implications. I will be keen to learn about the social scientific drivers, and consequences, of climate change and associated policy debates. I am also keen to learn about the interface between climate change and development, with particular attention paid to the perspective of ecological economics. Later, I will seek employment opportunities in a wide variety of environmental and developmental settings in Kenya or abroad	MY MOTIVATION I am the founder of Youth Horizons, a Kenyan coalition of young people & youth-oriented organizations committed to take action on climate change. It considers its biggest achievement to be the personal transformation of each individual who participates in the network’s activities as well as its contribution in bringing the climate debate to the mainstream. Our Focus Areas Youth Horizons program focus areas are Climate Change, Clean Energy, Food Security, Environmental Art and technology as well as Waste Management. The rationale for the choice of the focus areas is a need to tackle areas where our competences are distinct and exploit foreseeable opportunities for greater ecological change. This also gives us an opportunity to exploit the diverse nature of the youth we attract and respond to critical areas informed by the context today. We aim to generate holistic awareness and empower ourselves as a generation of young people to take effective action against climate change, at a local, county and national level. We as the future leaders and concerned citizens of the country must contribute to generating awareness and establishing consensus on what role India should play in the global debate, and how it should address domestic issues of climate justice and adaptation. The purpose of Youth Horizons is to bring the voice of Kenya youth on the global platform because Sub Sahara Africa is one of the most vulnerable regions affected by potentially catastrophic climate change and environment issues. Under my leadership, we are involved in the generating awareness and empowering a generation of young people to take effective action against climate change, at a local, county and, national level by organizing and hosting meetings, roundtables, briefings and workshops promoting the dissemination of information and public awareness of environmental issues. In addition, we actively promote increased cooperation and networking among state and non-state partners. Presently we are working on develops a weekly newsletter highlighting the latest news, resources, events and job opportunities in Kenya but this has stalled for lack of funds My motivation to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 is born of the fact that-Climate change threaten our lives, our families and our future. We already face the effects of climate change, our communities are deprived of clean drinking water, denied access to education and vulnerable to disease every time in flood. Our plates are empty due to drought and salinity. Our future is at risk, and we demand that something to be done. We are youth power are ready to take time friendly actions, and we request to whole world through our government. The time for talks is over, now we need to hold the governments and world accountable for fulfill your commitments. During my time there, I will be calling for a green planet by recognizing the fact that climate change is not merely an economic or technical problem, but also a moral and cultural one that will ultimately translated to a global humanitarian crisis

As an environmental studies scholar, he appreciates the comprehensive support of the environmental sciences, particularly in a political climate often hostile to the allocation of resources to such disciplines especially as it affects developing countries of the Africa region. As a 2022 Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Delegate at COP27, he would relish the opportunity to leverage my past experiences for this worthy cause.	I am writing to express my interest in the 2022 Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Delegate at COP27 coming up in Egypt. I am confident my 4 years of experience in higher education administration (including program coordination) and two years of experience in various community organising events as an environmental, community and youth mobiliser would allow me to contribute to the successful aim of the ACMI Youth Forum. Previously, I have worked on several relevant projects that provided me with the required skill sets I need to be a worthy delegate as a climate action mobiliser. These projects have included: the campaign drive for #SokotoGoesGreen, #OneManOneTree, #OneMillionTrees etc. which are in order to curb deforestation and collectively build a green city in Sokoto, Nigeria thereby reducing the effect of climate change in the region. I would be excited to join the league of young leaders at COP27 whom we are driven by the same passion for climate mobility. In search of a suitable place to pursue my advocacy interest in climate action with a particular interest in mobility, I was excited and fascinated to discover the ACMI Youth Forum‘s current work on climate mobility, environmental sustainability, natural resource utilization etc. which make it a perfect place to pursue my interests. The Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum has an exceptional appeal for me because of its vital mission to foster interdisciplinary discussions and collaborations through a range of exciting formats (e.g., lectures, conferences, seminars) and other opportunities. The intended knowledge and experience acquired during the conference and breakout sessions will be immensely beneficial to the world, the African continent, my country – Nigeria and alma maters in the form of knowledge transfer via leadership, teaching and research. This will equally equip me with all I need to proceed and become a high-impacting leader, contributing immensely to problem-solving in my local and immediate community.

1878	PORTIA SELENU	GOH	SHAI HILLS RESOURCE RESERVE ( of FORESTRY COMMISSION OF GHANA)	www.fcghana.org	Portia Selenu Goh is a 29 year old Public Relations officer working with the Forestry Commission of Ghana. A graduate from the Ghana Institute of Journalism with years of experience in wildlife conservation education and awareness creation, content creation, social media management, sales/marketing, television/radio production, copy writing, editing/proofreading. Portia is passionate about using her acquired communication skills to research, educate and communicate relevant information in the best possible and practicable way. She’s also an advocate for women empowerment and is dedicated towards empowering women and influencing policy makers to create a safe space or women in every little corner they find themselves.	In recent times, issues on climate change have taken the center stage of developmental discussion globally due to its adverse impact on the living conditions of mankind. It is instructive to note that among the continents which are responsible for climate change, Africa is the least contributor; however, we are the most vulnerable to the effects because of our dependence on rain-fed agriculture, compounded by factors such as widespread poverty. I am privileged to be working with the Forestry Commission of Ghana for nearly five(5) years and have an in-depth understanding of how biodiversity and climate are interconnected —which confirms my deep-seated passion for environmental conservation. Due to my exposure, I have observed that climate changes affect wildlife directly and indirectly. Climate change alters the species habitat, ecological and biological interactions, which fundamentally affect ecosystems. Over the years, the temperatures in all the ecological zones of Ghana are rising while rainfall levels have reduced and patterns increasingly becoming erratic. Findings project that 35% of the total land mass in Ghana has become a desert area. This desertification is said to be proceeding at a rate of 20,000 hectares per annum. In Ghana where cash crops like cocoa, cashew and other agric products serves as the basis for the economy, the continuous reduction in the suitability of weather within the growing areas and an increase in evapotranspiration of these crops by 2050 is making the agriculture sector very susceptible to climate change as it mostly depends on rainfall which will also go a long way to affect the economy of the country Taking into consideration the link between climate variability and human health, there will be an increase in the incidence rate of malaria, guinea-worm infestation, and other water-related diseases. All these negative impacts of climate variability worsens the plight of the poor, mostly women and children With an annual growth rate of about 2% and the fact that women cultivate almost 40% of all land holdings under production in Ghana, climate change variations and risky socio-economic conditions of women imply that any disaster is likely to have the worst impacts on women. Moreover, the sociocultural and land tenure practices in Ghana deny women sufficient access to fertile lands. There have been various measures by policy makers and stakeholders in Ghana and globally to mitigate the potential effects of climate change. However, these measures are not enough and institutional weakness and non-commitment makes the enforcement of migration and adaption measures challenging. I believe the aforementioned indicators are major threats to sustainable growth and development in Africa and the world at large. My experience with the wildlife division of Ghana and in journalism have molded me to be one of the ideal people to identify and rectify knowledge gaps for climate change. Getting to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 would amplify the voice of a determined young woman who will critically assess situations in order to harness the best outcome for human mobility in the context of climate change.
1879	Siphesihle	Zwane	El Roi Fresh Produce		After completing my BSc Degree in Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering from the University of Eswatini, in 2015 I have held several internship positions in large scale agribusinesses such as the Rhodes food group. I also founded a 100% youth owned agribusiness known as Greenhill Estates, which has supplied conventional vegetables to several chain supermarkets such as pick and pay and shoprite. Currently I am involved in a Herb garden Project in my community, whose main aim is to create farmer Co operatives that will create a fresh, dried, blended herb garden value chain and establish a brand. I am also in my personal capacity looking to go into protected cultivation systems and increase my businesses water use efficiency.	The effects of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, coincided with climate change related challenges. This challenges resulted in our wholly youth company Greenhill Estates, to suffer huge financial losses we were unable to recover from and had to liquidate the company. While it's sounds cliche to say this but I have learnt that you learn more from failure than you do from success. Now more than ever I am determined to be a thriving, climate smart, ultra resource efficient farmer. My latest business venture is an aqua-ponics production company, that will produce vegetables and tilapia fish. I am looking to acquire as much information as I possibly can henceforth have applied for COP27.
1880	Jean	USHINDI MUNGIRIMA			USHINDI MUNGIRIMA Jean is a 26-year-old Congolese who immigrated to Burundi in 2009. Since 2017 he began his current medical training at the Faculty of Medicine of Burundi University. He was honored and awarded by the Ministry of Education for his first place in the medical competition. Currently an activist, he is the founder of the value education and knowledge promotion club whose goal is to promote access to academic opportunities for students from the interior of the country. He is an active member of the executive committee of the environment club of the University of Burundi.	We live in a country where agriculture and livestock constitute the basis of the economy for more than 90%. Deforestation and bush fires have destroyed several forests this year, even causing fires in nearby households. The torrential rains recently destroyed in my neighborhood a computer room which the students took advantage of for their training. The problems caused by climate change must be a priority for young people who want a better future in order to have good health in a healthy environment.
1881	Arnold	Shoko	Samaki Farms	https://samakifarms.co.tz/home/	Arnold Amon Shoko is an Aquatic, Fisheries scientist and Aquaprenuer with over three years of experience in fisheries and aquaculture. He Co-founded Samaki Farms an agri- tech that produces alternative protein feed ingredients for fish feed manufactured by the use of organic wastes which are collected from households, markets, and landfills. He is currently a student pursuing a Master’s Degree of Science (MSc) in Fisheries and Aquaculture at the School of Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries of the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM). He is committed to providing solutions that protects environment meanwhile offering cheap, sustainable, and eco-friendly alternatives to such challenges that are faced by people. He firmly believes in sustainability such that if aquatic resources are wisely used they can help to mitigate climate change impacts, hunger, and poverty.	I have been working around protecting the environment, sustainability and conservation to a point where I had to open to co-found an organization a start up called Samaki farms. SAMAKI FARMS is a green tech startup we collect organic waste from the environment and we use the waste to grow maggots, making the City clean, but also offering alternative protein feed ingredients to different domesticated, animal, farmers. I grown up in the Dar es Salaam city where organic waste comprise up to 75% of the total waste that are collected in a day that makes a City dirty, bad odor but also it makes it unpleasant, but again, even for worse, it contributes to methane production.Methane is far worse to the climate and the environment compared to carbondioxide. I believe I am a suitable candidate as a delegate for cop 27 because it is from conference like that where I will meet people with similar mind where we always see alternatives to where we can reduce pollution and make the environment safer and a good place for the future generations.

I'm interested in peace and security, migration and environment.	Being an intern within the UNEP was such a enriching experience I learn a lot and feel now more aware of the environmental issue. I wish to advocate more towards the youth. Being aware of the environmental issue notably the access to basic resource, I, with friends created an association. This association aims to work for the preservation of the environment and resources but also to help the poorest to have access to these resources. One of our projects was to find funds to allow two villages in the south of Madagascar to have access to clean water. They had been deprived of it for nearly 3 years and were forced to travel dozens of kilometers to get or use water that was causing them illness.

1885	Vincent	Tarus	youth4dev	youth4dev.com	As an individual who grew up in an agropastoral community with vast lands, I was always saddened by the fact that food insecurity was one of the major problems we experienced, and more often, we survived on food relief despite huge pieces of land. This is where my interest is to pursue my career in Agriculture started. I grew up in the Central Rift of Kenya (including dry areas of Nakuru; Mogotio), which is an arid and semi-arid regions characterized by high temperatures, salinity, and inadequate rainfall Besides keeping goats, cows, sheep, and camels, we also practiced farming which we rarely harvested anything until we got drought mung beans, millet, sorghum, and later months maize never knew could be a possibility. I decided to pursue my undergraduate degree in Agronomy since this was one sector that had not been explored in my community and a larger region of my country. My experience at Egerton University was enriching and eye-opening as I got to have a glimpse of opportunities to explore agriculture. after university completion we formed Youth For Development in arid region(youth4dev) ,an organisation which is community based that champion to improve welfare of arid communities through innovation and technology.	The program will present me a moment to hear so many different perspectives from around the world which I think is inspiring, everyone has experienced crises differently, and we all had varying ideas, prooposals, and thoughts. I believe youth have a voice and I will want to contribute to the decision-making process of policy advocacy. I want to learn a lot, especially in the area of climate change, and to recognize the ability I have so that I can make a change in society. Being raised in a pastoralist commuunity we experience more erratic and reduced amounts of rainfall, rise in temperature, and prolonged and frequent periods of drought. There are no existing climate risk programs and early warning systems we are more vulnerable to famine and loss of livestock which is our livelihood. The implications of climate change must be taken into account to ensure longer-term survival and sustainability of pastoralist communities through the strengthening of climate risk awareness programs and early warning systems I am proud to be part of the youth leader to initiate the program. am a graduate in Bachelor science agriculture, being a science student I understand how human activities may result in climate change or erratic weather situations Also, I bring with me an enriched and diverse experience working in different cultures and with various plants in different climatic conditions, and excellent research skills, Additionally, there was also a focus on personal initiative, critical and analytical skills, and, most importantly, collaborative engagements with my peers. I believe these skills are a great addition to the program
1886	Amadou	Jallow	Cooperazione Internazionale	www.coopi.org	On the surface, I am an accomplished Child Protection Worker with over a decade of experience in Child Protection. I always ensures the viability of the child protection mechanisms of communities I serve, especially over the years with regards to youth and child migration. I am so efficient at my job that I consider myself a “rural champion on child protection”. I have the ability to enter into local communities and transform them into child friendly communities with regards to the protection of child migrants (Children on the Move). Because of my skills, I can produce effective and impactful results within local communities and institutions I serve. I gained professional employment with major Non-Governmental Organizations like Saamasang Federation – ChildFund The Gambia, Future In Our Hands – The Gambia, SOS Children’s Villages The Gambia and Cooperazione Internazionale, all from 2011 to date. I have also been serving voluntarily the civil society organizations through Peace Ambassadors – The Gambia, Peace of Mind and Nonviolence Advocates Association from 2014 to date. More than my role as a Child Protection Worker, I am also effective at persuading and influencing state and nonstate actors from the local to the national levels through advocacy, networking and lobbying. My opinions are highly valued, people trust and respect my engagements. I earned a diploma in Community Development back in 2014, and a certificate on Caring For Children Moving Alone: Protecting Unaccompanied and Separated Children back in 2019. Through these courses, I developed a passionate interest in the protection of children, especially child migrants. In particular, I focused on topics like Protection – Children & Women’s Rights, Migration – Children on the Move & Youth Migration, and Advocacy – Peace & Nonviolence. Since 2011, I worked as a Community Volunteer, Community Mobilizer, Field Supervisor, Field Staff, Social Worker, Child Friendly Space Manager and Psychosocial Support Manager with major Non-Governmental Organizations. Presently, I am working with local communities for the reintegration of reunified children on the move in all the regions of the country through the projects “Investing In The Future” and “Protection of Children & Young Migrants”. I also contributed to the assessments that lead to these projects for the protection of child migrants on major migratory routes and communities. For my most recent eight-year of service as a Child Protection Worker, I had successfully nourished my insatiable passion. I did this by engaging in assessments about the protection concerns of children and young migrants, and sessions with children and stakeholders at various levels. My fascination with the third-world comes from humanitarian issues as demonstrated by my two journeys – to the African Union in Addis Ababa in 2019 and Qatar in 2021. I plan to continue my knowledge and skills gathering by applying for the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum. I want to engage more with influential decision makers and thought leaders in the protection of children and young migrants. I am open to challenges, conversations, and an exchange of ideas from the top actors in the migration work.	In my country, The Gambia agriculture is the backbone of our economic while young people serve as the main source of the workforce into agriculture which is seriously impacted upon by climate change. The migration of children and young people from and within the country is largely related to the lack of conducive environment (infertile lands, low production, natural disasters, conflicts among others) as experienced throughout my work on migration and protection over the years. My work with an International Non-Governmental Organization called Cooperazione Internazionale on Migration from 2019 have shown me that migration is largely from the rural communities of my country, either through internal mobility or cross border mobility. All the rural communities that I have been working with and still working with on the area of reintegration assistance of child migrant are farming communities. The farming ability and production directly have a bearing on their poverty level and migration rate. Having being specifically working in the area of migration and protection (youth migration and children on the move) over the years in local communities of the country, I got the inspiration to pursue further and higher in the area. I firmly believe such a forum (Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum) could be impactful towards my ability to making greater collaboration, networking and advocacy possible within the field of climate mobility. In my work around migration, I have the opportunity to engage with state and nonstate actors from local communities to regional and national levels. This opportunity shall always be utilized to further advocate for impactful and effective action towards the protection of migrants and migrants’ communities. This is supported by my access to relevant data and information on migration issues of children on the move, youth migrants and their families and communities. Thus, it shall continue to be an informed based advocacy.

I created my startup in early 2019 after finishing my studies. I developed an African Currency Converter mobile app that converts Foreign Currencies like Dollar, Euro, Swiss Franc, Australian Dollar into African Currency CFA Franc, Ghanaian Cedi, Nigerian Naira , the Kenya Shilling, I was selected among the best startups in Mali by the Ministry of Digital Economy in 2019 during the MaliStartup BootCamp. I was selected in the Tony Elumelu Program for cohort 5 in 2019, I participated in the African Entrepreneurs Summit of the Tony Elumelu Foundation in ABUJA in July 2019. I developed the NoClimate Change Project to fight against deforestation which consists in monitoring our forests with satellite images and paired with a NoChangementClimatique mobile application which informs citizens of deforestation and to sensitize them to fight against this practice which causes climate change. I was selected to participate in the World Bank Youth Summit in Washington DC in December 2019. I also developed a Kacoronaviruskele mobile app to fight against Covid19 at the request of the Ministry of ICT in March 2019. I was Delegate for the Summit Youth4Climate for PreCOP26 in Italy Milan to September 28th - 30th 2021 . I was delegate for the program Youth4Capacity for UNFCCC and I Participated to the Africa Climate week in Libreville Gabon to August 29 th to September 2nd 2022.	In Mali we are faced with a very serious problem which is deforestation our forests are disappearing day by day due to the clandestine felling of trees, they cut the trees with machetes, or with large machines or even burn our trees to transform in coal. Also they light the fires in our forests to burn the trees which they transform into charcoal and sell these charcoals which cause deforestation and which is one of the main causes of Climate Change. Faced with this serious situation in Mali, we have launched the NoChangementClimate Project, which consists of using Satellite Image Technology to fight against this deforestation, thanks to satellite images we monitor the forests, we process the satellite images to see how our forests are degrading. And this is coupled with a NoChangementClimatique mobile application which informs the population of the degradation of our forests, to fight against deforestation, to make them aware of reforestation, to give them information on the consequences of Climate Change. Deforestation is one of the main causes of climate change, the problem of climate change is the main thing that worries the world the most and that world leaders meet every year to find a solution together otherwise climate change threatens our survival on the planet. Earth. In December 2015 at COP21 in Paris, the objective was to keep global warming to less than 2°C. If we don't change our way of life to achieve this - and time is running out - the consequences will be dramatic. This is the cause that motivates me to participate in COP27 to find solutions together to fight against climate change which threatens our survival on earth if we do not find a solution to this problem quickly.
1889	Beryl	Amarteifio	Fidelity Bank Ghana Limited		My name is Beryl Naa Aheney Amarteifio and I am 25 years of age. I had my secondary school education at Our Ladies of Apostle (OLA) Senior High at Ho, in the Volta Region of Ghana from 2012 to 2015. I had my tertiary education at the University of Ghana where I graduated with a First Class Honours in Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with Geography and Resource Development. After completing my undergraduate studies, I had my compulsory one year National Service at Bank of Africa Ghana from 2019 to 2020. From 2020 to 2021, I worked as the personal assistant to the CEO of Set's Gift Shop in Accra. I am currently studying for my master's degree in International Relations and Diplomacy at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration in Ghana which I began in 2021. I also started working for Fidelity Bank Ghana Limited in June 2022 as a Telesales Executive for Retail Banking.	Climate change is having a severe impact in the Northern part of Ghana. The Northern part of Ghana is a savanna region and experiences only one season of rainfall in the year unlike the southern part. Temperatures are also high in Northern Ghana. With climate change, temperatures have increased, the dry season is longer now and rainfall is also scarce during the rainy season. Northern Ghana is an agrarian society and depends mainly on farming for their livelihood. With rainfall being scarce and temperatures rising, the youth from Northern Ghana are forced to migrate to the south to work as labourers in illegal mining pits called "galamsey" or head porters commonly known as "kayayei" in southern Ghana. When they work as labourers in illegally mining pits, they mostly work without protective gear, exposing them to mercury which is not good for their health. As head porters, they also develop spinal problems due to the heavy load they carry on their heads. Climate mobility is an issue because it is forcing children from schools in Northern Ghana to southern Ghana to work under harsh conditions to be able to feed their families. We have children as little as 10 who leave the North on their own to the south to support their families because they are no longer able to farm to sustain themselves because of the effects of climate change. Land is no longer arable in the North for farming and this is partly due to climate change

1893	Handson	Gisubizo			My name is Handson, I am 25 year old from the striking beautiful country Rwanda, I am currently enrolled as a new student to pursue Graduate studies in chemical and Bio-molecular engineering at Johns Hopkins university in fall 2023, to continue my research on Environmental Protection. I got my Bachelor degree for a Chemical Engineering (IChemE Accredited) department in Tianjin University in July,2022. When I think of the perfect place, I imagine a cascading waterfall, a vast forest, a stunning mountainside, or a warm sunset on the beach. I look up around me, mesmerized by the vastness of the natural world and breathe in the fresh air. Over the course of my life, I have come to respect the environment and the earth's natural surroundings in ways that most others do not in the industrialized and technological era of today. I can appreciate the beauty of the Earth and of all the different landscapes and organisms that surround me. The way in which I value and treasure the environment has evolved just as I have. I see the environment as something to be preserved and admired, not destroyed or exploited. I have taken an interest in math, physic, chemistry and Biology since I was a child, such interest drove me to study Bachelor Chemical Engineering department at Tianjin University. Where I often put knowledge into practical use. For example, in my fourth year I applied discipline such as Environmental Chemical Engineering, Physical Chemistry, Novel Separation technology, Industrial Chemical process to fabricate nano-filtration membrane which has practical value for dye separation where dye is separated from all other dye with a practical use in textile industries. My Postgraduate next Research project at johns Hopkins University will be to do an extensive deployment of the direct air capture, DAC technologies which is needed to mitigate and remove so-called legacy carbon or historical emissions. Effective reduction of the CO2 content in the atmosphere, this would be achieved only by extracting huge amounts of CO2 that are comparable to that of the current global emissions. Current DAC technologies are mainly based on sorbent-based systems where CO2 is trapped in the solution or on the surface of the porous solids covered with the compounds with high CO2 affinity. These processes are currently rather expensive, although the cost is expected to go down as we develop the technologies and deployed at scale.	Climate mobility is the burning issue of this century. According to a recent major UN report, if we are to limit temperature rise to 1.5 °C and prevent the most catastrophic effects of climate mobility, we need to reduce global CO₂ emissions to net zero by 2050. As a young chemical engineer, during my undergraduate I have done different kind of research which shall contribute to the global combat against climate mobility. Climate mobility is the defining issue of our time. From fluctuating weather patterns that threaten sustenance, to rising sea levels that escalate the risk of flooding, the impacts of climate change are global and unpredictable. Without drastic action today, adapting to these impacts in the future will be more difficult and costly. Our society will has to undergo rapid, profound changes to mitigate the effects of climate change and adapt to changes that have already started to occur. But, the climate crisis also points to the massive opportunity for me as a chemical engineer to create jobs in a more green economy, To make a meaningful changes to this society. We have already been combating climate change in various fields such as carbon capture technology, water conservation, food sustainability, renewable energy sources, etc., the move I have taken in the face of eminent environmental risk is to do a research project entitled “Polyamide-COFs composite nano-filtration membrane (NF) fabricated by Interfacial polymerization” was aimed to prepare NF membrane with high flux and high separation performance, which has practical value for dye separation. This being my first foray into research work, it has been huge learning experience for me because I analyzed this kind of membrane separation which proved to be a safe, energy efficient, and environmentally sustainable way to meet the increasing demand for clean water especially in developing country where million of their people uses water from an unsafe surface river or pond. In all the above mentioned techniques my contribution as a chemical engineer is vast. However it is important for us to work together with people from all fronts, such as large scale companies as well as small scale algae cultivators, if we are to come up with sustainable solutions for these problems.There are a million research ideas being put forth every year by chemical engineers but nearly all of them remain as ideas and never get implemented. Governments and Private companies need to spend funds and work on commercializing them, because in another five to ten years our conventional methods will become obsolete. Chemical Engineers ourselves must implement systems thinking while putting forth a research idea. We must have an idea about the challenges we might face, and work on mitigating it. We need to find interdisciplinary solutions to address this problem.

I am an entrepreneur who wants to see a change in the way waste is handled not only in my little town of Buea but in my country and in Africa at large. Last year November I started assembling some data I had collected on waste disposal in the town of Buea which I presented to some friends who bought the idea I was bringing which was to register a non governmental organization but the demand was heavy on us. We applied to the U.S embassy in our country for a community development grant which didn't go through. I am presently working as an agronomist trying to save up some money along with my colleagues so that we can lunch our activities come July next year.	I am Mpako Mbappe Darios, Darios is a passionate Agronomist who is interested on practices which directly or indirectly alter our climate. We look at deforestation for agricultural purposes to litters of plastics from packaging products, we look at food waste which is one of the Chief sources of methane, poor waste collection and disposal methods. I tell myself we can do better. Darios tried fighting alone but couldn't got a group of friends to form an associate but were held back by high financial demands from the government. Darios has not given up reasons why he wants to be head at the COP27.

Growing up as a young child in Nigeria, I used candles and kerosene lamps to study for 11 years, which resulted in me suffering eye issues and allergies to strong fragrances, a problem that hindered my academic performance and outcomes. More than 600 million people in Africa are affected by this problem, and 90% of students in Sub-Saharan Africa continue to study at night using ineffective and harmful solutions. When I was 18, I began my engineering studies, and I learned about renewable energy, but the cost of purchasing this solution was extremely costly. I resolved to find innovative ways to make renewable and clean energy affordable for every family in Africa and to ensure that no child had to study at night using substandard and harmful lighting options. Currently, I co-founded a startup that gives students in rural communities with solar lamps to study at night. I am currently learning about the problem daily and aim to try my best to solve the problem of clean energy accessibility for African families, students, refuges and schools. LightEd is a startup on the mission to light up Africa. LightEd provides students, rural families, small business owners, and refugees with renewable, solar-powered lighting solutions made from recycling electronic waste and local materials.

With his passion for making world more sustainable by advancing the SDGs, he was involved in Enactus Alexandria in 2020 as a public relation member to help his community with a better future by sustainable projects which ensure their life with dignity by zero emissions projects. In 2021 in his graduation project he could persuade his team and supervisors to the importance of the sustainability and to have a positive role in climate change with zero-emission project that help rural communities to safe water supply to drink and safe disposal of brine water in the sea and the discussion was attended by the former minister of petroleum Dr. Sherief Hadara.	I am very delighted to apply to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27. The interdisciplinary challenges in providing future sustainability by the main three pillars of environmental, economic, and social are main interest to me, especially after attending water resources career development modules, which are offered by the center of excellence for water (CoE) in cooperation with the center for applied research on environment and sustainability (CARES) under the caring of USAID and the American university in cairo signed from Dr. Hani Sewillam the current minister for irrigation and water resources, during these modules I have a complete background about the challenges that World will face in sustainability of water resources, food, and energy demand where the climate change is the main influence, so interdisciplinary challenges require extensive comprehensive solutions. The projects I worked on while as an Enactus is to naturally Cultivate Spirulina, Spirulina is a type of blue-green algae that is considered as a super food due to its Excellent nutritional content and health benefits, Spirulina is rarely planned in Egypt , despite it being among the world's most popular supplements. Spirulina has over 60% protein (Perfect Supplement), Spirulina production is very high. By providing future sustainability by the main three pillars environmental, economic, and social to the low-income workers and fishermen who are economically affected by covid19, the refugees in Egypt. While in college, I have been interested in desalination technologies and cultivated this in my graduation project which was about reverse osmosis. My graduation project in a solar-powered reverse osmosis desalination plant with a pressure exchanger with a capacity of 5m3/day, within this plant we are concerned about making reverse osmosis technology more sustainable and decreasing its impact on climate by using green power like solar and safe disposal of brine water
1902	Janet	Wahome	E-Safiri	https://www.esafiri.com/	My name is Janet Wahome, a co-founder of E-Safiri, a Kenyan start up that aims to drive Africa’s transition into sustainable transport by developing solar powered and grid connected charging station for 2&3 wheelers. I have 2 years’ experience in the transport and logistics industry with specialization in vehicle leasing and rentals. My career path into the transport and logistics sector was not very straightforward as at University, I pursued a degree in International Relations and Diplomacy. However, when an opportunity came up, I shared my application, and before I knew it, my career began in November 2018. Over the years, I observed that a greater part of the Carbon emissions in Kenya emanates from the transport fleet that is subjugated by fuel vehicles. In fact the transport sector accounts for 67% of the country’s carbon emissions which have acute and lasting impacts on the residents and climate. Time to reverse these changes is running out and if we continue with a carbon-intensive economy, we are heading to ecological suicide. This brought in me a desire to shift to clean and sustainable transport. And how best to do it than shift to electric mobility. In 2020, I co-founded a startup that is developing solar powered charging stations for 2 and 3 wheelers. So far, my organization has participated in several challenges and programs such as the Zuhura better cities challenge 2020, where we emerged as the winner. The Standard Chartered women in tech 2021 program where we were selected as one of the top 10 companies, the Intra-Africa Trade Fair AU-youth start-up pavilion 2021 in South Africa, the smart cities program by GIZ in Rwanda and the Jesuits Ecology Network Africa youth delegation for the Economy of Francesco in Italy. Our uniqueness lies in our market-oriented approach. Our business model focuses on improving the livelihoods of female small business owners to operate & obtain revenue from the charging points. We also partner with female small business to create favorable ecosystems for the adoption of new technology, to take care of maintenance and operation of both Electric vehicles and charging infrastructure as the SACCOs end up being the gatekeepers to the end customer in our proposed business cycle. In this manner, we succeed in creating synergistic partnerships whereby the local communities benefit and proactively support the uptake of this new technology. This is in line with SDG 11. So far, we are conducting pilot projects in Nairobi and Kisumu Kenya as we look forward to scale up and reduce carbon emissions in the transport sector.	I take this opportunity to express my interest in participating as an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 scheduled in November 2022. I am a 27-year-old social entrepreneur who is passionate about sustainable transport in rural and off-grid areas such as refugee camps. Even though many of the climate refugee camps are temporary, the reality is that most turn into permanent settlements. However, the official temporary status of these camps means that the government doesn’t extend infrastructure networks to these areas leaving residents in a services limbo and they are forced to resort to other options such as using fuel to power their businesses and vehicles – which is expensive and also polluting. Rural refugee camps in Sub-Saharan Africa presents a strong potential market for micro e-mobility solutions because they have the richest renewable energy resources on the planet. In addition African women in refugee camps spend many hours a year walking to carry out various tasks, from collecting water to transporting children to school. The use of electric motorbikes and tricycles will help women gain independence and reduce workloads. Furthermore, electric Vehicles are also regarded as economically justified. ICE (internal combustion engine) motorbike riders spend Kshs. 600 on fuel for an average travel distance of 150 km. This is in addition to the overhead maintenance costs, notwithstanding the societal cost of an increased carbon footprint. Switching to electric motorbikes is affordable, at a fee of Kshs. 200 per full charge, a rider can travel a distance of 100 km increasing their income. Electric Vehicles also have the added benefit of drastically reduced maintenance costs. The goal is to design, implement and test a solar mini-grid system to power electric motorbikes and tri-cycles and also use the excess stored power for other productive energy uses (solar kiosks, solar fridges/cold storage, solar phone charging, barber shops, community/street security lighting etc.). My organization also provides the community with electric 2-wheelers and three-wheelers for lease to aid in the transport activities in the refugee camps. I believe that by attending the conference a delegate, I will engage in fruitful conversations that can help push for the sustainable transport agenda in refugee camps. Furthermore, this conference will be attended by esteemed world leaders who are globally recognized. I will use the opportunity to network and also gain insights into how scale up and achieve maximum potential.

His vision is to influence the world, and to change erroneous social narratives through Entrepreneurship, advocacy, Information Technology and Venture Capitalism."	The right place, the right time and the right people are key in achieving success. This has been my mantra over the years and it has proven effective. I am either attending events or fellowships, or hosting one to bring like minds together for the sake of collaboration. The journey to sustainability is a collective one. Just like an African proverb puts it, "If you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together. The goal is towards a sustainable planet and we need all the help we can get. I picked up keen interest in carbon markets and carbon financing after attending a smart climate AgriTech conference and today, we have deployed over 10,000 climate smart technologies to help boost food security across the value chain and adopt Eco-friendly mobility to facilitate our last mile delivery efforts. I believe that the COP27 event will bring together an army of social and economic disruptors. A room together with this positive energy is one capable of igniting a change and a spark that would flame up for Africa's sustainability. Just recently, I had an interview with debate Africa on Carbon markets, and I was asked what I looked forward to hearing from Africa's leaders at COP 27, and my response was this. "I want to hear them speak on climate security traction gained since the last COP 26 event, what worked, what did not, and what next." We have gone beyond the era of possessing great eloquence of speech with zero execution, ability and know-how. We need more actions of a demonstration of prototype models and then seek innovative and cost-effective ways to scale. These are conversations I want to be a part of. To understand Africa's blueprint for a net zero future, its plans for carbon financing and carbon markets, and how climate smart technology companies in various value chains can adopt and work with the same blueprint to catalyze the process and create a mainstream for a quicker adoption. I strongly believe that the COP 27 event will afford myself and my company the opportunity to learn, collaborate and grow, for Africa and Africans.

She has applied her legal research and knowledge in this capacity by drawing up policy papers to ensure that Kenya joins in this cause. She is proud to say that it has been successful and Kenya is backing up the fight against ecocide by criminalizing it in the International and National spheres.	As a junior researcher with a background in focusing in the area of Agricultural, food and Agri-environmental Law (AgLAW). I am really interested to be part of COP 27 and the Culture and the SDGs because I am passionate about agri-food and environmental law (AgLAW). I want to add my voice as a young researcher and solidify with the voices of my fellow children and youth towards environmental law and governance for a meaningful environmental law engagement by exploring innovative legal and policy tools for improving environmental, social and economic sustainability of global food systems. This is because my research focuses on the interconnections, synergies and trade-offs between different patterns that directly or indirectly affect food systems in an extremely integrated and complex scenario. It is my hope to share my findings from what I have been investigating on the role of environmental law in mitigation and agricultural adaptation to climate change and the extent to which social equity issues, environmental sustainability and the empowerment of farmers should be taken into consideration in the multilevel policy of agriculture. As this is my specific focus is dedicated to the Ecosystem-based approach in agriculture and the effective ways of protecting, managing, and restoring habitats that promote Environmental rights and governance and aligning with COP 27. I hope my overall contributions will promote meaningful youth engagement in food systems thinking that will leads us to closely monitoring the “One Health” policy approach that aims to anticipate, prevent, detect and control diseases that spread between animals and humans, tackle antimicrobial resistance, ensure food safety and food security, and prevent environment-related human and animal health threats.

As a community service volunteer on matters like human rights advocacy and climate change,am highly motivated to apply to become an ACMI youth forum delegate because I understand that there is a growing awareness that the adverse impacts of climate change increasingly contribute, directly and indirectly, to different forms of mobility that unfold with the countries and across borders.In the current status, emerging evidence indicates that children also become uprooted and displaced due to climate,or they are left behind when parents are compelled to move in search of livelihood.Some people while migrating, encounter multiple risks like violence, trafficking, forced labour and other forms of exploitation.I want to echo the voice and be a change maker.I believe that when people come together, extraordinary things do happen so I would want to foster mutual relationship with my fellow delegate if I get the chance.We learn from and build relationships with communities, groups and movement that share our values in order to work toward a more equitable and just environment.

1909	Alli	Faiza	Makereere University		I am Alli Faiza, a current Graduant at Makereere University who persued a bachelor's degree in development economics majoring in Environmental economics. I hold a certificate in IC3 Digital literacy from college of business and management sciences Makereere University, a certificate in web Development at Women Institute of Technology Uganda. I have volunteered with Brac health program as a Project Assistant, MasterCard Foundation Makereere University as Peer Digital literacy trainer, talent and skills minister at MasterCard foundation at Brac Uganda ( Mfabu), presidential advisor at College of business and management sciences Makereere University, Girl child committee member at Scholars Association at Makereere University, Vice President Nebbi Alur Students' Association, a committee member at ministry of Gender Ethics and Integrity under the 87th guild leadership Makereere University, a climate change activist.	We are living in times where the climatic crisis needs collective actions from the world at large. The whole world is faced with challenges due to man's actions such as urbanisation, construction, settlements, deforestation, green house gas emissions, among others causing massive displacement of people due to destruction of property and life . Growing up, I have seen people from my country Uganda struggle with climatic Negative responses such as flooding for example in Mbale, drought which caused them to be moved to central and northern part of Uganda, poor crop yields due to negative actions on climate like tree cutting causing movement of people in search of food. My community is characterized by poverty which forces most dwellers to depend on wood fuel as cooking energy displacing animals who were inhabitants of the areas leading to even further extictions, my own parents had to carry out charcoal and firewood business in order to put food on table and that's only but a few examples from many communities in Africa. Seeing all these signal to act not only as an individual but involve those around me too because the effects are felt by all. What motivates me to be part of this conference is learning better ways to address climatic issues in Africa that cause climate mobility and my country in particular especially when it comes to policy implementation in settlement of affected people, mitigation of the causes of climate mobility and promoting livelihood of affected people . Most of our economies in African are chasing after growth but not focussing on development forgetting that the economy's growth and development depends on the environment and issues like climate mobility can deter economy wide growth and development , I believe learning from other like minded people will help me bring the same to Uganda in addressing climate mobility. I look forward to sharing my experience in regard to climate mobility and how Uganda has solved it's issues on climate mobility with other people I will meet at the conference . Attending the conference will help me network with like minded people on how they are addressing climate issues such as Greenhouse emissions, deforestation, energy saving fuels, environmental conservation, climate protection among others causing climate mobility. I look forward to networking with individuals who are positively impacting their communities making them take active measures against climate mobility.
1910	Farhiya	Maalim	Network for Youth and Gender Development	http://www.nygd.com/	I'm a twenty eight year old Kenyan woman. A nomadic pastoral from Northern region of Kenya. A graduate from Mount Kenya University and currently persuing masters degree in project management at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology. I'm the founder of both Network for youth and gender development and Northern Pastoral front where i serve as Executive director and communication officer respectively. In our capacity we deal with various components including pastoralism in the face of climate change, effect of climate change to the education sector of the pastoral community. I'm currently doing research on how pastoralism, rangeland management can address cliamate change to tackle all effects it trigers in the society. I'm currently elected as the program officer for Africa pastoralism youth Initiative where we work with PROCASUR, CSAYN and ILRI. I'm also a full time volunteer of youthlead environmental conservation and social welfare with ECOR foundation, India. As also a trained English/ literature teacher I'm so passionate and concerned about education in the continent and more so for the displaced/ pastoralist children.	Climate change has impacted adverse rise of heat, low and unpredictable rainfalls, shortage of undeeground water that has directly affected my pastoral community. As livestock keepers we experienced loss of large number of livestocks, loss of rangelands, death of people due to hunger after their livestock they depend on were cleared by the biting subsequent droughts and lack of water from the wells. Education too is highly affected as children travel long distances away from school in search of pasture and water. Girl child is exposes to early marriage since they drop out of school. Climate mobility has also cost the health of the children and women due to malnutrition.
1911	Kalula	John	Green For Peace		John is the founder of Green For Peace, a platform that encourages the community to plant trees to protect the environment. After having studied the environment at the University of Lubumbashi, in the faculty of sciences at the department of geology I have realized that we need to protect the environment. I encourage the community to plant new trees for each family in the plots to provide more oxygen to the environment and reduce the spread of carbon dioxide. Trees hold water, prevent flooding, recharge underground aquifers, and maintain water vapor in the atmosphere, increasing the opportunity for rainfall. When forests are cut down, the water vapor in the atmosphere disappears in an area, decreasing precipitation and increasing the risk of drought and desertification.	My motivation for applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 is to prevent the climate which is changing every day and the temperature is increasing every day so together we can preserve the world. wherever we are these changes are affecting our lives, climate changes have an impact on our lives for example in the country where I am living there is not enough food production due to the lack of rain which has increased the price of food that is affecting the population.
1912	Francis	Bassey	Mano River Youth Network Southern Region	Mano River Youth Network Southern Region	I’m currently studying Community Health Sciences at the Njala University, but while studying actively involved in advocacy as it’s what I’ve from Junior High School, in my community I’m most known as Professor because of my work, I mean by the Outreach services the Radio programs the talk shows and the way I work with local organizations. My Long-term goals and aspirations are Explore a New Technique Gain Global Experience in solving climate problems Join a global platform for climate	I believe the opportunity created is one that's filled with skills, some of which I learn will be transferred to my fellow youths Communications skills We most often don't know how to put information before transferring them, but after the fellowship, I believe I would gain skills that will be helpful in my line of work and by this I'll be able to train my team and colleagues Reporting Skills During the fellowship, we'll surely learn these skills certainly, report writing and reporting are things that are most important for any organization. Which I’ll surely do when I return from the fellowship Public Approach Skill In public approach skills it’s required for you to know how you approach a set of people or community by this you’ll be able to influence them convince them and make an impact. Most importantly ways of solving climate change problems.
1913	Nada	Ahmed	Faculty of Science ,department of physics,Assiut university		I have graduated from the faculty of science, department of physics, Assiut university in 2022. I am passionate about explaining the nature of things from a scientific and physical point of view, so I love to study physics and its specialties. I am working on myself to be a physicist with creative ideas, so I am also developing myself in programming, where the science of physics is broad and can be linked to programming and other fields as well. Some disciplines in physics pique my curiosity, such as Environmental physics, cosmic phenomena, and nuclear physics. I am interested in attending conferences related to my field, as I participated in a conference the 7th conference for young scientists in basic and applied sciences with a poster about my graduation research. I also attended more than one summer school, such as the 7th plasma school at Port Said, workshop of High energy physics simulation course in Assiut, and the Nuclear Materials Authority in Egypt. My graduation project about nuclear fission and fusion technologies and their application in the energy production, and one of the most important research elements is to explain one of the fusion reactor designs is, tokamak, which is the direct system of the magnetic confinement. I take many steps in my educational career so that I can be familiar with the branches related to physics that interest me and then select the specialization in which I want to continue my career. take responsibility for achieving my dreams, which is to be a distinguished physicist researcher in the specialty I chose, and then benefit the community with what I am familiar with.	The COP27 climate summit will tackle the most pressing issues facing our world today. I deeply believe that COP27 is an opportunity to showcase unity against an existential threat that we can only overcome through concerted action and effective implementation. Since human activity has caused and continues to be one of the main causes of the climate crisis, which has led to huge damages suffered by all countries, we must take collective action to avoid this issue. Therefore, I would like to participate in this conference, recognizing the magnitude of the responsibility, as a member of the world who has the responsibility to participate in finding solutions for this crisis. On the occasion, we are the youth of the future, we must look forward and contribute to reducing emissions and adapting to the effects of climate change such as desertification and loss of biodiversity. This will be done by attending the COP27 Conference, where the conference will highlight innovation, the use of clean technologies, and the role of science in facing the climate crisis, in addition to the loss of biodiversity and the transformation of energy. In the Twenty-seventh Conference of the Parties, it is allowed to have several discussion panels and side talks between many different cultures, and thus there will be an exchange of ideas, science, and knowledge of other cultures and through this my intellectual development will develop and my communication skills will increase. My attendance at the conference will increase my awareness towards preserving the environment and help educate other youth in facing an important issue for which many environmental conferences were held, such as the first global climate conference, and as many important characters talked about, as Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohamed said at the African Adaptation Financing Forum in the period Leading up to COP27: “Now is the time for solidarity and the promise of humanity while protecting our planet,” and called on developed countries to increase funding for the most vulnerable countries to adapt to the worsening climate impacts. My attendance at the conference will benefit me completely in several directions, which are educational, awareness-raising, cultural and intellectual. My experience regarding the climate issue is that in the third year, of my studies in college, I took an environmental physics course, during which I studied climate change and its consequences, and then I was commissioned to make a presentation on the COP26. In the presentation, I discussed several issues that were discussed at the conference, and one of the most important issues that the conference seeks to achieve is limiting the temperature rise to 1.5 a degree Celsius during the next twenty years, as reports have shown that greenhouse gas emissions from human activities are responsible for about 1.1 degrees of warming. Between 1850 and 1900. I also presented some goals of the conference, which were represented in reducing emissions from burning coal, gas, and oil, accelerating the stage by encouraging investment in renewable energy sources, and committing to financial support for low-income countries.

1916	Favour	Ayedun	Edenworld conservation Initiative	http://www.edenworld.org.ng	My name is Favour Ayedun and I am currently a final year student of Forestry and Wood technology at Federal University of Technology Akure, Nigeria. I am passionate about climate change advocacy, forest and ocean conservation as well as environment sustainability. I am currently one of the selected Nigerians at World Ocean day Youth advisory council. To fuel my passion, I develop programs and strategize events to spark action for nature by an association of young individuals who share the quest for sustainable management and through the conservation of the forest resources in Africa for the socio-economic well-being and also to mitigate climate change impacts. For the past few years, I have been participating in several public awareness programs and campaigns to sensitize and educate the general public on climate change impacts, eco-friendly activities people can adopt as well as the role of tree planting in climate change mitigation. In June, 2022 I served as a Team member for a Week Community Outreach and Bootcamp focused on ocean conservation, plastic waste recycling and awareness program at Araromi Seaside, Ondo state Nigeria where I participated in educating and sensitizing stakeholders which includes students, residents and leaders within the coastal community on ocean challenges, environmental sustainability and community-based effort to conserve the ocean. I also delivered a lecture on the impacts of plastic debris in the ocean and developed a “waste to wealth” training for the community youth on how to convert pet bottles into artifacts and home furniture that are useful and marketable. This experience has afforded me the opportunity to improve my effective communication skill both verbally and in writing. I have also built a well-rounded skill set in community engagement and campaign, building a team spirit as well as planning events.	As a team member of Eden World Conservation Initiative, an NGO that focuses on climate education. I have built a broader experience in climate education through my participation in community outreaches and climate events over the past few years, also as a member of International Forestry students’ Association (IFSA) FUTA Local chapter, this association has given me the opportunity to embark on research trips, field works, tree planting exercises, campaigns and public awareness on environmental sustainability and climate action. I also participated in regional and international meetings, webinars and conferences which is focused on the development of students that are studying forestry both within Africa and beyond. I am passionate about ocean conservation and environmental sustainability and I am interested in building a future career in climate change advocacy and forest resource management research. I will be grateful to get any opportunity to sharpen my skills and also build relevant network that will be helpful for my career growth. It is also a platform to connect and network with like minds of young people across the world who share similar zeal and passion for ocean conservation and advocacy as well as an opportunity to gain more skills in effective communication, visual and storytelling as a means to advocate for nature. I will also get the chance to promote my impacts within my local community through your organization to gain a broader audience and engagements.
1917	Hidaya	Benouda Tlemçani	The Youth Policy Center	https://youthpolicycenter.org	Hailing from Fes City, Morocco. Hidaya is a nineteen years old, second-year business student, but it does not stop here. Coming from a family of volunteers, Hidaya has always been engaged in positive change-making in her small community, country, and the world. She started her first ever project when she was nine years old only; an environmental club where she led a small team to teach her fellow students how to protect the environment by taking small steps (recycling, reducing waste..). During that same year, she had the chance to participate in Al-Bawasil Camp for children with diabetes in Qatar. It resonated with her and she discovered her love to meet up with other people from different nationalities. One year later, she was able to go to the Al-Basma camp for children with diabetes in the UAE. It did widen her perspectives regarding a lot of things and opened doors for her to become more active in a change-making society. Now, she heads up the public relations and marketing team of the World Youth Leaders Organization; this organization aims to empower the youth of today into leaders of tomorrow. She also is a regional committee associate at the Youth Policy Center; a Think and Do Tank with the goal of engaging youth more in the decision-making field, and she is actively participating in the realization of the Center’s flagship project Educate to Empower as its Sustainability Manager. In addition to being a senior mentor in the Youth Leaders Programme; the flagship project of WYLO. As well as leading the Marketing and Communications team in TEDxENCGF, without forgetting her active engagement with the University of Dubai where she works as a social media coordinator for the University of Dubai MUN. In a nutshell, Hidaya’s passion for volunteering and public speaking is coupled with big-picture planning and operational management. She is not a student who just wants to get a diploma. She is a student who wants to leave an impact on her community, country, and the world. This is what she does best and loves most especially when it involves personal growth in the process.	The great leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way”. This quote has been the foundation of my work where I have served my community, country, and world on various levels. I am a person who wishes to make a change in this world and help people (especially youths) by empowering them to be able to help their communities. I believe this program will help me by giving me the chance to get to the action in terms of Climate Change and Climate Mobility, by being the voice of Moroccan Youth, and by meeting with other young African leaders who aim to do the same. ACMI Youth Forum is an opportunity for me to be able to become a better advocate and person by engaging myself in action to help my community, country, and the world. My experience with Advocacy and volunteering taught me that there is no limit to what a person can learn about it, therefore, I always look for such opportunities to improve myself first, and then the lives of people around me, the thing that I have been doing for around 7 years (started officially volunteering when I was 12 in a local association) ACMI Youth Forum is an incredible opportunity for me and it suits my profile perfectly. Climate mobility is now affecting all more than ever, especially children and women who get left behind in rural areas, limiting their chances to get a proper education and opportunities. I currently am working within the Youth Policy Center, in partnership with the Danish Youth Council as the Sustainability Manager of a multidimensional project on education and female empowerment in rural areas. We are working on training 50 teachers and civil society activists operating in rural areas of Morocco to work on minimizing the children's drop out of school, especially girls. This first phase will be our way to reach girls in rural areas, who are the core of our project, we will be inviting them to our “Rural Entrepreneurship Factory” where we will work on helping these young girls to develop income-generating projects’ ideas in their respective villages, by linking them with experienced Danish and Moroccan mentors, this will create opportunities for women and girls in Moroccan rural villages, limiting with that climate-change-related immigration. As the sustainability manager, my role is to work with my team on ensuring the sustainability of the impact of our project, by following up on them and giving them any assistance and help they need to continue working on their projects.

He is an agricultural economist with bachelor degree, a Public Extension worker in agriculture and a youth advocate and volunteer. Victor works as scout assistant leader trainer at Rwanda scout association. He presently an internee at tristove Rwanda. Victor is a highly active person who has been a community volunteer since the year 2020. He was recently participated the Eastern African Zonal Scout education camps of 2017, 2018 and 2019, where he joined the team of other EASTER AFRICAN COUNTRY youth and share with them the knowledge of community-impacting projects on “plastic tide turner” at Rwanda scout association were centered around collecting PET bottles from communities and selling them to recycling companies based on our point based incentive system to reduce following and raise awareness on the water to wealth value model.	I am an undergraduate in college of agricultural and veterinary medicine (CAVM) of university of Rwanda, BUSOGO campus with my bachelor degree of science with honours in Agricultural Economics. I am looking for an opportunity where I can acquire new skills that enrich my skill set, skills that I am passionate about and that would hopefully help me to consolidate my future planet as an agricultural extension agent with health planets where we valued the agriculture products as solo source of food. In agricultural Economics, I got an average 70.4 % for the studied module. This makes me among best 5% students within department of Agricultural Economics. The course has given me a solid theoretical background in agricultural product values chain in order to improve my skills in this particular extension services field. I am applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum Delegate for COP 27 because I will like to actively participate in the negotiations this year although I have never attended a physical COP. Moreover the works I have done, have not directly been related to climate mobility but indirectly they have been. The projects I am working on as an member participant on “plastic tide turner” at Rwanda scout association were centered around collecting PET bottles from communities and selling them to recycling companies based on our point based incentive system to reduce following and raise awareness on the water to wealth value model. Later, we experimented on extracting fossil fuel though the fractional distillation of PET bottles. We finally perfected our mixing ratio on converting PET bottles to interlocking bricks which could be a game changer for sustainable housing. I believe that I am quick learner, and I don’t give up easily when faced with difficult challenges. I like to think of myself as a cool-headed, adaptable, flexible person who can keep his wits about him under pressure Yours faithfully, TWAGIRAMUNGU Victor twagiramunguvictor@gmail.com

She is a student of the University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus studying Medical Laboratory science. She has featured on the radio station Eagles FM in Abuja, Nigeria a couple of times as a guest speaker to talk about contemporary issues. One of her poems has recently been published on KENGA magazine, the music issue. She loves to journal her thoughts on her personal blog on medium, Wordpress www.methinksof.wordpress.com and her Twitter @jenchatavezan. Traveling tops the list of her interests as she has a keen interest in geography. Her other interests include reading vastly, cooking, baking and having wholesome conversations. She is currently running a store on Flutterwave that sells cakes whilst working on telling stories that showcase African food and their origins. Her focus is on availability of ingredients in different regions due to geographical factors. Hence, she has added travel to her plans to bring this project to fruition.	My motivations for applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 are: - I’m passionate about causes that are dedicated to pushing for development in Africa - The latest global report on internal displacement revealed that natural hazards are among the leading causes of displacement. These hazards such as drought are brought about by climate change and it has globally raised a cause for alarm. I’m interested in belonging to a group of people who will rub like minds to proffer solutions to the all important issue that is climate mobility. - Climate mobility has caused adults to move to more favorable climes and sometimes abandoning children in search of another means of livelihood. This puts children at a disadvantaged position whether they are left behind or not. They are exposed to trafficking, human labour and other forms of exploitation. Climate mobility has given rise to a lot of other issues such as high rates of school dropouts amongst children. Given the opportunity to be a delegate, I’d love to work with other delegates to find lasting solutions to these problems.

In the event of this "thermal overtaking", a range of methods and techniques of hyperloop technology will be needed to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, reuse it and store it in capsules of this technology with more innovative and researchable methods. (The project idea addresses a range of areas) Legal field 1 - Legalize the recycling of waste correctly and effectively and circulate the idea in all governorates and sectors, and turn it into useful products and electrical energy. 2 - Enacting laws and punishing individuals and groups violated: such as the development of laws for the disposal of waste and the use of vehicles, for example, and the imposition of various fines and penalties on vehicles that cause the emission of smoke from them, as well as factories that emit harmful emissions. Social sphere 1 - Competitive challenge The phrase of participation and competition to plant sustainable trees and plants for a month (30 days) To encourage agriculture in public places, homes and home gardens In addition to "Application" to follow up with the participants in the challenge By sending a weekly photo of the plant and registering for it, after the end of the challenge there will be motivational prizes for the committed and participants in the challenge. 2- Allocate rewards to institutions and individuals who make efforts to reduce the risk of climate change such as exempting committed factories from part of the taxes. 3- Awareness of buying fewer new clothes and wearing them for a longer time. Increase awareness of sustainable product purchases and use rental services for special occasions instead of buying new clothes that will only be worn once. Awareness of the recycling of clothes and repair them when necessary. Environmental field 1 - Disposal or storage of carbon dioxide gas in capsules with the technology of atmospheric pressure difference, and disposal by burial or storage. 2- Filtering the chimneys of factories, such as passing factory smoke on water basins with algae that consume carbon and produce electricity, thus reducing the increase in temperatures to about half.. Or an inventor in the form of a filter that rids the environment of factory smoke whose goal is to develop a technique for the continuous capture of carbon dioxide gas from the atmosphere, with a view to its subsequent use to produce synthetic fuels or apply it for other purposes. The advantages of this innovative device in that it enables to: A. Get rid of black smoke. B. Disposal of carbon dioxide. c. Getting rid of the heat generated by the factories. A. Disposal of dust from factories. 3- Conversion of carbon dioxide into rocks The process of carbon mineralization involves converting carbon dioxide into carbon metals, by simulating the way shells and limestone are naturally made. 4- Capturing carbon dioxide from industrial plants using bacteria, and then using it in the production of useful building materials as a by-product.

Climate Change is really destroying the life of pastoral communities in Somalia because of long drought and famine that is affecting the country and the nomads are moving away from grazing dried lands searching for posture and water for their animals along rivers which owned by farmers hence creating pastoral farmers land disputes hence I’m coming solution these pastoral farmers Conflicts through applying the knowledge of Conflicts Resolution Mechanisms such as mediation, arbitration and negations to resolve the pastoralists against Farmers Conflicts along the borders of Kenya , Somalia and Ethiopia which hit by climate change I’m son of pastoralist farmer who is passionate climate Change Advocacy, food security, ending farmers – pastoralist’s communities from the Horn of Africa. Speaking as son of Nomads , our animals are dying as results of long merciless droughts and famine , our parents are migrating from rural to urban cities for survival creating conflicts based on scarcity of resources , as I ask myself , how the future if next generations will look like if keep on ignoring effects of climate change to the millennium children ? It’s high time we think about how we act upon effects of Climate Change and resource conflicts among farmers and pastoral communities from the Horn of Africa. Attending COP27 will be great platform for me where I will able to link, network with open minded Climate Activist who are giving back to their communities affected by Climate Change .
1925	nicholas	ndekei	Zihanga Limited		I am Nicholas Mareve Ndekei, I was born in the year 1997, August 16TH. Some of my characteristics are, problem solving, social developer and business strategist. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in finance and economics from united states international university in the year 2021. I am an executive director and the founder of Zihanga limited (names after zero hunger) a company that deals with the recycling of organic waste using insects (black soldier fly) to manufacture organic insect protein meal feed, fertilizer and pesticides. I am also the chair of a youth group called Y- MINDS CONNECT and director of Christian youth Community Sports. Even though my career line is still expanding some of my incredible mentions are, I have helped more than 100 youths attain an income through climate practices, my company recycles over 20 tons weekly and still growing. I have trained over 20 women groups since 2020 in climate practices, I have also given a point of recycling for my community. Some of the ways we rally youths is using our y-minds connect platform that allows youths to own insect’s hubs that allows them to recycle their household waste and using the sports through cysc which partners with gvt and churches and bring awareness.	Climate mobility and its roles in our community is an important topic for me. Before I began my business in recycling organic waste using insects, our community in lower Kabete, Kiambu/ Kenya had a major problem with Abattoir waste being dumped on the ground especially on the poor side of the community where shanti houses exist, it proved to be a major problem for the community for it brought breathing problems to children because of the excess methane gas produced. It was uncontrollable for the company would produce more than they were able to handle. Such waste would not only affect our community but our soils too hence I started to research what would be the most sustainable form to recycle the organic waste and also make a profit. My initiative then became the mass production of black soldier larvae which has helped us recycle over 20 tons of organic waste each week and also produce products that help the environment such as insect protein meal which protects our forest cover through minimizing the production of soya meal, rich organic fertilizer that has actually increased farmer yields by 30 percent reducing the acidity in our soils and chitin based organic pesticides that have actually worked in the killing of nematodes. My race towards recycling has not only stopped there but I continued raising awareness and began a new program with the government of Kenya (youth fund) where we are in track of producing youth collective commercial farms which will recycle over 140 tons of organic waste per fortnight. I believe in the inclusion of climate smart technologies in our businesses practices for in the world at the moment the major contributors or facilitators to negative climate change are our industries. We all have a role to play towards saving our planet but the few are the ones who will be able to begin the journey towards it. I am one of them and would love to be part ACMI youth delegate.

Logistics Committee.I attended the local climate change conference last year in the Greek Quarter, which is funded by the Netherlands. And also participating in a competition that thinks about the regularity of the clothes, and that there are people who buy, for example, the clothes once twice and decide to throw them away, so we will make an application and buy this clothes and we will do a re-design, whether by cutting clothes with clothes or purely new pieces, and as using the plastic that is now a legacy and is inside everything in our lives I participate in initiatives related to collecting plastic from the beaches of the Red Crescent, and plastic alone is a disaster because it is made of petroleum and cannot be disposed of, and I prefer it to exist for the longest time.	I participated in the local conference on climate change and attended workshops of Egyptian organizations such as the Beta Tree Organization. I also participated in collecting plastic from the beaches of Damietta with the Egyptian Red Crescent Society. I did a lot of cultural studies on the subject.

1929	Krshtee	Sukhbilas	Global Shapers Beau Bassin Hub		Krshtee Sukhbilas is a university student from Mauritius studying economics and finance at the University of Mauritius. Passionate about social issues, international relations and entrepreneurship opportunities, she is the Founding Curator of the Global Shapers Hub in her locality, a Generation Connect Africa Youth Envoy with the International Telecommunication Union, a Common Futures Conversations Community (by Chatham House) member and a Rotaract Club of Beau Bassin - Rose Hill member. She equally has varied interests in the corporate world, having worked as an Audit Intern at Deloitte, Economics Tutor, Intern at a pioneer social enterprise, Research Intern at a geopark and Economic & Market Intelligence Intern at a startup. One of her most recent accomplishments is being part of the winning team of the prestigious United Nations’-led hackathon – HackingDigitalSkills – which included a series of workshops and education sessions in Kigali, Rwanda. She is highly enthusiastic and committed about enabling youth to transform their lives through technology. Krshtee also currently serves as a Future FinTech Champion at Mauritius Africa FinTech Hub, an initiative pioneered by the Mauritian government which centres around developing and growing a budding ecosystem of FinTech entrepreneurs, solutions & companies to solve local challenges via fintech solutions.	As a small tropical island, Mauritius, where I live, is very much at risk to climate change. Long gone are the colourful small houses along the coast. Most of us are relocating or setting up our homes closer to the mainland, after the many floods, sand erosion and fluctuating sea levels we have experienced. I still remember when we went to the beach once for a family outing, we met a family packing their everything as they had to leave their home and move inland, as their house got flooded overnight. Even us at home struggle when it rains heavily out of the blue, as our rooftop is weak and it leaks. As the years go by, the heavy rains get more sudden, frequent and horrible. These motivated me to study how we can build more resilient and environmentally friendly economies. The Forum tackles not only climate problems and possible solutions but ensures the communication of the situation as well to multiple stakeholders. It is much aligned to my long term ambition of becoming an environmental economist who researches, advocates for and motivates climate actions. Both of my experiences as an economics and market intelligence intern at a startup and as a research intern at a geopark have taught me how passionate I am about our planet. In this light, I would love to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27. To learn how to make my community more resilient to climatic issues, I am currently undergoing the Net Impact Climate Ambassador programme. In partnership with Climate Interactive, we were invited to " learn how to model climate resilience scenarios, build relationships with climate advocates, and get skilled up to lead workshops in your community". I also studied several climate related online courses and I am participating in YOUNGA 2022 as a delegate. I am equally doing a Fintech apprenticeship as I believe that it could be an amazing way to face environmental problems. Blockchain technologies can be used to keep track of greenhouse gas emissions and natural resources as well as agricultural harvest, avoiding over exploitation of already depleting land. Conservation of trees and natural habitats can also be motivated by tokenising them into NFTs, to be sold in metaverses, creating an ownership for them which discourages their destruction. Digital banking will also reduce the need for paper and physical infrastructure, thus reducing carbon emissions and deforestation. Climate advocacy never fails to educate, intrigue and fascinate me and I would myself love to get into it. The Forum will equip me with much knowledge and excellent scientific and interpersonal skills and given my passion for the matters being addressed, it will definitely be the experience of a lifetime for me. I would also love to bring my own contribution towards exploring the obstacles and prospects we face in the climate world today, alongside similarly passionate people. It is by sharing our diverse experiences, knowledge, opinions and best practices that we can truly progress in our fight against climate change.

1931	Valary	Nyongesa	Kenya Climate Smart Agricultural Project Busia County	https://www.kcsap.go.ke/	Miss Ajwang is an environmental scientist with two and half years of continuous experience in ecofriendly and sustainable environmental solutions. She has vast experience in overseeing of starting and ongoing projects. She is currently working at Kenya Climate Smart Agricultural Project (KCSAP) as the project manager. In 2020 she supported the Female Developers (FEMIDEVS) towards incorporating technology into environmental protection. In July 2019 she joined Bamboo hub an organization for national reforestation and solid waste management as the solid waste management expert. Under KCSAP she has lobbied for the use of biodegradable shopping bags as a way of pollution control. She has taught bamboo hub members how they can use bamboo charcoal and briquettes instead of using trees. This has helped her reduce deforestation in the area. Miss Ajwang’ s professional training includes environmental conservation, project management, coordination, and monitoring and evaluation. She also worked as the M & E officer at National Agricultural Rural Inclusivity Growth Project (NARIGP) in Narok County. NARIGP has built her and enabled her to organize more community awareness programs on environmental protection. She previously served as volunteer solid waste expert in the National environmental Management Authority (NEMA). She conducted community outreach programs to enlighten the community members on solid waste management. She performed monthly data analysis and updated the county director on the solid waste trends in my sub- county. She achieved source reduction and enhanced community resilience through solid waste management. She encouraged reuse rather than immediate disposal. For instance, during her service, plastic waste reduced by about 34% because most of the packaging containers were used as storage cans. Under NARIGP she successfully managed to introduce to farmers the use red pepper and bee keeping as ways of keeping elephants away from the farms. She has participated in community consultation and needs assessment. She was tasked with the formulation of the project design, preparation, implementation, and evaluation. Before the project started she carried out high level planning to facilitate smooth flow of activities. She regularly held meetings with all stakeholders to have their views on project progress and advice. Valary ensured the focus was on the target groups. Adopting this approach in the project brought a positive impact in their livelihood. For instance, caliandra was used as a means of controlling soil erosion, weed control and livestock protein source. This in turn increased milk productivity among the dairy farmers by about 23% and the yields almost doubled. Additionally on waste management, she reduced waste generated by converting household waste into organic manure used in farms. She applied the 3Rs principle that is reuse, reduce and recycle. She holds a Bachelor of Degree in Environmental Science from Maseno University. Miss Ajwang is passionate about the environment and looks for opportunities to solve any environmental issues that arise. She envisages a future where climate change and global warming are kept at bay.	This will be a big networking forum for me. I believe in networking through which I can come up with viable environmental and agricultural solutions. Learning from a different environment and with new people will give me a bigger picture of the various environmental problems. The delegate role will give me a more precise and easier way to managing and analyzing applicants’ data. I am a passionate environmental scientist, M & E, project manager and solid waste expert. As a leader I wish to make it possible for my community to have a deeper understanding of climate change. This will make them understand their reasons for low yield. For instance, they will be able to understand the fluctuations in weather patterns. This youth forum will help me be more knowledgeable on matters climate change and global warming. I will use the knowledge acquired to teach the communities about climate change and green energy use. I will be able to easily come up with new solid waste management techniques. I want to manage solid waste in an economic way. For instance, using of packaging containers as storage cans in the households. I look forward to being an agent of change through this program. I will be able to do deeper analysis of the ideal plants and crops to be used in my area. I have taught environmental education in local schools. While at KCSAP, I had an opportunity to represent my county in agricultural expo and career fair in. I recently took part in OxFid International Youth Challenge. I took part in organizing and planning of the KFS events and programs. I participated in Arid and Semiarid lands (ASALS) rehabilitation through forestry. I successfully took part in the establishment of Masai Mau basecamp to minimize human wildlife conflicts. I encouraged ecosystem conservation through the practice of agroforestry. I have basic knowledge environmental planning and management. I embrace working in a diverse environment. Africa Climate Mobility Initiative Youth Forum is the ideal learning platform. I want to make my community a better place. It is important to take part in the new changes as a leader. Social inclusion is my number one priority. During the forum I will learn new environmental protection methods. I can easily consult other fellows and seek their advice where need be. During the forum I want to grow my career path. I embrace working in a diverse environment. I respect indigenous knowledge systems and environments of a specific region. The exposure I will get from this forum help me learn how people from different cultures perceive and handle climate change. I want to learn how the attention paid to this global problem. Africa is the most affected continent with climate change and global warming issues. As young people, through such forums we can advocate for implementation of ways to reduce climate change. This will help us reduce the climate related challenges we are currently facing through provision of viable solutions. I believe ACMI will make this happen.

I hope to collaborate and engage the Federal Ministry of Environment of my country in this regards early next year. I am motivated to be part of the ACMI Youth Forum delegates for COP 27, because of my burning desire to contribute fully to the global policy discourse on climate change at COP 27. I will love to present my position paper at the Forum as well as engage global leaders and stakeholders on the future and safety of our environments vis a vis climate change. I will also like to raise concerns on how it affects youth and children migration. The avenue will also be a veritable platform to build lifetime experience, connections and relationship. I can't wait to be part of the global experience.

At the same time, we are limiting deforestation and we are providing alternative solution which is planting bamboos which will serve as renewable firing woods, construction materials and embellishment (wall, ceiling and floor). Invested in bamboos is contributing in efforts granted by community in term of sustainability development based upon durable existence means. Besides, we are trying to collaborate with construction engineering for developing, thanks to higher percentage of plastic in the same solution that produce Makala bio, to make others construction products for example a tile or ceiling.	The constraints of the demographic growth of the city causing an expansion in the industrial economic framework from where the creation of the subdivisions for new cities with the sole aim of solving the overcrowding phenomenon of the old cities.

As the demographic increase became more spectacular, the problem of overcrowding seemed to be still without solution, although the creation of a subdivision of new cities was born. The next war will be “water war”. The example of South Sudan which is trying to negotiate a pipe for having water in Congo River is sufficient, but as we are living in Africa, it seems that all responses to climate change are seen in Africa. That is a great opportunity for young African to beginning learning in areas related to forest, water, environment and sustainable development. The conscious youth is called to understand the life, the evolution and the whole of the politics of their community to situate the role that they can play for community benefit, that’s why meeting the incredible people, discussing with other leaders who tragically managing difficulties by working for climate change.

1941	Raquel	Msimango	Wits University	https://www.wits.ac.za	My name is Raquel Msimango and I am a young leader within academia and entrepreneurship. I am currently pursuing my PhD in Engineering focusing specifically on energy transition within the African continent. During my undergraduate years, I was actively involved with the Wits University Engineers Without Borders Student Chapter where I headed a project on Biodiesel production in 2013. I have worked in various positions within engineering, risk advisory, investment banking and recently in academia as a sessional lecturer. My recent career move was motivated by my for knowledge generation and transfer, especially as the whole world is working towards meeting the ambitious net zero carbon targets by 2050. As a young leader, I believe the youth have an important role to play in the energy transition journey. My interest, focus and involvement regarding the energy transition journey for the African continent is on education and empowering young people to understand the importance of climate change. As an ambassador for sustainability, I believe that energy education will play an important role in the green energy transition journey. As a young leader and entrepreneur within the education and energy sector, I am passionate about working with other young people towards solving a myriad of challenges through sustainable solutions. I have had the honour and privilege of representing South African entrepreneurs within the education sector in Europe, Finland in 2016 sponsored by Investec Bank. Through various work experiences and projects, I have gained a wealth of skills and knowledge that will enable me to contribute positively towards the important conversations that will be taking place at COP 27. My involvement will lend a youth voice as we all work together towards ensuring a just transition.	I am currently pursuing my PhD in Engineering with a focus on sustainability and clean energy solutions at Wits University. I am applying for the sponsorship for upcoming COP27 that will take place between 6 - 18 November 2022 in Egypt. As a scholar and young leader within the education and energy sector, I am passionate about working towards solving a myriad of challenges through sustainable solutions. Some context on my PhD research and interest for applying for the COP 27 sponsorship: South Africa has a population of approximately 60 million people (with the United Nations forecasting the population to be between 65 – 67 million by 2030). Through my PhD research, I am investigating the potential use of waste to produce power. The current population throws away approximately 12.7 million tonnes of garbage per annum. As with other regions, South Africa has municipal programmes for waste collection. However, due to increased youth unemployment rates over the years (with the current youth unemployment rate sitting at c.66%), young people have become involved in informal waste collection. My research aims to explore the viability of using waste from landfills to contribute both to energy security as well as reducing the high youth unemployment rates. My PhD research topic addresses the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDG): · 7 (affordable and clean energy), · 11 (sustainable cities and communities); and · 13 (climate action). Additionally, my research covers the theme for COP 27 which is "Delivering for people and the planet". The challenge that I have found to exist in terms of achieving sustainability is the role of policy and regulation. I am excited about the possibility of having mentally stimulating engagements with Heads of State, ministers and negotiators, as well as climate activists, mayors, civil society representatives and CEOs at the largest annual gathering for climate change. I strongly believe that the youth have an important role to play towards creating sustainable solutions for all and I am excited to play my part by attending and implementing solutions towards sustainability and net zero targets. This opportunity will equip me with the skills required as I continue to act in my personal capacity as a climate ambassador as well as a member of the ACMI Youth Forum. I trust that you will consider my application to the most important climate gathering in the world. I would really like to play my part in advancing climate change conversations and youth-led projects alike. Looking forward to your positive response.

I hold an Honours degree in Hydrology and a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and Hydrology from university of Zululand, South Africa. My current study focuses on hydro-meteorological drought assessment in one of the South African primary catchments, the Vaal River Catchment. My masters research is under a study contract with the Agricultural Research Council-Insttitute for Soil, Climate and Water(ARC-ISCW) in the Agrometeorology division. My mission is to add value and produce research outputs for the ARC, an institute which conduct research and fosters innovation to support and develop the agricultural sector as well as for the UKZN-CWRR. I am based in ARC at Pretoria and on daily bases I focus on my master’s research project, providing research support to ARC-NRE projects and affiliated students as well as engaging with relevant stakeholders within affiliated research projects. I am a passionate and a goal-driven individual with a teachable attitude. I’m continuously looking for opportunities that will challenge me and help me grow professionally and personally, while I provide high quality research.	I am very passionate about climate change concept since it directly impacts the weather patterns and disrupt the usual balance of nature, resulting in negative impacts on human lives and environment. I was born in South Africa and have come to be aware of consequences of climate change which are clearly visible on changing rainfall patterns and rising temperatures. I believe that being in the field I am, which seeks to achieve the SDG6, with the education and skills I have accumulated so far, being given an opportunity to become the ACMI youth delegate for the CMP and meet other like-minded people from different parts of the world and different professional will be a very vibrant opportunity. I believe that young people contribution is crucial to the current climate action framework and their initiatives can help build a green future. I strongly believe that this can be a unique opportunity for a person like me and I will benefit a lot from networking, support and knowledge sharing, as well as interaction with different cultures. This opportunity can improve my awareness about the most pressing water and climate challenges in the world. I believe that the CMP is one of the much needed events by the globe to address the concept of changing climate and should I be given a chance to be a delegate, I will be very excited to accept it and pledge to do my very best to maximize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

At ALU, he is majoring in Global Challenges with a particular focus on Wildlife Conservation. He is an aspiring conservationist passionate about marine conservation management. Oumar Cisse worked as a technical assistant intern at the German International Cooperation Agency (GIZ) for the Co-Management of Coastal and Terrestrial Marine Resources project in Mauritania. He interned with the School of Wildlife Conservation(SOWC) as a study intern. Contributing to the State of Wildlife Economies in Africa report is one of his most significant academic milestones. Oumar Cisse interned as a Capacity Building Intern with The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD). In 2021, Oumar volunteered at the Global Affairs Unit/YOUNGO as the Mauritanian country contact point for COY16 preparation and currently the CCP of Mauritania for COY17 and was also selected as an official Youth4Climate delegate of Mauritania with other delegates a climate action roadmap for Pre-COP26 & COP26 at the Youth4Climate Driving Ambition event and represented recently Youth4Climate delegation in Mauritania at the African Climate Week in Gabon. Among his extra-curricular activities, he is the founder of SeedBall Mauritania, the third winner of the TotalEnergy Group competition, which is a Mauritanian company with an environmental vocation founded in 2022 and giving companies the opportunity to take concrete action in favour of reforestation in Mauritania through a unique approach: the SeedBalls method. In Rwanda, he co-founded The Power Circle, working to minimise food waste using black soldier fly insects in Rwanda and also providing educational tools for farmers to apply the circular economy concept to minimise their food waste and get their own organic fertilisers.	I am applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum Delegate for COP 27 because I would like to actively participate in the negotiations this year, although I have never attended a physical COP. One of the ACMI's goals is to protect those on the move and strengthen the resilience of African communities facing the climate crisis. Because of the ACMI's noble mission in Africa, I wish to attend the COP as an ACMI Youth Forum delegate. Furthermore, the participation of young people in the COP is critical because they are the first to be affected by the climate and environmental risks they will face throughout their lives. I intend to be a member of the ACMI climate solution selection committee, which will present its findings at COP 27 this year. I participated in the second edition. I want to attend the COP as the ACMI Youth Forum delegate because the goals of COP27 in Egypt this year are a little different, because it is time to put old decisions from the Paris Conference in 2015, the Glasgow Conference in 2021, and other conferences and agreements into action, and to seek mitigation and adaptation measures through modern technology and a green economy. The goals of COP27 in Egypt this year are a little different because it is time to put old decisions from the Paris Conference in 2015, the Glasgow Conference in 2021, and other conferences and agreements into action, and to seek mitigation and adaptation measures through new technology and the green economy. Currently, our project focuses on insects, which is the black soldier fly (BSF) that turns food waste into usable proteins and other high-demand goods, such as organic fertiliser for cities, parks, and green areas. The solution consists of feeding isolated food waste to BSF larvae, which have been reared in a nursery. Larvae grow on the waste feedstock and will reduce the waste mass. At the end of the process, larvae are harvested, and if necessary, post-processed into a suitable animal feed product. The waste leftovers can also be further processed and perhaps sold or utilised as a fertilising soil amendment. And the process will start again with BSF larvae as fertilizer or animal feed.
1945	Danielle Fabiola	Kamtie Nono	World Youth Parliament for Water (WYPW)	www.youthforwater.org	I am a young water, sanitation and climate enthusiast originally form Cameroon, and currently living in Canada. I have the privilege to serve the World Youth Parliament for Water (WYPW) as Vice President. We are a volunteer youth network of more than 10 000 passionate young leaders from more than 80 countries, proudly representing your "leaders of tomorrow", creating waves of change in the water sector and beyond. My goal as vice President is to take action on water issues at all levels; from concrete actions in local communities, to advocacy for youth leadership in the water sector at the United Nations General Assembly for example and prioritize water issues and create platforms for the expertise of youth to be recognized on these specific issues. I work hand in hand with our members, and partners to support youth-led water projects, and to allow all youth, to have a valued and respected decision-making seat among senior water and climate management officials. Since climate issues are directly related to the water and to the sanitation sphere, by advocacy, awareness, partnerships, and local action, I work towards youth involvement from the global North to the South in the water sphere, especially in everything surrounding the decision-making processes to achieve the SDGs #6, clean water, and sanitation for all. I was able to bring forward and amplify the youth voices during the 36th United Nations-Water annual meeting in Geneva. This was a unique opportunity to share with the world leaders, the youth momentum and movement that is undergoing, and why it is primordial and important to include and involve us, the youth, main stakeholders in resolving water, and sanitation issues. Furthermore, I was also able to facilitate a conversation between the WYPW and the Kofi Annan Foundation, that lead to the creation of a first ever partnership between them and a youth organization, that will help WYPW members to engage in capacity building and participate to a dialogue of impact to build a better and sustainable world. I was also able to work closely with UNICEF (Africa) with my capacity as WYPW Vice President as one of their judges during the 2021 hackathon journey. My goal there was to support and bring value to the youth promising ideas and innovative solutions to end open defecation in their local communities. Prior to the 2022 edition of the World Water Forum, I advocated and worked to mobilise youth from all over the world, and I also facilitated and co organized a panel for the WYPW during the World Youth Forum, where we spoke with politicians, policy makers, to raise awareness on the place of the youth in the water sphere, and beyond. Finally, I’m currently working on the co-creation of an African Youth Parliament for Water (AYPW), an innovative project that will be a youth led organization, offering a platform to the African youth to get involved in the water and sanitation sphere, while besides local action, working on the revitalization of the African youth policies.	This opportunity will allow me, as an African youth to attend the COP, and to work in close collaboration with other young leaders across Africa and the world, with one unique voice. Even though there are several excellent youth empowerment and engagement initiatives in the climate sector, studies prove that young people who are one of the main stakeholders are currently underrepresented and disempowered in governance, and climate management due to multiple factors, such as : hierarchical decision-making, technocratic barriers, fragmentation of youth engagement initiatives, tokenism and box-ticking, lack of intergenerational dialogue, current limited opportunities for capacity development and language barriers. This opportunity is an overcoming barrier to all the factors mentioned above, and could be a solution that will allow us, the African youth delegates, to come together as one, to better represent ourselves, our thoughts, and our own realities on the climate change thematic during the COP27 discussions and even above. Furthermore, I am convinced that my (water) and climate mobility (please refer to the previous question for more details) will be a useful skill to me, during the event. As I mentioned above, I’m currently working on the co-creation of an African Youth Parliament for Water (AYPW), that will be a youth led organization, offering a platform to the African youth to get involved in the water and sanitation sphere, while besides local action, working on the revitalization of the African youth policies, to make the youth inclusion in the decision-making process a norm, not an exception, as we (the African youth), represent more than 50% of the local population. The COP27 will be a huge, unique, and tremendous platform that will bring us together, water and climate youth advocates, allowing myself, and other African youth delegates, to do networking, and spread the world of the AYPW to senior (African) governments officers that will be present during the event. What an opportunity to “launch” the AYPW initiative and to take our make for an thirsty for change African youth !!! After the COP, and after having met with my fellow youth Africans, my team and I will be able to use their inputs and the COP outcomes, to produce clearer expectations and an action plan for the AYPW, when it comes to climate change and more specifically water and sanitation issues, and to better identify our first priorities on these thematic, and how we should re-orientate the AYPW to make it more efficient for all. Up to date, for the AYPW initiative, we've work and consulted with UNICEF (AFRICA), THE Netherlands government, UN-WATER, AMCOW, AQUAFED, THE TADJIKISTAN government, the SWISS WATER PARTNERSHIP, INTERNATIONAL SECRETARIAT FOR WATER (ISW) and of course the mother organization the WYPW, and much more... Great things are in the making!

My experience in relation to climate mobility is as a result of the growing awareness that adverse impacts of climate change and increasingly contribute, directly and indirectly,to different forms of mobility that unfolds within countries and across borders. This affect our weather as a result of rise in temperature which devastate extreme weather, the world has proved slow to respond, with mitigation plans failing far short of what is needed to preserve the planet I also happen to relate the imapcts of climate change, but people with great vulnerability are likely to hear the greatest burden. And the most vulnerable are children Infact Climate related events have already contributed to over 50 million children being forced from their homes
1950	Shamsuddeen	Abdulkareem	Young Voices Engaged		Shamsuddeen is a 21-year-old indigene of Kano state, Nigeria. A current level 300 Law student at Bayero University Kano with a second-class upper grade; an ambassador to the Green fingers gardening club, and the President of the Young Voices Engaged. He is a passionate environmentalist and a climate activist. Shamsuddeen possesses leadership skills, project management skills, communication skills and climate work experience even at a very young age of 21. In 2018, I joined the young toastmasters group in Kano state where I participated in a 6-week leadership program and obtained a certificate. In 2020, I also participated in a one-day workshop aimed at shaping and molding the future leaders organized by National Association for Muslim Law Students(NAMLAS) in Kano state, Nigeria, where I also obtained a certificate of attendance. My leadership skills went beyond mere certificates to real action when I was appointed as the president of the Young Voices Engaged in Kano state. The aim of our group was to empower the less privileged with entreprenual skills in order to make them self-reliant. As the leader of the club, I went further to organize the first ever fund raiser event in the state which accorded the presence of numerous people and raised more than enough funds for the implementation of our ‘helping hands’ project. As for my experience in youth climate work, I participated in the Green Fingers Gardening Club – a club aimed at enlightening young people on the effects of climate change. There, I was able to facilitate the successful campaign against climate change in schools, on the streets, and other relevant places. I also obtained a certificate of participation and emerged as an ambassador. Due to the positive impact of the club on my young self at that time, I contributed my literary skills and composed different environmentally related poems and written several articles on climate change which went viral on social media and delivered its sole aim of enlightening the youths. Furthermore, I have participated in numerous competitions that provides an opened door for ideas that aims at tackling climate change. They include the United Nations Environmental Program’s Young Champions of the Earth competition, The UNESCO’s youth multimedia contest, the African Multi-city Challenge, amongst many others. In addition to my climate work experience, I have performed several poems on the importance of our environment in many poetic events here in Kano state. The events include the for The Love of Poetry events in 2018 and 2021. My young age does not stand as a barrier to prevent me from having a positive impact on our environment. These qualifications of mine alongside several others would be enough to justify my tireless, diligent and determined efforts towards campaigning for the well-being of my dearest environment, in a society where such actions are fully neglected. My whole life revolves around building myself so as to aid in my pursuit of being an agent of change in my community.	Despite being one of the most populous states in the whole of West Africa with over 9 million people and as expected, one of the states where pollution is at its peak, Kano state surprisingly happens to be one of the most under represented states in global events on climate change. I live in a society where the joy that accompanies the seasonal rainfall has been substituted with fear. People sleep with one eye whenever the sky is visited by storms and thunder because they are on the verge of waking up floating on the surface of a soaked mattress. The recent flood in the popular Kantin Kwari market qualifies this statement. Billions of naira were lost due to flood caused as a result of the ignorant nature of our population who carelessly dump waste and block drainages and at the same time, build on waterways. My society is one where majority of our local women do not even know how to operate gas cookers. Whenever you speak of cooking, their minds goes straight to the burning of firewood and charcoal simply because that’s what their poor pockets can manage to afford. The beautiful and old trees of palgore forest in Kano state have been chopped off, green areas have been built on, erosion is taking over our soils, farmlands are being washed away by flood; this is in brief, the sad reality of our life down here in Kano state. These climatic vices are what motivates me every single day to become an agent of change in my society. I have participated in several programs on climate action; tree planting, recycling, and the lake where I gained a couple of first hand experience on how to do about with my quest for a sustainable environment. Being selected as an ACMI Youth delegate for the coming COP27 would serve as a life-saver for both myself and my community. I intend to share the ample experience I gain with my very few like-minded peers and together, we will ensure that we organize a series of public enlightenment programs in the local areas of Kano state to spread out the effects of climate change and ways to tackle it. In conclusion, coming from an area where the risk of climate impact is the greatest due to its pouring population and yet, their voices are not being heard in global climate events, I am triggered by this sad nature of my society to apply to become an ACMI youth delegate in the COP27.
1951	Meekness	Akinwole-idowu			My name is Meekness Akinwole idowu,a final year student of Geography, University of Ibadan(with specialization in climatology and development geography), we've carried out researches,and filled works,to enlighten people in the rural areas about the current happenings in the world at large. I'm part of an organization called TeenShift, where we reach out to students weekly, to help them create awareness of who they are, and also their environment, we've been able to reach over 500 students for this movement. I'm also a nature photographer, because of the interest I have in the environment,I did a little study, and realized how well we need plants in our environment, because one of the reasons of climate change is deforestation. I'm currently the recruitment and outreach director for Ladies of Liberty alliance(LOLA), and with every opportunity I get,it serves as a means of enlightening people for me.	Thank you so much for this opportunity,I grew up in an environment where people are nonchalant about their environment,With increasing carbon emissions, it stands to reason that we face compromised air quality. And this has affected human health, especially children in my community and this has even led to so many deaths of promising young ones . Air pollution has lead to asthma, heart and lung disease. This has even caused many, especially children to be separated from families or loved ones. Also, children are disproportionately affected by climate change and man-made disasters, with around 500 million children living in areas with very high risk of flooding and nearly 160 million living in areas of extreme or high risk of drought. In fact, climate-related events have already contributed to over 50 million children being forced from their homes, migrating across borders or being displaced within their own countries. This further pushed me to studying geography in the university, because I believe the lives of many can be better when they are aware, or when awareness is created.

In addition, she works as a freelance journalist, writing for a number of Arabic newspapers and English blogs.	I have a Master degree in Sustainable Development (Excellent with honors) from Suez Canal University in Egypt. In 2016, I got my PhD from the Faculty of Environment and Natural Resources, Freiburg University, Germany (Magna Cum Lauda). In 2016, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Research Institute for a Sustainable Environment of the American University in Cairo, Egypt. In 2018, I was a Visiting Scholar the Nordic Africa Institute in Uppsala, Sweden. Recently I was a Visiting Fulbright Scholar to the Department of Political Science of New Hampshire University in the USA. My research interests include global climate change policies and green transition, environmental justice, climate change adaptation and mitigation policies, environmental conflicts analysis and management, ..etc. In this regard, I published a number of international peer-reviewed articles and policy briefs. I collaborated with different regional and international think tanks such as the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed) in Barcelona and the Arab Reform Initiative in Paris where I published a number of policy briefs that address topics such as environmental mobilization and environmental justice movements, EU climate diplomacy and green transition, climate induced migration, etc. My professional experience also includes working as a Consultant for EU Program of Med Dialogue for Rights and Equality in the EU Neighborhood.

My expected publications will be the first articles that are written about just green transition in North Africa. Therefore, it is very important to attend and take part in COP27 in order to unpack the discourses around just green transition in North Africa and explore how discussions among participating delegates will shape the policy discussions and outcomes. In addition to my research and professional experience, I have been working as a freelancer journalist for a number of Arabic Newspaper and English websites, where I covered a wide range of topics related to climate change, with the purpose to communicate hotly debated climate change topics to non-technical audiences.

1957	Ahmed	Salah			I'm Ahmed Salah. I am a twenty one-year-old microbiology and chemistry student at Ain Shams university in Cairo, Egypt. My biggest dream has always been to be a scientist who can contribute to the solution of some of the biggest global problems like climate change. I believe this internship would be a fantastic way to build international experience and to grow my knowledge and will help me to be a better scientist. I have always had a great passion for biology and chemistry. This passion started early in my educational career and was the main reason for me to choose the science section during my high school years, where most of our subjects were science based. I am also proud to have been given the opportunity to be a student in the honours class at my school throughout my entire educational career. This class consisted of the thirty best students from all over the school. Furthermore, in grade 11, I was given the opportunity to represent my school, The English school of Cairo, in the famous Arabic educational TV- show Alabakera. The program consists of a scientific competition between schools all over Egypt. My proudest achievement was to graduate with full marks in biology and chemistry with a degree of excellence, ranking number eleven among the two hundred and fifty students in both the science and maths sections. After completing high school, my love for science led me to join the faculty of science. I got accepted into the finest faculty of science at Ain Shams university with an excellent reputation and rank in Egypt and the surrounding region. There, I chose to join the biology department. In the second year we were able to specialise within the biology department. Out of a total of five hundred students, I and sixty other students got accepted into the microbiology department, which requires the highest GPA. I chose microbiology to be my field of study after living through and seeing the global consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was, and still, a very strange and unique experience. It showed me that I wanted to be involved in the study of microorganisms to get a chance to help the world and my country in facing this pandemic and preventing any further crises like this. I also decided to take a major in chemistry alongside my microbiology major, as I believe that sciences are complementary. I decided to take chemistry because it is involved in literally everything, earning itself the nickname: the mother of science. If we look back at early scientists, we see their love for science and knowledge led them to study many branches of science, not limiting themselves to one subject. This helped them in their inventions and discoveries, because as mentioned before, sciences are complimentary. Alongside my studies I have enrolled in five different internships, because I am always trying to invest my time in the best possible way to expand my knowledge and gain as much experience as possible.	I have been always interested in climate change and how it could affect us on every side, I connect it all the time to my studies, for example I took a course at university called green chemistry where I studied the effect of climate change and how it affects us, most common expressions related to climate change like fog, and smog and the difference between them, I studied the effects, how we can try to reduce it, and how world is cooperating right now to try to save the earth from further side effects of climate changes, by the way I got a grade of (A) in this course, showing how much I enjoyed it and had passion to study it, also as I am studying microbiology I know how climate change can lead to the raise of new diseases resulted from either bacterial or fungal infections as some of those microorganisms can grow faster and be more infectious in warm degrees which is caused by the climate change, I would like to know more and more, I have the energy and passion and I look forward to attend the climate change conference to enrich my knowledge and be updated to the latest efforts being done in this field.

1961	PRIDE	NYANDO	USIU-AFRICA		Pride Nyando is a current Pharmacy student at the United States International University Africa. He’s in third year first semester. Pride was born on 12 October 2001 in Nyatao village, Muhoroni Constituency, Kisumu County in Kenya. Five years later, Pride started his Early Childhood Education at Nyatao Primary School. In the year 2008, he joined Nyatao primary school in class one. In the year 2014, Pride was elected as the representative of health and environment in the school while in class seven where he ensured school was kept tidy. As the representative, Pride came up with an idea of planting trees movement to ensure the environment especially soil from being eroded by wind. In the year end of the 2014 Pride was awarded as the best prefect of the year during the education day. In the year 2015, Pride was elected as the school president of Nyatao primary school. Four years later Pride joined high school where he graduated with a mean grade of B+ of 67 points out of 84 points. While still in high school, Pride was elected as the representative of peace and environmental club. He led in tree planting in his high school to ensure the environment is cleans and to curb climate change as a result of cutting down of trees. This made him to receive an award of the best prefect of the year. When he joined the school, there were only one hundred trees. When he was graduating from the high school, there were about seven hundred trees. During the outbreak of the covid-19 pandemic, Pride started a voluntary movement to teach students in the village. This was meant to make the students busy while they were at home so that they can read and not involve themselves in bad practices since the schools were closed. Pride also volunteered in distributing face masks and sanitizers to ensure my village members protect themselves from the covid-19 virus. In the year 2020, Pride was admitted at United States International University to study Bachelor of Pharmacy on a scholarship scheme. In the year 2021, Pride completed a virtual program on leadership and social impact. Pride also finished a virtual program on the impact of climate change to African countries and he got a certificate of completion. In May 2022, Pride got a wonderful opportunity to attend Yale Model African Union conference in Kigali where he was able to engage with other delegates from other parts of the world on how environmental pollution and climate change can be addressed. In July 2022, Pride was privileged to take part in recruitment of the Millennium Fellowship for the class of 2022 which involved reviewing applications and interviewing candidates for the position of campus director. Currently Pride is driving a change in Kisumu county to ensure that in each and every home at least 20 trees are planted. This will ensure that climate change is addressed. Pride is also having a good academic standing with a GPA of above 3.0.	Climate change is one of the neglected issue in this continent. As a young man growing up in Nyatao village, I used to see people (my village members) cutting trees to prepare charcoal for cooking or to build houses. Later the lands were bare, there was a lot of soil pollution and people used to get respiratory problems. I came to realize that the planting patterns changed since they used to plant twice in a year, later they only planted once in a season. From there I came to realize environmental conservation by planting trees is good for our health. This made me to start planting trees in primary school when I was the environmental representative. This ensured the soil was protected and there was no soil pollution anymore. One of the major lessons I learnt was that is each and every person has a collective responsibility to ensure our environment is protected. One of the challenges I faced while mobilizing people to plant trees was that many people did not know the importance of trees, therefore, I started by informing them on the importance of trees and environmental conservation and this made them to join me in the movement. It is not possible to find a platform like this conference where people can air their views on climate change since this is a neglected issue. Some of the workshops on climate change in my country are expensive to attend since it requires us to pay some money and this discourages may people who might be having ideas on how they can curb climate change. Especially for a student like me who is not working. Attending this conference will enable me to have a conversation and get to know what others are doing on the issue of climate mobility and environmental conservation. Attending this conference will provide me with a platform where I can share my ideas with my fellow delegates on climate change in the whole world. This conference will enable get insight from my fellow delegates on how they have been doing climate mobility in their communities and home countries and find what worked for them during their climate mobilization. I shall also have the opportunity to hear from climate experts and senior global climate change policy formulators to get the policy they have put in place to ensure climate mobility. This will help me gather all these policies and formulate a solution to climate change and drive a climate mobility in my community and my country as a whole. Attending this conference will enable me network with other delegates for future opportunities. Lastly, As someone who is passionate about climate action, I will be able to empower young men and women from my community on climate mobility and address climate change. By awarding me this opportunity, it will be an eye-opener and this

I am a biologist, research scientist, and I currently operate as an intern in a medical analysis laboratory at ‘’l’Hopital Luxembourg’’ in Bamako (Mali), and I also teach at private Universities, in Bamako. I went to the Pan-African University (PAUSTI) in Kenya, where I held a Master degree in Molecular Biology and Biotechnology. I also went to the University of Guelma (Algeria) and I held a bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry and a Master in Applied Immunology. I worked on malaria disease (a vector-borne infection) as part of my MSc. Research project. From this project, I published two research articles, (both are already available online but, one is preprint version). I am also interested in Vector management for the sustainability of health, and Vector-borne diseases and also tropical infectious diseases, their transmission is influenced by climate change.	I am greatly interested in the ongoing Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum - COP27 Delegate. My motivation for this Climate Mobility Initiative is based on, First of all, the climate change greatly impact my country (Mali). Mali is of the county mostly affected by climate impact. About 60% of our territory is desert especially the Northern counties where the daily temperature reach 45 C. Being experiencing the impact of climate, I am highly motivated to contribute and promote any plan or decision that can sensitize and wise my country people to adopt good plans regarding to the impact of climate change. My country also experiences terrorism since 2013, and gender balance is sometime impaired, that is, equity and equality regarding to gender are abused in areas where there security is impaired. I have a commitment to contribute in gender balance in my country as well as any area in the world. Participating in the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative will allow me to exchange together with the actors of Africa Climate Mobility and offer me the best opportunities for exchanges with other international experts sharing the challenges of sustainable mobility and strengthening climate action in African territories. As biologist, I interested in working on infectious diseases related to climate change especially vector-borne diseases (Malaria for instance). These tropical infectious diseases mostly affect vulnerable population in Africa, particularly in my country. However, proposition from experts of climate and scientists can help to inform vulnerable population. The forum of Africa Climate Mobility Initiative is an opportunity to expose the impact of vector-borne diseases. By discussing with experts, I believe together we can make good decision and share these decision with governments and also the affected population. I look forward to become more productive and an actor advocating for the less Privileges and vulnerable population.

1965	Abdelrhamn	Saleh	Ankara University	https://www.ankara.edu.tr/	Abdelrahman Amr is an Egyptian Ph.D. student at Ankara University in Agricultural Structures and Irrigation department. Abdelrahman believes that the life sciences like agricultural and environmental sciences are critical science even if it loses some of their luster among other sciences that focus on high technology because the other sciences seek to improve the welfare of the human being, while the life sciences are for the survival of the human being. Abdelrahman's belief in the importance of life sciences and his mindset led him to finish three academic degrees with excellent grades with honors; which has studied agriculture engineering (Biosystems Engineering) at Kafrelsheikh University, and he was rewarded for being one of the top ten students among all departments' students. After the BSc, he decided to expand his knowledge, so he studied for a one-year Environmental Sciences and Industrial Development diploma at Beni-Suef University. Then, he obtained a master of science degree in Biosystems Engineering from Uludağ University. In addition, as he has been a distinguished student throughout his studies, he received two full scholarships from the Turkish Government, one to study for a master's degree in 2018 and the other new one in 2022 to study for his Ph.D. Abdelrahman devotes his lifelong to learning, also eager to increase his academic contributions and achievements by starting to publish scientific papers and promotion to a higher academic degree. Abdelrahman's passion is to be one of the agricultural field developers through applying new technology like artificial inelegance. Abdelrahman aims to be one of the best agrarian scientists, so he learns and reads to develop himself in his life journey. Through his learning journey, he decided to share his knowledge, experience, and what he will learn to contribute and help build the next generation of scientists through his website.	Being one of those responsible for overcoming many problems that threaten Africa and the whole world, and as an Egyptian Ph.D. student, I found COP27 one of the best big chances to see the big picture of the real problem that we face, especially in Africa, related to the environment and agriculture. COP27 will be a great source of knowledge for a Ph.D. student like me as it will have many benefits, as it will be a reason for inspiration to find essential research points to be carried out during the Ph.D. period, which the COP27 program has a big diversity of topics which It includes many aspects. In addition, COP27 will be a gateway for me to establish new relationships with people from the same field with same interests to cooperate in doing research projects, especially researches that are on an international scale. Therefore, COP27 will be a significant point in my academic life and help me shed light on my scientific journey.
1966	Tuyishimire	Renatha	Agriseeds kayonza ltd	None	My name is Renatha Tuyishimire born in 1996 .A Rwandan and graduate of agricultural Economics from University of Rwanda. I am Evaluation officer and I worked in the RYAF as volunteer and I am agripreneur of agriculture production i do as professional worker .	I am motivated to become an ACMI youth forum delegate because I want to share my climate change experience with my fellow African youth and I am applying particularly to be a forum with like minds with an intention to network and collaborate with other members
1967	Araeik	Ahmed	Zahara for education	https://www.linkedin.com/company/zaharaforeducation/	I would like to become a youth delegate because , I am very interested in social development and community mobilization and I think there is a huge responsibility that young people should act to improve their society and make positive impact on the issue that effecting good society. I am also a community leader and change maker I am working on and advocating ending gender based violence , children marriage and female genital mutilation (FGM ) as this issue are deeply rooted and effect children girls and women so it become my responsibility to creating a safe, caring and positive environment and I becoming active in all related program , I am also . I attended regional conferences such as national youth conference, and young African leadership program ( yali regional east Africa ) this in addition to conducting number of workshop , motivate young people to explore their potential to speak and leading change . further more I was apart of general teaching lap (GTL program ), we completed a capstone project centered around designing solutions to the community. The project had to address at least one of the UN SDGs (United Nations Sustainable Development Goals) for a local issue in Sudan. I worked with a group of four other students addressing the 13th SGD; of Climate Action. The problem identified was the indiscriminate dumping of waste which creates public health and environmental issues. The solution proposed by the group was partnering with local primary schools to teach the school children ways to reduce, reuse and recycle	Since the beginning of the rainy season in June, about 19,409 people have been affected by heavy rains so far, and I am one of those affected people, last year my family lost their house in heavy rains that made me ask a question why is this happing every single year ? It was because of climate change, environmental sustainability has strong link with poverty and has been a major topic for governments, development partners and other stakeholders for many decades . Environmental degradation and poverty reinforce each other with boor being most agents and victims of environmental destruction . Many African countries responded by implementing conservation methods which were either not well develop, not well marketed or did very little to address the destruction of the environment . The situation has been worth by the emergence of the climate change which has combined with factors such as increase in population ,the dwindling size of arable land and cultivating on river banks , in water catchment areas, on slopes without terraces and on land traditionally. Floods are normal and expected in Sudan— this one wasn’t. Sudan’s food economy is generated by rain-fed agriculture along the Blue Nile river, which makes it particularly vulnerable to climate change. That is to say: Sudanese crops, and Sudan’s economy, is dependent on annual flooding. But due to increasingly unpredictable temperature and rain patterns, the region has been rocked by a series of severe droughts, so when the floods come, they come hard. Torrential downfalls are on the rise, but the region’s average rainfall has actually been decreasing at a rate of 0.5% over the last 60 years. Such changes in temperature and rainfall will affect the most important sectors adversely in Sudan, namely agriculture, water resources and health. The situation in Sudan is complicated because, The already fragile relationship between leaders is further threatened as Sudan contends not only with natural disasters, but also a pandemic and a failing economy. That is why there is huge responsibility on us as young leader to take action and rise the awareness about climate change
1968	Ndanji Duncan	Simwanza	CBC television Zambia	www.cbczambia.com	I was born on the 19th October, 1995 Northern Province, clearly am a very futuristic individual with a heart of servide, I have work in the media space for over 6 years the 5 years I have served a community journalist under BBC media action in Zambia on multiple station like Radio mano, Zambia National broadcasting corporation, QFM and radio Phoenix my engagement has been on two project namely the governance and the SRHR one, bit over the years I have been intrigued by Sexual reproductive health and climate change, gender and climate change ,disabilities and climate change as well as environmental sustainability through community approach. I joined a TV Station in 2021 with sore purpose of creating impactful content that highlights on issues of climate change and I did create a show that I produce called my environment my future fast forward I also joined a network called Zambia youth and network that has been championing youth participation in climate change issues, so far we have reached to 80, 000 views since the show stated on television and we have also recruited about 1500 youths in 10 provices of Zambia. My life story has evolved around community service since the time I left high school. I have deliberated on government and stakeholders meeting around environmental issues, with new ministry introduced by government called ministry of green Economy and Environment and also with $1.1billion budget funds towards environmental protection I feel more can be done in bring a lot of people towards the noble cause, because without Earth there is nothing that is meaningful to fight for.	My motivation around this is as a result of the negative impact climate change has on our environment. Many are the times we are seeing people dying because of climate change impact and unlike covid-19 climate change we keep on impacting us if we don't keep doing something about it, which includes educating people about good practices that can reduce the impact of climate change, influencing policy that if environmental friendly and reflects on how society should safe guard the Earth. My other motivation is protecting the future for the future generation, I don't want to be part of the problem,but the solution either would I want the next generation to come and say the messed things up because of poor reasoning around environmental issues.
1969	Aminata maimuna	Baldeh	Animal welfare advocate association The Gambia		I am Aminata Maimuna Baldeh, a student of Nursing BSc. at the American International University West Africa. I graduated from The Gambia College School of Agriculture in June 2020 with a certificate in General Agriculture. While at the college studying agriculture as a second year student, I earned the award of the Animal Welfare Advocate of the year in 2020. Upon graduation from the college, I involved more in youth activities such as Climate Change and Environmental advocacy as a member of the Youth for the Eenvironment, and a member of Peace Ambassadors - The Gambia. This granted me the opportunity and popularity to share my ideas with youths across the country. As a rural child I know how important taken care of our environment and taking care of animal welfare help people, and I enjoy helping them. In Africa, The Gambia in particular 90% of the population is dependent on agriculture for living and survival. As a young advocate I enjoy helping people earned their living through team work, collaboration and engagements. Through agricultural engagements by showing them how important the ecosystem is and help to practice agroforestry which is the best farming system currently. Considering climate change crisis. As a student nurse at the university, the more I go deep in medicine the more I realize in Africa the problem we have is hunger, as such we instead of needing more drugs, need food self sufficiency through eco friendly agriculture. Because 80% of the diseases leading to the loss of young people is related to poverty which also leads largely to migration. I am a firm believer that we should give more of nutrition than drugs. As a farmer I want people to eradicate the saying that “agriculture is the backbone of our nation's economy", to "Climate Change is the fundamental issue of economic growth", because agriculture is the oxygen of African countries, and climate change determines that. If we do not put efforts to consider our climate it will always affect agricultural productivity.	As a young and dynamic youth activist, I have been actively into youth work and community engagement, particularly in areas related to climate change and its related issues. As is outlined in UN Agenda 13 which talk's about taking urgent action in combating climate change and its related hazards. I have been involved in climate change restoration, and I am of the belief that it’s only by taking action towards its reduction, is the way that we can mitigate its effect. As climate change is real, I decided to align myself with a climate-related organization where I am always in action when there is a call for action. I have been in the service for more than seven years now, and I believe with my length of service toward climate change and the environment, attending such dynamic conferences will help me get wider knowledge and ideas on how best to mitigate climate change, and the knowledge gain shall be made into good use by sharing it to the community and my country at large. And the event will avail me of the opportunity to interact with climate experts within and outside Africa so as to expand my network and help me gain momentum in the fastest way in combating it. And this conference shall be my first international experience where various actors within and outside Africa shall be in attendance, so it will really be a milestone for me. I look forward to consideration in making my dream into reality. Given the opportunity to participate will further strengthen my capacity and increase my knowledge on climate change issues which will equip me more to continue sensitizing my friends, family, and the people of The Gambia on the relevance of climate change. The Gambia is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to the effects of climate change. As a coastal country and that depends a lot on tourism, it is an eyesore to see our beautiful beaches eroding away. This trend cannot be allowed to continue. Massive sensitization campaigns need to be conducted and this conference can help me do that better and more confidently. The devastating negative effects of climate change on the Gambia are evident but yet many are in denial. The eroding beaches, rapid desertification, unpredictable and erratic climatic and weather patterns etc are all in one or other seriously affecting the socioeconomic opportunities of the country. I am so much worried for my country’s future and I am obliged to make my contribution no matter how small. I believe this conference will provide me with that opportunity. As a young climate change advocate, this conference can be a game changer in my quest to improve my knowledge, capacity, and experience in the area of climate change. I have no doubt that after the conference my voice will be heard louder and clearer in the climate change arena. I hope I am given the opportunity to participate and achieve my dream.
1970	Fatma	Gamal abdallah	Bani suaf university		My name is Fatma Gamal abdallah . I am 23 years old. I graduated from faculty of science, Beni Suef University class 2021 in Chemistry and Physics department with grade very good and honours. After graduation, I became enrolled to have a Premaster degree in physical chemistry science and I have just finished it before a short time ago. Nowadays, I am preparing for my master thesis in the same field of study. Coming to the practical part, I am used to being a researcher in "Material technologies and their application lab" at my faculty since I was in the Theird year of the university. I also attended several workshops concerned with Water with the Centre of Excellece for Water in the American University in Cairo, and also was one of the participants in the WEF nexus winter school from the same organizations. Moreover, I got trained as a chemist and quality control engineer in the drinking water and sanitation company in Beni Suef for 1 months	As a master student in physical chemistry sciences, the whole that concerns to water or the environment will be in my scope. Therefore, taking part in such a great global conference will help my wide my sight and meet professional and specialists in all sciences related to the climate changes which is the major dilemma that drew the whole world's attention. I am used to being a researcher in "Material technologies and their application lab" at my faculty since I was in the second year of the university and my main target was water treatment technologies. and water engineering I also attended several workshops concerned with Water with the Centre of Excellece for Water in the American University in Cairo, and also was one of the participants in the WEF nexus winter school from the same organizations.and attend c"From Pollution to Solution" A Global Assessment of Climate Change which held in el nile university and bani suaf university (faculty of science ) Moreover, I got trained as a chemist and quality control engineer in the drinking water and sanitation company . A virtual training from Forage was very beneficial for me to understand the standards and laws that the governments put to face the climate changes.
1971	Ruth	Kundu	Egerton University	https://tagdev.egerton.ac.ke/eprofile/82?back=1	I am a Kenyan woman, age 26, who is deliberately aware that Africa needs my service. I am powerful in my own dimension in that I bring the best out of what is within my capability. I am shyly bold, full of strength and vigour knowing well that flexibility is key in the quest for results in set goals. I have a loud voice enough for myself and voiceless individuals as well. I believe that I am part of the change Africa craves for. I aim to optimize this through my career and influence. I am Master of Science candidate in Agri-Enterprise Development at Egerton University, Kenya, through a scholarship funded by Mastercard Foundation and Implemented by the Regional Universities Forum for Capacity Building in Agriculture (RUFORUM), through the Transforming African Agricultural Universities to Meaningfully Contribute to Africa’s Growth and Development (TAGDev) programme. I won a graduate fellowship at International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) wherein I am writing my thesis. During this fellowship I pitched my research in 3 minutes among 31 young international researchers and won the 3rd position in the Masters students category. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Agribusiness Management and Trade from Machakos University with a First Class Honours. I am centred on community development and betterment, where I use my career to contribute to this. I also have a keen interest on leadership, where I keep taking courses and leadership to shape my skills for leadership in my career. I have a keen interest on agricultural value chains development, analysis, and management. This interest has grown over years as I have been brought up in a farming community and by farming parents, and this, together with the practical learning experience I have gained during my career development has impacted on my view towards agriculture. I purpose to use my knowledge, skills, and talents as a change agent to African agriculture, more specially to rural smallholder actors, to the best of my capabilities. I aim to do so by contributing towards transforming smallholder farmers from the notion of subsistent ‘selling what is produced’ towards economically ‘producing what can be sold’. This is deliberately by incorporating the good agricultural practices in agriculture which are good for the environment. This is so since most of African economies are farming communities and dominated by smallholder farmers. If they get it wrong it means the economic and environmental welfare suffers as well I hope that one day I will be in the hot seat as a cabinet secretary of Agriculture where I will make rational and practically viable decisions that give a win-win situation to farmers and all value chain actors, and the environment. I am dynamic, disciplined, resourceful and phenomenal.	I am an MSc. Candidate in Agri-Enterprise Development at Egerton University, Kenya, in my research year undertaking my research in a Tanzanian Project at International Livestock Research Institute as a graduate fellow. My thesis is on ‘the impacts of dairy input practices on smallholder dairy farmers' participation in uptake and use of improved dairy inputs and technologies’ aimed to boost uptake of dairy inputs to increase productivity. I bring on board my entrepreneurial skills and experience gained during course work and undergraduate studies (Agribusiness Management) including undertaking Agri-enterprise farm visits. During the farm visits, I indulged in different businesses, identified problems and opportunities, and gave possible solutions that agribusinesses could address the challenges and opportunities. Currently, alongside my fellow course mates, we have set up an agri-enterprise that makes use of leather, a by-product of the livestock industry, and utilizes local skills of making leather products which economically empowers and solves the environmental risk of careless disposal of hides and skins in pastoral communities. I am interested in agricultural value chains development, analysis, and management as I achieve milestones career wise. I purpose to optimally use my knowledge, skills, and talents as a change agent to African agriculture, especially to rural smallholder actors, by contributing towards transforming smallholder farmers from the notion of subsistent ‘selling what is produced’ towards economically ‘producing what can be sold’. I am certain that these cannot be achieved without practicing of good agricultural practices that incorporates environmental conservation, given the rampant changes in weather patterns. With this I have actively participated in educating farmers on good agricultural practices at the farm while aiming to maximize productivity during farm visits, and on my chili plot I had after my undergraduate studies. I am passionate about sustainable development goals 1,2,3,8, and 13. I believe that if we work towards attaining the SDGs within our small capabilities, we can achieve a lot. I have a passion in making the world a better place through actively participating in agricultural value chains to enhance productivity and local employment opportunities through agri-enterprise development. Through these aspects, I can contribute to increasing rural incomes and livelihood, and taking agriculture to another level. To achieve this I aim to optimally engage in attaining skills, knowledge and capabilities that will enable me to interdependently come up with entrepreneurial ideas and bring them to live. This I can only achieve by engaging in practical activities and trainings, such as the COP27 opportunity, and networking with people with similar interests for growth and broadening of the mindset. My learning objective for the COP27 is gaining skills, knowledge and understanding of climate change and its domains, and how it relates to other sectors as such agriculture. The linkages I will gain across Africa and beyond will enable me to be part of a global network determined to make a difference and work towards mitigating the impacts of climate change. More so, these networks I create are an avenue of collaborations and partnerships for positive change and development.
1972	Ally	Mwamzola	Youth of United Nations Association(YUNA)		Ally is a youth climate activist who began his climate activism when he was in high school, where he co-founded a Youth of United Nations Association student club that started doing small activities on climate change, such as planting trees around the school and organizing community awareness activities on climate change to encourage behavior change and keep the environment clean. He became a Sustainable Development Goals Champion in 2017, and over the years has worked with various NGOs such as YUNA, UNA, ActionAid Tanzania, and Global Platforms to empower young people in Tanzania to conserve the environment and achieve the SDGs and Youth 2030 Agenda. He participated in COP26 in Glasgow, representing Tanzania and the Global South young people's voices in the conference, forums, and movements. Since COP26 last year, he has managed to organize and lead a number of activities concerning climate action in Tanzania, such as Climate Justice Workshops, training young climate activists on climate action, climate justice, and campaigning for climate financing. At the Earth Walk Event in Mafia, he led a community walk where more than 200 people from across the island came together and walked and planted trees with the aim of raising awareness of climate change. he initiated public dialogues with youth in universities and those outside of learning institutions, capturing climate change stories in marginalized communities such as Njinjo, and Kilwa, and in all these places, he managed to collect the voices of youth, women, and communities affected by climate change but contributing very little to it. He currently serves as the National Treasurer at YUNA and as the Coastal Zone Coordinator at Activista Tanzania.	The thing motivates me to participate in these activities is to share my experience, views and ideas with other different people coming from different backgrounds, culture, diversity and context. In participating in this conference it will give me a chance to grow as an activist for climate justice as I will get a chance to learn, unlearn and relearn various issues concerning climate action. I will be able to expand my knowledge and find new creative and innovative strategies for climate justice activism. Through this, it will help us more to conserve and rehabilitate our environment and getting resolutions, working together to advocate for the implementation of various policies that world leaders and country leaders should enforce and ratify for the climate. Through this it will enable us to improve and grow more on specific and different environmental activities which we conduct in our community. I will be able to represent the marginalized and underrepresented groups in my community that are highly affected by climate injustice and I will make sure their voices are heard and amplified. Through my participation in the activities, I will get to learn ways and means on how youth in our country can fully take up the responsibility in environmental conservation. I believe, I have something to contribute to the activities, contributing ideas, skills, knowledge, stories, experience that will bring meaningful impact to the activities and after the activities to apply what I gained to my community to bring the change and the beautiful world we all desire to see for generations. My with climate action began when I was in school. The school in which I was enrolled to study had many issues in which we decided us as students we can solve the issues. The school did not have enough trees at its compound and it bothered us as there was no enough shade during free time, the air was not fresh, we did not have outdoor learning space, so we decided to plant enough trees for that. We decided to establish a YUNA-UNCTN Club at school which focused on environment, education, and health issues. We managed to mobilize our fellow students to join the movement, it reached a point where we started doing cleanliness outside the school at the areas surrounding our school. The community around us were moved by the initiatives and they joined the movement. Through various community activities, I continue to initiate and participate in climate action projects and activities as follows: We organized various community awareness and sensitization activities on climate justice such as dialogues with community members discussing the impacts of climate injustice and solutions on how we can tackle it. We did various beach cleanup activities for the aim of conserving our ocean, involving more than 100 youth and organizations from different places came together for the cause. We organized the commemoration of World Environment Day. We involved more than 100 youth who came together to commemorate the day in public dialogues involving various stakeholders such as UNEP, the government, community leaders, and young people. In the discussion, we came up with resolutions concerning the respective themes for the commemoration. I participated as a trainer for the LINDA UHAI project, which called for actions on different levels, including behavioral and cultural change of those responsible for the environment. The project had the theme of ‘Act Now for Climate Change'.
1973	Michael	Chepkor	Egerton University	www.egerton.ac.ke	Michael Kipsisin Chepkor is a Kenyan and a Masters student at the department of Natural Resources, currently pursuing his research at Egerton University, Kenya. He has a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Science and passionate in climate resilient and green entrepreneurial advocations. He is a Member of Environment Institute of Kenya and is a registered Associate Expert under National Environment Management Authority (NEMA). He is the founder and CEO of Camic Apiculture, a climate resilient business venture involved in beekeeping, educating and helping the communities in the Asal areas of Baring to embrace beekeeping as an alternative source of livelihood hence promoting conservation of trees, discouraging charcoal burning, which has been among the main sources of livelihood. He oversees the implementation of the venture and ensures that the community is able to secure a good market for their honey products hence motivating the to keep practicing beekeeping thus promoting environmental conservation. He successfully competed in a World Bank funded business competition in Kenya, MbeleNaBiz competition, managing to successfully submit a climate resilient idea of beekeeping, winning a grant OF KSH. 900,000, approximately 8,200 USD. He has grown in beekeeping and is currently involved in innovations in beekeeping, working on queen bee rearing technology under the Human Centred design program, funded by Michigan State University in partnership with Egerton University. He managed to be awarded a scholarship to pursue his masters in Natural Resources Management under RUFORUM Scholarship program, funded by MasterCard Foundation. He is currently actively participating in the Africa Youth Water Forum, involved in water related conservation and research activities where climate action and environmental conservation is key.	Climate Change Conferences have been great opportunities where world leaders and minds interested in climate change discuss critical issues regarding climate change with great resolutions on climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies and initiatives. COP27 is one of such great discussions where I would like to attend and be part of the change makers discussions and contribute towards in such discussions. Community engagement has been a great opportunity for my personal growth in respect to climate action as well as environmental conservation. The community plays a key role in conservation and should be highly be considered in terms of awareness creation and campaigns. Through my interactions as I advocated for beekeeping, I have been able to realize that knowledge not only at local level, but also on ideas at African and also at global levels is key. Therefore, the chance as a delegate for COP27 will be a great opportunity to interact with other African youths and African as well as World advocates with the same goals in climate action, climate change as well as how to mitigate and cope with the climate change as it has been evident for instance from the swelling of Rift Valley lakes, a case of Rift Valley lakes in Kenya, unpredictable rainfall patterns and the prolonged droughts in many African countries, more specifically, Kenya. Apart from my professional background in Environmental Conservation, natural resource protection as well as climate action, I am passionate in promoting climate resilient actions that promote climate mitigation. Therefore, I am interested in representing my country, Kenya as a youth delegate in the COP27. This will give me an opportunity to interact and network with other youths, share ideas, engage in dialogues and learn with other global youths in the efforts to ensure climate action is taken to protect our Earth. My passion on climate resilient actions has been evidenced after I successfully pitched my climate related business idea in a competition in Kenya (MbeleNaBiz) funded by World Bank emerged among the 750 businesses funded. Furthermore, this has been featured in an article in World University News (https://www.universityworldnews.com/post.php?story=20211205093145136).

1975	Peniel	Kabeya			Autobiography I am a refugee who lives in Zimbabwe. Here, I live with both of my biological parents and siblings. I have six siblings, four brothers and two sisters. According to my point of view, I consider my family to be my direct family. All my family members play an individual role in life. However, my younger brother, Benjamin, is more of a friend. He seems to understand and pay attention to all my sorrows and joys. We tend to always have each other's backs. Generally, my family members are very supportive in most things I do. My family has instilled in me the spirit of a victor. They have always encouraged me to be the best at all things I do. Thus, after incorporating this idea with the basic ideas of USAP i have decided to make sure i do everything in my power to do the best i can. I am Congolese by descent but South African by birth. I lived in South Africa until the age of five, when I left. We left due to the extreme xenophobic attacks that occurred during the year of 2008. That's when we made our way to Zimbabwe. Upon our arrival to Zimbabwe, we lived in a transit camp. We then moved from the transit to our new home. It was called Newtown. The houses were built from mud and bricks. Literally just that ! Due to the series of dangers we faced during rainstorms, we were given a new house that was in a better condition. Due to my constant movement from one house to another, I personally consider home to be the people that are around me no matter what. Despite my geographical location. Our teachers hardly came for lessons. I therefore, developed a habit of teaching myself. I used to copy all the questions in textbooks in my notebook i called the "The Machine" and use them for revision. It was difficult to study due to the fact that our house was very small. I could not study at school at night because it was quite far from my house. Thus, I used to wait for all my family members to fall asleep, which was usually around 10pm. That's when I studied. I would use a solar lamp. These hard conditions created in me a great determination to make sure my future generations never experience the hardships. I developed into a self sufficient person who never blames others for my own failures. In 2020 I decided to write O level exams from three. In my area the Usap program had gained a lot of popularity after the first class was taken. I was thus strongly encouraged by Matson to apply. Despite all the discouragement from my peers I got admitted. Due to the events in my life I used to work out mathematical problems to deal with stress. I am practically addicted to science and how to use it to save the world. .	Climate change is a real and serious threat to mankind. There has been an increase in temperature all around the globe. Snow is melting on Mt Kilimanjaro and sea levels are rising. What does this tell us? In the next years we might mourn the extinction of the polar bear and many other species. This is a matter I feel that needs to be addressed before it is too late. Recent studies have shown that increased global warming may result in prolonged droughts and increased destruction of crops by pests. That spells disaster for most of Africa. I live in a rural area where 90% of lives depends on Agriculture and its products. Therefore, if all these effects of global warming among other fall upon us we would be doomed. Over the past four years there have been erratic rainy seasons that were somewhat unpredictable. We have already started having a vivid idea of the series of havoc that lay ahead of us if the matter of global warming is left unaddressed. ACMI therefore, provides a platform for me put my ideas on in public on how to address the matter of global warming. As a nineteen year old refugee boy, it is extremely difficult to get such a platform. Everybody can make a contribution to save planet earth. In my community for example, we have individuals who cut down trees continuously without any replacement. This has had an impact on the soil erosion we have experienced lately. However, this issue has been addressed by planting much more trees. There is need for individuals all over the globe to join hands in the aid to save our home. By attending the ACMI Youth forum as a delegate I believe it would be my first step in being given the opportunity to have my voice and those of other young people like myself to be heard. In a nutshell, Dinosaurs got killed by asteroids, the Passenger pigeon by hunters the Dodo by hunters as well but if left unchecked humanity might face extinction by their own hand.

I have in many occasions used my leadership skills in solving conflicts and disagreements. However, an instance that stand out for me was when my colleagues at work disagreement over responsibilities at work. John and Mike both worked in the same company and department. Both are junior officers but work under different supervisors. While they do not share the same job description, they have similar skills. John’s supervisor left an assignment for him and instructed him to share the work with Mike. However, Mike was not ready to give a helping hand since it was not authorized by his supervisor hence a conflict ensues between the friends. They could not reach an agreement. As the only colleague available, I Upon listen to both, I solved the conflict by emphasizing on the concept of shared responsibility amongst members. he values of diversity, inclusion and equity are of great importance in creating a society that appreciates every individual. Being the pillars of The Mandela Washington Fellowship, I identify myself. The value of diversity to me is important in developing and creating a stronger sense of wellbeing and identity while ensuring that the interests and opinions of everyone is respected and valued. The value of Equity on the other hand is imperative in ensuring that everybody is given an equal opportunity ,fair treatment without an iota of discrimination	therefore aspire to learn and acquire various skills through the Fellowship program.

1977	Kevin	Kakorozya	Young and Alive Initiative	https://agenergies.co.tz/	I’m a 24 year old born and raised in the coastal city of Indian Ocean Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. Growing up I have always been vibrant, outgoing and bubbly to some, but shy, timid and too quiet for others. Depending on my connection with the respective person I tend to be a different person to everyone. On a common ground I’m a person strong in individuality, the freedom of expression and the right to choose. Headstrong and goal oriented. Despite working full time at a Solar Energy based company I never stop to learn and take a course every once I get the opportunity. I’m obsessed with learning, discovering and accountability. Currently planning on taking an Online Marketing course. A year back when I started working for the Solar Energy based company full time, I developed a huge interest in renewable energy and sustainability. It has been my passion ever since and I’m taking a step into learning more about Climate Change and Global Warming. As an individual in the LGBTQIA+ community, every knowledge I acquire is an opportunity to make me more equipped and qualified to seize opportunities when they approach, since living in such a heteronormative society as mine it’s a huge challenge and almost impossible for the folks in the LGBTQIA+ community to be employed. Other than that I have a huge interest in Fashion and Style, as well as Online Advocacy. I enjoy watching documentaries, reality shows as well as reading biographies.	As a new lifelong enthusiast of Climate Change I have discovered that my Tanzanian community is highly under-educated and informed about the impact of the Climate Change. Urgency is needed in my community and this program is going to open the door for me to be able to localize and make this a movement, in order for every person to be incorporated and collectively make a bigger impact. My experience relating to the Climate subject was purely birthed after me joining a renewable energy based company, Solar Energy. There I learned a lot and acquired so much knowledge on the subject and how much education is needed, moreover in remote areas as the people tend to be the least exposed. I have so far held successful projects and campaigns hence advocating Solar lanterns use for the fishing community, and Solar pumps for the community farms. I believe that I will be a great symbol of Climate Advocacy in my community, as we are lacking enthusiasm and prominent figures in pushing for the movement. The subject is still foreign to majority of people in my community and not so many leaders or NGOs have been catering the practical measures to change that. It’ll be an honor for me to represent the Movement in my country, and push the knowledge to the least informed and the untold.
1978	Judy	Kariuki	Sunculture	https://sunculture.io/	I am a 23 year old environmental activist. I am a 3rd year student at Egerton University Njoro. I am pursuing bachelors degree in Environmental Science. I have a passion in environment conservation since I was young. I remember back then when my dad retired I was around 5 years old and we had just moved to our rural home in Murang'a the land was bare so we planted a few vegetation for aesthetic purposes and after school I was supposed to water the tree and the flowers , 17 years later we have a beautiful home in of a 5 year old. My dad who is 73 years old now has taught me the importance of environmental conservation which back then meant not throwing plastic bags all over the compound and turning the taps and the lights off when they are not in use. I did my KCSE back in 2018 I wanted to a paramedic but I dropped out the med school to pursue environmental science in 2020. As I continued with my education , my brother who is an engineer got a job at Sun culture in Kenya which is a company helps farmers to use ecofriendly ways to grow food while observing conservation of our planet. I had a chance of working with him closely as a volunteer to help convince farmers that our news ways of farming were better and more productive more than the old ways. Sun culture’s main mission is to ensure the available water is used sparingly and also reduce carbon emissions in our planet since that is the main cause of the alarming climate change. During my off days I visit new farming villages and teach the farmers on suitable irrigation methods and use of solar energy which is readily available, its clean and is efficient. By doing this we are trying to work towards the 2030 goal of zero carbon emission. I also teach the farmers about maintenance and the workability of these carbon free emitting environment. From our research about 30000 people in rift valley who had no access to electricity have benefited. I volunteer to work towards the 12United Nations goals of sustainability which include poverty eradication, zero hunger, good health and well being, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, affordable clean energy , decent work and economic growth ,industrial innovation, maintaining life of the land, climate action , responsible consumption and production with zero carbon emission and reduced in equality. We have created more than 100000 jobs Also I have worked closely with Professor Caren in doing research on a journal called “The vanishing Rivers of Central Kenya” which will be published by around December. I am also working on a magazine called “the Safe Way” Which will be telling stories about how people are adopting the green enegy use .I would like to educate more people about water conservation because according to research if we are not careful in the next century there will be a water crisis.	Both of my parents are farmers, we live in the village and since I was young ,my dad has always been my role model and has been teaching me different ways and reasons for environment conservation. I have had a chance to achieve the 12 UN sustainable goals. 10000 have benefited from these programs are they now have a source of livelihood. Rivers in my home constituency and streams are cleaner as people are more aware about conservation. Soils are now less polluted as farmers whom I have interacted with now have embraced organic way of farming. We have changed lives. I have taken a part in helping fight a war against climate change and also I would like to meet people with the same goals and ambitions. I would like become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27. I have done enough as a young climate activist.

1981	Soumaya	Ghouddan			I am twenty-one-year old Soumaya Ghouddan from the kingdom of Morocco. I reflect a varied personality, including ambition and enthusiasm, and the qualities of thoughtfulness and sense of responsibility. I am also a well-determined and vigorous person. I do everything with passion and love or not at all. I am an English studies graduate with a BA in English litertaure, and my research on refugee studies and refugeehood in Western media. Through my research journey, I have embraced a deep interest in refugee issues, especially African and Syian and their collective struggle as refugees. For years, I have been passionate about intercutural communication, which led me to participate in activities and programmes that aim at teaching youth the importance of cross-cultural communication by focuing on the recognition and respect for cultural differences. I hold a deep passion for connecting with people all over the world and sharing my ideas about global social issues with them. I am a part-time volunteer, motivated by my love for helping my community and devoted to human development. My experience in volunteering began at a very a young age. At primary school, volunteering became a big part of my life. I would always find myself the first to take initiative and take whatever volunteering opportunity organized by my school, such as school projects, fundraising, classroom decoration, cleaning the school yard. ect. These are some activities that sowed the seeds for my volunteering journey and childhood was definitely a foundation upon which my active participation in my community was established. I joined al-Amal association in secondary school. It is an association that have organized many activities targetting different sectors (education, environment, orientation…). The nature of the activities organized by al-Amal is very inclusive and focus on engaging children and youth in volunteering actvities recognizing their position as the leaders of tomorrow. I participated in a serie of activities named “ our neighborhoods” which aimed at cleaning neighborhoods, painting walls and decorating alleys with plants. The cleaning of my city’s neighborhoods helped enrich my experience in voluntary work as it teached me how to deal with certain challenges and come up with creative ideas to make the volunteering activity most fruitful . My engagement in volunteering activities didn’t only stop at what al-Amal organization organized. I ventured my way into participating in a number of community teamwork projects. I, together with the youngsters that are active in community projects, managed to organize tree-planting activities and targetted most specifically areas that have been damaged by human activities and nearby forests that experienced wildfire. Through my passion for volunteering, I have embarked on a journey of giving back to my community and a long path of advocacy for active youth participation. I have kept a keen interest in personal development. That is to say, I’m always committed to leveling up my leadership skills to better serve my community in specific and the world in general and appreciate what youth can contribute to the world.	It is only fair to say that the awareness I received from a very young age about voluntary work and dedicating one’s abilities to serve their fellow human beings, shaped my vision about the change and impact we’re responsible to carry out and implement. Thanks to this awareness, I came to the realization that childhood is a stage in which values of collaboration and responsibility are cultivated. Therefore, I reinforce my role as an advocate for youth civic engagement mostly through spreading awareness whether personally or in social media. I read the IPCC’s 2021 Climate Report, and I was shocked by the disastrous findings about climate change’s impact the report presented and how human activities are the leading cause of it. And I came to understand that although climate change’s impact is already severe, we still can limit it if we all work together on making change. Nevertheless, it is until I got personally and my community affected by climate change that I started becoming more aware of the gravity of this defining issue in our time. Last winter, we experienced in my city and all across the region of Northern Morocco unprecedented floods that left a trail of damage, such as ruined roads and water-logged houses and properties, even my own house and all the houses of my neighbors were flooded. I took my volunteering experience to a new level when I decided to join the “Volunteer in Morocco” association, which is a charitable organization financed by the European Union under the European Solidarity Corps. One of the most prominent and impactful projects we organize at VIM is the ‘We Act Because We Care’ project, which is a sustainable ecological project that seeks to combat the impact of climate change. All in all, being a delegate in COP27 would provide me with a distinct experience full of learning and improvement, which will lead me to a more improved advocacy and will equip me with detailed knowledge and make me an improved young leader in my society and a creator of change and impact. Advocating for climate change action certainly stems from my sheer determination to address this defining issue that is threatening our livelihoods and our planet. Participating in COP27, especially as a representative of the Global South's youth would make us see our possibilities as African youth limitless. On a personal level, being a delegate at the conference of the parties under the umbrella of ACMI Youth Forum would be a journey beyond my wildest expectations. For years, I have been meaningfully engaged in the fight towards a better environmentally friendly future for all as my efforts have been fortified since I became a member at the Arab Youth Council for climate change initiated by the Arab Youth Center in Dubai. That is to say, I believe that ultimately we as African youth ought to be included to address the phenomenon of climate change because we’re all part of this planet and because ultimately there’s no planet B.
1982	ALHADJI	HADIDJA	THE COWRY NETWORK	The Cowry network	As an avid social activist, Hadidja Alhadji has dreamed of working with international organisations since her early age. Her passion to work in this particular sector began with coming from a community that was very poor in Africa precisely Cameroon. Currently pursuing a master's degree in the faculty of international affairs at the Le Havre university of Normandie in France. Having graduated from high school with a diploma in economics and social sciences,she obtained a 100 percent scholarship to continue her bachelor degree in international exchanges in Turkiye. Alongside studies, she was an active member in the social activities carried out by the office of international students in university of Akdeniz in Turkiye. As an active committee member of the Adamawa diaspora in Turkiye and of the Cowry network in France, both organisations with the aim of giving back to the society, sensibilisation, women empowerment, and climate change. Hadidja first became interested in community and social activities when she volunteered for a community organisation which was organising a sensibilisation panel on child marriages and girl circumcision in her community. During her academic years, she has been actively Participating in diplomacy forums and economic conferences and volunteering activities in other countries like Ukraine. With the opportunity of studying abroad, she had the chance to broaden her horizons by being in a multicultural environment which in one way strengthened her skills in social activities. Additionally, she is well acquainted with community needs as well as the cultural differentiation which led to smoother exchanges and better understanding of what societal issues were. AS part of the cowry network, she is responsible for budgeting and documenting all aspects of a given project through project covid organised in 2020 and 2021. She organised and budgeted a project for food and package distribution for families who could not afford sanitary products and basic needs for their daily consumption. BY doing so, she specialises in carrying out all aspects of a project from conception to execution and feedback which has given her an excellent reputation in the organisations she takes part in.	I am an active community advocate, and this chance will allow me an opportunity to tap into the vast expertise, creativity, and enthusiasm of other young people in order to build and execute climate solutions that will benefit my country and Africa as a whole. I have effective communication and networking skills, and I will therefore be able to work with other young people and share and present our ideas I am currently a member of the COWRY network which in its new project advocates for improved environnemental conditons in relation to air pollution and drought in the northern region of Cameroon. As student and member of this association, I would therefore want to represent my association at COP27 since the Cameroon is now experiencing the worst drought and environmental pollution in years as a result of climate change. In 2021 to 2022, I was appointed as member of the association to sensibilise the northern cameroonian schools on climate change and air polution , tasked with mobilizing and increasing young involvement in climate action.I planned a hybrid panel discussion and invited climate activists, local NGOs and environmental sustainability professionals to educate the community on climate change prevention and how to join in climate action.This debate brought together over 15 public schools, and I also got the opportunity to participate in climate action by facilitating these hybrid dialogues. Moreover the works I have done, have not directly been related to climate mobility but indirectly they have been. Despite these associations being small ones, the projects we accomplished have helped creat a difference in the our communities. The projects I worked on while as a memeber of the adamawa diaspora and cowry network, were based on school student were centred around collecting PET bottles from and cleaning the environment to reduce pollution and improve cleanliness in the communities and also selling back those PET bottles to local recycling agents. based on our point and based on the incentive system to reduce pollution and increase sensibilization and creat more awareness. For my internship at the end of the academic year 2022 to 2023 , i would like to join the greenpeace movement and WWF therefore applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum Delegate for COP 27 will not only open my way to be more present in this domain but also because I will like to actively participate in the negotiations this year although I have never attended a physical COP. For these reasons and more, I believe I will be a worthy delegate of the ACMI at COP.

She envisions a world where both men and women will have equal access to power, healthcare and educational opportunities	Being in the healthcare space, I have an understanding of the impact of climate change on healthcare, I also understand the social dynamics of climate change. Climate change impact is not the same for everyone, the impact is gendered, and within this the most marginalized people including those living with disability stand to be more vulnerable to health impact and other negative outcomes of climate change. This is why it is important to have an intersectional approach to climate change, preparation, and response. I want to be part of COP27 to bring the healthcare perspectives in addresing climate change issues. The world today relies on people working together to solve, current and emerging challenges, I believe it's time for health/gender advocates to work together with climate change advocates in policy making process and interventions for sustainable programs. I want to be part of COP27 to bring in new partnerships and network to solve health and climate change issues in our communities.
1987	NDRINARIMANOELINA	ISEMAEL AUBIN	SAF/FJKM (Development Department for the reformed Church in Madagascar)	http://saf-fjkm.org/	25 years old, Isemael holds an engineering degree in geoscience and environment from the Polytechnic University of Antananarivo, Madagascar; where he acquired extensive knowledge and skills in youth development and environmental advocacy. Isemael has already worked extensively in volunteering, especially helping Malagasy young people in Madagascar to learn the English language, mentoring for young people and community service and especially in actions to combat the effects of climate change in Madagascar. He motivates and defends his aspirations through speeches in the media in the Free FM channel by raising awareness among young people to be self-responsible in the protection of our natural habitat and above all the protection of our common environment. Having already held volunteer positions since 2018 when he was still a student, he was the founder of a free English course for engineering students at the University of Antananarivo, as well as an English club where to each session, relevant themes are selected, including themes relating to the commitment of young people to the protection of the environment, the fight against climate change, ecology and biodiversity. More than 700 students have already benefited from his initiative. He represented the Malagasy Civil Society of Madagascar during the African Climate Week in Gabon Libreville from August 29 to September 02 to carry the voice of the civil society of Madagascar with the aim of proposing reforms to improve the access of Organizations of Malagasy civil society to access the Green Climate Fund. He is also a member of the “One way for change” coalition, which brings together young international human rights defenders. And currently as a technical project manager at the SAF/FJKM organization or the Reformed Church's department for development, he has already carried out 5 projects, including 2 on the environment and 3 on risk and disaster management.	"Having worked in an Organization maintaining unity in the diversity of gifts and skills, creating a better future for human beings through social protection and strengthening the resilience of vulnerable communities, concerned about the protection of environment, and wanting to bring the voice of young African and especially of the community vulnerable to the effects of climate change in Madagascar" these are the key words that have always caught my attention to want to participate in the COP 27 event. Enthusiastic, and already engaged in actions to fight against climate change in Madagascar, this global event will allow me to exploit the opportunities associated with climate mobility in Africa. Concerned about corporate value and above all human dignity, I would like to lead a joint plea by young people in favor of the most vulnerable communities who are bearing the full brunt of the effects of climate change. In particular, my participation in this COP 27 will allow me to find together resolutions supporting different solutions concerning the way to reduce the rate of climatic migration in Madagascar because this fact is very frequent due to the acute drought in the South of the Country. In addition, Madagascar is the first country in the world to suffer acute famine due to the effects of climate change leading to massive climatic migrations from the South to the North of the country, traveling more than 1000 km, according to the WFP in 2018. I was therefore educated in an organization with a programmatic vision that puts people at the center, working for human dignity and this is also with the aim of making the community more responsible and active in order to find the best alternatives to alleviate poverty through empowerment despite the effects of climate change in Madagascar. In addition, participating in COP 27 will also enhance and sharpen my leadership skills and give me a solid platform to learn and share my experiences with like-minded young African leaders.

They include natural disasters (such as loss of assets and disability after floods), health shocks (such as health expenditures and lost labor income as a result of malaria), crop losses (as a result of drought or crop disease), and food price shocks. It is estimated that floods affected more than 1 million people in African cities between 1997 and 2008. Climate-related factors will make poverty reduction ever more challenging in the future, for three reasons. First, warming on the order of 1.5°C–1.75°C above preindustrial levels is virtually unavoidable, as a result of past emissions of greenhouse gases. This warming (which could well be higher for parts of Africa) will cause loss of cropland, reduce crop production and fish catches, worsen undernourishment, and increase the risk of drought. Second, as a result of the persisting gap between global pledges for climate mitigation and the abatement efforts needed to control further climate change, there is a considerable risk that further warming will materialize. If existing policies are not scaled up to attain the abatement targets that countries formulated in the lead-up to the Paris climate summit in December 2015, warming could approach, or even exceed, 3°C above preindustrial times. Such an increase would have disastrous consequences for Sub-Saharan African. Warming in the range of 3°C–4°C above preindustrial temperatures would result in heat extremes affecting the vast majority of the continent’s land area, heightened risks of extreme drought (particularly in southern Africa), sharp increases in the rate of crop failure (up to every other year in southern Africa), a 20 percent reduction in the yields of major staple crops, and, by the end of the century, flooding that would affect up to 18 million people a year. Third, regardless of whether warming is contained below 2°C or exceeds that threshold, Africa will face considerable uncertainty regarding the effects of warming on local weather patterns and hydrological cycles. For every scenario for greenhouse gas concentration and associated warming, there is considerable uncertainty about the response of precipitation, run-off, groundwater recharge, and so forth. This uncertainty creates formidable challenges for development planning and the design of projects related to water management (irrigation, hydropower, water supply, flood control) and climate-sensitive infrastructure (for example, roads and bridges). Given the threats posed by current climate shocks—and the even greater challenges linked to future climate change—the gap between needs and resource flows needed to scale up the continent’s resilience to an increasingly hostile climate is alarming. Current levels of funding for adaptation in Africa are estimated to be on the order of $3 billion a year.

Recently, I had a Consultancy with Tropical Biology Association (TBA)-UK, Nairobi based HQ, as Women Coordinator for West Africa Conservations Hotspots of Five countries of Liberia, Ghana, Cameroon, Sierra Leone and Nigeria, with women led-NGOs on biodiversity/environment conservations. I also was a National Consultant on Revision of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC), for Liberia to the Paris Agreement 2015, for climate change Management in 2020-2021 and included the views of Gender (women and Youth, other groups).I have been very active in community projects in Liberia, working with various USAID-Projects (2015-2016) in areas of nutrition, peace building, Environment conversations, biodiversity conversations and climate change management, actively participated in the empowerment of women, in helping the rural illiterate communities in agribusiness enterprises development, agro-forestry activities. I was awarded best employee for Quarter of 2017 by USAID-FIFES, Liberia. Obtained an award for Best Change Agent Intern-M&E, USAID-Liberia strategic Alliance in 2016. I also attended COP23 (2017), in Bonn-Germany as the only Youth Delegate from Liberia, and represented the Women’s group during the press conference live before the World. I also attended a Global South Fellowship sponsored by UNODA-in Addis Ababa,Ethiopia in 2016. Actively volunteered with the student’s only NGO, KRITERION-Monrovia (2013-2017), to involve youth and created awareness on household incomes, dramatized for peace and development, sanitation issues, environment and was very active during the Ebola epidemic in Liberia, with great success. As a role model in encouraging girls/youth to study to minimize the burdens of teenage pregnancies, child marriages, maternal mortality for peace, a more empowered women leader, safe environment. I am very passionate about environment and biodiversity conservations for sustainability.Together we will manage to change our environment for the better. Working in good relationship with several local NGOs in Liberia on Climate change management projects to include the Youth in actual practice.	Currently, I am working with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),Liberia on Monrovia City project on coastal climate change mitigation in communities in coastal areas, youth and women to strengthen their mitigation skills. I have also been aa Women Coordinator for TBA for five countries of West Africa on conservation hotspots to train women, Youth on environment and climate change mitigation measurers. Together with other local NGOs in Liberia, I am helping to equip youth, to train women, men, on environment and especially those in rural areas. Being a former youth delegate to COP23-2017, I would like to strongly help create an awareness raising campaigns to ensure that youth are very well reached out to on issues of climate change mitigation, as the Youth are the future leaders of the world and more so the impacts of climate change affects Youth, women, ad men a like. I will want to acquire skills from the Forum, share my personal experiences of youth involvement since my college times, on volunteerism as a powerful tool to engage youth to become change makers in this global fight for climate change mitigation. This will also help me bench mark and return to train my team and colleagues at the national level, to ensure that Youth become very aware of the dangers climate change poses to the world and take up shared responsibilities for its mitigation measurers in various parts of the world. I will further want to advocate for countries to make Policies that include Youth in their climate change mitigations for sustainability. And I will also be able to become an alumni of the Forum and reconnect with all delegates to ensure that we will be able to share experiences nd make follow ups on youth activities in all our countries, like I currently do with YOUNGO Youth Group from COP23-2017-BONN.
1990	Laurine	Musoki	EASTERN AND SOUTHERN AFRICA SMALL SCALE FARMER’S FORUM(ESAFF)UGANDA	www.esaffuganda.org	My name is Laurine Musoki a Ugandan by Nationality aged 25. I am a graduate of Bachelors degree in Adult and Community Education. I am a first child of 3children to my Mum and a last child of 8children to my Dad. The fact that my dad I was not staying with my mum it made me abit feel bad because of the fact that my step mum and my step sisters didn’t like me that much. I remember how unfairly they used to treat me while at school. The worst thing was all the lies they imposed on me to my dad just so that I can be changed from that school which later became a success to them. So I joined another school where I realized my passion for music but ofcourse I couldn’t do anything about it because my parents were strict parents. I went to school, studied, graduated and made my parents proud.😊💃 I was retained as a Volunteer at the organization I did my internship from(ESAFF Uganda) and it’s where I still work. I run an online market application for organic products from small scale farmers called KilimoMart Shop.	I work with organic small scale farmers whose main challenge is climate change affecting them in production. Climate affects nearly every aspect of farmer’s lives, from food sources to transport infrastructure, from what clothes they wear, to where they go on holiday. It has a huge effect on their livelihoods, their health, and their future. Climate is the long-term pattern of weather conditions in any particular place. Climate change is affecting agriculture by interfering with the efficiency of crop production. Agriculture is facing droughts, flooding, sea level elevations, natural disasters, and health hazards for employees. All of these exponents lead to crop failure that creates famines and food prices to rise. As an ACMI Youth Forum delegate I want to sensitize farmers to understand and address the impacts of the climate crisis, empowering them with the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes needed to act as agents of change.
1991	Sohaila	Masoud			My name is Sohaila Mohamed Masoud ,21 years old ,from Egypt ,I study civil Engineering.	I am so interested in the climate change ,and decreasing the pollution by replace cement in plain and reinforced concrete with concrete mixed with plant fibres,it can be used to enhance existing buildings. They are a good and sustainable solution because they are made of materials that have little impact on the environment .
1992	Effort N	Dube	Zimbabwe Environmental Law Association	www.zela.org	I am a legal practitioner practicing as a Bertha Justice Fellow with the Zimbabwe Environmental Law Association an organisation which acts as a watchdog for environmental protection with a focus on extractives and climate change as some of its core focus. I also sit in the Zvandiri Board an organisation which targets assisting youths and children. I have been active in the environmental protection for the past two years and been heavily involved in the community engagements and conducting community trainings on climate change. In addition to the above, I have also been taking part in the climate change litigation cases and trainings.	At some point in my career development it has crossed my mind that maybe i should not tie myself to one country and search for greener pastures in other countries. This comes from the devastating economic conditions for a young professional like myself which has been worsened by climate change induced. The search for greener pastures disturbs the progress in the career development. I am moved to advocate for youth climate justice, to ensure that every young person gets to pursue their career path without the need to move as a result of strained opportunities and climate change impacts.
1993	Krystel	Sil Sikana	YOUNGO	http://www.youngo.uno/	Krystel Sil Sikana provides project management support and consultancy on EU-AU projects. Via her function as PM at the Africa Diaspora Youth Initiative (initiative launched by the AU permanent mission to the EU) and YOUNGO’s contact point for the Climate & Migration working group she has worked on thematic that relates to climate security, circular economy, entrepreneurship and youth leadership that have carried her to high-level consultations in EU-AU policy fields, and successfully moving decision-makers. Krystel is an Entrepreneur enthusiast, she co-founded 1.2 Diaries, platform centring voices and expertise from the Global South. Their aim is to put African voices in debates and policymaking concerning the Green Movement and the climate-conflict-migration nexus. Krystel has also been awarded by the Tony Elumelu Foundation for her Start-up CUBE which works towards advancing equity in science-education in Africa. Krystel earned a degree in Environmental Chemistry from Odisee x KU Leuven and is currently specialising as Environmental Researcher at the Open Universiteit of the Netherlands.	At present, most migrants are young adults while only one in eight migrants and half of the world’s refugees are minors. In Africa, the ongoing climate crisis will amplify the root causes of migration, forcing more youths to migrate due to insecurity, conflicts, competition for ressources and lack of opportunities. Despite human mobility in Africa has been key in driving sustainability and resilience, nowadays it's being looked at as a threat. How climate affects migrants, conflicts, Migrants rights has long been overlooked within the climate debate and been a weak spot for many countries (and international community). The lack of understanding of people on the move, their needs and underrepresentation within the climate debate need desperately to be addressed. Me joining the GCA youth advisory panel I consider it to be an opportunity to take up the space and deconstruct negative perceptions of Africans migrating by sharing and bringing light on contextual realities through testimonies collected through my work, research-based knowledge. Through this opportunity I hope for the knowledge I have acquired so far through my exchanges on the ground (evidence collected in Namibia, Gambia, Uganda, Kenya, Senegal) to influence debates and policies, as well as represent people on the move in Africa. Experience: * Helped the AU Permanent Mission to the EU to mobilize diaspora youth around Agenda 2063, now called the AU Diaspora Youth Initiative. My work consisted mainly of: ➢ Design and roll out the flagship project “Silencing the guns”. The project started with the Executive Team wanting to draw attention to the AU 2020 Theme of the Year and shifted this idea to a purpose-driven campaign that empowers diaspora youth to become ambassadors for peace and security in Africa. I convened a group of 10 youth ambassadors, organized weekly workshops by experts from Africa and Europe, and led the working group participants to formulate their advocacy goals, priorities and strategies. Freelance researcher and Founder of 1.2 Diaries, documenting lived experiences and knowledge from the frontlines of the climate crisis from the Global South to raise awareness, decolonize knowledge and policy, and mobilize action against the climate crisis in Africa. Conducting research on the Climate-Migration-Conflict Nexus and the Green Movement in in Kenya, Uganda, Namibia, Senegal and Gambia. Currently the contact point for the climate and working group at YOUNGO, whilst the working group has been officially operational since June, we have successfully contributed to the organisation of the Kampala Regional conference on climate and migration, facilitated workshop and developed youth statement to be addressed at the conference (in partnership with IOM, Chatham House and RCC Kampala). We also contributed to the Global Youth Statement and are Currently working on activities for COP27 & COY17, as well as to create a space for francophones to contribute to the climate & migration debate through a think thank, to provide research report and develop good practices for migrants inclusion at EU-Moroccan borders. Least but not least a educative program on climate & migration is currently being developed in order to build capacity of YOUNGO members on the thematic.
1994	Brian	Owino	Kilimo Sasa Initiative	https://kilimosasa.org/	My name is Brian Owino, an active leader in climate space. I hold bachelor’s in environmental sciences and master’s in environmental policy. I am a passionate about climate action. I currently represent Kenyan Youth in the Global Young Greens Economy Working Group, since 2020, driving a contribution to policy paper presented to the Green Federation Delegation in 2022. I was also a delegate speaker at the Africa Youth SDGs summit in Ethiopia in March 2022. I spoke in the role of youth in climate action and pathway to COP27. Since 2009, I have been molded towards my future leadership, prepared to take actions to address climate challenges. At the age of 14, I was elected as the school captain, participated in agroforestry training by the Green Earth of Sweden, a green project for primary schools in Homabay County, Kenya. Through my leadership, I convened my schoolmates to plant over 2,000 trees in schools nearby. I was awarded a certificate for this exemplary performance at tender age. The agroforestry projects led to self-actualization and realizing my potential to improve my leadership skills and impact the community. In 2011-2014; I initiated establishment of environmental club in the school to participate in the environmental activities involving tree planting and essay competitions. In 2015, I was nominated degree program representative at Kenyatta University, and later in 2017, elected Congress School of Environmental Studies to the Kenyatta University Students Association on merits of good leadership performance. In the Student council, I coordinated planting of over 10,000 trees in partnership with school administration. Additionally, I established collaboration which led to funding of green week events to bring forth youth engagement in matters of conservation by the UN Environment Programme. In 2017, I volunteered with the Organization for African Youth, leading sensitizing of upto 1,000, 000 youth in governance. In 2018, I was elected under the umbrella of 25 universities in Kenya as the coordinator of Kenya-Inter-University Environmental Students Association to coordinate projects of the association. I chaired the committee meetings for pre-COP25 sessions involving dialogue for over 2,000 students attending climate events. Concretely delivered on the roles and opportunities for youths in climate action. In March 2019, I founded my organization Kilimo Sasa Initiative supported by Melinda Gates foundation. So far implemented climate resilience project to impact 2,000 lives in Kajiado and Makueni Counties focusing on climate smart agriculture. My objective was zero hunger in arid and semi-arid regions of Kenya. ASALs accounts for 80% of Kenyan landmass hosting over 10 million people. The project has employed 6 young minds and continues to build impact with the latest financing received from MasterCard foundation. In 2020 I actively participated in update of Kenyas’ Nationally Determined Contribution. In 2022, I was nominated to sit in the Africa Climate Change Initiative coordinate by Africa Leadership Academy where I also spoke on role of youth in climate resilience building.	I am absolutely impressed with the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative to bring forth the voices of young people to the COP27. This is, a core proof of commitment to support inclusive climate action. This is a noble mission that I am applying for a consideration to be part of as youth delegate from the global south with clear understanding to climate challenges in the African continent and globally. I understand the goal of this program and I bring a voice in areas not limited to youth engagement, loss and damage, climate finance needs, adaptation, mitigation and inclusion of indigenous people in decision making. My continuous stewardship for climate action forms the backbone for which I submit my application for consideration as a delegate. I am a specialist in climate change with a versatile leadership, bold voice, knowledge in all climate change aspects as a salient area of international development. As a delegate I bring exposure from high level dialogue to local context as well. In 2021, I worked with the International Energy Agency analyzing investments needed to accelerate energy access and transitions in Africa resulting into award of advisory role for the $8.5billion fund for a just transition in South Africa. I also supported data analysis for World Energy Outlook 2021, Africa Energy Outlook 2022, and Horn of Africa Clean Energy Transitions Report 2022, I thus understand the climate gaps in the continent and needed actions by all stakeholders. Additionally, I understand the UN, processes having worked at UNHR and volunteered at UNDP. At UNHCR, I worked at the Green Financing Facility, a $60 million green investment fund, supporting climate actions through investments in clean energy transitions targeting displacement settings in Africa, Middle East and Europe. Lastly, joining the COP27 in Egypt will be a great opportunity I highly welcome as ACMI delegate to bring ideas and conversations an advancing climate action in areas that it is needed the most. I am available via brian.owino@sciences.fr to provide further information as you may require for selection process. Thank you for your consideration.

I am 20 years old. I am a youth advocate and a volunteer with the Youth Action Movement of Ghana and SheDecides Ghana. I am a female barber and a poet. I love to advocate for the voiceless through poetry as well. I have keen interest in helping and serving as the voice of voiceless young people and the vulnerable women in society. I grasp youth opportunities like the ACMI to learn, unlearn and contribute to sustainable development in my country and beyond. Thank you.	Personally, I feel very heartbroken, sad and very guilty anytime stories of refugees and migrants are seen and shared and the cause of their hardship and unsustainability is invariably climate change. Much cannot be said here but, I just do not feel very happy seeing a lot of people especially, young people, women and children dejected, neglected and displaced due to nature occurrences like climate change. As an advocate, I know that climate mobility can contribute to discomforts, school dropout, termination of future ambitious, sexual and gender based violence and many more. For these reasons, I have this incessant desire to learn more about climate mobility and learn the strategies that myself and other young people can adopt to help victims of climate mobility. I believe this is the best platform for idea sharing and collective matching into the space of climate mobility to rescue lives. Thank you.

1998	Lebogang	Ralefeta	Old Mutual	https://www.oldmutual.co.za/business/solutions/masisizane	I am a qualified accountant in South Africa and have a distinct passion for economic development through the proliferation of small to medium enterprises. My professional working experience spans just over seven years and having worked across a plethora of sectors within the African continent, I do believe I have a firm appreciation of the deficiencies in our climate response strategies. As consultants within one of the big four professional services firms, we provided advisory services to the Department of Energy on their round four, Independent Power Program bid submissions. I have the discernment of the energy mix around the continent and broadly around the world, from the consulting projects completed as an advisor with the Infrastructure Advisory Practice of my former employer. My current role as an Investment Analyst within a managed fund has a principal focus on investing funds into small to medium enterprises (SMEs) within the South Africa borders. The protracted energy crisis within South Africa has elevated the challenges in funding and supporting these designated entities in their operational mandate. Our fund has strong ESG governance overlays which are aligned with the UN’s climate change themes.	There is no greater honour than representation one’s country, and the African continent in COP27 summit. The opportunity to be a ACMI Youth Forum delegate would accelerate my current efforts as an active investor representing my employer in energy and climate related funding transactions. The scale of climate change solutions is not finite, and every sector of society should be actively collaborating to find solutions which are most feasible per region and country. It is ostensibly clear that COP27 will bring together the sharpest minds representing a plethora of sectors in the global economy and multiple countries with varying degrees of economic maturity. It is for reason that participating as a ACMI Youth Forum delegate will provide a catalytic effect in how I conclude ESG focused funded transactions, and more importantly with how I contribute my expertise at COP27 to build parameters that will give us a more sustainable future to live in. I do have experience evaluating and assessing various forms of energy solutions in the continent, and believe this experience adds a nuanced opinion to the climate mobility conversations at COP27. I anticipate that the COP27 delegates will ventilate the contributions of climate change across all sectors, with some focus on the sectors that have lagged the most in implementing climate friendly business solutions. I do believe my contributions to these conversations will be valuable, having worked across mining, financial services, manufacturing, and retail sectors in my professional career.
1999	Dina	Moawad			I am Dina Moawad, a Ph.D. Candidate in Economics, Advanced MA in Agriculture Political Economy, MA in Development Economics, BA in Economics and Political science. I have worked before in FAO- Rome for 6 months in Climate change. I am also a researcher/storyteller in the Denominator data company. I am working on Climate change and migration as my main fields. I am a member of YOUNGO and participate in our events. The last paper which I am working on is about Climate Change and Migration in Africa with a case study "Uganda" to figure out the effect of Climate change on migration in this country.	Climate Mobility is my main area of research at the moment. I have done research about it in the MENA region with a case study of EGYPT and I am ready to present it if you want. I moved to work in Africa so I am working on the same topic with different criteria in UGANDA. I would like to participate as a delegate with Climate Mobility Center because I think it's the most relevant to what I am doing that's why I can represent it. I can also prepare a policy paper about what I have done so far. We can discuss this in more detail if you would like I am very open to this.

And by looking forward to the latest global developments, most notably the world's interest in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, I was fortunate to have been among those accepted into the Sustainable Development Ambassadors (Pe) initiative. Ambassador) Ministry of Planning and Economic Development. In addition to receiving many trainings in the field of my studies, entrepreneurship and soft skills training.	I would like to share with you my motivation to attend COP 27 Namely, that by virtue of my studies in the field of agricultural production and my knowledge of the latest developments, events and developments in this field of advanced methods of production and the problems facing this field due to external influences, the most important of which is climate change, which in turn acts as an important challenge in the field of agricultural production, in addition to my interest and aspiration for development Sustainable development, of which the goal of climate action is the thirteenth goal of the seventeen goals. Therefore, I am motivated and would like to participate in this conference to share my experiences and learn new theories in achieving this goal through my participation with the rest of the participants in the conference and I consider myself suitable to qualify for this conference because I am among the Accepted in the “kon saferan” initiative of the Ministry of Planning and Economic Development, which the Ministry announced that it has included a sustainable development initiative through the “Initiatives to Accelerate the Achieving Sustainable Development Goals” platform of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), and that my joining this conference will serve me and help me in my goal, which is Spreading awareness and culture of sustainable development in my local community.

She founded the Organisation in 2018 to connect with youth in curbing issues that affect youth on daily basis and climate change seem to be a contributing and connecting factor with a lot of issues on day to day especially in Malawi. Ruth has managed through the Organisation, to establish climate change clubs that have engaged of over 100youths in knowledge on climate change, waste management, tree planting and recycling. She engages youths and challenges them to come with innovative ways to reach out in their communities on what can be done to solve climate change impacts, I.e., energy, and waste. She has managed to work with other local NGOS on climate smart agriculture that help lessen climate change effects	I am applying to attend Cop27 to actively engage, participate, contribute and learn for the deliberations that will happen at this year’s gathering. During COP26 I attended the proceedings virtually through a hub that was set up in Malawi by another Organisation called Malawi Scotland Partnership. During these deliberations I could learn of other opportunities of engagement that could be done through extensive youth, by youth that are having climate change effects while in the process of planning their futures. I would like an an opportunity that puts me in position to contribute my views and that of the youths I represent in the country and region where I am from. I work with youth on a daily basis, we seek to have inclusion with decision makers that will help influence a larger grouping of people through. I believe in the youth being representatives of their communities if I am to attend COP27, I represent the views of over 100youths who represent different communities, and I believe COP27 overall affect each of us, hence I applying to at least get a chance to represent a small fraction of where I am from. I have attended Post COP26 climate discussion locally in Malawi and we engage in action on the keys Issues that youth are to partake on, and we are doing our part because I believe time of action from all angles Is now. I seek to be part of COP27 to participate and represent my fellow youths and I believe in inclusion for all.

Background experience in agriculture It has been noted since when I was in the village that the climate condition always has grate impact on the productivity of our crops, so any factor that can be a threat to climate condition was then discouraged, such as cutting down of trees without replacement etc , as a result of this background knowledge, it is important to maintain a best climatic condition As a graduate who studied forestry and wildlife as a 5 years course from a well recognized institution, this has equiped me with alot of experiences both theoretically and practically on how important of our climate condition is it, afforestation has been taught in school and its importance, forest regeneration which helps in ecosystem restoration and to provide a friendly environment. Students Industrial work Scheme (SIWES), during this period I was able to learn from different area of ecosystem management, nursery preparation, transplanting, tree age determination, ecological survey etc . As AgroAllied CDS group President. globally there are problems of flooding, loss of water bodies, windstorm green house gases which has led to rise in temperature as a result of climate change. Trees planting project was done as led by my administration which was part of our contribution to reduce the effects of climatic change. With this I believe am fit to become an ACMI Youth Forum Delegate for COP27 and with full commitment to contribute more positively toward maintaining our climate and having the opportunity to attend the conference will also add to my experience on how to be involved more

2004	Abimbola	Abikoye	Revamp Rave Network		Abimbola Abikoye holds an advance master’s degree in International Law and Diplomacy from the University of Lagos, Nigeria with a concentration on Climate diplomacy and marine governance. She founded Revamp Rave Network Initiative, a youth-led climate action group in Nigeria set up in 2020 to promote climate change advocacy in local communities, enable more youth for climate-conscious action in their localities through climate education, and provide solutions to waste disposal challenges to protect the small island coastal environments in Nigeria. This birthed her Climate College Hub initiative which has trained 230 young advocates and non-advocate across the world six continents as climate ambassadors to promote a safer environment for all https://bit.ly/3kJnwRO while offering internship scholarship placement to the outstanding participants into various partnering international organisations. Through the cohort’s initiative, she authored “Ecolog: A Quick Guide to the Basics of Climate Change”, a resource material to equip more young people for meaningful and scalable climate action. In the same way, the Kadara Waste Reduction Project https://bit.ly/Emergence2021 was established to foster more local knowledge on climate change crisis while helping vulnerable communities transition into society. Through the project, 2000 residents were impacted out of which 100 forms a part of her Revamp Rave Network’s community local focal points to help build a community of eco-conscious generation. The project earned her a recognition with the then Minister of Environment (state) who recommended her as a part of the Nigerian Youth Delegation at COP26 for her contribution. The steps she has taken as a youth advocate actively involved in Climate Change Advocacy Campaign, Community-based Research and Social Impact Analysis have provided her with numerous opportunities such as her current role a youth advisor to the EU in Nigeria and the ECOWAS on Digital and Green Economy where she advises to influence the internal and external actions of the European Commission with a focus on climate adaptation and community-based initiatives; her consultancy role as an environmental justice research consultant with Henrich Boll Stiftung, where she co-drafted the policy brief on a “Fair-shared City” project that exposed the dilemma of low-income women, displaced by environmental impact to attain environmental justice across Nigeria.

Sometime in 2020; the second year of my research in exploring coastal communities to understand the nature of the changing climate and how it influences these communities, a series of unfortunate events hit the online media after I retired from the day’s journey. I had left two of the communities to prepare an intervention plan to help solve some environmental challenges. First, it was Agoro; a coastal community burning, and then Oko-Alfa has been swept off by a sea surge in Ajah. As the two leading local television stations concurrently aired the news, I was torn between what to do and how swift intervention plans can be deploy given that there were no swift emergency management plans in place for such humanitarian crisis in the entire country to carter for more than 6,000 people who were displaced. I could not help but ask myself what could be done to avoid such crisis or minimise its impact on the newly displaced and against future occurrence. The answer was right in front of me as I looked around sympathising with the residents who have become family on getting to the community after learning of the incident. My answer was to ensure there was a swift emergency management plan in place to help reduce the shocks and stresses of the impact felt; to accommodate the transitioning of these groups through a safe recovery process and afford them the space to be integrated back into the society with no exclusion to participate as active citizens and with no intimidation of any sort. It no news that government cannot solve all the problems as well as having no policy to accommodate this sort of eventualities. Even developed countries faces government deficient much more a developing country. Nevertheless, I understood that the idea of the project cannot help solve the immediate problems as women needed cloth, family’s food and children opportunities to be back in school, I developed as the first phase of the project idea, the Kadara Waste Reduction Project which launch last year in one of the communities. The project partnered with strategic humanitarian organisation deploying the intervention to help solve problems of food, cloth, jobs, health care services for pregnant women and mental health care service for those in need. Under my Revamp Rave Network with the collaboration of my team, we were able to deploy environmental aides in form of education, empowerment and environmental advocacy campaigns to help push further our effort to the general public as well as at local level. Next, we move to government level. Nevertheless, Knowledge must meet capacity for opportunity to be optimise for continuous learning and the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative Youth Forum at COP 27 is one of such opportunities that will not only give me the platform to bring these stories to the world stage and connect with like minds from around the world. But it will broaden my knowledge to scale my impact back home.
2005	Lateefat	Azeez	Act4Food Act4Change	https://actions4food.org/en/	I am a Nutritionist-Dietitian with a versatile persona.I am a public Health enthusiast passionate about youth inclusion in food systems transformation and solving contemporary public health problems using a multisectoral and collaborative approach which means encouraging synergy among the various sectors contributing to the food systems. My experience volunteering with Various organizations has equipped me with various soft skills needed to be effective, Solve problems and stand out. As a volunteer at Act4food Act4change Campaign, I have worked on several projects and outreaches that aim to bring awareness to the issues surrounding the transformation of the food systems. Notable of which is the, UN conference of party (COP 26) , Glasgow, Scotland, UK centered on driving action from all countries to protect and restore ecosystems, build defences, warning systems and resilient infrastructure and agriculture to avoid loss of homes, livelihoods and lives. Others include; the UN food systems dialogue for discussing action on transforming food systems, the Nigerian Agricultural seed council annual seed connect to discuss climate smart agriculture, advocacy campaigns to the National Assembly for consideration and inclusion of the recommendations of the regional, exploratory and National dialogues into the cassava inclusion bill and National food safety bill notable of which is the action track 2 of Boosting nature positive production and climate smart agriculture among many other activities. I have also worked with other organisations such as Impact Nutrition Africa initiative on eradicating malnutrition in all its forms in Nigeria and Africa as a whole. I am passionate about Communications and advocacy, public health policy and research as well as implementation. I am interested in engaging in the field of research and implementation on the humanitarian crisis rocking the northeastern part of my country, Nigeria as well as its effects on food systems. I also look forward to being a part of COP 27	According to the World Food programme, conflict issues in Nigeria and the Lake Chad basin contribute to 54% of the food crisis in Africa making Nigeria the biggest contributor to the food crisis in Africa. The proliferation of non-state armed groups, as well as the uncontrolled rates of migration in the Northeast and Niger basin regions leading to the Farmers-herdsmen clashes pose threats to farming communities and livelihoods especially in the rural areas of North East Nigeria. Climate change is responsible for loss of biodiversity and physical access to resources in the food system, and even though the developed nations contribute the largest to the Greenhouse gas GHG emissions , Africa is the most affected in terms of the severity of climate change effects. The relationship between Climate change and food systems is a Bi-directional one, and as an advocate of food systems transformation, I realize that solving the issues of migration in the lake chad basin as well as climate change is very crucial to transforming the food systems. This has motivated me to apply to become a delegate so that I can interact with other like minded individuals, draw attention to these issues in my country, and find solutions to these issues (especially by involving other young people )plaguing my country

I am an active advocate for climate change and would love to participate as a delegate in the upcoming cop27 as ACMI youth delegate because I believe that participating in the conference will help me in gaining more knowledge on climate change and how we can help our environment because climate change affects everyone no matter where we are and as youth we have to come together to stop climate mobility which has caused a lot of involuntary migration due to how extreme weather have become and I believe it’s high time youths are heard. As an active member and outgoing vice curator of the global shapers community of the World economic forum i plan to launch a campaign on climate change and sustainability and also ways to improve our lives by reducing plastic usage which also need to be addressed because in my community plastics are one of the largest pollutants so I will use the knowledge gained and educate the people in my society and improve the ways of living. During my youth service while working under charity and gender group i have seen people displaced because of a flood which lead them to lose everything and ever since I have had the passion to do something that will atleast make an impact in my society so as to reduce displacement of families and the only way to do that is to be actively involved and I believe becoming a delegate will help me represent my society and people more.

He strives for an enabling environment for equality and quality access to education, SRHR and hygiene services. He also aims at raising awareness and advocating for action on the on climate change mobility and its impacts on children and young people’s education. In his advocacy and influencing work, he works closely with other youth networks like Champions of Change, Peer educators, Girls Get Equal movement, Youth Advisory Panel (YAP) and Children’s Parliament which advocate for children and young people’s concerns/issues. Damien has participated and taken a leading role in many activities both at local and international levels which all give a primary benefit to the general community. Among the many, very few are included below; He is currently in the team for International Day of Girls child taskforce and main event planning at Plan International Malawi. Through UNGEI and Youth4EiE project, Damien was selected to attended UNGA and TES in New York this September. However, due to failure to access travel documents, he has been forced to attend this event online. In august 2022, He attended this year’s Southern African Regional Students and Youth Consortium on Sexual Reproductive Health. In the same months, he led the discussion hosted by Youth4EiE at global level to connect young people advocating for education in emergencies (EiE).

In 2020 as the speaker of Dowa children’s parliament, he led a deliberation which child parliamentarians advocated for a national children’s parliament. In 2021, this dream came true and we saw a National children’s parliament holding its first session at the national chamber after a decade. In February 2020 Damien was part of the team that developed Plan International’s Girls Get Equal Youth-Friendly Campaign Toolkit.	Where I come from in Malawi, we have a lot of issues that are both as a result of human behavior and natural. Climate change related issues have forced many people to move from one place to another. Among other reasons that force a good number of refugees to flee is due to climate related crises like drought famine. I hear this from my friends here in the camp. However, most do not admit this because it sounds embarrassing as they say. In June this year, as the Youth4EiE, we had a consultation with victims of cyclone Ana in Nsanje, Mulanje and Phalombe districts which were heavily affect and almost face one or two climate change related crises every year. We interacted with children in schools, youth clubs, school administration and management among others. The victims shared their experiences of how they are affected. In a case of cyclone or flood, people evacuate to temporary camps. Children narrated stories of how parents go out to search for food while in evacuation camps leaving them alone at the camp. Since they are not going to school and have no supervision, this exposes children to more risk like exploitation and violence as the stay much of their time with the perpetrators of abuse like sexual and emotional abuse. The more they stay out of school, the more they don't develop. First, they have trauma due to the calamity, second they have re-allocated to a new setting with less protection due to climate change mobility and finally they are not going to school which gives assurance and hope for their future. I am motivated to apply for Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum-COP27 Delegate so that I use my skills in campaign, advocacy and influencing to set the agenda for climate mobility on the table by showing how it disturbs the education of children and all other aspects of life to the world leaders. As leaders in humanitarian settings, we commit to do no further harm and this can only be done by ensuring that classes are not disturbed in climate crisis locations because in such times school in its best operation is more than a right to education.

I can easily adopt into various circumstances while making valuable contribution. I am capable of working under minimum supervision with high integrity and applying professional skills through work . I have made a vow to myself that I will ensure that the world becomes a safe place through spreading awareness about the importance of the environment, I have achieved this through various social activities that I have participated in in my community as follows. Started the movement and youth mobilizing on climate changes way back 2019, I have worked with Youth of united nations association (YUNA) since 2020 to date on different youth activities including climate awareness to youth through outreaches. Therefore i worked with ministry of environment in different environment projects such as "MTI WANGU" (My tree) and mobilizing youths organizations to clean oceans beaches every end of the month. climate change is one among the challenges facing human race everyone is responsible for climate change especially youth because we are present and the future of the earth so that i have to come with idea to connect the carrier i am pursuing with the environment and initiate the program called "TANZANIA ENVIRONMENTAL DIPLOMACY" which aimed to restore the awareness to society about the challenges facing environment through diplomacy. I believe in exchanging of ideas and learning new things from different places across the world, through exchanging the experience is where i can learn new things especial in this diverse world.	My motivation for applying is the Thirsty of making the earth the better place for the future , always looking for the platform to get some connected energy across the world to dispense the awareness especial to youth because we are the present and the future of the earth. Also to meet with fellows change makers toward global challenges and discuss the possible solution to tackle the challenges especially climate mobility, through this platform i hope i will acquire different experience from fellows delegates and how they deal with the challenges across the word. therefore exchanging of exposure between delegates create more room for changes in our society to helps to face the existing challenges example climate mobility, through exchanging of ideas and acquiring new knowledge on climate mobility and environment generally increase the possibility to decrease the global challenges especially climate mobility Experience related to climate mobility is my participation in several program affiliated with climate mobility such as engaging on program to bring awareness to society to decrease the behavior that possibly can lead to harm the environment, the programs aimed to harmonize the human activities which are more likely to disturb the nature including desertification where people cut trees for home consumption (charcoal) and for furniture, program aimed to educate the society of using other alternatives of energy consumption such as cooking gas and electrical stoves, Program also encourage the usage of technology as the substitute of many analog activities which lead to climate mobility today example many developed countries starting to use 3D technology to print many objectives eg; furniture materials where at the previous they had to cut tress for furniture. Therefore I participate in different campaigns to lobby the government to implement self imposed policy "the environmental management act of 2004 " including to take a serious actions to the individual and organizations that intentional or unintentional violate the policy
2009	Debora	EDOH	OJEDD International	http://www.ojeddinternational.org/en	Holder of a bachelor's degree in communication specializing in journalism, I am a climate activist and environmentalist serving my Togolese community. With 3 years of experience in the coordination of environmental and social actions through environmental projects, I am a young woman who believes in the engagement of young people in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) especially the fight against climate change. This is why I joined the Organization of Young People Engaged in Sustainable Development (OJEDD) as a communication officer. I am officially part of the YOUNGO work and the AYICC Togo Co-coordinator. I had the chance to participate in the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) revision project submitted by Togo to COP 26. Currently, in partnership with Climate Action Network (CAN) on the Climate Impacts Campaign project, I am carrying out series of videos on the impact of climate change in Togo. This is a project that gives people who are victims of the effects of climate change the opportunity to talk about their experiences and challenge decision-makers on the climate cause. In addition, since January 2022, I have been appointed Climate Ambassador for the Global Youth Climate Network 2022 Max Thabiso Edkins (MTE) Program, a program that brings together young people around the world to reflect on and carry out an individual environmental project at the end of the program.	I am considering being a delegate of the ACMI Youth Forum for COP27 for 4 reasons. Firstly because I am a victim of the effects of climate change, I live in a coastal area in southern Togo (Baguida) which is threatened by coastal erosion, 7 to 10 m per year. So, COP is the place par excellence to express my despair, to plead in the global declaration of change of youth. Then I want to be part of decision-making processes to involve young people in the process of climate change mitigation and adaptation As a young person concerned with sustainable development, I consider that my skills are particularly well suited to participate in COP 27 in Egypt. Already, I have experience in public speaking, advocacy and negotiations. And then, I look forward to learning from other experts and young leaders in order to build my capacity and initiate impact projects in my community for effective change. Finally, my presence is essential to defend, express our experiences and seek funding for my community project. The alarm call is loud and deserves to be heard.

2011	Chukwuma	Paul	Loss and Damage Youth Coalition	https://ldyouth.org/about/	My name is Paul Chukwuma, and I reside in Kigali. I am a MasterCard scholar at the African Leadership University In Rwanda. I currently live in Kigali. Hence, I founded the Climate change leaders hub in my school, a community to foster collaboration and aid the sharing of opportunities related to climate change and provide technical support to help youths maximize these opportunities. This initiative has impacted over 50 people in the last three months. I was the national coordinator for ClimateScience in Rwanda. During this period, we mapped over 20 high schools in Kigali with over 3000 students, which would enable ClimateScience to deliver climate change education to these students. Also, I was selected to be a part of the Operation and facilitation team at the UNEP MGYC in January 2022. Also, I was a part of the coordinating team at the SDG7 Youth constituency. I am also a coordinator at the Loss and Damage Youth Coalition. I lead the communications team, which has developed messages on climate change-induced loss and damage that have been seen over 300,000 times on our official social media platforms. I have also supported the training of over 200 youths this year on loss and damage. As a coordinator at the coalition, I have presented on Loss and Damage to different audiences and provided ground knowledge on Loss and Damage to hundreds of youths during these presentations. As an SDG innovator, I have developed innovative solutions across various sectors. In 2021 my team and I developed a solution called Ubuzima privacy that will help hospitals in Rwanda go paperless and provide improved health services to patients. We won the PMI competition, which involved over 5000 participants worldwide. I am also working on EnergyGo, a Fintech startup that will help Rwanda transit to the electric motorcycle before 2030, impacting over 30,000 drivers in Kigali alone. Finally, I am one of the 10 youths that make up the Loss and Damage Grant board formed by Climate Justice Resilience Fund to select 11 organizations addressing Loss and Damage In their local communities and help distribute a total of $150,000 to enhance their work. As a result I am the official youth climate change voice for Rwanda at the LDC5 conference in Qatar next year. Having been a youth delegate at the UNEA 5.2, Youth General assembly, MENA climate week, and Africa Climate Week.	My direct contribution to climate mobility resulted from my role as a board member for the Loss and Damage Fund. The fund will support communities, including residents moving voluntarily or forcefully. The support will help these residents recover from the damages caused by climate change in these communities. The number of people that might benefit from the fund is not currently known but is estimated to be from 100 - 1000 persons. I believe my participation at COP27 will help me add my voice to the youths' global action on loss and damage at COP27. Also, I am a coordinator at the Loss and Damage Youth Coalition with over 1000 youths. Having interacted with these youths from 40+ countries within the past few months, I am confident that I can provide a diverse and rich perspective to the conversations on Loss and Damage at COp27. So this will be an opportunity to advocate for these youths and amplify their needs and demands.
2012	Shalon	Wanjiru	Safe Dada	Our website will be up soon	My name is Shalon Wanjiru , I am a Kenyan citizen by birth. I am currently a volunteer with Safe Dada-Kenya , a small but growing community of volunteers that I founded this year in January. We strive to make our society knowledgeable about issues affecting our society, and through various diverse mentorship programs we get to involve both the society in finding and implementing solutions in regard to GBV, sexual abuse, child abuse, climate change & global warming, mental health awareness, FGM etc. Throughout my childhood, I always found ways of identifying issues around me and involving any help possible to try and get a good solution. I am glad that as an adult I am now able to execute some of the dreams I had envisioned as in regard to making an impact and change in our society. My passion is fueled by the fulfillment of making an impact no matter how small it is, whether recognized or not. After I finished high school, I gathered a few friends and relatives and we would mentor children about identity issues and crisis, so that they can have positive guided influence in the decisions they make as they grow up. In 2012, I was able to join my mentor, Isaac Mwangi Founder of Marafiki community and Voluntours, i started with participating in programs that had been set up for the now settled internally displaced people at maimahiu. The organization also built a school and I was part of the team enrolling children to school, and worked on some data entry tasks for the school. Through the diverse needs of society, I have participated in visiting children homes, mentoring teens and young adults, planting trees, educating different audiences about climate change, global warming and mental health. In 2016, I started an online platform on facebook “IT'S NOT OVER YET COMMUNITY” as part of mental health awareness, giving people a forum where they can reach out when they feel overwhelmed or when they need professional counseling services with no charges. At the end of 2017, i happened to travel to my upcountry home after a long while and i was shocked and disappointed to find a different scenery as so many trees had been cut, the vast green vegetation had started to dry, the streams and rivers that used to be so full of life had little to no water. I immediately gathered my family members and relatives owning the lands to which were a part of the devastating change, we bought seedlings and started planting trees. Through Safe Dada, I have started a recycling campaign, which involves collection of plastic and glass bottles, some are turned into decoration pieces for both outdoor and indoor spaces, the rest I send to my mentor at voluntours which are used to build beautiful safari cabins for tourists in the maasai mara. As I grow older, I hope to make more sustainable impacts in finding dignified and long lasting solutions to issues affecting my society.	The issue of climate change is a global crisis that we cannot afford to ignore. Regardless of your age, young or old, whether you live in Asia, Africa, America or Europe, even your socio-economic status rich or poor as long as you are part of this earth, climate change has or will have repercussions that affect our lives. Our entire future and for the generations to come is critically dependent on what we do or not do today to mitigate and find sustainable solutions in regard to climate change. Most of us have already started to experience catastrophic extreme weather conditions. Hundreds of Kenyans are affected by drought, people are dying,others are struggling to survive, and not forgetting their livestock that keeps depleting in a devastating way as it is their livelihood. Many have been forced to relocate. Recently here in Kenya it is becoming common to experience or hear of wildlife animals, escaping the wild and national reserves and ending up in residential areas as they look for food, water and even shelter as they are experiencing extreme and harsh conditions in their natural habitats. In 2016, I was living in area called Ongata Rongai, one night on my way home from work as i was about to enter the gate of my apartment, I saw some animal figure watching me in a bush close by and another on one of the tree branches above the bush, I hurriedly opened the gate and went to one of the balconies to confirm what I had seen, I saw an animal that resembled a leopard and a little cub,i immediately knew that the rumors i had heard over the last few weeks could actually be true. Several wildlife have spotted roaming especially at night, a lion had actually been caught and returned to the national reserve, people were finding their goats attacked by what they could only describe as a leopard. On several nights, the sounds of close by hyenas became more frequent. I finally made the decision to move when I heard that there was a man who was attacked at night on his way home. On the night of 30th September 2022, an elephant was caught by a CCTV camera belonging to one of the houses in my neighborhood, and there are similar cases of wildlife being spotted in many other places seriously highlighting the consequences of climate change. Climate change has impacted the stability of many living creatures in a very vulnerable way, the news about floods has become a “normal” scenario, many people are relocating, losing their lives and others are losing their homes. Wildfires have also become more problematic than before. In addition, there are many animals becoming part of the extinct animals list. I am looking forward to being part of the ACMI youth forum-COP27 delegate, not only to represent my country but to also possibly learn new concepts and strategies that can help mitigate climate change and climate change mobility.

Currently I am pursuing a PhD on water security in Internally Displaced Person’s camps focusing on floods and droughts in Sub-Saharan Africa. With South Sudan, Ethiopia, Nigeria and Somalia as cases. I work with Deltares research institute and the United Nations University, both of which are involved with the future of climate mobility especially in Africa and therefore, encouraging more my participation in this process. My work is very closely linked with climate mobility as floods and droughts frequency, intensity and magnitude will be magnified by climate change. I am a member of various youth groups through which we often discuss the agenda of the ACMI. Therefore, I appreciate this opportunity to learn more on the way forward of ACMI from COP 27 and what the role of both youth and women, groups I am part of can contribute to this agenda.	I have been fortunate enough to participate in the ACMI consolation sessions with other African youth and other researchers. There I learned that the ACMI seeks to support the African continent in addressing climate-forced displacement and migration by utilizing climate mobility to advance its development agenda and further its economic & political integration. I believe I am a good agent of change able to contribute to the formulation of the common policy agenda, and resources to advance comprehensive and locally anchored solutions for climate mobility as it is the priority of the ACMI. During the ninth world water forum in Dakar I attended a session of ACMI which was insightful in the contribution of youth in shaping the future of the African continent treating climate mobility as an opportunity to adapt to climate change instead of a treat. Therefore, by attending COP 27 I envision to learn more, network with other stakeholders and ensure the target of ACMI of knowledge generation, advocacy and the implementation of the Agenda for Action beyond COP27.
2014	archile Kokou Elolo	FINI	IAAS International Association of students in Agricultural and related Sciences	https://iaasworld.org/	I respond to the name of FINI archile kokou elolo. I obtained a bachelor's degree in agronomic sciences at the University of Lomé and I am preparing for a master's degree in corporate social responsibility. I was an intern at WAVE (West African Virus Epidemiology) where I studied adaptation of 23 varieties of cassava to the climatechanges for food security. I am currently doing an internship in the National Agency for the fight against climate change in my country. I have written a recommendation that I will present with my team at COP 27 and also present a technology for monitoring reforested plants that I have developed myself. I am part of a large network of young agricultural students. This is the international association of agricultural students. At the University of Lomé, within the association, I am the head of the environmental protection and restoration department. I coordinated a reforestation project in the North East of my country in order to restore degraded biodiversity there by 2021. I was co-pilot of a project to create a protected area in two regions of my country in 2020. Also in 2020, I trained farmers from 3 villages in my country on soil conservation techniques to finally adapt to the effects of climate change. In 2019 I participated in the international conference of young people in agriculture for the fight against climate change organized in bohn. I participated in all the adaptation workshops in the face of climate change organized by the FAO in collaboration with YONGO. I am part of the YOUNGO network and the GBYN Network for the protection of biodiversity. I really want to participate in this COP 27 which is being held in Africa or at home. I want to bring my voice for solutions to the crisis especially in Africa	I am currently participating in the 1 month training organized by YOUNGO and IAAS on agricultural and food policy. We are working on the KJWOA (KORONIVIA joint work on agriculture).i am part of the Weekeco commission that organized a meeting between 150 young Africans. we have together developed recommendations that I intend to present at COP 22.I have been selected to participate in the RCOY in South Africa from October 14 to 16 to develop a recommendation that will be presented at COP 27.in my country, I am coordinating a project in collaboration with the Ministry of the Environment. it is a question of reforestation of 10,000 hectares in the north of the country. we have already done 2000 hectares and the project continues being an agronomist, I am called upon to solve the problems facing the world's farmers. Today, agriculture is really confronted with the effects of climate change and this affects global food security. This is what sparked in me the desire to get involved in the fight against climate change. So I am elected to the position of Vice President in charge of the protection and restoration of the environment at IAAS-University of Lomé. I coordinated a lot of projects to fight climate change and protect the environment. I aroused in the members of the association the desire to commit to the climate cause. I want to do more, I also want to carry my voice in decision-making at the COP and other events, I want to be involved as young people in political decisions that must take into account the survival of humanity . I want to be part of the young actors of development. YOUNGO is a network that will propel me to achieve these goals.

Dear ACMI team, With this letter I hereby would like to state my motivation to be a member of “ACMI Youth Forum Delegate for COP 27“ facilitating by Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) in Egypt. The conference is especially relevant to my professional expertise, and therefore I would high appreciate to be given an opportunity to attend this event gathering professional from all over the World. As a special added value of this event, I find the opportunity to network with other professional from the World, which is an exceptional opportunity for horizontal exchange of experience. I perceive this also as an occasion to familiarize with good practices as a channel for my personal development. As we Know, Climate change is a truly global challenge. It will impact all ecosystems and human societies, but in different ways and to different degrees. Somalia is one of the poorest and most fragile countries in the world. Poverty in Somalia is severe and Climate plays a key role for Somalia’s economy and livelihoods as its economy is predominated by agricultural activities. Historical climate data indicates that 2017 is the fourth consecutive year of below-average harvests for the Somali agriculture sector. According to Somalia’s National Adaptation Program of Action, droughts and floods pose the most severe hazards to the country. For the water sector, declining ground water levels drive up water prices and increase the likelihood of a conflict over water. As requested in Call for Application I am forwarding you a accept my participation in this event. Furthermore, I am using this opportunity to express my willingness to participate to cope27. I am confident that my qualifications, skills and past working experiences are relevant to the requirements of the positions and I believe I can make significant contributions to the continued success of environmental activities in Somalia. Sincerely, Ali Farah Abdullahi
2016	Alexandra	Azevedo	University of Cape Town	https://www.uct.ac.za/	I have had an immense passion for wildlife since a young age and have taken every opportunity I have been given to study it further. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Environmental Earth Science and Sustainability. I went on further to get my master’s degree in Applied Marine Biology. I am currently working on publishing my work from my master’s which is a descriptive based study on Raja straeleni, the most abundant skate in southern Africa. I also was a member of the Southern Ocean Carbon Heat Impact on Climate (SO-CHIC) team in Antarctica earlier this year studying how the top layer of the ocean interacts with the atmosphere, which is essential for using climate models to predict future changes. Even though I would prefer to be studying animals and learning more about them and their behaviors, I know to protect them in the future I must divert my attention and time to stop the largest threat the modern world has seen, which is climate change. I know that I am a great scientific communicator, which means I can communicate to scientific and non-scientific audiences, and I must use my background as someone who has dedicated their life to the environment to fight for the land, ocean and animals that need protection.	As an ACMI Youth Forum delegate, I would bring the knowledge I gained at COP27 back to my community in Cape Town, South Africa, and I would continue to mobilize other youth to demand an end to South Africa’s reliance on fossil fuels. The country has experienced record breaking “loadshedding” this year, which are rolling blackouts caused by an insufficient amount of electricity on the grid. The future for the country is to convert to clean energy by the means of solar, wind, and hydroelectric. I would like to learn from other’s what they are doing in their countries to facilitate urgent change, so that I could bring that back with me. I have participated in the United Nations Ocean Conference Youth Innovation Forum, and the United Nations Ocean Conference and gained meaningful experience working with youth from all over the world, and I know that international collaboration with youth is a way to demand governments and policy makers take actions against corporations to limit their CO2 emissions. I am a founding member of Sustainable Ocean Alliance’s hub in South Africa, and if we had a delegate represented at COP27, we could gain knowledge on how to use our time and efforts most effectively to lower CO2 emissions.

For this I created an environment blog to be able to protect it by raising awareness. I write articles on the environment. The articles focus on the benefits of our mother nature but also the problems they face due to different human activities. I created a club Green Hand In the Green Hand club we did: - The training of young people on the protection of the environment through games, films or documentaries - The creation of environmental clubs in the different schools - Activities to protect the environment were organized such as the installation of garbage cans in public places - The celebration of days dedicated to the environment by organizing competitions on environmental themes Now I work in the Hyacinth Art House which transforms the Jacynthe of water into an art object. In this house we work much more on the protection of surface waters including Lake Tanganyika which is matured by this species.

Then my knowledge increased when I moved this year to Alexandria I participated in the Alexandria Future Conference and Climate Challenges, and because of its serious effects on tourism. Some beaches have disappeared other than affecting agricultural and other activities, and because of their negative effects. We hope to participate in this conference to contribute to what we can spread awareness of this issue among everyone, and that the coming periods will be this The focus of scientific research and the beginning of the spotlight by emerging companies to serve the community and reduce the impact of climate change
2020	Truphena	Muthoni	Kisumu Environmental Champions	https://kec.rahminapaullete.com/?s=09	My name is Truphena Muthoni . I am a 20 years old climate activist ,Kenyan Scout , award winning eco warrior ,art for environment champion , Let Lake Victoria Breathe Again crusader at Kisumu Environmental Champions , brand ambassador to Rotaract club of eco warriors and founder Trees Of Life. I consider myself a multipotentialite , I have so many callings and I will pursue them all. Basically, I am a performing artist though I don't think of myself as an entertainer but rather an educator .I am interested in expression, delivery and impression through art . I have done several short courses since I left high school ,such as Plastic Tide Turner , Introductory Training course and Preliminary Training course from the Leadership academy of the Kenya Scout Association . I was born and raised in Kajiado ,Kenya to indigenous parents , mixture of Kenya Kikuyu -Maasai ,who later relocated to Nairobi ,Kenya in the year 2007.My parents are both artists, my father a producer and song writer ,my mother a vocalist from a family of soldiers . I evolved around concept, art and data .I hope my whole life will be absorbed in this kind of creativity Conservation is prevention of wasteful use of a resource. The greatest conservationist has a capability to be innovative in compelling and inspiring action while communicating ideas and powerful Intel, especially through performance to everyday audience. In my own evaluation, the reigning titlist inspires others to take action to be better and to think beyond their environment. While most may never be interested to check an environment gallery or read an environmental article, I believe art is the greatest communicator because many if not all of us would listen and appreciate any form of performing arts ,that's why I shifted my Focus into art for environment to create climate change awareness. Doing art for environment has taken me places I never dreamed I would be and has put me in a position to have a one on one conversation with the who's and who's of the world and a whole range of interesting individuals . This conversations have helped open my mind and spirit. I believe in the society and society building ,my creative life extends to work in community development , especially nature based projects . Through my passion for the environment and conservation, I founded Trees Of Life project which commands locally led climate action . The idea targets to give hope to the bereaved that their deceased person's life is still living on in the tree to recreate a divine reconnection with the departed souls. This encourages a wide range of people to plant trees during burial and memorial ceremonies and at the same time addressing climate crisis . As a climate activist, I have represented my organization , Kisumu Environmental champions in so many high profile conferences spreading our hash tag ,Let Lake Victoria Breathe Again campaign , giving others the opportunity to embrace and appreciate who as Kisumu Environmental Champions are as a people tied to a course .	I'm motivated by my strong desire to be moulded into a young leader who entirely understand people's interest at heart and carries the burden of those badly mistreated and discriminated by different forces of nature in the society , those who are badly affected by climate abuses . I would also love to be expounded on climate justice and be given a platform to voice my concern and express my ideas,opinions provide information to leaders making decisions that affect our lives . Climate change is already having negative impacts on food security and rural livelihoods increasing the vulnerability of rural populations in my region. Being a delegate at Cop 27 would give me a life time experience to evaluate how this team is capable of delivering the magic the world is looking forward to as opposed to the cop 26 that happened at Glasgow , United Kingdom. I would discuss and make sure we're prepared to deliver all commitments made .This will be a significant test to all of us . The cop brings together Youth from regions most affected by climate change ,including middle East ,North Africa, Sub Saharan Africa , Latin America, the Caribbean ,South East Asia and Pacific ,building a global south agenda that adds mounting pressure for leaders involved in COP and beyond to prioritize urgent climate advances . My objective has always been joining the list of the reigning titlists to encourage other impacful minds to keep on crafting and pull those who lag behind to ensure no one is left behind .

2022	Venessa	Ominde	Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology	http://www.jkuat.ac.ke	I am a BSc Renewable Energy and Environmental Physics student at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology in my third year of the program. I am one of the pioneers of the JKUAT Association of Green Energy focused on matters to do with climate action and sustainable energy technologies and practices. I am in Juja, Kiambu county to pursue my passion in environmental conservation and to expand my knowledge in climate resilience and clean energy technologies. I come from a background of farmers who are feeling the pinch of climate change especially with the unpredictable rainfall patterns. So far, there has been a lot of hunger in Vihiga due to reduction in food production in the area. I would like to take part in initiatives that will reduce and ultimately stop the climate change.	Climate change is already occurring and its adverse effects are already being felt. The recent occurrence of Hurricane Ian has left Cubans in a lot of turmoil. The hurricane is indeed a result of the changing climate. Climate action should be exerted and the youth should be involved in fora that make the decisions. I would like to be part of these fora since I believe that I can influence my peers to work towards a sustainable future
2023	Claude Evny	MAGANGA MOUSSADJI	Muyissi Environment NGO	None	I am Claude Evny MAGANGA MOUSSADJI. I am Gabonese and I am 26 years old. I live at Mouila, in the Ngounie province. It's localised in the center-south of Gabon. I did all my studies in Gabon. And today I graduated with a Master 2 in Geography specialized in issues of regional integration, cross-border security and cooperation. For two years now, I have started laying the foundations of my sewing business. The opportunity was for me to make COVID protective masks to a bank structure during the whole current 2021. From this experience, I remember the satisfaction of mom customer who did not hesitate to contact me again at the beginning of 2022. However, in February 2022, I began my immersion in the world of CSOs by joining a local NGO called "Muyissi Environnement" based in Mouila, in the Ngounie province in Gabon. This NGO that campaigns for the protection of the environment and the interests of local communities has shaped in me a new vision of life. It has also created, and continues to create, an activist spirit. By going to the field, I learned to go beyond concepts, to combine concepts and reality on the ground and especially to better understand the difficulties that communities face on a daily basis in the face of pollution, environmental degradation and climate change.	When I joined the team of the NGO Muyissi Environnement, I was affiliated with climate actions. I was then entrusted with the follow-up of a project entitled "Strengthening climate actions in the cities of Mouila and Mayumba victims of the impacts related to climate change". With one of my colleagues, we had to make two trips to Mayumba. The first trip, which took place in April, was to follow up on a statement drafted by the communities of the Upper and Lower Banio against the Grande Mayumba project in Nyanga province, a nature-based solution project. (Written and addressed to the prefect of lower Banio in November 2021). The second trip in July was to carry out a beach clean-up activity in Mayumba with another NGO, "Vie et Agir Pour l'Environnement". I also attended the Chatham House meeting on green finance in Africa on July 21, 2022 in Gabon. My last climate movement was my participation in the African Climate Week 2022. Being affiliated with actions, I am curious about actions and events around this topic.
2024	Gugulethu Violet	Dube	University of the Witwatersrand	https://www.wits.ac.za/	Gugulethu Violet Dube is a Zimbabwean-born and South African-based climate justice and climate governance researcher, copywriter, and sustainable development practitioner. Gugulethu is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Development Sociology at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa as a Mandela Rhodes Scholar. She also holds an Honours degree in International Business and Trade from the African Leadership University in Rwanda, as a School of Wildlife Conservation scholar. Gugulethu’s research interests lie in the nexus of sustainable development, climate justice, and governance, with a specific interest in how climate change impacts women of colour living within urban settings. Gugulethu is also passionate about intersectional environmentalism and believes conservation should be inclusive and economically empower women and marginalised communities. Gugulethu also strives to utilise business acumen and creative strategies to analyse and comprehend how businesses and governmental organisations are intertwined, developed, and sustained across their value chain. Throughout her studies, Gugulethu co-founded a sustainable waste management initiative that won the Hult Prize on Campus and was a Top 6 Finalist at the Hult Prize Abuja Regionals. Gugulethu is also a YALI RLC Southern Africa alumni and a fellow of the Jim Leech Mastercard Fellowship on Entrepreneurship. Gugulethu also dubs herself as a ‘multipotentialite’ with a myriad of creative interests. Gugulethu has worked in the creative industry as a radio host and copywriter, and a radio advert she co-wrote was nominated at the Loeries Awards. Gugulethu’s ultimate mission is to shape and influence sustainable development policies and strategies rooted in social and gender equity, economic viability, and environmental conservation within the African continent.	Two of the central aims of the African Climate Mobility Initiative is to Advance efforts for addressing climate-forced displacement and migration; while protecting people on the move and advance the resilience of African communities confronting the climate crisis. My Master’s dissertation is in line with the principles of the initiative as it is centred on investigating the socio-economic impacts of climate-induced water shortages on women living in a poor urban areas in Zimbabwe. The study seeks to provide a contextualised and multidimensional analysis of women’s lived experiences, vulnerability, and resilience to climate change within high-density urban areas in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, while also understanding the various factors that shape their experiences. The study shall take into account socio-economic issues such as access to housing, water and sanitation, economic and income inequality, institutional discrimination, household power dynamics, violence against women (VAW), safer cities, social inequity, and human rights. By attending the COP27, I hope to share knowledge on the arbitrating issues of vulnerability and resilience affecting women and how they negotiate their place in society in search for a scarce resource. I also hope to learn and exchange ideas on how climate change governance and policy can intentionally focus on developmental and adaptation efforts on the most vulnerable groups in Zimbabwe and Africa at large.

2028	Stanley	Ochola	Spectrum Agronet	N/A	I am an experienced environmental and land use planning Specialist with a demonstrated history of working in the management consulting industry. Strong education professional with a Bachelor's in land resource planning and management focused on sustainable land management and urban design from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology. For three years I have worked with various non-governmental organizations on key areas of climate and clean energy, community capacity building, disease prevention and eradication, ecosystem restoration, and sustainable land management. Previously, I have also coordinated a climate youth hack committee meeting having been selected as the chair working with youths from different corners of the world to tackle climate injustice and campaigns to end the use of fossil fuels. Additionally, I have good listening skills, advocacy, and networking skills, the ability to interpret, analyze and present data, excellent communication, interpersonal and team-building skills, researching skills, and the ability to write reports.	Climate change is a real and undeniable threat to our entire civilization. The effects are already visible and will be catastrophic unless we act now. To state my experience relating to climate mobility and why I am so passionate about taking urgent action to combat climate change as well as applying to become an ACMI youth forum delegate for COP27 is really because of the devastating effects of Climate change in my community. Climate change has caused extreme weather events such as heat waves, droughts, and floods, aggravating water management problems, reducing agricultural production and food security, increasing health risks, damaging critical infrastructure, and interrupting the provision of basic services such as water and sanitation, education, energy, and transport.

2030	Clemence	Mutegeri	Women In Communities Zimbabwe	htps://www.wico.org.zw	Clemence Mutegeri is a motivated Global Youth Climate Network (GYCN)’s 2022 Max Thabiso Edkins (MTE) Climate Ambassador with an aspiration to make this world a better place through Climate Action. Driven by his interest in Climate Change that he developed through his years pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Economics where Environmental Economics issues fascinated him – he takes pride in advocating for inclusive climate action. After graduation in 2019, he decided to join a non-profit organisation that focuses on youth and women empowerment around Climate Change and Action, Biodiversity, Sustainable Environmental Management, and Community Development. Currently he is monitoring and evaluating a French Embassy in Zimbabwe funded project on Supporting Community Action in Ecosystem-based Adaptation to Economic and Climate challenges. With a keen interest in leadership development, in 2021, Clemence enrolled in the African Civic Engagement Academy (ACEA) – leadership development program offered by the University of Georgia, United States, and sponsored by the United States Department of State. Through this academy and as part of the ACEA course, he developed a strong Civic Engagement Action Plan (CEAP) that is designed to promote inclusive Climate Policy at national level and inclusive climate negotiations at the Conference of the Parties (COP) 27 and 28 – with intentional approach to promote inclusion of youth, women, and people with disabilities. This CEAP led him to be selected amongst the 60/2000 ACEA participants with the strongest CEAP to attend the 2022 ACEA Summit in Accra, Ghana in May. In further pursuit of his climate ambitions and aspirations, he was also selected to participate in the first ever Local Conference of Youth (LCOY) on Climate Change – a conference organized by the African Youth Initiative for Climate Change (AYICC Zimbabwe) and supported by UNICEF, UNDP and the Ministry of Environment Climate Tourism and Hospitality Industry (MECTHI). Thus, Clemence expects to attend the COP27 as an opportunity to be part of an evidence-based position paper and Action Plan for Insider-Insider, Insider-Outsider, and Outsider-Outsider Approaches to COP27 negotiations for increased inclusivity and diversity in COP27 negotiations.	My motivation for applying to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 stems from my passion for climate change, my aspiration to promote youth-inclusive climate negotiations, and my career goals and objectives. Through my undergraduate studies in Economics, I have always aspired to work around climate change. This aspiration was further motivated by the Environmental Economics module I took as part of the course. In this regard, I am motivated to become an ACMI Youth Forum Delegate in order to fulfill my aspiration to work around climate change for sustainable development. Sustainable development in Africa is being hampered by the impacts of climate change and climate mobility – an issue that disproportionately affects youth - who remain disenfranchised from climate policy formulation and climate negotiations. Thus, becoming an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 is a great opportunity and motivation to promote youth-inclusive climate negotiations around climate mobility and in line with my Civic Engagement Action Plan (CEAP)¹ and my career goals and objectives. 1: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1acebu_fVGKx6ia38hyQU7eVKJH5a4o_q/view?usp=sharing

2046	Wendpagnagde Judicael Williams Elie	OUEDRAOGO	Association the Upright Project Burkina	http://www.theuprightproject.org	I am Wendpagnagde Judicael Williams Elie OUEDRAOGO. I am 29 years old. I am from BURKINA FASO. I hold a Bachelor's in Finance Accounting as well as certifications in Leadership, Critical thinking, Human Rights, Gender and Environment, Conflict Management and Effective Communication, Sales and marketing, Digital marketing, and Humanitarian logistics. During my school and university journey, I was president of the student committee four times, namely twice in Burkina Faso, once in Ghana, and once in the People's Republic of China. During these mandates, I worked with and for students to improve their conditions and manage conflicts. Furthermore, as a young social activist, I worked during the last four years in making my country a better place to live by supporting and promoting peace, empowering our youth, and instigating youth involvement in community development. Indeed, with the Association the Young Conscious Leaders of Burkina, we are committed to cultivating social cohesion despite the terrorist attacks in Burkina Faso and promoting youth involvement in community development. We achieve this by organizing periodically days of community service to clean up public properties, help students in need, and communicate the merits of acting for the development of the community. Furthermore, with association the Upright Project Burkina, we first support the wounded soldiers and their families morally through visits and barbecues, and financially. Then, we cultivate a climate of lasting peace by supporting the football tournament called "Maracana Espoir" and training the delegates of the universities in Ouagadougou in Leadership and community engagement. Also, with Djo volontaire, a charity organization, we promote youth social engagement and environmental conservation. We achieve these goals by organizing sanitation days, reforestation activities, and sensitizing my people on current issues like Covid 19, youth social engagement, pollution, and environmental conservation. And with Kibboutz Service BF, we train young people free of charge whether from associations or youth movements in digital marketing, community management, and personal branding. This is why we trained more than 50 young people at AIESEC's Digital summit held on the 30th of July. Otherwise, my long-term goals are to better empower our youth, help people by improving their lives, and make the world a better place. And my motivation to achieve these goals is not money or prestige but being an agent of change for the edification of a New and Emerging World. In addition, to have a better impact on conflict resolution and foster my leadership and diplomacy skills, I participated in the Arab Youth International Model United Nations held from May 27 to 30 in Dubai. I also attended the last Youth Peace Forum in Antalya Turkey held by Alliance for Humanity from 16 to 19 July to be more aware of youth involvement in conflict resolution and environmental conservation.	As a social activist, I joined the charity organization called Djo Volontaire in October 2019. This organization aims to promote youth engagement in community development and environmental conservation. This is why we started our first activity with a sanitation day on the 05th of December 2019. We cleaned up the public medical center with surgical antenna of Patte D'oie and we communicated on how youth involvement in community services can lead to community development. We didn't work during 2020 because of the pandemic situation. But from 09th February to 19th July 2021 we held a sensitization campaign on hygiene, sanitation, and Covid 19 in 08 primary schools located in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. We taught them the right manners to be healthy, keep their environments clean, and stay away from Covid 19. Moreover, on the 17 of April 2021, we reached out to convince a group of people in the area of Kamboinssin, Burkina Faso, to plant some trees in front of all their houses. And as a result, they planted 98 trees and created a small community park where they planted mango and goava trees with flowers where they come to meet each other and relax. Furthermore, we held a reforestation activity. Indeed, we planted 1000 trees in Ziniare, Burkina Faso. On this day, we also fostered the awareness of the participants on environmental issues through sensitization. We did this to support the efforts of our government to stop desertification. We believe that all of us are accountable when it comes to resolving important issues such as desertification and climate change. And from this day, we took the engagement to organize a sanitation activity with sensitization every 2 months and to plant a minimum of 1000 trees every year. Finally, in January 2022, we started to sensitize the farmers in the areas of Kombissiri, Bazega, and Sapouy about the benefits of using biofertilizers and good farming practices. Indeed, we reached how to sensitize 183 farmers on why they should use biofertilizers, and we also taught them some innovative technics of farming.
2047	Mark	Lekamario	Samburu Bright Future	http://marklekamario.website2.me	Am from a marginalized community in Kenya , rift Valley province. Born, raised and schooled in Samburu County home of cattle keepers and raiders.At primary level I secured some awards such as best in cross country twice and a single award as the best swimmer in the community. At high school I took part in community service programme such as educating the youth in importance of keeping environment clean,distributing multivitamin supplies to nutrient deficient children and attending Mater Heart run Programe aimed at raising funds for people with heart problems. After high school I frequently attended peace keeping ceminars around the county and worked aas a youth leader in the community. I spent half of my young teenage life herding in deep forest of Mathew Ranges.Due to rapid climate change I constantly moved from place to place in search of pasture and water for livestock.I have tracked from Samburu to cooler and greener regions of Mount Kenya and Aberdare ranges frequently due to vast draughts in Samburu .I have been involved in some raids where neighboring communities forcefully take livestock from my community,search encounters led to loss of lives and source of income also increased death rates of children and elderly due to lack of food supply. After finishing high school I resolved in agriculture.Sadly due to conflict between wild animals and human the practice encountered a big loss. Few months later I joined Jommo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology Kiambu County.Am a full time schooling student at the second year of my course.I am pursing Bachelor's degree of Civil Engineering. Am the only one from my community at the second year level.	Climate change has become a leading cause of poverty in my community. For the past decades the climate pattern has gradually changed from being predictable to unpredictable and from being minimal cause to death of livestock to the leading cause of livestock looses. Climate change makes it difficult for farmers and livestock keepers to maintain their profit income and minimize their losses.Due to unpredictable climate pattern few produce are being obtain while losses encountered is increasingly becoming huge. Rainfall for instance has drifted its pattern for instance, in my community for the past three to four years, we have been experiencing minimal rainfall quantities and few seasons, seasons such as rainy seasons of June to July ended.Despite the tragedy few farmers are able to install permanent water system to reduce dependancy of rainfalls. Cattle herders like my community now have the toughest time in history, with lossd of hundreds of livestock per individual due to draughts. As an educated youth in my community I would like to raise the concern of environmental preservation and climate change awareness to the community at large. Few youths are able to make it to the University in my community due to poverty and also most of them are engaged in cattle raidings due to loss of their prior huge herds of livestock. Also draught forces most of them to different regions in search of pasture and water for livestock. As an able youth I would like to learn more about climate change conservation and more issues relating to the community way of life socially and economically

This role has also given me experiences that are similar to that of an ACMI Youth Forum Delegate. My passion includes the development of solutions to problems in communities using current technological means and skills. I currently hold leadership positions of an intern, facilitator, STEM educator and volunteer at various organizations like the Teenpreneurs Educational Foundation, Community Innovation Hub and University Co-creation Hub (UNIMED x British Council) where I led the climate education unit of the organizations.	I am a climate education advocate, providing climate education to public and private school children across Nigeria underserved communities, aged 18. and born as a first child to a family of four. I’m the Co-founder of STEM CLUB, a school-based club providing climate education and other 21st century skills using alternative learning model such as entrepreneurship and innovation. As an advocate for Climate education, I have led several movements in Nigeria to advocate for the right of school children to climate education, through policy drafting engagement with policy makers, public awareness and public engagement at different levels. Technology, and people who aspire to make social changes and positive impacts in their respective fields and communities with relation to the Social Developmental Goals inspire me. I am especially inspired by networks of young innovators and developers. I am also very inspired by people who are able to provide youths opportunities. Current I work as Youth Advisory panel member at the Girl's Effect Organisation, an independent non-profit organization that helps girls make choices and changes in their lives by igniting their confidence and give them voice to advocate for their rights and right to climate education. With presence in over 20 countries across Africa, Europe and Asia, as a member of the youth advisory panel, my key focal areas entail advocating for SDGs 4, 5, 11, and 13 My duties as a Youth Advisory Panel member include working with researchers and other youth panelists, by reviewing tools for research and fieldwork, to ensure that developed solutions for marginalized youths properly curb issues and the solutions provided directly relate to youths and young people. This role has also given me experiences that are similar to that of an ACMI Youth Forum Delegate. My passion includes the development of solutions to problems in communities using current technological means and skills.

Fatma Zahran is studying pharmacy at the University of Helwan. She is an aspiring and creative 22 year- old woman who is an outstanding performer in Public Speaking and presentations. Proven success in leadership, operational excellence and organizational development with keen understanding of elements of MUN Political filed. Concerned with Climate Action. Recognized for inspiring team members to excel and encouraging creative work environments. Fatma is writing a research paper about her patented project: Using Plant Microbial Fuel Cell to generate renewable energy and reduce global warming. Fatma’s academic interests focus on the medical effects of global warming and carbon footprint on humans, and animals in Egypt. She is considering applying to a medical graduate school in the US, where she could study Oncology and Cancer. During her three years of high school at Maadi STEM School for girls, she acquired theoretical and practical knowledge related to different topics, particularly Egypt’s Grand Challenges and SDGs 3: Good health and wellbeing, 7: affordable and clean energy, and 13: climate action . She founded Maadi STEM Debate Club. She attended different courses, conferences and summer schools, nationally and internationally, in top universities such as the University of Nottingham in Malaysia, AUC, and Max hospital in India, where she came in contact with healthcare skills, scientific research basics, decision making skills, and advocacy strategies. Fatma works as a Project coordinator of climate change resilience and adaptation action in Cairo foundation for development and human rights. Her work and special concerns for climate change made her a prime climate activist in an early age. Fatma is genuinely concerned with climate action policy. She was careful to improve her knowledge and experience of climate adaptation through attending youth summits as Pune leadership conference in India in 2019 and Youth adaptation action delivered in Glasgow in August 2022. Fatma attended several trainings for young women leadership on climate adaptation that fostered her leadership skills so she could induce and realize sustainable solutions. Her project was proven successful in empowering women to master agricultural businesses with the help of smart technological tools. She created an innovation to drive a response to climate change. Fatma got several first places and awards in national and global competitions in the categories of renewable energy generation, biochemistry and agriculture with her project such as First Place in the 6th Cairo International Exhibition for Innovation, 2019, Silver Medal ICAN international Competition, 2019, Egypt IoT challenge, 2018/2019 and the International competition IYIA, INNOPA, 2019.The most recent was winning the second place award in the third Junior Researcher Competition, the climate change track. Fatma was the first high school student to volunteer in a global medical program for undergraduates in India. Her participation enhanced her medical skills, leadership skills as well as her communication skills. Fatma speaks English, French, and Spanish fluently in addition to Hindi and she plans on studying more languages.	As a highly motivated girl who is trying to make the world a better place, a student who took advantages of all the opportunities in a world of creativity and innovation where climate change is causing a lot of havoc in our lives and threatening the lives of the upcoming generations, a young woman who believes that she can change the narratives of the society. After working hard for years to develop a project that was proven successful in tackling the problem of climate change through generating clean energy from living plants. And being a volunteer numerously, especially advocating for climate change issues. This is therefore a great opportunity for a young woman like me develop deeper understanding and connect with leaders driving the global response to climate change, a place to share my ideas to the rest of the world in terms of climate mobility, share the story of my people whose voices are not heard, an opportunity to partner, network, gain and engage to foster my knowledge about climate mobility. In 2017, I started working on my project whose core idea is energy generation from living plants and building an IoT system that aims to regulate irrigation, reduce water consumption, gather big data about agricultural conditions, produce Wi-Fi signals and facilitate agricultural work to be suitable for women. In 2019, I was a delegate in Pune leadership conference that took place in India, the session that I participated in was about human rights and climate change. Among the topics raised was climate mobility and its effects on children’s’ and women’s health. In this conference I felt personally attacked by the term climate mobility; to be forced by nature to leave your land. I worked with my fellow colleague to deliver a one minute country’s policy and ultimately, our hard work was paid off when we received an award of honor for our subtle participation. Later on my work on climate change was acknowledged when I pitched my project in Egypt IoT challenge in the 6th Cairo International Exhibition for Innovation, 2019. Among two thousand projects, “Smart plant microbial fuel cell” won the first place and was nominated to be presented in Expo 2020 in Dubai. In brief, the project addresses major local and global issues as energy crisis, climate change, and water shortage in agriculture demands and it aims to reduce climate mobility by reducing climate change. With this project, data related to climate change impact on agricultural lands will be available. Policymakers will understand the negative consequence of extreme weather events on food security and prioritize the disaster plans. It will accelerate women’s empowerment in agricultural fields during extreme weather events and in normal conditions, and reduce maternal mortality and morbidity in the country. ACMI Youth Forum is a magnificent opportunity to learn by insightful and brilliant examples in a collaborative atmosphere among likeminded individuals and a milestone to upgrade my skills and my project towards helpful innovation that could progress agriculture in the globe, one day.

2055	Ahmed	Essam			Good evening! I am Ahmed Essam, I am a sophomore at the Egypt-Japan university for Science and Technology (E-JUST), in the faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology - Department of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. I was a student at Assiut STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) high school (2018-2021). I was a cultural exchange student at Goethe-Institut Prag which was supposed to be held in Prague - Czech Republic (it was done via video conference due to the repercussions of the COVID-19 crisis). My achievements and projects are: - ISEF 2020 Finalist: Robotics project - 3D Video game (unfinished) - BEPLEX: 2D Video game (unfinished) - ReCycling: Android app for detecting the type of plastic bottle as an input (CAPSTONE project). - Jackdaw ship: For extracting the microplastics from water (CAPSTONE project). As for volunteering, it has a part of my life: - I was a Volunteer at Life Makers Foundation (Summer 2018): Volunteered in the summer to teach Reading and Writing to Illiterates to reduce illiteracy in the Assiut governorate [Four sessions, Two hours per session] & in the Media committee. - I was a Graphic Design Course trainer (After School): 2019-2020 (One session every week, Two hours per session). Moving to the side of my skills: C++, C#, Unity game engine, Python, Back-end developments, Graphic designing, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Premier Pro, 3D modeling, and Cognitive data analysis. Note: A link to my Resume is attached to this application for more information https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ydcw5K5tUJ-bt6hed7yn2pCLjRtjksLL/view?usp=sharing	I am looking for making all people reconsider everything related to the climate, even if it is as small as a plastic bottle that he will be thrown into the water, and how that action can affect the planet through a following of 500 years... that is one out of billion actions everyone takes during the day and he takes it easy, but it is exactly the butterfly effect. The problem of climate change that has occurred recently, such as temperatures risings (Greenhouse gas), floods in some places, and drought in others, should also be an example of what can happen because of the pollutants we do to the environment, whether in the air, water... and to raise the awareness within us in order to seriously make us reconsider how to conserve the environment. And because of my interests and motivations in the climate and my passion for looking forward to a better fate in general, and that the plastic problem is a very big challenge that should not be underestimated in particular, I made two projects related to plastic: - The Jackdaw ship, which, during its voyage in the seas or oceans, filters the seawater from micro-plastics, which performs a number of processes and passes the water on some of the materials (including sand, and carbon blocks faucet) that filter that water from the micro-plastics, and then returns it again filtered to the water (tested and evaluated through a number of professors at the universities of Assiut and Cairo). - An android application called "Recycling", based on the CNN algorithm (image classification algorithm) detects the types of plastic bottles as inputs by a camera lens (as it is known that there are 6 types of plastic so far, and each type has a number printed on that bottle), as this application helps to speed up the sorting process on the large scale in which humans, according to statistics, can detect the type of a bottle in a period of 5 to 14 seconds, while the application can determine in a period of 3 seconds with 91% accuracy (this was a high school capstone project).
2056	Raheemat	Hamzat	Plogging Nigeria Club	https://www.ploggingnigeria.org	Hamzat Raheemat is a strong advocate of environmental sustainability. I hail from Ogun State, one of the most affected regions by climate change in Nigeria. Being a first-hand witness of climate crisis, I've been motivated to serve in various capacities for environmental and sustainability themed projects. I'm presently a medical student who seeks to change the narrative of climate change and to make better social impact in my community, and the world by extension. I'm an empathetic and enthusiastic young lady who is passionate about growth, personal development and making impacts which has spurred me to attend webinars, local and regional conferences. I'm an advocate for body safety education and sexual purity. I'm also an active volunteer in health and social care; providing support for the needy and showing concern for their welfare through orphanage visits and medical outreaches. My core values are empathy, team work and problem solving. I'm a content creator with over a year experience in creating, curating and editing contents ranging from beauty to lifestyle, health and culture . I enjoy plogging, reading, research, writing and public speaking. I envision a future where everyone will be actively taking part in climate change by contributing their time and energy to the actualization of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.	I'm an indigene of Ogun State, one of the coldest regions and most affected region by flood in Nigeria. The sea levels rises and the heavy tides have devastating consequences on the habitat and inhabitants of Onihale, Ota. Being a first-hand witness of climate change, the geographic setting amongst waste management and energy issues in the state causes flash floods which leads to mass displacement of people, loss of lives and properties, harsh economic situations as a result of loss of businesses and jobs. Due to the vulnerability of children and women, recovery from the climate crisis is more difficult, affecting them physically, economically and socially. Over the years, I kept on thinking of ways to solve this environmental menace and I resorted to acquiring environmental knowledge to help better the society . This inspired me and rekindled my passion to volunteer in Plogging Nigeria Club and other environmental-related initiatives. I participate in clean up activities to solve our waste management issues, as well as sensitize community members about climate change and sustainable measures in our local languages. Networking with innovative minds and attending webinars to proffer solutions to climate change, adaptation, funding and mitigation. I envision a future where everyone will be actively taking part in climate change and even the grassroot levels will be involved in policy making . The Africa of our dreams is achievable; together we can change the narrative of climate change in our communities, Africa and the world by extension. And I believe the ACMI youth forum will afford me the opportunity to make better social impact in my community.

2059	OYINLOLA	MOYO	: Teenspreneur Educational Foundation		Please limit your response to 500 words I am Oyinlola Moyosore, Co-Founder of Re-Craft NG, a social enterprise that promote recycling education across communities by converting fashion waste into usable items. An undergraduate who has been out of school due to ASUU strike. During my stay at home, I got to intern at Teenpreneurs Educational Foundation, a youth’s led organization that is promoting STEM education, education for sustainable development, to end poverty and empower girls to pursue careers in STEM. According to research, the fashion industry is the second most polluting industry globally, little did we take up actions that promote fashion cycle, to reduce fashion waste in the community. This was what led me to starting Re-Craft NG, which support sustainable development goal 13, aimed at solving the social issue of climate change by reducing, recycling and reusing of fabric wastes. Fabric wastes can be transformed into many reusable items like tote bags, mouse pads , laptop bags. Even the shreded piece can be converted to keyholders and alot more. Itsl makes a big difference to recycle and reuse fabric waste and each time we do,it's a victory.	Climate change has become a great challenge facing humanity. The 27th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change – COP27 – will build on the outcomes of COP26 to deliver action on an array of issues critical to tackling the climate emergency – from urgently reducing greenhouse gas emissions, building resilience and adapting to the inevitable impacts of climate change, to delivering on the commitments to finance climate action in developing countries. Faced with a growing energy crisis, record greenhouse gas concentrations, and increasing extreme weather events, COP27 seeks renewed solidarity between countries, to deliver on the landmark Paris Agreement, for people and the planet. I am motivated to become an ACMI youth forum delegate for COP 27 in order to create more awareness , help reassert people's commitment to a global energy transition and also create Jobs for the youths.

2060	Kgaugelo	Mkumbeni	Rhodes University	https://www.ru.ac.za/	Kgaugelo is a youth policy maker and researcher by profession. She have worked with institutions such as SADC, the UNFCCC, and the G20. She holds a Bachelor of Social Science in Political and International Studies from Rhodes University, where she is currently completing my Honours degree there. She has represented her country, South Africa in various contexts such as the Y20 Summit, in SADC and in the Asia Youth Model United Nations. In the Y20 Summit (G20) in 2022, Kgaugelo represented her country as the Head of the South African delegation and as a delegate in the Sustainable and Livable track. In her role, Kgaugelo ensured to champion for equitable, feasible climate policies. She articulated policies that accounted for Africa, understanding that South Africa is the only African state that is represented at the G20. In addition, she fearlessly critiqued policies that prioritized the Global North. Despite the G20, Kgaugelo has represented her country in the SADC Youth Parliament from 2020 to 2021. In this role, she advocated for the significant representation of youth in SADC structures. In South Africa, Kgaugelo is affiliated with the South African Institute of International Affairs youth programmes Youth@SAIIA. She has particpated in those programmes since 15, the first being the Young researchers Symposium. Through the Symposium, Kgaugelo proposed a paper with proposals on sustainable development in the rural community. In addition, she has participated in processes such as South African Youth Climate Action Plan (SAYCAP), World Wildlife Conference and the Young Leaders Conference. Kgaugelo has also been part of the YOUNGO (UNFCCC) women and gender working group. Kgaugelo has also been briefly mentored by president Bill Clinton in a masterclass with Change the World NYC in 2021. She is the postgraduate representative for the political and international studies department at Rhodes University.	This year’s twenty-seventh session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 27) will be held in Egypt, making it the second time it has been held on African soil. COP27 is a pivotal opportunity for the youth of Africa to usher the world towards a greener future, hence I am interested in attending this year’s event. I would like to apply for the opportunity to represent Africa at COP27. Having attended the G20 Youth Summit (Y20) in Indonesia this year, I have an understanding of South Africa’s trajectory in its climate diplomacy. I was selected by the South African Youth for International Diplomacy (SAYID) to attend and lead a 4-person delegation at this year’s G20. Naturally, I gravitated towards the Sustainable and Livable Planet track as I have a deep commitment to the realisation of a sustainable future for all. I worked with the Indonesian Youth Diplomacy (IYD) and youth from more than 20 nations in multiple negotiations and in drafting a communique for about 6 months. I worked in the working groups that are of greatest interest to me: Sustainable Finance, Energy Transition, and Built Environment. The G20 has advanced my understanding of diplomacy, climate and the skill of negotiation. I believe these are the skills I require at COP27, which makes me an excellent fit for the opportunity. I was honoured with being appointed to the SADC Youth Parliament in 2020- 2022, as it provided me with the platform to represent the voices of youth to the SADC executives. My work included resolving issues of state debt, gender equality, the rule of law, domestic resource mobilisation, and economic development (including growing blue and green economies). My experience as a member of parliament has enabled me to grow my leadership, research, and policy-making skills. I have also had to think critically, listen to the views of others, and develop a thick skin, particularly under heated negotiations and debates. Understanding that COP meetings fundamentally revolve around debates and negotiations, I am confident that I will thrive in those spaces and learn. At COP27, I am interested in the Climate Finance negotiations and discussions. I believe that the financial aspect of climate action is crucial, particularly since not all countries have the financial capacity to deal with the adverse effects of the climate crisis or work towards adaptation and mitigation. In our unprecedented times, with pandemics and conflicts, it becomes imperative to scale up developing nations to work toward climate-resilient development. Therefore, I have some input for the discussions on scaling up finance for developing nations. I am deeply motivated by the notion that I will make a significant contribution to COP27 given my education and experiences as a climate leader. I intend to continue to be an advocate for climate action after COP27. I will be using my networks through COP27 to advance the mobilisation of climate finance and work with different stakeholders to realise that. I want to be at the forefront of decision-making, lead, and inform global communities in mitigating climate crises. Quite simply, attending COP27 will be a good step toward that dream.
2061	Ashlin	Naidoo	UNMGCY SDG7 youth constituency Global support team/ RES4AFRICA youth task force/ City Of Cape Town	City Of Cape Town	Ashlin completed his BSc(Hons) Environmental Science degree in 2018 at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. His thesis investigated the socio-economic impacts of solar water heaters in low-income households in Cato Manor, KwaZulu-Natal, which was published in the Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews Journal. Ashlin’s continued focus in the field of energy provided him an opportunity, in 2018, to attend a Renewable Energy Conference, hosted by São Paulo School of Advanced Science on Renewable Energies, held at the University of São Paulo, Brazil, fully sponsored by FAPESP. In 2019, Ashlin accepted an internship with the German Development Agency where he was required to research the socio-economic development and enterprise development impacts of the Independent Power Producers (Wind farms) in the Eastern Cape region of South Africa. Demystifying the social benefits of these IPPs under the REIPPP Programme is a vital part of South Africa’s Just Transition. In 2020 Ashlin took the opportunity to work for the City of Cape Town Municipality, Energy and Climate Change Directorate. The core function of this position is to focus on the various fields that relate to the Municipality’s journey to carbon neutrality by 2050. Initiatives to achieve this target include data management of liquid fuels, air pollution, transport and electricity databases and energy modelling. Ashlin has gained considerable experience, in a career spanning only a few years, in the field of Renewable energy, which is an inherent passion for him. The evolution of technology in the field of Renewable energy and reduction in carbon footprint globally, makes this a dynamic area in which he would like to make a valuable contribution. In 2021 he volunteered in the United Nations Major Group for Children and Youth (UNMGCY SDG7) Constituency Global Support Team, as well as, volunteering as the South African UN Conference of Youth (COY16) country coordinator where he worked to gather the voices of youth for the Global Youth Statement, which was formally handed over to the COP26 president. Ashlin will be pursuing his Master’s degree at Stellenbosch University in Mechanical Engineering: Renewable energy. This will allow him to further his skills in this area, while simultaneously allowing him to contribute to the sustainable growth of the City of Cape Town and its Journey to net Zero Carbon by 2050.	I am dead set on seeing significant action taken by our nations governments to fight Climate Change. This decade has been declared by the UN as the decade of action yet strategies, policies and plans are yet to be finalised. I am eager to get involved and embed myself into the Climate action movement that will hopefully shape South Africa. Climate change is a global problem, however, solutions to this global problem cannot have a “one size fits all” approach. This further highlights the need for knowledge sharing amongst problem solvers as creative and innovative solutions are not only needed but also need to be tailored to a country’s socio-political environment. Climate change requires a robust knowledge-base that has longevity. Thus, today’s youth need to take responsibility for the previous generation’s mistakes and develop all relevant skills to deal with this global problem at a local level. I COP27 as a mechanism to expedite the knowledge, experience and opportunities that youth will need to have in the future South Africa. I believe I have a fair amount of skills and experience that will be of great help to fellow YCAP leaders. I take great joy in serving a purpose greater than myself in the hope that it will bring a better future for the greater humanity. The list below has some of my possible engagements, if I am able to attend. Several of the engagements are still to be confirmed so the list is only a draft so far. -Member of the UNMGCY SDG7 Youth Constituency global support team (https://www.unmgcy.org/sustainable-energy): a variety of side events and panel discussion on energy and youth empowerment. Events to be confirmed. - Res4Africa youth task force(https://www.res4africa.org/youth-task-force): a multitude of events and session to be confirmed: - November 9 th , a panel on the framework of the 4th Capacity Building Hub (invited by UNFCCC), the panel will see the presentation of the three winners of our Young Talent of the Year Award and of the new RES4Africa Academy (evolution of the Micro-grid academy) with the participation of some members of the Youth Task Force, see attached -Host a panel at the Water-Energy-Food Nexus - African Youth Mobilisation for COP (AYM4COP). This campaign seeks to mobilise African Youth in YOUNGO to improve coordination and provision of support to address these systemic challenges faced by African youth while strengthening the core mission and vision of YOUNGO.

Life became difficult and unbearable for me at this point of my life after the demise of my uncle, even though my parent are incapable of sponsoring my education into tertiary institution due to financial constraint, yet, I was determined and focused in realizing my dream in getting the best and quality education despite my poor background In year 2016, I gained admission to a Federal University In Nigeria to study Political Science and my School fees was sponsored by a Guardian who Volunteered to pay all my tuition fee throughout my year in school I Completed a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science; I graduated as a Second Class upper student with the CGPA 3.99; during my Undergraduate I was elected as the Treasurer of my Department in year 2019, Hence, I was able to document and oversee all financial transactions, manage incoming and outgoing funds in the department and I deem it fit to increase the cash flow of the department by 10% this impressive contribution got me awarded by my department in year 2019. Furthermore, I developed a keen interest in communication and content writing during my undergraduate’s studies, this motivated me join the press and media team of my school in other to develop my skills in this area of interest. I was able to contribute my quota to the press and media team by giving detailed information about campus events I was more exposed and more informed about event and activities during my undergraduate. After my Bachelor’s degree, I was posted to Osun state for my National Youth corps (NYSC), and was deployed to State of Osun House of Assembly as my place of primary to work as an assistant, to the Secretary of the legislative management. I was privileged to attend Plenary session with my boss to assist in writing Report and proceedings of each sitting in the house, this activities enhance and improve my writing and creative skills, thus, this made me contribute immensely by creating content and develop stories to the new launched E- Parliament in the Osun State House of Assembly Few month ago. I Volunteered for Lola Cater Foundation and I was chosen to be the State coordinator of the Non-governmental Organization in Osun state. During our ‘Pad a girl campaign’ I was able to reach out to 200 female secondary school student in Osun state to teach them about Menstrual Hygiene Management in my community.	My Motivation for ACMI is driven my passion to acquire knowledge and learn the Nitty-gritty on how to address the risk and harness the opportunity and privilege associated with climate mobility in African continent. I studied Political science as my Bachelor’s Degree from Federal University Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti state Nigeria, While studying for my Bachelor’s degree in Political Science I developed a keen interest in Political Climate that is how climate change is contributing to political and social instability hence, the evidence of interconnecting climate change and political stability has been less obvious, but it becoming impossible to ignore in this dispensation. I believe ACMI is a better avenue for me to learn the adaptability of climate change and also inculcate this knowledge into young minds like me my home country Nigeria on how to educate them the impact of global warming today and increase climate literacy among young people in my country. More so, I am confident that this internship ACMI is a one shop that takes me closer to becoming a climate educator in the future, to help young people to understand the address the impact of the climate crises and empowering them with the knowledge, skills, value and attitude needed to act as an agent of change. I believe ACMI is a better avenue and opportunity to have a 1st hand knowledge of the risk and opportunity that is attached to climate change alongside with the combination of learning and broader changes to systematic thinking in a way of having deep understanding of factual motivating through climate change education the causes ,effects, and learn new techniques and strategies and ways of limiting its impact and negative effects and outcome and adapting to its unavoidable changes and effects in our community and nation at large. Furthermore, I am privilege to be one of the she Lead Climate community Actors which aim and objectives is to educate and encourage girls and women on climate change and building their capacities to climate actions in our environment and teach them about global warming on how to address the risk of climate change which requires global and local actions to reduce green house gases as well as to reduce vulnerabilities to climate change impact on people in our immediate environment and how to curb the serious societal challenges of climate crises in our environment. I would love to dedicate myself wholeheartedly during the ACMI youth forum in Egypt, during the conference, I will immensely contribute my quota towards the promotion of Climate education towards achieving one of the sustainable development goal worldwide.
2065	Kamuti	Sitali	Advocacy for child Justice	Acjzambia.org	Kamuti is a vibrant young man aged 20 from Peri-urban Kanyama Compound of Lusaka, Zambia. He has been working with advocacy for child Justice as a Child’s rights ambassador since 2019. Kamuti has shown strong leadership skills throughout his engagements with ACJ and has been used to mobilize and educate his fellow young people on issues around children's rights among many others. He has respresented the Zambian Children at local, regional and international forums such as the 2020 United Nations High Level Political Forum where he presented a shadow report done by Zambian children on the implementation of the sustainable development goals. He has a creative and pleasant personality. He is poet and writer, and radio presenter at pan African radio where he uses his skills to inspire change in his community. Kamuti is a self-motivated person who is able to work independently and as part of a team. He believe a socially just world is possible and therefore, he stops at nothing in his quest to attain this reality.	Climate Change has brought about a lot of social injustices. To think climate change is not a human rights concern is absolute absurdity. Climate change is linked to so many of facets of human existence and it affects and threatens the entire existence of every ecosystem. As child’s rights activist, I believe my work would be but futile if it does not take into account the influence of climate change on the administration of children’s rights. Through a the Mutule II child protection project by advocacy for child justice, I have discovered that climate change is one of the leading causes of child rights violations in my country including child marriage/ prostitution, child labour among many others. This is because climate change leaves many family languishing in poverty a situation that forces parents to either get their children married off for dowry exchange, engage in prostitution for money, or send them out to work. This situation means that children will have to cut short their dream to have an education. Because of climate change most children have to skip class in times when droughts hit most communities in my country, the floods lead to disease outbreaks such as cholera and Typhoid which threatens the lives of many children in a lot communities. Droughts on the other hand, leave a lot of homes hungry as there is no food for the people who rely on farm products. There is a lot of deforestation in my county as many people rely on charcoal as a means of energy And survival. Charcoal business is common among many people in my community and this has led to the indiscriminate cutting of trees which in turn has leads to climate change. This reality has made me realize the huge responsibility that I and many other young people like myself have in my community. I believe I have what it takes to bring about the much needed change necessary for climate justice. I have been involved in a lot of forums that are seek to bring climate justice by devising means of preventing and mitigating the impact of climate change in the country. I use the platform that I have on Radio to raise awareness on issues like this so that people become more aware of their environment and the importance of maintaining good climate practices. Being I child’s rights activity, I have been given a role of mentoring and working with other young people with minds alike to drive conversations around climate change and sensitize other community members on the same. My work is wrapped around the idea that with climate justice half, if not all, of the challenges that children and young people in my country face can be eradicated. It is from this background that I feel the need to be a part of bigger forums like this, so I can learn how other people in other parts of the continent are driving their agenda and share ideas on how we can collaborate and work together to achieve our goals.

2068	IZABIRIZA	MOISE	KUURU SRT SPACE	Ntizimire Future Arts - Kuuru Art Spacehttps://www.kuuruart.space › ntizimire	BIOGRAPHY(IZABIRIZA Moise) I was born in 1992 in Rwanda. While I have been an artist my entire life, I have has been creating art professionally since 2012. I am influenced by many artists; however, I am a self-taught artist. As I have grown in my career, my work has become semi-abstract, abstract paintings and I also create art installation through repetitive and labor intensive techniques. I learned some of my methods, including weaving, sewing, rolling and twisting. Those techniques help me create fluidity and movement, allowing me to fully express my feelings in my artworks. Throughout my career, I have been motivated by the belief that “art has the power to heal people physically, mentally, and emotionally.” and also bring people together. With this belief in mind, I co-founded Rwanda’s leading art space “KUURU ART SPACE Kigali” 2017.This studio brings together the most skilled and talented artists from all over the country with the goal of making artworks to portray, develop and change lives through creativity. It is working to become a reference, and transform Rwanda’s art scene. I donate my time teaching arts and crafts to orphans and vulnerable children. I have also spent time working and volunteering at Rwandan orphanages and hospitals painting bright and playful murals that have been sponsored by both private individuals and NGOs. I have been participated in exhibitions localy and intenationaly	COVER LETTER September 29, 2022 Africa Climate Mobility Initiative youth forum Dear Sir/Ma My name is Moise IZABIRIZA a multi-disprinary artist and co-founder of kuuru Art Space from Rwanda, I am writing to you to attend Africa Mobility Initiative youth forum in Egypt which I found on YALI EMAIL Alumin email, I have over 10 years of related work experience, as well as a portfolio with many accomplishment, offering and creative achievements.

2069	Rowan	Ibrahim	Egypt-Japan university for science and technology		I am Rowan Ibrahim, 19 years old from Egypt. An Environmental Engineering student at Egypt Japan university for science and technology. If I could express myself in 4 words. It would be passionate, original, creative and Trooper. I am a passionate person who has a love of learning, works hard to help themselves and others, and will never give up on their dreams. I am an original and creative person who works hard to be unique and stand out. I am a Trooper who has suffered hardships but persevered and will always persevere. I have always worked hard on what I want to achieve. For example, I worked hard on my water producer and desert converter that led me to get accepted at Ebhar Misr and become an Ebhar Misr scholar(it is an intensive two-week course in a summer camp. This initiative was launched under the patronage of the Ministries of Education and Social Solidarity. “EBHAR MISR” – comes from the phase of selection of the young talents who dazzled the jury with their presentations.). Another example, when I was a fellow in Marj3. I became best fellow for 2 successive months. I am sure that I will Be a part of something that is bigger than myself. I would love to help other people and share my experience with them. Moreover, I take initiative. As I am doing now and what I did before, I joined blood donors club, was one of the photographers of the school, and joined a lot of other different clubs. I surely believe that I will never make people disappointed when they believe in me and put their trust in me.	In the summer of 2011, as I was watching T.V I saw a scene on the news of people in Somalia who were skin and bones. The people didn't have food, water, clothes, and hospitals, their country was ravaged by hunger and famine. For the first time, I felt my heart break in sadness. 9 year old me was naïve and didn’t understand the complexities of world hunger and drought. Seeking an explanation, I ran to my mom and she explained to me the meaning of famine. I asked her “Why couldn't the rich people just give them money to buy food?”, and to this day I remember her answer, “Money is not everything, there is nothing to buy and money isn’t something they can eat or wear.” Since that day, I have never stopped thinking about the people who need help everywhere and specifically in Starving countries. and Famine became the problem that I want to dedicate my life to. I decided that I want to open a non-profit charity to help them. And suddenly the quote “Don’t give me the food but teach me how to hunt” came to my mind. I knew that I shouldn't give them a bottle of water but teach them how to get to the source of the water. Besides, they do not have any sources except the air and the sand desert. And that’s how the “Exploiting the Environment” idea came to my mind. I decided that I want to open the charity with other environmentalists, engineers, and scientists, and invent a project by exploiting the environment in a benign way to eventually eliminate famine and world hunger. As I aspire to live in a world where food is available to all people and the starvation of the hungry world is depleted. And I already took the first step to make that dream true. I started a project from literally nothing- humid air. My idea was to produce water from the humid air and turn the desert sand into arable farmland so they have a source of water and fertilized soil. Accordingly, the sand converter idea will also solve the desertification and arid areas problem. Moreover, producing water from humid air was an extremely effective solution to adapt to this problem and situation. Besides that, I want to open a sustainable company with the name “Green”. The purpose of the company is to convert everything that we use in our daily life to fast degradable and sustainable materials. For example, use biodegradable plates instead of plastic plates. Another real example, is when I was in G10 I created a block using 4 recycling materials. This brick was cheaper, a water isolator, and bear a lot of weight. I have been a lot through that process but that made me stronger. The hard work on the project made me realize that I will not give up on my dream whatever happens to me. It made me more passionate about Environmental Engineering that eventually i got a scholarship to this major at the Javanese university in Egypt
2070	Anisa	Bek Derna	Project Mulan/ Fridays for Future Libya/ Let's do it Libya	https://nissabekofficial.wordpress.com/	Anisa Bek Derna, aka Nissa Bek, is a climate activist, change-maker, and media personality. She’s the founder of Project Mulan, a youth-led project that aims to achieve the UNDP’s sustainable development goals in Libya. Through Project Mulan, she created a TV show, a radio show, and a podcast to raise awareness of social issues and SDGs. Since its inception Project Mulan offered hundreds of young people in Tripoli aged 8 to 25 SDGs workshops, training, and campaigns. In 2021, Nissa was Libya's representative in Youth4Climate’s Driving Ambition at the Pre-COP26 in Milan. According to an article published by Greenpeace in the same year, Nissa is among 10 African youth climate activists changing the face of the planet. In addition to her personal projects, she’s also the national leader of Let’s Do It and Fridays for Future in Libya! Over her 9 years in Activism Ms. Bek has accumulated many honors and awards, the most recent one being the Diana Award. Nissa aspires to establish a presence as a young change-maker both domestically and internationally.	The negative effects of climate change are already having an impact on settlements and economic areas in Libya and are consequently influencing migration movements. The eastern part of the country is struggling with pollution-induced diseases and Cancer. The southern part is struggling with drought and western Libya is actively losing its Flora fauna along with general deterioration in crops and agriculture. With the huge wave of migration towards coastal cities such as Tripoli and Misrata, it’s easier to notice our water scarcity due to population influx. Only lately people are sharing concerns regarding the issue. I’ve grown up in conflict and I’ve seen what people are willing to do to take over resources and accumulate wealth even if it’s on the account of others. As I became more interested in Climate and how it affects states of conflict the topic of migration kept reappearing. Although it’s not my main area of focus it’s definitely a topic I care about as a former IDP and a climate activist. In the future, extreme weather occurrences will become even more frequent and intense, and temperature levels will continue to rise. These factors will have an increasing impact on disaster displacement, migration, conflict, and planned relocation and this is the core of the curriculum of my training program which over 2500 young people received over the past few years. I want to work hard to educate my people on the matter to assure that many people gain adaptation skills and enough knowledge on risk management. For 3 years I’ve worked on policy recommendations with many international Organizers and represented my country in pre cop among other high-level events. Despite the international community’s constant attempt to bridge between activists such as myself and government officials my community leaders continue to deny my work and don’t allow me to share my field expertise to develop a better environmental correction agenda in Libya. Here comes another COP which Libya is attending without a youth delegation. This year I’ve decided to search for an opportunity to attend COP on my own and be present despite not receiving state support I thought that this opportunity is suitable for me and that’s the source of my motivation to apply.
2071	Mercy	Phiri	Institute for Environmental management and Eco-development IEME	WWW.Facebook.com/mercy.phiri904	Phiri Mercy has worked for common market for southern and Eastern Africa Comesa in the climate division as well as the business development division with over 5years experience. Further, Phiri Mercy is currently running her own company in smart climate agriculture in the mitigation and adaptation measures of climate change in order to solve this global problem by keeping small livestock farming such as village chickens, goats, Perkin ducks, and Turkeys. Why small livestock, this is agriculture which has Climate change in mind and does not involve land degradation hence preserves soil erosion and controls the cutting down of trees henceforth preserving the carbon sinks as trees are Cardinal in the preserving of Carbon sinks and conserving Carbon sinks for good rainfall patterns as shotage of trees leads to bad rainfall patterns. Our project is providing good nutrition and reducing hunger and poverty without damaging the Environment as well as providing jobs for the locals in the remotest parts of the copperbelt .	My motivation for applying to become a delegate is because am already walking the talk to climate mobility as I am using less transportation and being more mobile as a human being as much as possible, I walk to work as it only takes me two hours to be at work on time or I cycle to work as it only takes me me one hour. My biggest motivation is to be a global leader leading by example as I reduce on my carbon emmisions and wanting to be a participant is mostly because I want to show my fellow youth that it's possible and we can achieve this if we really care for this one and only planet Earth that we have as we have no alternative planet B but only one Planet which we must guard jealously.
2072	David	Akomolafe	Delegation of German Industry and Commerce	https://nigeria.ahk.de/en/	David Akomolafe is a program intern at the Competence Center Energy and Environment (CCEE) at the Delegation of German Industry and Commerce (DGIC) where he assists in ongoing research and market study focused on energy access and deficit in Nigeria, alongside the adoption of renewable energy technologies. He is also an undergraduate student of chemical engineering at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), focusing on process control and design. During his spare time, he volunteers with professional bodies like the Africa Youth Caravan West Africa, Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) To drive common youth advocacy, he volunteers in a working group in CCEE aimed at writing a policy paper. He also carries out actions to address the risks and harness the opportunities associated with climate change in Africa as he volunteers for the SPE Energy4me program, where he educates and informs secondary school students on energy sources, renewable energy and how to bridge the energy access gap. He also volunteers for the Lagos Food Bank to carry out research to understand and curb the level of hunger within the state. Due to his interest in soft skills like Microsoft Excel and Power BI, he carries out ambassador lecture programs to educate his colleagues on the use of these software in increasing productivity in our daily tasks. As a team player, he has participated in different team sports winning some of the competitions like the AICHE Chemical Engineering for Good (ACE4G) 2021 where his team wrote on the Utilizing Biogas Generation: A Sustainable Means for Power Generation in Rural Communities, the SPE Nigerian Council PetroQuiz 2021.	It is quite obvious that our climate is changing as we witness extreme and devastating weather conditions. The Nigeria I grew up to know the two seasons of its tropical nature has been dynamic of recent, making the weather unpredictable and costly to farmers and all people. At the beginning of October 2022, Lokoja and it environs were massively flooded due to the unexpected heavy downpour of rain and the confluence of river Niger and Benue. This has caused residents to evacuate the location, meanwhile food and transportation prices has skyrocketed. As United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said, “The state of the planet is broken”. This calls for serious actions. Now, my colleagues and I set out to carry out enlightenment programs to help people most especially in floodplains on how to survive floods. We also educate the masses about climate change and how to fight it.
2073	Yousef	Abbas			i am a 4th year medical student now , if i can simply describe my life in a single word i would say it is "a changeable life" i grow up changing my Residency place many times due to the nature of my father's job these changes gave me the opportunity to meet different people, to learn about different cultures in a very young age, i was porn in Egypt and lived in Saudi Arabia and for some time i also lived in Sudan and currently i live in Egypt to continue my medical education and i am planing to travel to the US after that.	Since 2015 I was influenced and amazed by the Sustainable Development Goals that was made by the United Nations, and over 140 countries agreed and committed to the 17 life-changing goals to ensure the quality of life of people around the world, years later I felt like i got committed to one of the most important goals of the SDGs which is the health care, and I became able to see the big picture of medical practice, which is not only to provide the medical assistant but also to make a difference in people’s life, by working on many goals, and an interesting point of view that not everyone can see, is the fact that some of these goals are somehow interrelated to each other, and infact some of them are complementary to each other.one of the most important goals of the SDGs is to Organize Climate Action and achieving this goal will directly and indirectly affect the general health of the public. A Clean Environment Is Essential for Healthy Living, The more we don't care about our environment, the more it will become polluted with contaminants and toxins that have a harmful impact on our health, and since we are a medical students I believe that we are committed to many things besides medical assistant, one of them is to care about the problems that directly and indirectly affect the quality of life, As medical students and as future health professionals, we can use our knowledge, interests, and activism to improve the environmental health of our patients. And I have worked with the student union in the scientific committee and we have conducted a campaign in our faculty to raise awareness about the climate change effects, I also was a member in the climate change project in the Helwan medical student association , and I have wrote an article in the faculty’s magazine about the effects of the Pharmacy Factors’ waste on nature (all of this is mentioned in details in the CV). Finally, i see the COP27 as a great opportunity for me to learn more about the climate change, to understand more about the impacts of the disastrous behavior of the humanity and to discover the methods to help minimizing the future effects of it.
2074	Aderemilekun	Olusoga	Africa Centre for Energy Policy	Https://www.acep.africa	I am Aderemilekun Elizabeth Olusoga, a Nigerian lawyer, energy policy analyst and certified Climate Change Negotiator. I work with the Ministry of Justice, Lagos State Government, Nigeria, where I develop policies, contribute to the enactment of state and national laws, and represent the state on legal matters, among other responsibilities. I am a First class graduate of the Nigerian Law School, before which I graduated among the top at my undergraduate level (Olabisi Onabanjo University, Nigeria), where I bagged an LL.B in Law. I am currently one of just 2 (two) Nigerians selected as Next Generation Resource Governance Leaders (alongside other young African professionals) by the Africa Centre for Energy Policy, Ghana, to participate in a 6- month intensive program on climate change & energy transition as well as resource governance advocacy, with focus on the energy and extractives sector. My uncommon determination to go the extra mile, coupled with my capacity for sustained quality outputs, account for my excellent professional and academic records, which have made me a recipient of several awards and recognitions, a few of which are mentioned below:  Project Officer of the Year- Office of the Solicitor-General and Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Ministry of Justice (2021)  Award of Distinction for attaining First class at the Nigerian Law School- Olabisi Onabanjo University Alumni Association (2018)  Award for excellent leadership as the first female Law Students Society President- Faculty of Law, Olabisi Onabanjo University (2017)  Best Student Counsel- Moot and Mock Competition, Legal Magnates and Company (2016) Put briefly, I am on a quest to transform Africa- and the world- by employing the tools of law and governance. I desire to see Africa discover and apply practical and sustainable solutions to its environmental and resource governance challenges.	Introduction My desire to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 goes beyond just being afforded the means to travel to Egypt. This is because as the succeeding paragraphs portrays, I have a dire desire to make significant contribution to the climate change space, both as a negotiator and as a regulator. Motivation As a public-sector lawyer, I have at several times had to consult experts when advising on state dealings that border on energy, in order to provide climate and ecologically appropriate recommendations. Energy production is the cause of almost two-thirds of world-wide greenhouse gas emissions, and this overlaps with laws that regulate environmental protection. Lagos State is Nigeria’s largest metropolitan city with an emission rate of 26,443,656 tCO2e. The Climate Risk Assessment conducted with the support of the United Nation Development Program reveals that a total of 6,983 buildings are susceptible to the threats of flooding across the State. The implication of this is that many people may either lose their residence or businesses. In finding a solution to this, I have constantly been working at building my capacity on energy and climate-related themes, and the increasingly expanding risks that traditional energy have on climate, ecosystems, and the economy. At the root of climate change mobility is climate change itself. Initiatives have commenced in Lagos and in Nigeria to tackle climate change by decarbonising road transportation and promoting clean energy initiatives. This will transform Nigeria’s rural economy by expanding the income and climate resilience of 3.79 million vulnerable persons. Evidencing the steps I have taken to build capacity in order to help mitigate the effects of climate change mobility, is my selection by the Africa Centre for Energy Policy (ACEP) as one of just 2 Nigerian Next Generation Resource Governance Leaders (alongside other young professionals from other African countries), for a 6-month intensive training program on climate change, energy transition energy, and resource governance advocacy. In addition, the United Nations African Institute for Economic Development and Planning (IDEP) in August 2022, hosted a course on climate change negotiations for young African negotiators, in which I was a participant. I passed the examinations and was certified as a Climate Change Negotiator and a competent person in the climate change area. After the training, a few of the participants and I made a decision to start an African movement to carry out initiatives aimed at reducing climate change and mitigating its effects at national, regional, and international levels. Conclusion Nations rise and fall on the quality of expertise available to them. I sincerely hope to be sponsored by ACMI Youth Forum as a delegate for COP27, as I intend to employ the experience gained, to reduce climate change mobility and help Nigeria deliver its target of Net Zero by 2050.

2076	JoyMichelle	Githi	United States International University	www.usiu.ac.ke	JoyMichlle Githi a 19 year old student at United States International University -Africa passionate about climate change . Changes in climate in the recent two decades has seen the great shift in weather patterns and conditions . Needlss to say , the globe is experiencing a great rise in temperatures. Is it a matter of concern ? Definitely.You may have heard about the rising sea levels , resulting from the melting glaciers .The disastrous changes in climate due to hazardous factors such as pollution , industrial waste , burning of coal and many others. All these have resulted to extremely high temperatures , forest fires , droughts , floods etc. , all that have been witnessed all around the globe in recent months this year . I believe that COP27 will be chance for the whole world to unite in a fight against climate change ; not just for us but for the generations to come .	With the climate changing , temperatures are rising and devastating extremes of weather are occuring more often . We are all affected , no matter our geographical localations . The ones with the graetest vulnerailities are likely to bear the greatest burden ; the most vulnerable being children . This was my case just about 10 years ago , at nine years old , I had come into contact with climate change first hand . My geographical location was in the plains of the Ukambani region in Kenya . This region experiences extreme heat surges and extreme rainfall that more often than not leads to flooding as the region posses black cotton soil. My family was caught up in the floods , that would bring other hazards such a risks of bliharzia and typhiod , common illlnesses in the region . My parents in their wisdom sougt for us to move to the Mount Kenya region in the country, where we have resisded ever since. This is just one of the many untold stories of how climate change has affected the lives and livelihoods of many people in Kenya and across the globe. Becoming an ACMI Youth Forum delegate will provide me and many other youth a voice through my participation to assist and give innnovative ideas , to initiate and implement projects on clean energy , create social awareness on climate change , conduct capacity building programs on climate change , keep the surroundings clean while encouraging the recycling of wastes and be first in line to make policies and agreements on climate change .

Since childhood, I have dreamed of becoming a doctor to help people and make the world a better and healthier place to live in. But as I grew older, I slowly became aware of the obstacles we face in my country, and I realized that being a doctor is more than being a superhero in white coats! It entails taking an active role in our education and being trained to become qualified medical professionals who excel in Global Health knowledge and leadership. Hailing from a country like Morocco where the effects of climate change are more and more present and which has been identified as a very vulnerable country to climate crisis, made me always wonder -If I had to fight for that, what weapons would I pick? The answer is now clear to me: Advocacy, Research, and Capacity Building! Those are the most powerful weapons we have to improve in our society and environment to make this a better world. My motto since the day I decided to get involved in the research field is to make efficient actions and to have innovative solutions to combat locally this global health issue. 4 years ago, I was lucky to be part of the Moroccan Youth Social Entrepreneurs Camp and to be selected as a finalist in its competition. This experience is considered a true reflection of Social Accountability and Advocacy, with a concrete example in hand: my own Social Enterprise that works on the sustainability and accessibility of health in rural areas and raising awareness of Climate change and its effect on our health. I have always believed in order to fight the climate crisis, it’s so important to coordinate between different sectors, both public and private, and to create stronger links between educational institutions, health service delivery, governments, and communities. In addition, working with the International Federation of Medical Students Associations (IFMSA), being previously a delegate in the World Health Assembly and WHO EMRO Regional Committee and working also with other NGOs helped me improve myself and have a more spherical view of finding intelligent, efficient, and SUSTAINABLE solutions to combat climate change and its impacts. Thus, I am ready to give my all to be part of this opportunity and work with other passionate people to push this meeting to high levels! I am Yousra, an inquisitive person eager to learn as much as she can and an improvement seeker, greatly MOTIVATED to be part of this fantastic opportunity to pursue this path and fulfill what was once just a childhood dream. Because knowledge is power, sharing adds a great deal to this power!

He still has a journey in learning. He has a part time job at Horizon Chemical for a special Chemicals Company which is related to Chemicals of water treatment technology. He always strives to develop his skills by reading in references, basic courses, and online. Now he has activities in African Youth Initiative on climate change as a delegate, global climate change foundation as a delegate. He had volunteer Activities as Director of human resources management at smart team Alexandria University, he won climate leader hub competition and he is working as Research and Development at UCCD. Finally you can get his activities as mentioned in Cv.‎‏	‏‎Everyone knows that Africa is one of the continents most affected by the danger of climate changes in terms of floods, droughts and migration as a result of climate changes, for example, Cape Town and the problem of zero potable water and other countries. Africa suffers from many problems related to climate change, so it is necessary to shed light on the problems of our continent in Egypt, for example, it is necessary to generalize the technology of modern agriculture, such as hydroponics that conserve water. My interest in climate and the environment began when I joined the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and obtained a scholarship. After that, I joined more than one initiative to spread awareness to participate in mitigating the impact of climate change. I was an academic member of the Ecotopia initiative and participated in projects related to water pollution with plastic, I got second place in the Empower Hub competition and became one of the climate leaders 2030. I made a team working on sustainable water projects inside the university. Participated in more than five conferences in the field of sustainable development and water Now I am working on a research that will participate in the treatment of the problem of water and energy in Africa, which is how to convert quantities of salt water into fresh water and generate electricity‎‏
2080	Tarek	Ezzine	African Youth Climate Hub	https://youthclimatehub.org/	My name is Tarek Ezzine. I am a Medical Student from Tunis, Tunisia; a country belonging to the North of Africa as well as the Arab World. I have been living with type 1 diabetes since I was 6 years-old, thus identify as a person living with a disability. As a future Health professional and especially in a post-COVID19 era, my vocation is Health, Environment and Climate Change. At the end of the day, Environment represents the Air we Breathe, the Food we Eat, the Water we Drink. Its repercussions on Health are not only undeniable but also rising globally. I speak Arabic, French, English and Spanish. I am passionate about History, Philosophy and Politics and strongly advocate for Universal Health Coverage, Human Rights and Social Justice. I believe that the only reason for which the UN 2030 agenda speaks on and on about leaving no one behind, it is because today we are leaving so many people behind. Migrants, Refugees and Displaced communities are sadly at the frontline: ignored, forgotten, marginalised. In my latest role as Vice-President for External Affairs of the International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations, I was the spoke-person of the organisation, leading its Advocacy and External Relations and representing the voice of 1.3 million medical students' worldwide. As such I was the Liaison Officer to the United Nations, the World Health Organization and the World Medical Association as well as the Health Focal Point to many Youth Spaces such as the United Nations' Major Group on Children and Youth (UN MGCY), the International Coordination Meeting of Youth Organizations (ICMYO) and YOUNGO. I am also part of the African Youth Climate Hub and the Arab Youth Council on Climate Change. This experience allowed me to enhance my public speaking by taking part of different meetings, negotiations, and panels; develop my network by actively connecting with Member States and Non-State Actors; and expand my knowledge by navigating the Climate and Health milestones, processes, diplomacy and governance. This year, I have been selected as a delegate of Tunisia to the UNFCCC COP27 in Sharm-El-Sheikh, taking part for the first time to the State-Actors space.	Young people currently represent the biggest demographic in this world. Yet, our voices are not truly heard in the decision making space. As a Tunisian young advocate for Health, Environment and Climate Change, I am confident that the African Climate Mobility Initiative is a promising space for me to share ideas, opinions and thoughts to address the risks and harness the opportunities associated with climate mobility in Africa. Forced displacement results in a unique set of health needs as people go through different routes, inside and across borders, getting exposed to a variety of socio-economic, legal, and environmental challenges (eg Gender Inequality, Mental Health issues...). Addressing these needs and promoting the health of the forcibly displaced require a collective effort from the global community, an intersectional perspective and an inter-sectoral approach. Being part of the African Climate Mobility Initiative would allow me to be part of a diverse framework made by youth and for youth and aim to implement activities that improve the lives and livelihoods of those who suffer the most of the adverse effects of Climate Change. To me, such an opportunity will enable me to learn from, educate and empower what I believe are the true leaders of social change. As Vice-President for External Affairs of the International Federation of Medical Students' Associations (IFMSA), I had the chance to supervise many activities and to coordinate the Policy Making regarding the Refugees and Migrants' Health. As part of the African Youth Climate Hub, I work closely with young people from Africa and would like to work more on Climate Mobility in our region considering how extremely vulnerable It is to the Climate threat. Finally as an Official Delegate of Tunisia to the COP27, I am going to follow up and actively participate to negotiations that are extremely relevant to the cause, mainly Mitigation and Loss & Damage agendas. I believe this presents an added value to my participation to the conference even beyond my contribution to the Climate Mobility Pavilion. Unfortunately, being a student from this very region, It is very hard for me to collect the needed funds to be able to participate to the conference. I truly hope that I will be given the chance!
2081	benson	yooma			My name is Benson Yooma I am currently a second year medical student at the UNIVERSITY OF LUSAKA. I was born on the 13th of December 2002 in Lusaka town capital city of Zambia. I started my primary school education in 2009 at faithwood Christian school were I then obtained my primary school diploma in 2015. In 2016 I was able to be granted admission by a mission boarding school in my home town (choma of southern province) were I later then managed to graduate with a senior secondary school certificate in 2020. My father Mr. Ginwell yooma is a small scale farmer and my mother mrs. Prisca yooma is a head teacher at a community school in harmony. From the small proceeds my father is able to obtain from selling vegetables and fruits from the farm I was able to enroll into the school of medicine at the UNIVERSITY OF LUSAKA were am studying currently. I am a GOD loving and caring person, I feel happy and at peace when everyone around me is smiling. I assist anyone who needs my help as long as am in capacity too. Helping people is actually what made me to want to become doctor.	I and my family being farmers have actually experienced the conditions and challenges climate change has caused. In Zambia we have erratic rainfall because of climate change which has damaged the crop rotation cycle. It is not easy now to predict what the season will be like hence making it hard to select a crop to plant that particular season. For example, last year there was huge amounts of rain which then caused floods and killed 80% of our crops leading to massive losses and no profits from the work and investment that was put in growing those crops. Many people were affected by these floods in our community which forced many to cut down trees and sell them as a fuel source like charcoal in order to make up for the losses but that caused more deforestation, damage to the ozone layer and caused damage to the respiration cycle. I my self was affected badly the floods because due to the losses because of damaged crops I was not able to pay my tuition fee for this current semester and had to stay home. I and my father realized that the more people in the community cut down trees and burn wood the greater the impact of climate change, weather pattern would become more unpredictable making hard to grow crops it is for this we engaged in the planting of trees such as avocados and Moringer trees around the farm in order to promote afforestation and asked the neighboring farms to do the same as well so that we could at least impact climate change in a positive way. We started to educate everyone in our communities about the dangers of deforestation and the impact of climate change and encouraged them to practice echo friendly activities like planting trees. We faced a challenge when it came to convincing them not to cut down trees because charcoal is the only cheap fuel in the rural community, so we are now trying to find a cheap and environment friendly fuel source that our rural community can afford and use. Being selected for the COP27 Delegate at the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Forum will give me more knowledge and understanding about climate change, learn how to practice echo friendly activities that will impact climate change in a positive way and will allow me to educate my community on how new methods and ways of keeping the environment safe from the negative impact of climate change.
2082	Emmanuel	Okorwoit	African Leadership College, Mauritius		Emmanuel Okorwoit is an AKAD associate, peer mentor and mentee. He is junior at the African Leadership University, Mauritius under a full scholarship to study Computer Science, being among the 10 African scholars awarded the Patoranking schólarship. He is a lead research analyst on climate change and sustainability at Ambo Ventures. He is leading the Ambo research team in Kenya, working on both desktop research and primary research on Greenhouse gas emissions in Kenya and Africa at large. Ambo has published his research on Mapping Kenya’s carbon and biodiversity impact which can be accessed here. His work focused mainly on carbon intensive industries, cost of transitioning, the role of startups and the legislation set in place by the government of Kenya to achieved her Nationally Determined Contribution of GHG abatement by 30% relative to business as usual. More of his work is under review waiting publication on climate change in the agricultural and transport sector in Kenya. His biggest question has been his mission. It is how can he make agriculture economically viable for many smallholder farmers who are hard hit by the effects of climate change in Africa and keeping them in poverty? His passion and interest lies in using research to uncover the broken parts in the agricultural supply chain and help startups and innovations build human centered solutions. His north star is rooted in connecting with people and aligning ethos and belief systems to establish a deep connection. His main ingredient to achieve this is human willpower, connect with diverse young Africans and world leaders who share the same dream, who care, who are aware and who are ready to engage. He’s deeply passionate about data analysis and digital technology and how to use these tools to mitigate climate change.	For four months, I have been leading the research team at Ambo Ventures, mapping the carbon and biodiversity impact in Kenya. This has given me the opportunity to understand the state of climate change in Kenya and the different stakeholders in the ecosystem with their contributions; both positive and negative. I have seen the contribution of transport sector to carbon emission and the role of electric vehicle industry in Kenya for example. This has been first hand while doing my primary research in Nairobi Kenya in July 2022. The ACMI Youth delegate opportunity will set me to interact and bench mark ideas with global leaders who are veterans in this space. My motivation is to connect with these experienced global players, build relationships and get mentorship and guidance that will skyrocket my mission in contributing to GHG abatement. As a youth leader, I long for a safe planet. I believe the connection built through relationships built with leaders with shared visions will set me as an ambassador of climate change in Africa. I hope to get the cross pollination of ideas and experience with many climate change players. I hope to get challenged and gain diverse perspectives on how to handle GHG emissions even at the smallest possible way. My motivation is to learn from and also share ideas based on my first hand experience during my research. I am ready to engage.
2083	Jowaireya	Abd Al Rahman			My name is Jowaireya Osama, but I am usually called by nickname Gogy. I am 16 years old. I was born and raised in Egypt. To start, I can say that I am a responsible, enthusiastic and hard-working person. I like to receive and deal with challenging tasks and I reckon this is an aptitude of mine. I have been on a “30 day walking” challenge, and got a certificate and a medal from the Egyptian Ministry of Youth and Sports, as an appreciation for my hard work and commitment through the 30 days. In addition, I value leadership roles and like to participate in-group activities, nonetheless, I still manage to work efficiently by myself. For instance I have been on a court simulation international climate change program called Festival University where I was the ‘artists’ team manager, I managed to let the members work efficiently together, communicate, put tasks, finish them and eventually we won the case and the judges were also impressed. Furthermore, every time I think of giving up, I affirm and remind myself of my goals, where I want to be, and the person I dream to become. One of my dreams is to actually be a part of a massive change in the world, and that’s why when I saw an opportunity of a climate change related program but also international I did not hesitate a second to participate to help find solutions for a world crisis. I like communicating with people and getting to know new interesting individuals. Amongst my many skills, photography, dancing and editing are also included. I am artistic and cooperative in addition to being a fast learner and a hard-working person. I always try to come out with the newest ideas as creativity is very vital to me, I also work hard to achieve my goal and I always stay committed to it even if there are some discouragement around me. I participated in voluntary committees, and that helped grow so much as a person, improved my mentality, and think differently.	It was always a dream for me to be a part of a massive change in the world as change is necessary in every aspect of our life in order to improve our lifestyle. We should take the risk for making a change because it can give us new opportunities to learn or discover something new. However, change has to be well planned and thought of; to achieve what it should achieve in the world. It also involves having the awareness about the ever changing needs of people. For instance, finding a solution for the world crisis Covid-19. Firstly, a detailed research and studying for the change is needed, secondly, aligning the priorities and the goals. Lastly, believe in the change and speak up. Some people dream to be a part of a solution or a change but unfortunately it is not as easy as it sounds. Change is one of the toughest and bravest decisions a person can take during his lifetime. The best way to start driving a change is that change should start inside the minds of the people. Once you get people to change the way they think, they'll start doing things differently. Nonetheless, as previously mentioned there are some people who are typically resistant to change by nature. But as change makers it is our role to influence and motivate those people into thinking more positively and differently. I actually got the chance to take part in an international program called Festival University 2022 in Austria titled “Welcome to Planet B “ It is a collaboration with the Ars Electronica Linz GmbH & Co KG and the Johannes Kepler University At an international faculty, 200 students from around 70 countries explored the question of how we, as a global community, can deal with the effects of climate change. Guided by renowned international experts, they developed strategies and solutions and experienced the complexity of one of the greatest challenges of our time in a fictitious international environmental court.
2084	Marc	Tilley	Red Cross / Red Crescent Climate Centre	https://www.climatecentre.org/	I was born Stateless in Algeria, raised in the care system, and adopted by British parents, so have experienced first-hand some of the legacy and contemporary factors underpinning displacement and insecurity in the Global South, as well as the inherent structural obstacles facing people from the Global South in shaping their own responses. My upbringing prompted a lifelong sense of social awareness which I chose to pursue through Human Rights and International Humanitarian Action studies and practice; specifically migration, displacement and climate change. I wrote my thesis on EU/African Union cooperation in implementing innovative migratory pathways as a development tool, in the spirit of the Global Migration Compact, with a particular focus on community values and shared responsibility. I volunteered for two years with UNHCR as a French interpreter during migrant boat disembarkations where I was exposed to victims of climate-related displacement on a frequent basis. This reaffirmed my motivation to better understand and shape the relationship between climate policy and human rights, contributing to a robust international protection framework for people displaced by climate change and climate-induced conflict. From an early age, I also recognised that young people are the most affected by, yet have the least agency in shaping, the policies and processes which govern our lives. Nowhere is this truer than when it comes to how we treat the world that our future generations will inherit, inhabit and have to fix. For this reason, I resolutely believe in the power of grassroots activism as the most effective tool for social change, and I am committed to working in ways that listen to, and centre, affected communities. This means adapting the multilateral system to account for local, non-traditional and minority voices, with particularly focus on gender, youth and (dis)ability representation. At 15 I founded Cardiff Youth Council and became the inaugural Chairperson, with a view to creating a platform for like-minded young people to advocate greater participation in policymaking and to lobby for a reduced voting-age, ensuring that young people’s needs could be centered in local, regional and national discourse. In this capacity, I initiated the first national youth survey to promote dialogue on "votes at 16", eventually obtaining enough votes and cross-party support to have it debated in the Welsh Parliament. My work was directly cited in the private members' Bill which was passed into law, making Wales the first European country to lower the voting age and recognise young people as stakeholders to democracy. This campaign earned me an invitation to the 2015 InterAction Council of Former Heads of State and Government plenary, where I opened the event and presented my vision for democratic plurality and diversification to more than 40 former world leaders, so I am comfortable engaging and presenting ideas on high-level platforms. I thrive in small multicultural teams and relish the opportunity to learn from, and share with, likeminded young people as I continue to advocate for sustainable, youth-led solutions- competences I hope to soon apply as your Youth Delegate.	I have a comprehensive background in both youth-led advocacy, and climate-mobility action, spanning the Red Cross Movement, the UN system, and civil society organisations. In my current role as Migration Associate within the International Committee of the Red Cross, one of my core files is the climate-conflict-mobility nexus, where I conduct analysis and research to better understand the relationship between climate, conflict and displacement, including related humanitarian consequences, in order to support field delegations to operationalise the protection of vulnerable communities and enhance our mitigation and adaption activities with Movement partners. I am also working to make this work more accessible in my role as an inaugural member of the Red Cross Youth Advocacy Group on Climate, mobilising the Red Cross Movement's global network of young volunteers to coordinate global climate education on local adaption and mitigation. In my former role as Advocacy and Monitoring Volunteer with Mediterranean Rescue NGO Mission Lifeline, I managed the research dimension of our civil society maritime search and rescue operations in the Central Mediterranean, including conducting migrant-led reporting on displacement causes and trends. I had the privilege to share these findings with Her Excellency Amira El Fadil and present a proposal to the African Union Commission advocating for the greater empowerment of civil society and non-traditional actors in climate governance and international protection strategies as there is, unfortunately, no clear legal regime to protect those displaced by climate. Building on this meeting, I helped draft interventions on the challenge of growing climate insecurity to the 2020 UNHCR Executive Committee Session and the UN Network on Migration’s inaugural Regional Review. I then presented a paper to the joint UNHCR/Mixed Migration Centre Policy Workshop on international cooperation and protection gaps in the Sahel region. As a result of my regular exposure to those displaced directly and indirectly by the impact of climate change on human security and livelihoods, I have developed a deep personal conviction to use my energy and skills to elevate the voices of those who are most impacted. I resolutely believe in the importance of evidence-led, data-driven advocacy, in order to build sustainable, inclusive, localised action, and I relish the opportunity to support the ACMI's outstanding work in this area as your COP27 Youth Delegate.

I have 15 years of professional experience in the field of sustainable development from where I have completed several projects to fight global warming including: 1. Training and awareness-raising of more than 16,000,000 youth and women on changing attitudes to combat global warming. At the end of this awareness campaign, more than 63,000,000 plants (which will have a direct impact on more than 100,000,000 Congolese and an indirect impact on more than 350,000,000 Africans) were planted in terms of reforestation from November 2021 to September 2022. 2. Completion of the Maendeleyo project, which consists of training 10,000 women in clean cooking and healthy eating while empowering them in the Kasongo Territory. 3. Sensitization of the 37,000 war displaced in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo on their roles on climate. 4. I have also completed the projects of collecting plastic waste for the manufacture of paving stones from which I have already collected 28,000 tons of plastic waste for only this year 2022 in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo. 5. I have initiated, negotiated and secured from the government and some international partners a solar energy project from which a 50 MW solar power plant will be built by 2023 in the Kasongo Territory at a total cost of US$50,000,000 It will serve 180,000 households, including a population of 376,890. On behalf of this solar power plant, 50,000 tonnes of CO2 due to diesel will be preserved. All the population of the Province of Maniema estimated at 1,500,000 will benefit directly or indirectly. My participation in COP27 will be a better opportunity through the various climate discussions with climate activists and leaders from around the world to give me an exceptional experience for the success of my projects through the 7 associations without This is a profit-making purpose that is found in all parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo and has a direct impact on 97,654,457 Congolese.

2091	Ilham	NAJIB	Green Universities For Sustainibility	https://www.instagram.com/green_uni_4sustainability/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2F%3F__coig_login%3D1	I am a master student at Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, more specifically at the Faculty of Governance, Economic and Social Sciences. The master is entitled “Economic Analysis and Public Policy” which reflects my interest in solving public problems and helping different populations through the implementation of policies aimed at improving their living conditions. Hence my interest in climate change issues, as this problem concerns the whole world. That's why I am active in this field, I always try to be present in the initiatives aiming at raising awareness and finding concrete solutions for this problem. As I am an economist, I am also interested in the economic approach to this problem. For example, there are the policies of sustainable development that highlight the different economic tools that allow to control pollution and limit the effects of climate change such as taxes, subsidies, tradable permits... I have done several internships including the internship in the Regional Investment Center, the Ministry of Digital Transformation of the Administration, and the Ministry of the Environment. This last internship allowed me to have a clearer idea of the efforts that Morocco is making to fight against the effects of climate change. I did my exchange year at Koç University in Istanbul. I am also interested in sports activities, and I was the president of the sports office during my first year of master. I also have associative and volunteer work and I have participated several times in these works in the university framework.	Becoming an ACMI Forum Delegate for COP 27 will be a huge opportunity for a student like me to enlighten and share my experience as well in this field. Until today, I was involved in all the initiatives that are related to climate change and I was fully committed in Morocco to contribute to the protection of the environment. Actually, I am the treasurer of the NGO Green Universities for Sustainability in Morocco. This initiative was developed by my friends and I, a group of students within the university. The goal of this organization is to sensitize young people and the Moroccan and African population on the importance of climate change and its effect on our continent and the world. We have organized research days where we invited about twenty African experts who helped us to develop a charter for all African universities to make their campuses "creen" and "sustainable". We also aim to organize this year the first green summit of African universities where we will invite young people and leaders of these universities from the possible majority of African countries. Our NGO (GUS) organized in August the first edition of LCOY (Local Conference of Youth) in Morocco and it was an important event that brought together Moroccan youth motivated and committed to the fight against climate change and helped us in the drafting of youth statement. Our NGO was also invited by Youngo to apply to participate in the Youth Pavilion which will be in the COP27 for the first time. I was invited to a workshop organized by the Mohammed VI Foundation for Environmental Protection to discuss green nudges and how to make them concrete in the lives of students. I did an internship with the Green Energy Park of the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University which is an entity too committed to sustainable development and which gathers experts in the field. I represented the university in an event organized by the British Council at Ibn Toufail University where I highlighted the efforts made by the university and the different awards it has received. During my exchange year, I saw this issue of climate change from another angle, the Turkish one, by joining an international club that is interested in these issues. I also worked on a project with UNDP concerning the protection and conservation of water in African countries. I had the chance to be invited especially to an informal breakfast meeting with Gonzalo Muñoz, Chile's High Level Climate Champion by the British embassy in Morocco. It was an enriching exchange and full of new information presented by an expert in the field.
2092	Mariam	Shafik	Zewail City	https://www.zewailcity.edu.eg	I am an excellent senior aerospace engineering student. I am passionate about problem solving, puzzles, arts and design, coding, recycling, and handmade crafts. I am a woman-rights activist. Ever since I was a kid, I loved recycling fabric residuals to make dresses for my barbie doll, instead of buying expensive clothing. And when I got older, I got more passionate about recycling old clothes and fabrics to fulfill my needs of clothing and stationary. I am enthusiastic about using art and design creativity to make sustainable products/ services (homes, buildings, roads, energy stations, efficient vehicles, etc.) I thrive to make a healthy environment wherever I go; whether it’s my home, my collage, or a workplace. Healthy means equality, appreciation, professionality, and kindness. All are qualities I sought during my work and activities. I prefer simplicity to crowded technology. For example, building a sustainable home, instead of a box house with an extensive AC system, or using toilet paper to dry hands, instead of using an electric, mold-invaded blower. From my work experience, I take all these lessons home with me. I choose organic food, turn the water tap off when not needed, and I take great care of my paper usage. I pay attention to the special details that do make a difference and can cause disasters.	COP27 is a great opportunity to connect with great leader around the globe ad discus vital issues. I want to exchange cultures with people around the globe while discussing important issues facing our countries and ourselves. I want to learn how to manage my projects and keep extra attention to the climate change challenge. I seek an opportunity to collaborate with organizations and companies to foster ideas that help reduce climate change. I want to widen my international network. I want to be inspired. I want to come back home with great energy again to change the world (AKA, myself). I want to be able to speak my mind and discuss topics in a supportive environment, where I can reach a point and see something new. Because no matter how much I’ve learned in the past years, there’s always more to know. There is always a new perspective to see, and a new voice at the table. Because of all things, the one thing I am sure about is that I don’t know everything. And I want to learn as much as I can. In all my projects, I pay special attention to the “people” part and the “environment” part. I have tackled climate change in every project I have worked on since high school. From sustainable buildings to renewable energy stations, to recycling paper and making it from sugar cane leftovers, to making an irrigation and water treatment and recycling plan, to making a sign language translator that works on phones! From working with enactus 2019 in making a pottery fridge that uses no electricity, no chemicals, and causes no environmental harm, to designing a fuel-efficient car body in EVER 2021. I hope to work for a company that puts the environment over profit and is a valuable member to society and the world.
2093	Sara	Khereba	Cairo University	https://cu.edu.eg/Home	I am Sara Khereba, who is an active, ambitious, curious, and passionate researcher and climate activist interested in sustainability, SDGs, and climate change effects. I am always eager for more knowledge, always read to be aware with better information than I already have, I graduated from the Faculty of Science, Cairo University, in the Biotechnology/Biomolecular chemistry program, specializing in Bioinformatics, and how we can analyze the data and solve problems related to climate change with dry lab remotely from my hometown to places having those problems. I started a diploma in Bioinformatics and computational biology, learning how to think differently with good solutions in many programming languages, I attended workshops related to SDGs and climate change with ACC, the American Center in Cairo. I did many awareness campaigns in my university days to help the public know more about science, nature, and sustainability in a very simple way as I believe that everyone has the right to know about the universe to avoid bad and harmful behaviors that may harm the whole world, not only him or his country. I am a volunteer person. Volunteerism is a part of me. I am now a volunteer at the 57357 children's cancer hospital in Egypt, helping children and their parents to get rid of negative energy and vibes and helping them to enhance fast recovery. I participated with my graduation project mates in the Bioscience Medicine conference at Ain Shams University on the 5th of March 2020 as speakers, and our project ranked 10th place out of 85 projects submitted by the faculties of medicine, pharmacy, science, and biotechnology all over Egypt, and it was about "Studying Surface Modification Effect On The Toxicity of Metallic Nanoparticles." I am a hard-working person, From day one, during my university life, I worked on myself in different aspects. So I developed myself academically by learning the meaning of scientific research and how we can research, find a gap, and creative ideas, collect data, and finally write our own proposal. Then I could help my friends to learn too. In addition, I developed my soft skills, knowing my points of strength and making the most use of them and the points I needed to develop more. So I joined an NGO and learned how to present my work, projects, and myself and also communicate in a very good way. I did all that stuff with the moral support of my family, yet personally with no help from anyone, as I am the only one who loves science in my family, so I faced many challenges alone trying to overcome them as the scientific career is very hard, yet interesting. Furthermore, I have helped my colleagues to be involved in science by making the most use of it. At a younger age, when facing any problems, I immediately go, search, and learn how to solve or develop. If I find a person who could help me, I ask. If not, I try to overcome them by myself.	I really would like to actively join the COP this year. I have never had the chance to participate in a global event, which may help me to have a green thumb in my society, I want to learn on a large scale with professional climate activists and advocates, so I am applying to become an (ACMI) Youth Forum Delegate for COP 27. I want to learn how to manage those problems and their solutions, how to negotiate and get beneficial ideas for our universe, I think youngesters who are very active and have an influence in their small circle can achieve things beyond imaginations. To be honest, I hesitated a lot about applying to your form as I felt that I would never be accepted as I am still young and have not achieved anything major on a very large scale. I tried to help my community and the people around me as it was in my ability to do so, but at the last moment, I decided to apply and take the risk. Maybe I could join yours, learn, negotiate, participate, come up with more brilliant ideas and solutions, and also try to influence our universe. All that I have said shows that I am a multipotentialite and a hard-working person, serious about study, participation, and opportunities. I always accept the challenges and try to overcome them, and I am always ready to strongly help anyone for nothing, and I would like to become a better and greener world. I really appreciate your taking the time to check out my application, and I really want to participate. Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity, which should be reserved for the most outstanding and promising ones. Therefore, I am going to do my best to make a valuable contribution to the foundation and the world.

2095	UGABINEZA TEGURA	Fara Cecile	Dot Rwanda	www.dotrust.org	My name is Ugabineza tegura fara cecile and I am a finalist in Institut Catholique de kabgayi in the final level.

First of all Climate Mobility is when the actions of climate may lead to the movement of population inorder to go away from that change and what makes the motivation is that am able and capable to to become a Youth Forum delegate becouse in my every day life I am volunteer who always have the courages
2096	Catherine	Dunn	University of Cape Town - Green Campus Initiative	http://www.greening.uct.ac.za/	Aspiring adventurer. Environmental advocate. Soccer enthusiast. Pizza lover. Amateur language guru. Girl with the bun. Above all, I’m just a university student with big dreams! My name is Catherine Dunn and I am currently a student at the University of Cape Town in South Africa. Having lived on both the East and West Coast of South Africa, I have developed a love for swimming, surfing and marine biology which are some of the things I am most passionate about. As someone who finds it difficult to sit still, I am always doing something. From sports, volunteer work, leadership positions and my freelance business, every day is a new adventure. After high school, I embarked on a life changing adventure when I was awarded a scholarship to participate in a youth exchange program in Germany. Being part of the Fridays For Future Movement, joining Greenpeace youth and participating in activism initiatives made me realise that the power and responsibility to protect our land, seas, fauna and flora is in our hands. The future of our planet is in the hands of my generation. I have decided to take responsibility and make it my duty that we protect and conserve our environment because there is no "Planet B". Experiencing the power and potential of the youth of my generation has inspired me to become more active. I have been involved in many environmental and ocean advocacy initiatives, outreach projects, and leadership development, including being a trained education volunteer with the South African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds and the South African Association for Marine Biological Research. I once met a little girl who said she did not think protecting the oceans was important because she had never really see the ocean’s marine life when she went to the beach so didn’t understand how the life below the waters were affected by climate change. I realised that it was not necessarily that people did not want to help but that they did not have enough knowledge. I believe that education and knowledge is a power tool to fuel action and change. I cannot do it alone, but I have the hope that my generation as future leaders of the world have a chance. If we start acting now, together, anything is possible. The effects of climate change can be felt around the world. Here in South Africa, we are battling with extreme weather conditions, severe drought, wildfires, a decrease in ocean biodiversity, death and illness. This is a daily reality for people around the world, but we cannot pessimistic and gloomy. I choose to remain hopeful because I want to protect our planet in order for future generations to also have a place to call home.	Sir Robert Swan, OBE said, “The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it”. How often have we thought our knowledge and skills were not valuable enough? That the scientists, PhD candidates, governments and leaders will solve climate change? That we do not have an obligation or responsibility to our planet? That someone else will start action, the task is too big, too complicated or just a distant threat? None of this is true. Climate change threatens all of us but as an African continent, we are most vulnerable to its effects yet often yet often underrepresented in climate activism and dialogue about finding solutions. The extraordinary opportunity to be an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 would allow me to add my voice and support and represent the voice of South Africa and our continent Africa. COP27 is one of the most important international climate change summits in the world. Featuring leaders, governments, global experts in climate science, renewable energy, and sustainability, youth groups, climate change activists and an incredibly diverse group of individuals from around the world to discuss global climate problems. This is an opportunity for unity, action and catalysing positive change. I believe that being a representative and delegate at this summit, I will embark on an immersive journey, meeting new people, gaining knowledge and experience, representing the voice of Africa and most importantly, developing skills that will equip the next generation of leaders with the tools to create meaningful change and seek out pragmatic solutions in our communities, universities, organisations, schools, governments and countries in order to benefit our planet, the place we call home. As citizens of this planet, I believe we all have an obligation to protect it. I would also like to confirm the fact that age, race, gender, religion or place of origin does not discriminate or exclude you from the effects of climate change or the responsibility each and every one of us has to fight against it. Accountant, doctor, pop star, student, you can and should be an advocate for the environment which is a huge goal and responsibility I will achieve from being an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27. I wish to be a part of the solution. Wangari Maathai said, “…If we cannot sustain the environment, we cannot sustain ourselves.” I find this quote profound because our focus on economics, politics, international relations and all other challenges the world faces often overshadows the focus that we should be having on the environment as it is something we all share in common regardless of where people are coming from. I believe that we should start paying more attention to environmental issues which is why I stand with Elizabeth Wathuthi, Greta Thunberg, Nkosi Nyathi and all the other activists who are fighting to bring attention to this global issue that affects every aspect of humanity. The youth of Africa deserve a seat at the table. It is time for our voices to be heard!
2097	Castello	ZODO	ONG JEUNESSE ET EMPLOIS VERTS POUR UNE ECONOMIE VERTE	Facebook : ongjevev	Climate activist and committed to youth issues, I have been working since 2016 with youth organisations in Benin but also in the diaspora. I have 6 years of experience in training, sensitization and education of young people on climate and environment. I have 4 years of experience in international development on knowledge sharing issues. During these years of experience and training, I became familiar with the world of youth in my country, but also worked with state organisations in my country, including the Ministry of Living Environment and Sustainable Development. I have benefited from several youth programmes, including the Young African Leader Initiative, the Friedrich Ebert Foundation's young leader programme, which enabled me to be identified in 2020 as one of the 25 best young people in Benin, and the Konrad Adenaeur's young leader training programme, which also enabled me to be part of the 25 best young people in the sub-region in 2022, So that I can redistribute this knowledge of regular participation and organise training sessions for my peers on the issue of civic engagement, climate change, deconstruction of perspectives. My investment in the outreach of youth as a development actor led to me being noticed by the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and being invited to work with the 8th World Youth Economic Forum at the UN headquarters in New York to discuss the global challenges of youth inclusion and how they can collaborate across countries to be presented at the high-level policy forum in July 2019. I also participated as a policy delegate in the 14th UN Forum on Forests. I have received a number of awards and distinctions that reinforce my commitment and determination in my daily work. These include laureate of the Transforming Education challenge launched by UNICEF, Ureport, the Yoma and GoodWall platform, 2nd in the Actor of Change 229 competition in the climate change category in 2022, 1st prize in the Blue Economy competition organised by the Benin National Water Partnership in 2018, laureate of the Diana Award 2019, which distinguishes the best young people in the world for their actions in favour of environmental protection; identified among the 10 best young people in Benin at the Ten Outstanding youth person of the Junior Chamber International in 2019, member of the team that received the 2nd prize of the international competition Prophetic Economy in November 2018 in Italy, making Benin the first African country to win this prize, the second prize of the competition Talents of the 19th in Porto-Novo initiated by the Ministry of Energy in Benin the prize for the Best Actor in Environmental Protection at the Best Environment Leaders Awards 2018 in the category of best organisation involved in environmental protection and the prize for the best youth organisation in the field of the environment 2018 awarded by the GNINDEHOUE foundation.	My participation in COP 27 is based on the premise that it is more than obvious that the actions of young people should be brought to the forefront of the climate change transformation process. For a long time, the perceived idea that young people take part in the COP to have fun has persisted and has left its mark on young people, particularly those in Africa. So one of the first objectives of my participation is to be able to take part in the beginning and deconstruct this thinking about African youth. This participation will allow me to make the voice of young people heard during the debates but also to share the skills of young people in Benin through their achievements. In addition, I will be looking for funding for youth projects. There is no doubt today that the actions of young people need support and guidance. Given that all the actors involved in the field of environmental protection will be presented, the second objective I am pursuing is to be able to establish partnership links around the activities of young people in Benin. In order to do this, I will be tracking the organisations I have met before going to the COP. Finally, I would like to take part in the decision-making process in order to bring the contribution of young people from my country to the decision-making table. Indeed, we young people must make sure that the decisions taken during this COP should not be a hindrance to our development. Since we are the main beneficiaries and actors of these decisions. They cannot be taken without us. As a young person committed to climate justice and the environment I work with AMNESTY International Deustchland on the climate justice campaign with a cross-section of southern perspectives. In addition, I have conducted impact assessments of climate change projects, including the evaluation of the tri-national project between Benin, Senegal and Germany on climate change. My experiences of working with UNDP on the consultation of young people on their aspirations for the SDGs in order to collect their needs for improvement gives me the necessary skills for this position. I can conduct debates in French and English and therefore speak at the various side events I will be taking part in, as well as conduct negotiations and build partnerships with previously identified organisations. . Thus, in a transformational process of the world, more space must be given to young people to express themselves, to claim their rights, to propose solutions of resilience and adaptation of their community to climate change. Going further I would say that youth participation is more than crucial for the survival of humanity. Because if the decisions taken are in line with the realities and needs of young people we will end up with a climate consequence gap that we could not afford.

My vision for this project is that combating climate change will reduce the spread and prevalence of infectious diseases like malaria in tropical and sub-Saharan Africa. Climate change and excessive temperatures serve as favorable breeding grounds for disease vectors like mosquitoes. My goal for achieving this project is to promote good health and healthcare through reliable and appropriate climate action. I am also a member of the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) Network which is aimed at fostering personal development for achieving community development goals. This program prepares young people to become leaders of change in their communities through leadership development, global citizenship, self-awareness, and vision planning. The program team, mentors, and mentees all work together to impact communities through innovative ideas and concrete projects, hence truly accomplishing the purpose of Local Change Through Global Exchange. Also, To take action on promoting youth and community engagement through structured and collective realization of the Sustainable Development Goals.
2103	Lujain	Reda	Climate Live	https://climatelive.org/, my pic is featured on the website https://climatelive.org/team/	Lujain Hesham is an ambitious young woman who is always searching for what she wants and goes for it. Once that goal is met, she has another one. She doesn’t take “no” for an answer. She has a clearly defined strategy and can effectively communicate it. She grew up in in the capital city of Egypt. Currently, she is finishing her last year as a high school senior at the Nile Egyptian Schools where she spent her whole school life at. Choosing a field to major in at university was one of the most challenging tasks she has ever encountered. Deciding whether it is the right career path for her or not didn’t go smoothly as she had expected. Nevertheless, she has finally decided to opt a degree in Artificial Intelligence in the second semester of grade 10. She started seeking for several summer programs and courses to develop her skills and to enrich her portfolio as she is willing to apply for multiple scholarships. Her strong adventurous spirit and outgoing personality which make her always push the limits, take risks and be competitive is what support her in the process of finding new programs and information, moreover, she is fond of exploring and discovering new wild aspects of life. One of her highly admired personal qualities is the constant desire to develop her skills and improve her traits to find out what she is capable of doing. Besides, she has participated in a human development course to alter the way she perceives and deals with most things. Additionally, it is worth mentioning that she acquires the ability of lateral thinking and digging continuously for creative ideas. Also, she is a natural-born leader as she was always selected to be responsible for group projects as well as for organizing events for her unique social skills. In July 2022, she applied in a global summer scholarship program concerned with Climate Change called Festival University Program in Linz in Austria and got accepted in it. This program is what turned her life upside down. The program welcomed 200 students from over 70 countries around the world for 28 days in Linz to explore issues as to how we - as a global community - can address the effects of climate change. This event was to her a once in a lifetime opportunity because it didn’t only broaden her ideas and altered her mindset. She started, but also opened for her other precious chances to grasp. In September 2022, she was contacted by the Climate Live organization to be the national coordinator of the organization in Egypt to assist in the preparations of doing a concert in the COP27 event in Sharm -El Sheikh process like finding accommodation for the whole team and contacting some Egyptian singers etc. Therefore, she is exerting her utmost effort to produce outstanding results and to prove herself among her team members and to make the whole concert event happen in COP27.	I hope that I can fulfill my goals, thrive in my field, to put what I have learned in good moral use for myself and to benefit and help my country. Anyone can make a difference; it just takes the right attitudes and decisions and one of them would be by joining your reputable program. To start with, it would be a huge step for me to indulge in this program as it will be an exceptional addition to my CV. Also, I’ve read that by joining your program I will exchange ideas and benefit from leading experts who come from all over the world and their expertise covers a wide range of topics, so that assures me that it would be a bright start to my career path. No to mention the fact that my eagerness to participate in the climate change movements and aid my society grows by each day that passes. I got accepted at the Festival University Scholarship Program in Linz in Austria which was concerned with exploring issues as to how we - as a global community - can address the effects of climate change and develop strategies and skills to let our voices and actions be heard and seen. After finishing this program, it really did motivate me to take a step in giving a hand to support the climate change movements and organizations. It made me realize how much power we young adults have and that we must take a stand and put our skills and education that we have in good moral use for ourselves and for our people. That’s why I am exerting my utmost effort in educating my self about the global issues that we are facing and especially in climate change mitigation and seeking for guidance to aid me in taking my 1st steps to benefit the society. Also, I believe that it is worth mentioning that I recently was endorsed as the National Coordinator of Climate Live Organization in Egypt , so this is absolutely an incredible opportunity to aid my organization as well. What’s more, I believe that by being a part of your program I will acquire a new mindset and the skills valued in any profession. The thought of participating with an organization aiming to change the society is bewildering and it would be an honorable and an unforgettable experience for me.
2104	Fatima	Mohammed	Medical Students International Network Sudan (current), was part of International federation of medical students' association		Fatima Mohammed is a 5th year medical student at Khartoum University, Sudan. She has a deep interest in global health research, climate change, SDGs and meaningful youth mobility and participation in the decision-making process. She held several leadership positions: External Affairs Regional Assistant for Africa in the International Federation for Medical Students Association (IFMSA) 2021-2022, Activities assistant in Students Network Organization 2020-2021, National Public Health Officer in Medical Students International Network Sudan, Neglected Tropical Diseases Project Coordinator in Medical Students International Network-Sudan, local public health officer in Khartoum Medical Students Association 2019-2020 and Program coordinator in Sudanese Childhood Diabetes Association-youth office.

Through her journey, Fatima developed strong skills like leadership, project management, strategic planning, advocacy & research and scientific writing. She aspires to create a community with no discrimination, full of equity and prosperity in terms of health and meaningful youth participation.	Dear reader, My name is Fatima Mohammed, a 5th year medical student from Sudan and it’s my honor to apply as ACMI youth forum COP27 delegate. Growing up in a country with high rates of floods and extreme temperatures which impact our economy, physical and mental health makes me question the reason behind the lack of global commitment towards addressing climate impacts on health. As a medical student, I organized an activity that targeted 1,079 community members who were affected by Sudan floods to increase their awareness about the climate crisis, health risks and provide the necessary medical care for them. Still, thousands are being affected every year, which opened my eyes to the fact that global and multilateral actions are the key to addressing climate change. Therefore, I served in the International Federation of Medical Students’ Association as external affairs regional assistant for Africa, where I mobilized African medical students from more than 30 countries to advocate for SDGs including climate change and contributed to our federation advocacy action in climate change and health through attending the 74th, 75th World Health Assemblies and UN HLPF as an IFMSA . Additionally, I participated in coordinating ECOSOC and UNECA side events about the role of youth in post-pandemic recovery to address climate change, which was an interesting experience to share perspectives with advocates and experts. During my participation as non-state actor representative, I noticed that we lack member states’ political commitment who are contributing the most to climate change. On the other hand, the developing countries with limited resources can also contribute to planetary health recovery If they sustain their advocacy and follow “The Green New Deal”. After reading Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report I have became curious to learn more about countries’ strategies so I worked as an intern in the global climate and health alliance. In that experience, I searched for climate change declarations by governments and health organizations and I found a lack of strategies in Africa and EMRO regions. As I believe in the importance of sharing experiences with diverse advocate, I joined Women in Planetary Health Leadership Program through awarding a scholarship, an experience that capacitated me more about the core values of being a transformative leader in planetary health. During COP27, I want to use my experience in youth advocacy in Africa raise our voice in climate change negotiations, furthermore networking with delegates from all over the world will capacitate me more about the decision-making process in UNFCCC from a multilateral perspective and solidify my advocacy skills to raise youth voices all around the globe about post-pandemic recovery in climate action with a central focus on meaningful youth engagement.
2105	Esraa	Elsayed Abdelafy Mohamed Salem Elnahas			I graduated from the Faculty of Sharia and Law at Al-Azhar University and got a master's degree in Economic Sciences and got a diploma in politics from faculty of African postgraduate Studies, and I am currently 27 years old and work as a lawyer and economic researcher, and interested in sustainable development and love of volunteerism.	I'm very interested in sustainable development and climate change issues. I was a member of the Utopia Initiative, through which we have been awareness citizens about climate change and its causes. I also graduated from the Be Ambassador initiative of the Ministry of Planning and the National Institute of Governance and Sustainable Development in Egypt, which aims to produce trainers to train and awareness citizens about sustainable development and its goals. Currently I am establishing an initiative that aims to educate and empower people. As for Africa climate mobility, I have been interested in it since the initiative was launched Because I feel the suffering of the victims of climate forced displacement, and I hope that decisive action will be taken to save their lives.
2106	Aarinola	Quadri	SOCIETY FOR ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION (students chapter)	https://www.ser.org/	I'm Aarinola Quadri a 20 year old Changemaker and a young visionary . I'm currently a student at the University of Lagos,Nigeria studying ecotoxicology and conservation, zoology. I'm an advocate of Climate change and an SDG'S enthusiast who believes in the innovation and research of sustainable solutions to the most common problems in my territory and the world at large. As a result of my passion for change and orderliness in the world, I intern and work with a couple of organisations which belief systems ,goals, visions and missions align with mine. I'm the current Acting secretary of the student Restoration Chapter of the Society of Ecological Restoration at the University of Lagos Nigeria, where i bridge the gap of communication of enviromental issues to ignorant people and sensitation of current rising threats in the environment and how to curb them . My contributions to the environment which have been recognized regionally included being the spokesman and speaking representative (of SER) for Enviromental issues & awareness, at the University of Lagos Radio FM, Lagos, Nigeria. Special duty officer and team lead for the world cleanup day organisation in my city, Lagos, Nigeria. I've also served as a climate action advocate for the Youth Sustainable Development Network at the 2020 Youth sustainable Conference on sustainable Development Goals achievement. I also leverage my creative writing and speaking prowess for sustainable development and climate action. In a few years to come I see myself as a global leader creating impact and making policies and decisions that would improve the world and advance development especially in African countries.	According to 2022 Statistics, my country Nigeria ranks 18th in the top 20 world's most polluted countries, with the city of Lagos my home as the 2nd most polluted area in the country. In the Month of June there was a massive flood at Orile Agege Area Lagos state in Nigeria that destroyed lots of properties and in which two people were declared missing. This is so sad and heartbreaking for me as the effects of our acts are not too far fetched from us as a developing country. Effects like Flooding, climate change and diseases outbreak especially for people living in low-income communities. There are even recent discoveries of my country losing exotic breeds of species in the ocean due to indiscriminate pollution and other anthropogenic activities. From my past research, involvements and contributions in the environment, I've come to realise that major causes of these are ignorance , lack of empathy and poor governance. To be very honest, the government can't even do everything as they also need the cooperation of their people, but how can they even get the cooperation from the people that are ignorant and have not been educated on the needs for pollution alleviation? So I see myself coming in as a bridge between the government /organisations and people , especially young people to communicate climate education and awareness amongst them, who are suffering from constant flooding, air pollution related diseases and weather instability due to their ignorance. My target areas are the younger youths and children as they are the future of tomorrow. When they are taught what is right from their prime, it becomes easier to abide since they know the reason for the actions they're being called to adhere to. I see this conference as an avenue to gain unprecedented knowledge and access to tools that can help me create the change, communicate the values, knowledge and attitude the younger ones need to tackle climate change and achieve sustainable development.
2107	Aminat	Adebayo	Planetary Health Alliance	https://aminatolaitanadebayo.disha.page/	Aminat Adebayo has a strong passion for environmental sustainability, working with cross-functional, international organizations targeted at promoting a sustainable planet. She has been an active participant in the Planetary Health Alliance ( PHA) since she was accepted as a 2020 Planetary Health Campus ambassador. With her skills and exuberance, she has worked tirelessly over the past two years to foster and grow a planetary health network, both on and off her campus at the University of Ibadan. As a two time serving President of the Planetary Hub, she continues to participate in global call to action on planetary health, and served as one of the co-authors of a planetary health children’s book currently on the publication process. Aminat is a member of the Canadian Coalition for Environmental and Climate Justice (CCECJ) where she currently serves as a blog writer of the organization. With the zeal for team participation and leadership, Aminat led a team that was selected to participate in the Global University Climate Forum in 2020 leading to the Children Against Climate Crisis (CACC) to empower young people on how they and their communities can reduce the scope and severity of climate change. Aminat’s team was selected to be included in the final publication, “The Knowledge Sector: The role of Higher Education Institutions in addressing Global Environmental Challenges,” which was significant enough to warrant an introduction by Patricia Espinosa and next steps by Christiana Figueres. As part of her selection for the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI), She led a community impact project and trained 200 secondary students on the topic of environmental health challenges throughout the duration of the initiative. Currently, she served as a fellow of Climate Smart Nigeria- Climate Leadership Fellow imparting knowledge on students across secondary schools in Nigeria. A published author with several articles in reputable journals, she enjoys writing and has utilized her writing skills to promote climate and environmental sustainability. A versatile public speaker, she has been nominated to speak on issues around planetary and climate change by several universities including University of Griffith, Austria, University Of Ilorin, Nigeria and Brunel University, UK. She has also moderated talks for radio stations and TV channels raising awareness on climate change, impact and mitigation. With a flair for writing, she has published more than 10 publications and recently, her two abstracts got accepted to be presented at the Planetary Health Alliance Annual meeting happening at Harvard University, USA. Her abstract also got accepted at the Society of Environmental Geochemistry and Health happening at University of Eldoret, Kenya. Aminat Adebayo’s works stems from the point of passion as she has always wanted to be the change the world needs. She aims to use herself as a positive catalyst and focus on solutions that will allow to navigate towards a sustainable future.	Global Environmental problems are incredibly overwhelming, and Nigeria is one of many African countries impacted by environmental challenges. Environmental concerns continue to worsen pre existing socio-economic stress, poverty, insecurity, and hunger. As a member of Planetary Health Alliance and co-ambassador for West Africa Regional Hub, one of the questions I try to answer Is how do we explore climate adaptation and resilience in the face of imminent environmental risk. With my various research in planetary health and climate change adaptation, I aim to find solutions and positive catalysts that will allow for sustainable navigation towards a sustainable future in Nigeria and across African countries. I am currently working on “KitsonEarth,” a project endorsed by Planetary Health Alliance, Harvard which is aimed at empowering people, mainly from local and indigenous communities through seminars and workshops on how to upcycle wastes into durable materials while making money from it. Moreover, Nigerians have experienced an increase in cooking gas prices since the reintroduction of the 7.5% federal tax on the importation of liquefied petroleum gas, which has led many households to resort to using unclean and unhealthy cooking fuels like firewood and charcoal. A major contributing factor to global warming is the release of greenhouse gasses from these fuels. As someone with a background in Agricultural Extension and rural development, local and grassroot communities remain largely excluded from the continued development and climate adaptation. They continue to suffer from climate sensitive issues, loss of livelihood and gross inequality. My work in Oyo State Community Social Development Agency (OYCSDA) continues to prioritize grass root communities as key contributors through training, advocacy and campaigns. Learning! Connecting! Engaging! Building and sharing good practices! remains key motivations for me in being an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27. ACMI supports youth-led and youth-focused action to drive common youth advocacy. They also cultivate the opportunities associated with climate mobility in Africa and address the potential risks. Being present at COP 27 in person will allow me to build professional skills by connecting and engaging experts in the field of climate and environmental sustainability. I believe garnering the requisite knowledge and experience from this conference would further strengthen resolve and potentials for climate adaptation solution Also, my role as a journalist and my department’s Editor-In-Chief has further improved my writing skills which would enable me to give a detailed report, case analysis on the COP 27 event to engage more people. Through participation and invitations from media houses (Radio and TV channels), I have proven public speaking skills with natural transition for engaging audiences. If I am able to attend COP 27 I would be able to bring the exceptional writing and speaking skills into use acting as an African delegate during the COP event and after. Interested in the dynamics of how human activities affect the environment and its resultant impact on planetary health and species’ survivability, I currently have a charted path for planetary health, and environmental sustainability.

Louise works as a Community Engagement and Youth Advisor, focusing on women's rights, climate, and reproductive justice. Louise has worked as a project manager in the education sector and is a multi-award award winning activist and campaigner. Louise holds a BA International Relations and a BA Honors in International Politics from the University of South Africa. Louise is motivated by her lived experiences to advocate for feminist and refugee rights through civic engagement from a Pan-African perspective. Louise is a Mandela Washington Fellow and Diana Award Winner. Louise was selected as one of the inaugural group of frontliners by the We Are Family Foundation.	I work as a community engagement and youth advisor specialist- I facilitate workshops with youth led organizations on innovative technology and processes that can be created and used to gather and disseminate information and services to communities regarding sexual reproductive health and climate change especially in conflict prone Eastern DRC where rape is notoriously used as a weapon of war. I am currently training civil society, military, police and other law enforcement of the Maputo protocol, even though the DRC ratified the international treaty in 2018, its adoption and implementation has not been adequately communicated to juristic and law enforcement channels. Thus creating a substantial disconnect when it comes to sexual reproductive health access and justice. I hope to use the experience from COP27 to accelerate the incorporation of climate change education and policy into the work that I do. COP27 will also give me the opportunity to present my lived experiences on a global platform, and to amplify the voices of climate refugees. I am an advocate for African women and girls and I want to be certain that we are visible and heard at COP27. Women and girls disproportionately bear the brunt of climate-related events and environmental stress. Research shows that there is a direct link between climate change and gender-based violence. I am eager for the opportunity to learn and engage with experts, grassroot activists and my peers. I work on programs with internally displaced people due to climate change and food insecurity caused by droughts in DRC and its implications on sexual reproductive health and sexual violence. In a landscape altered by climate change, a longer walk to water may increase their vulnerability to sexual violence .A family facing severe hunger may sacrifice their young daughter for transactional sex or early forced marriage. These factors are exacerbated when migration is added to the equation. Climate refugees and migrants face an added layer of xenophobia and abuse due to the lack of recognition by governments and migration/refugee laws.

I am also presently working with Klin kamer as the sectary general and	My motivation towards applying to become an ACMI Youth FORUM Delegate is that the trend at which climate change has increased in the world over the past few years is a call for concern. in my country, Cameroon, the high temperatures in the Far North and North Regions has greatly affected the the finances and source of livelihood for many. This is because the very high temperatures kill plants and so no yield is ontained and for others whose source of livelihood is animal husbandary, the high temperatures which affects crops also affects animals because cattles mostly feed on grass and in the absence of the grass,the cattles will die of hunger. The high temperatures in that area also causes water scarcity because most of the rivers and seas gets dried off. However, inhabitants of that area have developed climate adaptation mechanisms such as storing water in Carmels. a greater part of the population in that area goes as far as migrating to bigger towns such as Douala and Yaounde to search for greener pastures and a more comfortable life. I really wish to be an ACMI youth Forum delegate so i could learn more about climate change and ways to combat it and implement all what I have learnt in my country , Cameroon and in the world at large .

Being Part of the COP27 is a dream come true, I have been a climate activist for over a decade and now is the right time to connect with others who share the same thought and at the same time invest and grow even more on reasonable ways climate change can be slowed down. And after the summit I hope to triple my impact with my already existing projects and work on climate change. Organising an Education campaign in schools for youth for climate change has accelerated my understanding on people's approach to our changing climate. When we piloted the campaign we noticed that 6 out of 10 people are not interested about the climate change talk and are overwhelmed by other issues of life and 3 who care are not willing to do anything with just 10% of the people interested to make a change. But after 3 months the narrative change as people are often time convinced by how consistent they hear about a thing. Because the information one lives with determines his or her daily action and reaction to life's work. We grew and had 40% willingness rate of youth who we talk to and right now are part of our clubs and are Pioneering cells of the clubs in their classrooms and departments a strategy to get the information to 10,000 students who we educate to act consciously about the changing climate by the end of 2023.

My motivation for applying to become a Youth Forum delegate is borne out of my interest on climate- related issues, as an environmentalist and a Conservationist. Climate change has impacted so much on our natural resources, with Africa being the most vulnerable in terms of impact. Our landscapes, food and water systems have been so negatively affected by these climate events, our air is badly polluted, making us prone to airborne diseases. These have resulted in low agricultural productivity, loss of biodiversity, loss of livelihoods and extreme poverty. For these reasons, it will be my joy as a Conservationist to be part of this community to learn better ways of adaptation and mitigation of climate change.
2118	Cebile Valencia Fakudze	Fakudze	Hlumisa Eswatini and The Rock of Hope Eswatini	https://eswatiniclimate.org/hlumisa/	I am an individual from Africa (Eswatini) who identifies as non-binary currently working as the Communications & Advocacy Officer at The Rock of Hope Eswatini an LGBTIQ+ non-profit organization. I have a Bachelor Degree in Economics and Statistical Mathematics and I am currently intending to pursue a Master’s Degree in Environmental Economics hoping to gain more knowledge on climate finance. My passion for the environment and climate change has me currently working with YOUNGO as CCP (Country Contact Person) for COY17, a volunteer with the outreach reach for the GYS (Global Youth Statements) and also the DL (Delegates lead) in Eswatini. As the delegates lead, I am currently assisting the youth in Eswatini with applying to attend COY17 as delegates, and with those that will be accepted, I will therefore then proceed to assist with acquiring funding, seek accommodation on their behalf and sort out VISA issues with the assistance of the YOUNGO team. Also as a CCP I am attending the hackathons hosted by YOUNGO for the GYS and assisting with its write up. I have had the opportunity to attend the Nairobi Summer School on Climate Justice and in the next few days I will be travelling to Ghana to attend the Summer School on Sustainable Mobility. I am an individual that is truly passionate about climate change and is determined in becoming the first climate finance analysts in my country.	What has motivated me to apply to be a delegate is my work that I am currently doing with YOUNGO as a contact point person for COY17 and a volunteer for the outreach team for the write up of the global youth statement. I am having the opportunity to interact with youth movements in my country others that i was not even aware of in the beginning and through this, I am getting to hear what the youth is going through and what demands the have towards the global north. I have had the opportunity to go through a number of trainings such as the Nairobi Summer School on Climate Justice and the Summer School on Sustainable Mobility which will be taking place in Ghana from the 9-18 of October which I will be attending in person, and I believe will equip me with all the knowledge one will then come back home and disseminate and educate the youth in my country on sustainable mobility as the county and the world at large is currently suffering from the effects of climate change sustainable mobility is the solution or mitigation measures that we can take . And also, I would love to represent my county Eswatini as a delegate of the ACMI as I believe that my country is a county that has been greatly affected by climate change. Eswatini is a developing country in Africa that is currently fighting for democracy, a county whose people greatly depend on agriculture to make a living that is through the growing crops and keeping of livestock for selling purposes and to take care of their families. Due to climate change, the people of Eswatini have not been able to reap much from their fields due to the lack of rainfall and the lack of greener pastures feed the animals. with little to zero assistance from the government the is the need for Eswatini to seek for climate justice and climate finance for youth movements to step up and come up with innovative was to assist those in need and suffering from the effects of climate change that can be funded through climate finance finds from other counties or private operations that are willing to invest in innovative ideas. I believe i am at the right position because I am aware of the needs of the youth in my county an as delegate, this can give me the opportunity to amplify their voices and needs. My confidence and ability with public speaking is what also motivated me to apply to be a delegate.

2120	Arwa	Salah	Agricultural Genetic Engineering Research Institute	http://www.arc.sci.eg/InstsLabs/Default.aspx?OrgID=15&TabId=0&NavId=7&lang=ar	My name is Arwa Salah, I’m graduated from faculty of science, department of Biotechnology/ Biomolecular Chemistry, Cairo University (Egypt) with GPA 2.376. Now, I’m a master student in my second year at plant genetics department in Tanta University (Egypt). Currently, I work at Agricultural Genetic Engineering Research Institute (AGERI), Agricultural Research Center (ARC), from 2019 as a researcher assistant in molecular genetics field. During my job and as a master student, I developed experience by being a team member in international collaborative projects between International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) and AGERI (Egypt)entitled “Egypt Wheat DNA-fingerprinting based impact study”. Also, currently I’m a team member in a current national project entitled: “Smart Molecular Breeding: The Next Generation for Wheat Improvement for Salt Tolerance without Genetic Engineering”. In addition, I acquired an outstanding skills like observational skills, accuracy in following procedures and keeping records, technical and computer skills, critical-thinking skills, data analysis, ability to manage time and prioritize tasks, DNA and RNA isolation, PCR techniques, and Agarose Gel Electrophoresis. I published research entitled: “molecular mining of leaf Rust Resistance genes in Egyptian wheat” in the Plants journal “IF:3.9”.	I feel passionate about climate topics, and they always grab my attention, lately, I have had many concerns about the climate issue. I think this is a very important case that people should turn their concerns to. As many people think, the climate crisis doesn’t affect the weather or the geography of the land only, but unfortunately, it has a bad impact on every aspect of life like agriculture, the economy, geopolitics, lifestyle …etc. It’s good to identify the problem and deal with it appropriately, and to manage in doing this, it’s important to feed people’s awareness about the importance of tackling such problems. Therefore, I’m involved in national and international cutting-edge projects, that study the effect of Biotic and Abiotic stress and diseases which is a major climate change consequences on a variety of plants on the genome-scale. I would like to say that a place like COP27 will be a great opportunity to meet and engage with many people who have a wide range of knowledge and experience, and a different way of thinking, so, with all of that I will be able to deal with multiple nationalities and different types of people and be able to understand the other point of view and accepting the differences of the others. On other hand, the climate topics are addressing very important issues for the whole world, so, it will be a good chance to discuss with different people, the leaders, the thinkers, the scientists, business people …etc, so this will make me broaden my horizons, and reshape my thinking while enhancing my career profile, and set new goals in my work path and my life.
2121	Percy	Reynolds	Green House Project		Percy Reynolds is a 21 year old boy who had his high school IGCSE education (scoring straight A’s) in Brainy Bairn School, where he was a science student, and is currently taking a gap year before seeking higher/tertiary education. He is very much into science, math, sports, community service and climate activism. Back in school he was his sports section leader, school football team captain, STEM club coordinator, and an active SRC member. This young talented Ghanaian boy won many prizes for academic excellence including the highest achieving award in both the Cambridge Checkpoint Exam and Cambridge IGCSE exam. After completing his secondary school education, he has gone on to not only make major contributions to his community, but has also gone on to do his possible best to impact the world at large because he is one person who believes that everyone should make a victory for mankind before leaving the world. From March 2020, to February, 2021, he started a community watchdog club that patrolled around the neighborhood every evening to curb and control the sudden rise of theft in the community. In august 2019, Percy started a community clean up initiative with his family of 4, and has been cleaning his community, clearing dumpsites and distilling gutters ever since. His vision is to be able to invent a machine and chemical (perhaps a compound of lithium nitride since it reacts with CO2 to produce two useful solids (C3N4 and Li2CN2)) that will be shot up into the atmosphere in rockets at vantage points and react with the excess carbon dioxide in the air, to stop climate change and global warming. Since a project like this needs a sophisticated lab and significant funding, he has, in the meantime started the Green House Project. The aim of this innovative project is to plant trees in homes instead of the cliché “by the road style”, so as to ensure that the trees are taken care of by the household residents. Since its commencement in august, 2021, Percy has planted 235 trees in 103 different homes. His vision and mission is to plant at least one tree in each one of the 8.3 million homes in Ghana in the shortest possible time.	I live in a country where I neither wake up to the melodiously harmonic chirps of the nightingale, nor do I wake up to the beautiful natural synergy of trees growing and clean water bodies flowing. I live in a country where I wake up to the unsynchronized ruckus of excavator sounds, screams and gunshots. I live in a country where trees are felled every day and habitats are being destroyed to facilitate this illegal activity. I live in Ghana where galamsey (illegal mining) is claiming the little vegetation we have left, promising doomsday: a future in which heat waves become an everyday occurrence, desertification spreads like a pandemic and babies are born with missing body parts, forcing citizens to flee to other countries. With Ghana being underdeveloped, our biggest contribution to climate change is not the cliché excessive release of greenhouse gases through the production of electricity and goods but, the mass destruction of forests due to galamsey. In 2010, Ghana had 7.00Mha of natural forest, extending over 30% of its land area yet, as of 2021, we have lost, 101kha of natural forest, equivalent to 62.9Mt of carbon dioxide emissions. Greatly impacting the northern part of the country, this has caused average daily temperatures to increase by 1.5% in the last 30 years and odious desertification to take place, turning significantly huge areas into arid land with a general shortage of water and rainfall. This has meant that 1 in every 5 northerners have fled to Accra (in the south) in search of greener pastures. In addition, this odious illegality has destroyed 90,000ha of cocoa farms and 800 waterbodies. TreeAid, the Nature Conservancy and other organizations are doing their best to solve this global phenomena. However, climate change is a worldwide emergency and every single person needs to act accordingly because every single person has contributed to the destruction. As something that affects one directly, affects others indirectly, I have waged a war on climate change and in my own small way, since September, 2021, I have planted 235 trees in 103 different homes under my Green House Project. My vision and mission is to specifically target the 8.3 million homes and at the earest minimum, plant at least one tree in each (my project is in homes because there, the trees will be taken care of and protected). Getting the highly coveted opportunity to become an ACIC youth forum delegate will give me the opportunity to finally add my voice to the urgent and important discussion of climate mobility on the world stage. I would get the opportunity to meet and reason with other delegates who share a similar vision of a green planet and hopefully get volunteers and support to help expand my Green House Project to achieve my dream of 8.3million more trees planted in Ghana as quickly as feasible and possible.
2122	Patricia	Shomide	University of Ibadan		Patricia Shomide is an energetic, creative, and innovative individual who constantly imbibes diligence to achieve set goals. She is currently a Millennium fellow and a final year Forestry Student at the University of Ibadan. She is a native of Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. Patricia is so passionate about advocating for Sustainable management. She believes in making her environment safe and free of hazardous substances. While at this, she has garnered experiences in the field of climate action through her active signing up for volunteering and internships. Most of her experience in the field of climate action was achieved through her active signing up for volunteering. By volunteering with the University of Ibadan Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Hub in 2018, she participated in promoting the SDGs on her campus and inspired students to take action to mitigate the effect of climate change. This activity significantly increases students´ awareness and commitment to improving the overall condition of the University. Furthermore, she is also a member of the Junior Chambers International Tree Planting Team as part of her goal to educate people about climate change. She was able to reach out to 20 schools in Ibadan, and she helped plant various tree species like Tectona grandis (Teak), Cashew, and Orange while instilling a sense of sustainability in the students by teaching them to plant and turn waste items like plastic bottles and sachet water nylons into valuable materials. In 2019, she participated in a competition to solve the problem of flooding in Ibadan, Nigeria using Agbowo-Barika Street as a case study, an area with a high concentration of students. Individuals were encouraged to adopt and uphold the 3Rs of waste management: reduce, reuse, and recycle. Beyond volunteering for several Organizations, she interned with the Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria (FRIN), Jericho, Ibadan, Nigeria, where she researched on the Nauclea diderrichi trees at FRIN Arboretum to know their resistance to wind flow. She is currently working on a project, titled “Bioquette” where she has trained over 100 youths on the production of a safe and economical source of fuel, Briquette. Aside from Volunteering, she is a GIS and Remote Sensing enthusiast. She enjoys singing, reading, watching movies, and interacting with people. She is working towards becoming an expert in Forestry and Sustainability.	While growing up, my parents instilled in me the importance of sustainable management and wise energy utilization. They taught me the dangers of not doing so and how these actions contribute to some of the world's current environmental issues. When I was accepted into the University of Ibadan to pursue a course in environmental science, I had a deeper understanding of the situation. I developed a significant interest in climate change and planetary health while studying Forestry at the University of Ibadan. To satisfy my curiosity, I volunteered and interned with various organizations, corporations, and institutes. The outbreak of Corona Virus disease further triggered my curiosity to learn more about Climate Change. On this note, I write to express my interest in being an African Climate Mobility Initiative Youth Delegate at COP27. I am convinced that being a youth delegate at COP27 will expose me with further understanding of planetary health and climate change and assist me in my future career of being a conservationist and an advocate for sustainability. The experience gathered during the conference will assist me in achieving my career goals by exposing me to various valuable skills to promote human health and accelerating actions on mitigating climate change and promoting environmental health. I will also have the opportunity to meet with seasoned leaders and experts.
2123	OKIKIOLA	OYELOWO	National Youth Service Corp	https://www.nysc.gov.ng/	I am Okikiola Samson Oyelowo, born on the 17th of October 1996 at Ile Ife, Osun State Nigeria. I I'm born into the family of Mr and Mrs Oladele Oyelowo, A local farmer at Osun State Nigeria. I am the first child of the family with other 3 siblings. I had my primary school education at Pioneer nursery and primary school Ilorin Kwara State Nigeria between the year 2000 and 2009. I proceeded to have my secondary School Certificate at Glorious Vision International College Ilorin where I became the assistant Head prefect and graduated in the year 2015. In the year 2016 I began my Undergraduate degree at Federal university Oye Ekiti Nigeria where I had my bachelor's degree in political science in the year 2021. During my undergraduate degree, i served as the president of National Association of Political Science Student and at the same time a sustainable development advocate. I am presently serving my country as a Youth service Corp members in Ekiti State Nigeria as a community development worker and social change agent.	In the era where the world is not static, everything changes likewise the climate mobility. I live in a space where the climatic condition changes with every breath, temperatures across the globe are on the rise which is devastating to human existence with little to no positive response to changes to regulate it for the betterment of all humans and every living organism. The issue of climate mobility is not a one-man business it is a thing of major concern to every stakeholders on planet earth. As an individual striving to survive and break barriers in life I can boldly say I have experienced both the good times and the worst with climate mobility. The most unpredictable thing in life is climate, it changes at a glance without prior notice. Vulnerability to climate change is inevitable but could only be managed. A direct experience I had with climate mobility that shook me to my root was based on my farming business, as a young and vibrant individual I have been into the agricultural system at an early age where I engage in various crop production and animal husbandry; there was a time where my farm got ruined due to unpredictable climate change, been young and naïve I could not salvage the situation at that moment and it became a regret and a more reason why I became very interested and concerned with climate-related issues. My vision is to help young ones, especially people aspiring to work in fields mostly affected by climate mobility develop strategies and resilience to scale through every difficult moment encountered with climate mobility I am motivated to apply to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegated for COP27 just because I want to saddle myself with the responsibility of being an advocate for climate mobility, since climate change is not evitable by humans, I will like to become an advocate against every human activity that influence climate negatively. The adverse effects of climate mobility on our planet majorly result from human activities that deplete the climatic condition of our ecological space. I am passionate that my voice and earnest contribution to the movement towards climate mobility will save our earth and millions lives from negative consequences of climate mobility such as drought, famine, and numerous natural disasters that renders people homeless and helpless. I believe that, given the platform by ACMI Youth Forum, it will be a great opportunity to exercise my experience with climate mobility to bring about change in the ecological space I inhabit. I earnestly hope to lend my voice to the voiceless in moving campaigns against irregular human activities affecting our climatic conditions.
2124	JONAS KANNYIRI	NAADERI	Songyong Centre for Youth Development		I grew up in a small village called Issa in the Upper West Region of Northern Ghana. I, together with my younger sibling were born to a Peasant farmer by Name Mathias Naaderi and a Seamstress mother by name Regina Dorzie. At the age of 10years, I encountered the untimely demise of my mother. I undertook my basic level education from 1996 to 2005. I furthered my education to the secondary level from 2005 to 2008 at St. Francis Xavier Secondary School, Wa in the Upper West Region of Ghana. I then pursued my graduate (2009-2013) and post graduate (2015-2017) education in Development Planning at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi, Ghana. I am so much grateful to my father, Mathias Naaderi, whom through his petty harvests and labour activities financed my education. I also appreciate my benefactors and sponsors who facilitated the pursuance of the various levels of my formal education. Currently, I am with the Local Government Service in Ghana working in one of the rural communities. I also facilitate the running of a newly registered NGO called Songyong Centre for Youth Development located in the Upper West Region of Ghana.	I emanate from North-West Ghana in a geographical area called Daffiama Bussie Issa District. Under the District League Table 2021, the district is the poorest in the Upper West Region of Ghana most especially in terms of potable water consumption. In my personal recount on climate mobility, I am experiencing the greatest blow in my life as a result of climate variability. The populace of my community has been exposed to wavering drought as a result of the global encounter of climate mobility and the proximity to the Sahara desert. The settlers including myself are compelled to resort to the available convenient open Wells water sources for consumption leading to the contraction of water borne ailments and mental health diseases. I was recently diagnosed of typhod which further culminated in brain lesion and subsequently seizures. These health hazards are traceable to my consumption of unsafe water from the wells. It is prudent to advocate for the countless citizenry within the drought prone and air polluted communities of my district and region who are exposed to similar mental health and air pollution predicaments as a result of climate change menace. It is in the light of these health issues that I strongly desire to be a part of the Youth Delegates for the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) of the COP27 in Egypt in November 2022.

2126	Madiba	Darry	University of The Gambia	www.utg.edu.gm	I am Madiba Darry, a final-year university student at The University of The Gambia in my twenties who is very passionate about the climate change and promoting a means for people to understand how our daily lives can change or effect our climate. On September 3 and 4, 2022, I participate in the Glasgow Climate Pact, and I also attend the first-ever Generation Connect Global Youth program in Kigali, Rwanda, in early June 2022.	On September 3 and 4, 2022, I took part in the Global Center on Adaptation (GCA) Youth debate on Adaptation Action: Delivering on the Glasgow Climate Pact. This greatly encouraged me to participate in climate change initiatives, which I believe would allow me to put what I had learnt about climate change into practice. I am a university student who is really concerned about climate change and believes that it is the only solution to the world's problems. I took part in the first-ever Generation Connect Global Youth program, which discusses a variety of global challenges and how we could use technology to address them, in person at the beginning of June 2022 in Kigali, Rwanda. There, one of the primary goal is Using technology to address global issues was discussed at the conference, which included ideas for technologically advancing efforts to combat climate change. I was able to learn about the connection between climate change and technology here as well. I am also a member of the University of The Gambia environmental science club, which promotes and puts into reality methods to combating climate change including cleaning up our surroundings, planting trees, and informing people about the dangers of pollution. As a result, I think that this summit would be a good opportunity for me to learn about climate change and the environment and to share what I have discovered.

2128	Kaitochukwu	Chukwudi	Society of Petroleum Engineers, NAU Chapter	www.spe.org	Kaitochukwu Favour Chukwudi is an Energy Sustainability enthusiast with a background in Chemical Engineering and a vast experience in Environmental Sustainability, Climate Action and Cleaner Energy Forms, all of which have afforded her the opportunity to learn, grow and develop her capacity to drive positive change and also, impact the lives of others. As a result of this, she has actively volunteered and is still volunteering with numerous organizations like; Slum and Rural Health Initiative, Women in Renewable Energy Association of Nigeria, Society of Petroleum Engineers and the likes, so as to contribute effectively to societal growth and development and overall, the attainment of the sustainability target of the world. Currently, Kaitochukwu serves as the Technical Interest Chair of the Society of Petroleum Engineers in her school and this has enabled her the platform to mentor the young generation on how they can drive positive changes for good climate action. This has also given her the opportunity to carry out sensitization programs, the recent being a “Walk for Life” at the Ifite community of Anambra state, where she alongside a group of people walked round this particular community enlightening its inhabitants on the adverse effects of environmental pollution, how they can be affected and what structures they need to put in place to curb this act. Overall, Kaitochukwu is a meticulous leader and also, intellectually savvy which has led her to receive numerous awards over the years. Some of these awards include; the Exceptional Young Woman Award which was presented to her during the International Women’s Day and then, the 2022 Girl in STEM Leadership Award which was presented to her at the just concluded Society of Petroleum Engineers, Nigerian Annual International Conference and Exhibition. In conclusion, Kaitochukwu pushes for service, value and impact in all that she does and she is always ready to give back to society.	Having resided at Port Harcourt, the capital city of Rivers state, Nigeria, I am immensely motivated to be making this application to become an ACMI Youth Forum Delegate for COP27. Due to the intense exploration, drilling, flaring and production activities that go on in this area of Nigeria, I had a bad time living there. The atmosphere of this area is completely covered with black soot, leading to the loss of lives, habitats and adverse climate effects, which spurred the need for climate mobility for I and my family. Experiencing the pain, struggles and instability this predicament brought inspired me to drive for a positive change in my own little capacity. That is, I currently work with a non-voluntary organization, Kids Being Kids, that provides clothing, food, shelter and education for kids that have been displaced in the northern region of Nigeria due to bad climate conditions. Asides this, I volunteer with the Slum and Rural Health Initiative where we carry out sensitization outreaches in communities experiencing negative climate impacts and we also help to proffer adequate solutions where necessary. I look forward to contributing and participating in discussions in the COP27 that are aimed at promoting environmental sustainability and good climate actions. I will also love to learn from the professionals and youths in this program and also, foster partnership collaborations that will further enhance the work that is already being done towards climate and environmental protection. This will also be an amazing platform where I can connect with different cultures and lend my voice actively towards contributing to the future of my nation. I will love to come back from this program and give back to my nation by implementing means and strategies where we can work on first, that area and then, the whole Nigeria.
2129	Grace	Kamau	University of Nairobi	https://www.uonbi.ac.ke/news/uon-students-emerge-1st-runners-yobic-competition	Grace Kamau is a Fourth Year, Petroleum Engineering Student that wishes to use innovation to solve the world's pressing challenges. Kamau is the President of the Society of Petroleum Engineers at the University of Nairobi, who's primary aim is to develop sound principles and skills to enable a healthy growing learning workforce. She is passionate about energy transition and carbon sequestration in mitigating against rising GHG. The Petroleum industry is unregulated and has since long encouraged global rising temperatures. This is seen where larger, more developed countries bypass international agreements to assert dominance in the market, and displaying due negligence on other OPEC members. Grace Kamau would wish to meet with large oil marketing firms, such as Shell and BP, through COP 27 and having learnt and contributed to the conversation, begin a conversation about sustainable production and operations. There is a lot to be done in the Oil and Gas Industry, Grace hopes that countries from her home in the EAC, may adopt these sustainable practices for a healthy but productive venture into the sector, that . Kamau's wishes for Kenya is that as a country, they may adapt to climate change they must not bypass internationally agreed regulations when joining the industry. Her wish is that the Kenyan people may begin to use energy more efficiently, start to think about off-grid solutions and be knowledgeable on waste management, especially e-waste. Moreover, Grace Kamau is an engineer with a heart for the world, she has founded AGRISOUL, a social venture that hopes to employ Kenyan youth by streamlining the gig economy around agriculture for export. The most unique and exciting part of AGRISOUL is producing the first-ever thermal battery in Africa! Competing with countries like India, that have great master of engineering concept and design thinking, AGRISOUL will be the first for the African climate, utilizing solar energy, to counter the effects of post-harvest loss. Through an energy efficient system of harvesting and transporting produce in a portable cold room, Kamau believes that millions of Africans will re-imagine the future of work around agriculture and begin to produce nutritious healthy food for the people. Innovation makes the world a simpler place to live in, and innovators the ideal students of the world. Kamau believes in continuously learning sharing and solving African issues. She has experience debating world issues through Kenya MUN, a simulation of the United Nations. Kamau has also organized capacity building events for the University of Nairobi through Hult Prize to empower students to believe in themselves, collaborate and create the opportunities they sought after. This mindset of challenging the challenge and diving head-first into problem solving is what will influence the student leaders, and youth leaders of today to effect change in their own capacities.	I am motivated to attend as an ACMI Youth Forum delegate because I am an innovator and can delicately breakdown issues concerning adaptation, displacement and migration of the African people as a result of climate crisis. I have followed up and read about the African Union's agenda with regards to Climate Mobility, however, there is still much to discuss that was not included in the report, especially surrounding agriculture and opportunities in these volatile seasons. Being a University student is a privilege in my country and in fact most African countries, this is a chance for me to study and work on research at East Africa's best university. University of Nairobi is best positioned in Sub-Saharan Africa where the effects of climate change and crisis are felt most dearly. In attending the COP 27 my agenda would be to bring the conversation back home to Nairobi and challenge my community to fix the issues raised and addressed by the initiative. I will then organize a post-conference dialogue with my East African counterparts as well and create an action plan which well reflects what we had discussed as a delegation. I am a great team-player, I love when people come together with an agreed agenda, attending all seminars would be a must for me, I am motivated to learn, network and represent my beautiful country. I aspire to grow my business to create these learning and employment opportunities for the displaced Maasai in southern Kenya, that have battled to cope with this climate crisis. I believe that our East African problem is compounded throughout Africa, there a lot to consider, learn and strategize in fully harnessing the potential of mobility. I am convinced the ACMI delegation would require an analytically thinking individual that can critically asses our findings and build a comprehensive report of our discourse. My ultimate goal is to support the African continent to realize her full potential, rise from the ashes of climate-forced oppression, foster conversation on people-centered adaptation, uphold resilience and confront the climate crisis head on.

2130	Frank	Koomson	Alliance for Empowering Rural Communities (AERC)	https://aercgh.org/	My name is Frank Koomson and I am 25 years old. I am a Ghanaian and I currently reside in Accra, Ghana. I speak English as an official language and Twi as a local language. I graduated from the University of Ghana with a First-Class Honours Bachelors Degree in Geography and Resource Development with Political Science: my favorite courses were Weather and Climate, Transportation Studies and Environmental Politics. In addition, I have done a couple of research and project works such as GAYO — IntellSol Project, The Waste Gobbler Project, etc. I worked as a Town and Country Planning Officer at the Ga West Municipal Assembly head office for a year as my National Service. Moreover, I have volunteered for over four (4) climate change related, youth focused and youth led organizations such as Green Africa Youth Organization (GAYO), United Youth Initiative for Africa (UNIYIA), Alliance for Empowering Rural Communities (AERC), 350 Ghana Reducing Our Carbon (350–GROC), etc. I have volunteered and participated in programmes such as Local Conference of Youth 2021, Climate Clock, Pre-COP 26, Post-COP26 and the Global Just Recovery Programme. My hobbies are research, reading and writing. My daily motivation is that “our fight the environment is a fight for our future”	Living in Accra, in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana for over ten (10) years in an area named Fise where flooding is prevalent, people have to relocate every now and then. Flooding has been a canker for this community as many people migrate day-in day-out to and fro as a result of displacement. However, it is obvious that Climate Change and improper waste management contribute largely to flooding and its detrimental effects on these locals. Consequently, I teamed up with the other colleagues to come up with the Waste Gobbler Project. This seeks to collect solid waste from water bodies, sort them out into metals, plastics and organic waste for recycling and compost. Our project won a cash prize of GHS 10,000 as we came third in the African Climate Adaptation Innovation Competition. This was a milestone achieved since it sought to catapulting us to coming up with a more innovative concepts and making impact in our society like solving the flooding issue. Selecting me as a delegate for the Climate Mobility Pavilion (CMP) for COP27 will give me the opportunity to share my story and as well as learn from other delegates. I believe this will give me a platform to also add my voice to the fight against climate change and it’s devastating impacts.

In her words “sustainable eco friendly commerce is achievable and can be the new normal”. The Ecofriendly store has since then provided Nigerians with alternative to single use plastic and a more earth friendly option. Her rich experience as an Engineer, Environmentalist and Entrepreneur continues to be an inspiration and a source of motivation to people around her to contribute their quota in making the world a better place.	As a girl child in Nigeria. I have experienced one of the severe impact of climate change . Growing up, whenever it rains, the water would be so enormous that to go out to school would be a problem. I would remove my sandals and walk barefooted in the flood to go to school. I did not know this was as a result of climate change. My leg would sweep past plastics floating in the dirty flood and I would even kick them like a ball. Going as an ACMI delegate to cop27 would further help me tell my story to a larger audience of how Nigeria is very vulnerable to climate change .

She currently sits on the Board of Inspiring Girls Now in Technology Evolution (IGNITE) Worldwide Gender Equity Initiative as the Board Secretary where she prioritizes climate advocacy and innovative use of technology to build climate-resilient solutions. She holds a first degree in Pharmacology and other certifications and has also completed a course in Data Science with Coven Works as she believes that data drives social good and occasionally contributes knowledge about women as an open-source contributor on Wikipedia. In 2018, she engaged and built youth and women capacity in sustainability as a Canvassity fellow of YDI and NED, USA. In 2019, she mobilized and activated youths to understand their roles towards achieving the SDGs with OSSAP-SDGs, DEAN Initiative and World Largest Lesson. In 2020, Elona was inducted as a fellow of the Friedrich-Ebert Stiftung (FES) Open Minds, Young Voices (OMYV) Youth Activist Programme through which she engages in social justice and women issues. In 2021, as a youth speaker for the iTAGe, she also dialogued and co-authored a policy brief on Deepening the Culture of Peace and Democracy Through Education by UNESCO MGIEP and CHDST.

She's also a fellow of the Travel for Change Youth Development Program. Elona has also played pivotal roles in other projects such as those in polio advocacy (through Rotary Club) , stroke awareness, SRHR sensitization campaigns, among others. As a health professional committed to health systems strengthening, she currently works at Sydani Group as a health management consultant and previously as a corporate relations and supply chain manager. Her work continues to inspire youths and women to be at the front lines of social and economic development. Her dream is to see a world where there are reduced inequalities, increased economic growth and access to decent work by all.	According to the 2011 UNEP report on Nigeria's environmental assessment; Ogoniland, Rivers State – is home to over 830,000 persons, and farming is the primary source of occupation for residents in its local Communities. Over 90% of women and their dependents suffer from adverse health challenges, and economic hardship due to environmental contamination from fossil fuel pollution and crude oil spillage. Climate-forced displacement is a significant issue as a result of this. In addition, up-scaling renewable energy solutions in Africa are currently underfunded, and the weak synergy between public and private sector actors, directly responsible for combating the effects of climate change – has become more evident. Decreased demands for net zero industry transition, ethical supply chains and responsible sourcing are a few other examples. Firstly, in ensuring a just and equitable energy transition, young sustainability leaders in Nigeria have to be trusted to drive change. We need to think about the environmental and social impact of business decisions. Secondly, the Nigerian governments and the Private sector must work toward ending fossil fuel pollution by funding decarbonization projects. Also, sustainable and concessional financing through long-term climate financing initiatives and debt-for-climate swap initiatives. Thirdly, Nigeria's Ministry of Environment must reevaluate the ESG, CSR and triple bottom line (TBL) strategies of corporate entities, and take or demand urgent bold actions! Finally, leveraging innovative technologies and entrepreneurship and integrating young people’s voices into the energy transition policy-design process and impact investment frameworks will promote inclusion. As a development consultant, who has engaged stakeholders within the Energy sector. As a fellow of the National Endowment for Democracy-Canvassity Pan-African Youth Democracy Fellowship, I facilitated programs that empowered 200+ women and youths to engage with governments on energy issues. I serve as a youth energy advocate in the SDG7 Youth Constituency (UNMGCY) driving local action for energy efficiency in Nigeria. As a fellow of the Friedrich Stiftung Eibert Youth Activist Program, I promote social democracy through climate justice. Through my engagement with the Abuja Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI), I engaged with over 50 private sector CEOs to discuss sustainable and responsible business actions toward seamless energy transition in Nigeria. COP27 presents a golden opportunity for me to join in the global efforts of building forward solutions in the fight against climate change. As an SDGs Advisor on the board of Inspiring Girls Now in Technology Evolution (IGNITE), Nigeria Office, I promote climate education and engage local stakeholders in the government and private sector. At COP27, I will engage in Panel discussions to share perspectives on Renewable energy financing, and Nigeria's Energy Transition plan. Also, I look forward to collaborating with other COP27 Delegates towards accelerating policy solutions for the just energy transition by 2030. My goal is to spotlight key issues that affect my local community. Hence, my post-COP27 plans include: Intensifying engagements with the United Nations Global Compact (Nigeria Office) through policy design and advocacy on gender inclusion, as well as collaborating with young founders in the Energy sector and Sustainability leaders in Nigeria.

Experiences: - Standing Committee on Human Rights & Peace Capacity Building Assistant - IFMSA. - Former Egypt's National office on Human Rights and Peace. - Completed (Training of Disasters Medicine Trainers) by Crimedim.uniupo. - Conducted around 200 training hours in 10 different organizations. - Trainer in (Health Advocacy & Youth Leadership) workshop & UN GA simulation.	Yesterday was my 22nd birthday, However, I did not celebrate but I was kind of in shock. When did I grow up that much? What did I do in the past 22 years? Did I really achieve something worthy? What is my plan for what is coming?.. All those questions and more kept hitting me and forcing me to overthink about them and triggering a lot of emotions, so I sat down to see what I have done with my life and what I want to do next. After I sat down to do this, I became more calm and realized that I have really done much. I was just as young as a 6th grade student and I learnt graphic design to the extent that I was able to lead a community of graphic designers and guide them in their journeys! And that led to me joining another path which is social medial marketing & campaigning.. I was so young when I learnt about the importance of influence and how to be influential. Then when I got the chance, I started volunteering and doing all in my capacity just to see an impact without waiting for material/monetary return. Fast forward to the end of 2018 after joining faculty of medicine, I joined a team and won (Alabakera) competition & got a funded trip to South korea, then I got the title of "Ideal Student" of my University, then I joined IFMSA (the international federation of medical students) which opened a new gate in front of me, the gate to human rights advocacy until I became a responsible for the human rights capacity building for all the organizations' members in over 130 countries! That taught me a lot about people's suffering especially the migration issues which gonna be a lot worse because of climate change migration. That got me really interested in this, attended LCOY last year, partnered up with the IOM on a workshop about the migration, worked on a policy included climate migration, and worked actively on getting as knowledgeable as I can in that field. Yet, I thought that It's gonna be near impossible to attend such a high profile event as COP27 especially with it being around the corner and I still haven't secured a spot, but I really hope that I get the chance to attend that event, network with a lot of climate enthusiasts and learn what I can benefit my community with later on, and most importantly, have something to remember as an achievement for my next birthday.
2134	Clifford Plastid	HOGLONOU	ALCOFORD CORPORATION	https://alcofordcorporation.bitrix24.site/	I’m Clifford Plastid HOGLONOU; formerly co-founder of an online sales platform during my university’studies in Lome, I’m now oriented towards industrial agribusiness after graduated. Actually founder and Chairman of ALCOFORD CORPORATION, a Startup specialized in ethanol production based on cassava. I’m a fairly confident, optimistic and committed with my team to the development of cassava-farming activities of smallholder-farmers to end poverty and promote well-being in rural communities. I lead a Startup which manufactures cassava and post-harvest losses into ethanol through intervention of multilevel distillation technology helping farmers earn-better. The Startup links companies which need ethanol to our business model by gathering smallholder-farmers in cassava value-chain under an innovative block-farming program to transforms the crops and post-harvest losses to produce ethanol for various uses mainly denatured for medical purposes or for the production of various cosmetics products and dehydrated for biofuel production very usefull for improved cookstooves to reduce greenhouse gas emission. Coming from a family that has been operating in the Import-Export ethanol business for 20 years, this business was decimated in 2013 following a fire in the markets where our products were stored. Trained in Management at the University of Lome, I am committed to restoring the family business by bringing added value to local cassava in collaboration with women-farmers in rural areas helping them earn-better. Today, my Startup has a growing more than 2,000+ farmers in its network and currently work with 108 smallholder-farmers under the block-farming program. Our concept solves major issues agri-health nexus-simultaneously- low-income to farmers, malnutrition, spoilage of agro-products while bridging the gaps of gender inequality by promoting women entrepreneurship and participation in the workforce. We expect to empower 10,000 women in order to get them completely out of poverty and reach nearly 200,000 end-users within 3years.	Through this program, i essentially pursue a research and co-development partnership to save energy and reduce greenhouse gas in my ethanol industry. By participating at this challenge, I believe that the ACMI Youth Forum delegate program could be a good fit to the growth of my venture and could be a great opportunity for networking and diversify experiences to allow me to develop and improve my knowledge in environment protection in order to benefit my initiatives in my home country. I believe the program will help me meet international innovators network to share experiences and then support us to optimize the key points of our environmental goals strategies and meet potential partners for next cooperation. I realize, Sub-Saharan Africa francophone communities in West Africa is poorly represented in the ACMI Youth Forum delegate program. So I want to become an ambassador and commit to promote the program in my region to enroll more young leaders of my communities. I think my network will be a considerable asset for ACMI Youth Forum delegate program.

Climate change is a global issue and it affects the Environment and we human beings. A lot of time, I have experienced severe flood crisis and it has always been devastating because of a lot of valuable properties, farmlands are been destroyed, families are been displaced from their homes. Thousands of tons of waste are been generated on a daily basis and are also been mismanaged. Hence, the need to rise up and lend our voice to make a change to combat climate change. This is why I'm motivated to apply for ACMI Youth Forum Delegate for COP27. As a graduate of Green Switch Academy in Nigeria, it has been my passion to contribute to Climate Resilience Project. I started a project that helps in converting various Agricultural wastes (since they are most often pilled up, dried and burnt which causes pollution) into reusable products and raw materials for various Industries. Therefore, as an Environmentalist with theoretical and practical knowledge about Environment and have also contributed to various Climate Resilience Project, I look forward to meet and rub minds with the right network of people through the COP 27, discuss and share great ideas and innovations to contribute and take transformative actions to combat Climate Change.

I am a resident of a small island state, Mauritius, and I feel that climate change and climate mobility is a major concern to not only my country, which is suffering from worsening droughts, torrential rains, devastating cyclones, sand and soil erosion, floods, but also to everybody around the world. This is because climate change has reached a level where it affects everyone, whether you live next to the sea or in the mountains. You are vulnerable to climate change and may face climate mobility wherever you are. Thus, I feel that I need to discuss more about these topics in my country and being an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 would undoubtedly help me do so. Through the Net Impact Climate Ambassador Programme, I am studying about how to organise workshops which will shed light on the climate impact our actions have or may have, through the scenarios provided by Climate Interactive. These workshops aim to help our community understand how our decisions and lifestyles today can determine the change in temperatures and sea level in the future 5, 10 or 20 years. Moreover, as a delegate of YOUNGA 2022, I have attended seminars which raised the issue of climate change consequences we are facing, with climate mobility being one of them. We have reached a time where we have to be fast in finding sustainable solutions for the massive displacement of people which were already in high numbers due to conflict and violence but now also happens due to climate change and natural disasters. In the words of Antonio Guterres, United Nations Secretary-General: "The state of the planet is broken." We have to face the alerting numbers: in 2019, around 23 million people had to migrate due to climate-related disasters. And this leaves the children involved vulnerable and most affected, as they witness their childhood being taken away, together with their homes, comfort and access to regular schooling. I want to become an ACMI Youth Forum delegate for COP27 to gain the experience and knowledge needed, make strong connections with climate leaders and changemakers, and be able to participate in debates and solution-brainstorming sessions in order to be part of the thinktanks that will help tackle these issues. It will be an enriching once-in-a-lifetime experience where I will put my interpersonal skills at play, and even improve my public speaking and problem-solving skills. I will come back to my country as a better version of the leader I am working on becoming and be able to address the issue of climate mobility in my university, my locality and even with government officials. I feel that it is my duty as a young Mauritian to bring the topic to light and, in a way, bring COP27 ACMI Youth Forum to my country through the work I intend to do after attending the summit. In order to share what I learned at COP27, I want to convene the students and staffs of my university to a workshop to vulgarize the topic of Climate Mobility, what is being done and what could be done to prevent or be prepared for this phenomenon and encourage the brainstorming and implementation of social projects geared towards positive climate impact. With my passion for policy making, I believe that the unique experience of being an ACMI Youth Forum delegate would further inspire me to have a career that will aim to find and implement solutions to fight the consequences of climate change, for instance, encouraging Green Fintech and environmental-friendly ways of doing business.

He is passionate about the spiritual and positive mental health of people especially teens.	I am writing to express my interest to be considered to be part of the ACMI YOUTH FORUM, As it has always been my age long ambition to add an impact in harnessing a clean and sustainable environment in the West African Region. I have volunteered with many bodies, organizations in diverse professional settings, I see this opening as a medium to leverage my experience in the organization, I was excited to learn of this opening which will promote economic cooperation among African countries in order to raise living standards and promote economic development that is sustainable, I would be very much happy to be considered as a strong candidate. Ideally, this position will allow me the opportunity to utilize my experience gained as a climate activist with the Global environmental climate conservation initiative where I performed and engaged a community in the essence of tree planting, reduction of carbon footprints, advocacy on kick plastics etc. As a scientist during my undergraduate studies, I successfully created and implemented an environmental friendly system that has benefited the students of michael okpara university of agriculture demonstration secondary school by planting economic trees it was assisted through a Non governmental organization (Foundation for a better environment), this process helped in the reduction/checker of erosion at the school premises and also brought about a conducive environment by circulating oxygen. Also, i led so many projects on advocacy by representing the Global environmental and Climate Conservation initiative in engaging students in the university by enlightening them on smart farming, also on climate, cause most persons know that Africa is the least emitter of carbon footprints, I told them that recent flooding and tycoons are all impacts we face from climate change, so I advised them to encourage afforestation and spread the news of performing eco friendly habits in the fight for climate justice, through the university radio, I reached everywhere in promoting the need to be actively involved to preserve our earth and it's habitat. This experience demonstrated the need to solve problem which has to be sustainable. I realize, however, that while these experiences are relevant, it is not enough reason I understood it would only address a limited side of my career goals. I want to widen my approach, by been part of the Africa Climate Mobility Initiative (ACMI) Youth Delegates to understand business from its core, and get the bigger picture in diverse ways through learning the practical realities of Climate, It's mobility in starting a new course of advocacy in my community both Technically and Administratively.

2140	Gislaine	Kengne	Network for Environment and Sustainable Development in Africa - Cameroon		I am a mechanical engineer student and MasterCard Foundation Scholar at the Ashesi University in Ghana. I am a passionate climate and environmental reform enthusiast, a budding entrepreneur, a community mobilizer and a youth activist. I have showcased my skills in Cameroon with organizations like Open Dreams and in Ghana with the Ashesi D-Labs. I have mentored young Cameroonians and Internally Displace Persons on sustainable ways to dispose of plastics and how to recycle them and in Ghana, I currently am involved in training vendors of art crafts on how to showcase their art through sustainable methods. I have worked on biogas projects which have won awards and continue to look for opportunities to contribute to the fight against climate change	As an Internal Displaced Person coming from a poor background, I have always had to rely on spring water to do house chores and for consumption. However, when I turned 11, we no longer had access to that water because it had dried up. I had to walk a long distance to get water which was frustrating and tiring. I began asking questions about why this sudden change but my mother could barely provide the answers I needed. Others in the village always gave reasons like it was a curse from above. Another observation was how hotter it had become over the years and there were these big machines that kept logging in the nearby farms. I could not make sense of it. This was until my high school when I became involved with my mentor at NESDA who introduced the concept of the environment, biodiversity and climate change to me. She always showed me pictures of before and after from deforestation and I got to learn about plastics and their harms. This engendered in me the desire to do something in my community. I started by mobilising my peers in the neighbourhood and together we tried cleaning the gutters which were always clogged. It was a tough task because the very next day, people had disposed of their waste into the gutters. I will cry on some days because it was like flogging a dead horse. When I joined Open Dreams, I learned more about advocacy and raising awareness. I learned how to approach difficult situations and how to work around to get the solutions. I honed these skills and began talking to everyone I knew about the importance of keeping plastics out of our houses and the harms of cutting trees. With a team of friends, we visited the local market and spoke to the vendors about using paper bags instead of plastic bags. We even taught them how to model bags out of old newspapers. Some of them did heed to this advice. After graduating high school, I mentored fellow IDPs on how to plant trees. Because I could not access land, I showed them how to recycle plastic bottles as growing pots. I continued to volunteer my skills right up till when I came to Ghana for undergraduate studies. Currently, at the D-Labs I head a project which teaches art vendors how to use technology to showcase their products without hanging them on plants or having to cut them down. I believe my desire to see a green world makes me an ideal candidate to learn better from COP17.
2141	Emmanuella	Coffie Amewugah			I am a 22-year Ghanaian graduate who recently completed my 4-year degree education from the University of Ghana. I studied Political science and Spanish and this is because I seek to contribute to the evolution and growth of not just my country but also around the world. In as much as there are numerous fields through which the world can be impacted, I firmly believe that I can effectively contribute to the world's growth through the International Relations field. Growing up, I have basically suffered from engaging with companies of people and diffidence in outdoor spaces, however, my interaction through my education has helped me at honing my engagement skills with others. With the progress I experienced and attained, I hope to continue engaging in more activities and interactions to enable me to be a good public speaker. As part of the steps to hone my public speaking skills, I have participated in debates and also joined in radio interactions on pertinent social issues. I find the aforementioned activities to have to be very effective for my current makeup since despite my shortcomings I have still been able to engage a minimum of at least fifty people and so far a maximum of not less than 1000 people through social events. My study of Spanish and French during my education adds up to my multilingual ability. I am able to communicate at an intermediate level in Spanish and an elementary level in French. With this ability, I have the potential of communicating in other international languages other than English. My exposure to these languages has also enabled me to learn and understand the varying cultural makeup of other people for which they cannot be subjected to any form of inferior treatment and disrespect. I believe all persons are unique in their own ways and weaknesses, hence, they must be regarded in high esteem as well as accorded equal rights and treatment. I firmly am a believer in individual rights and freedom, as I believe an environment where this is upheld creates an atmosphere for personal growth. Such an environment enables a team to thrive aside from overcoming both organizational and personal challenges. My experiences attained through my internships and group tasks make me understand the essentiality of teamwork in accomplishing tasks efficiently. Moreover, I have an exceptional ability in leading a team to undertake tasks and assignments before deadlines. Again, I understand that there are inevitable times one will have to work under intense pressure so as to complete tasks. In as much as, planning ahead is my priority, I understand times are not predictable and hence certain misfirings that may cause one to work under pressure and I am open to all these. I uphold my integrity in high esteem which makes me law-abiding, respect and tolerate views, time-binding, and cooperative. I look forward to any opportunity to develop my skills as well as prove myself in any situation I find myself.	Issues of climate are pertinent topics that need the cooperation and coordination of enthusiastic and passionate individuals. the change in climate in recent years has become alarming. the rate at which humans engage in deteriorating environmental activities such as deforestation, oil drilling, use of oil and gas in almost every industry every time, consumerism, the release of toxic gases into the atmosphere, transportation, and many more are major reasons for the massive change in the climate despite natural causes like variations in solar activity, changes in earth's reflectivity and volcanic activity. Climate change has caused plunging effects such as reduction in food security, change in rainfall patterns eventually affecting agriculture, and worsening water security among others on the African continent. These effects do not just disturb the natural composition of the world, but also, inadvertently affects the performance of various states' economy and puts the lives of individuals in jeopardy. These accompanying issues have caused individuals and groups of people to be solicitous and for which there must be leeways to enable Africa to elope from any form of subjectivity to climate change. Ghana in the past 2 years, has experienced a drastic change in its climate and this year for instance has shown how devastating the change in climate is and regarded the Meteorological Agency's predictions as less useful. the country still continues to record habitual heavy rainfalls since the onset of the rainfall season in April and this goes against the stipulated period for the rainfall season. This has caused a disruption in habitual activities and also tampered with the growth of the economy aside making citizens apprehensive of the sudden change in climatic pattern. As an environmental enthusiast and a well-wisher of the African continent, I am motivated to be a delegate to enable me to use the forum as an avenue to enable me to converge with other capable personnel to raise awareness on climatic issues and also join in climate mobility to help mitigate the pertinent effects of climatic change as well as contribute to the growth of a safer environment.

He is been involved in many conferences and seminars to contribute to and learn about the climate change field. Benjamin has been a youth leader in every environment he finds himself in, from high school to the university, in the community and he is currently leading in the post-graduate sphere, where he leads sessions on climate action, internet governance, sustainable energy, etc. He is also a Young Africa Leader Initiatives (YALI) fellow, where he has undergone training to be a change maker in society as well as post-training activities. During one of the youth conferences as a delegate, Benjamin won the best position paper on the climate change committee of a model United Nation. where he suggested solutions on mitigation and adaptation of climate change action.	Growing up in a local community in Africa, I experienced firsthand how people are struggling to get things done and improve their standard of living; this is a contributing factor to my always having a great passion for problem-solving and finding means of making things easier. This mindset also ignited my technical skills and my path in engineering. With the current trend of climate change and the insatiable energy need, I developed an interest to study renewable energy to contribute to the global solution. The youth have a major stake in society, especially in climate change action. I am certain the ACMI will be a platform for youth to air their views, learn, ask questions, and proffer solutions. I have always given my best in whatever opportunity handed to me to acquire all the necessary knowledge thrown at me. I am committed to continuous improvement through new Knowledge & skills and I am convinced with my determination and discipline, I will go the extra mile. Learning outside my comfort zone will help me to connect globally, and allow me to witness the view of other personalities as we all aim to build and develop our skills.

I think that young people must be actors of change and be everywhere decisions are made. I want to bring the voice of African youth and more particularly of internally displaced youth to COP 27 because my country is currently the second most affected country by terrorism in Africa and has nearly two million internally displaced people, which is 9% of the total population. During my participation in the Cod'Action plaidoyer internationale I carried out a project on the right to a healthy environment for internally displaced children. Within Amnesty we have conducted campaigns on the right to the environment and on the rights of refugees. I had the chance to work in the implementation of the project My planet, my heritage to address climate change issues with youth and children and to conduct advocacy on the rights of displaced children in Burkina Faso. Within the Global Youth Biodiversity Network we organize webinars on different topics related to biodiversity such as climate mobility. My activities in the field have allowed me to mobilize more than 500 young people around the issue of climate and the environment.

2147	Isaac	Kumitse Junior	Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology	https://apps.knust.edu.gh/admissions/	My name is Kumitse Isaac Junior, a 22 year old final year Geomatic Engineering student in the Kwame Nkrumah University Of Science and Technology. I was born in the Volta Region of Ghana and currently live in Winneba. Over the past few years, I have dedicated myself to leadership and contributing back to the society. It all became intensive right after I entered the space of youth leadership parliament and then into an organisation named Dreams of Africa Youth For Change Organisation, founded by some of the very people I met at youth leadership parliament, myself inclusive. Then served the United Nations Youth Association of Ghana as a youth justice. Later that year, in 2021, I was appointed as the Public Relations Officer for the National Union of Ghana Students KNUST, and then as the KNUST campus ambassador for Innovation for Empowerment and Development (IFED) Global. Through it all my greatest inspiration is to serve the very people we lead. Leadership is not just about titles but also about influence. How are we influencing the people around us with the little we have?	Most of my life, I have lived within the costal belts of Ghana. Currently, I live in Winneba which is also nearer to the Gulf of Guinea, thus in the central region of Ghana. Growing up, we used to go to a town in Winneba called Akosua Village to get fresh fish to buy, since most of the inhabitants were Fisher folks. The entire land area we used to walk and play on, can no longer be found. It has been completely covered up by the sea. To add to that, the level of activity within Akosua Village has decreased drastically. The indigenes living very close to the sea have now been forced to relocate due to the fact that the sea is gradually eating up the land cover left. This has forced those living very close to the sea to abandon their homes. Some of the childhood friends I made complained bitterly to me, especially how they were not getting enough to support themselves and also the fact that they felt the situation was beyond their control. This further inspired me to use the phenomenon as my project for my first academic year in KNUST for a course known as engineering in society ( CENG 291) somewhere in 2019. This helped me engage some of the members of the community which further gave me more information about how tidal waves adversely affected their livelihood. I believe this is just a small fraction of the effect of climate change. Most part of this same issue of tidal waves is increasing exponentially around Keta in the volta region, where lots of indigenes have been displaced. Until we take action now cases like that of Akosua Village might escalate as well. My motivation for applying is to meet with like minded people who are very much passionate about our environment, our climate and our very own people, to discuss and deliberate on various ways to expand support base especially through the Youth to fight climate change

Krystel earned a degree in Environmental Chemistry from Odisee x KU Leuven and is currently specialising as Environmental Researcher at the Open Universiteit of the Netherlands.	At present, most migrants are young adults while only one in eight migrants and half of the world’s refugees are minors. In Africa, the ongoing climate crisis will amplify the root causes of migration, forcing more youths to migrate due to insecurity, conflicts, competition for ressources and lack of opportunities. Despite human mobility in Africa has been key in driving sustainability and resilience, nowadays it's being looked at as a threat. How climate affects migrants, conflicts, Migrants rights has long been overlooked within the climate debate and been a weak spot for many countries (and international community). The lack of understanding of people on the move, their needs and underrepresentation within the climate debate need desperately to be addressed. Me joining the delegation I consider it to be an opportunity to take up the space and deconstruct negative perceptions of Africans migrating by sharing and bringing light on contextual realities through testimonies collected through my work, research-based knowledge. Through this opportunity I hope for the knowledge I have acquired so far through my exchanges on the ground (evidence collected in Namibia, Gambia, Uganda, Kenya, Senegal) to influence debates and policies, as well as represent people on the move in Africa. experience: * PM at the AU Diaspora Youth Initiative Helped the AU Permanent Mission to the EU to mobilize diaspora youth around Agenda 2063, now called the AU Diaspora Youth Initiative. My work consisted mainly of: ➢ Design and roll out the flagship project “Silencing the guns”. The project started with the Executive Team wanting to draw attention to the AU 2020 Theme of the Year and shifted this idea to a purpose-driven campaign that empowers diaspora youth to become ambassadors for peace and security in Africa. I convened a group of 10 youth ambassadors, organized weekly workshops by experts from Africa and Europe, and led the working group participants to formulate their advocacy goals, priorities and strategies. At 1.2 Diaries (founder and freelance researcher) we document lived experiences and knowledge from the frontlines of the climate crisis. We center the voices of activists, experts and grassroots communities from the Global South to raise awareness, decolonize knowledge and policy, and mobilize action against the climate crisis in Africa. Conducting research on the Climate-Migration-Conflict Nexus and the Green Movement in in Kenya, Uganda, Namibia, Senegal and Gambia. Currently the contact point for the climate and working group at YOUNGO, whilst the working group has been officially operational since June, we have successfully contributed to the organisation of the Kampala Regional conference on climate and migration, facilitated workshop and developed youth statement to be addressed at the conference (in partnership with IOM, Chatham House and RCC Kampala). We also contributed to the Global Youth Statement and are Currently working on activities for COP27 & COY17, as well as to create a space for francophones to contribute to the climate & migration debate through a think thank, to provide research report and develop good practices for migrants inclusion at EU-Moroccan borders. Least but not least a educative program on climate & migration is currently being developed in order to build capacity of YOUNGO members on the thematic.

As a teenager who was in his penultimate year in secondary school , our Chemistry Teacher gave us a task to think about an innovative way of changing the world and the only thing I could think at that time was recycling polyethene bags as they constitute a large portion of waste in Nigeria and they are non-bio degradable , I was excited about the project but was unable to carry out the project due to lack of support and funding from the school , after my secondary school, I switch path and went ahead to study Library and Information Technology , It was in 2020 , when I lost three of my Neighbors to flooding that I rekindle my interest in Climate Change and the need to take Climate Action and as a Development Practitioner who has focused his work basically on reducing unemployment and improving employability, which has led me to established a nonprofit organization; GLOWING MINDS INITIATIVE FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT and I started focusing on Climate Entrepreneurship – the intersectional of Climate Action and Entrepreneurship as sustainable way to achieve Climate Change advocacy with more focus on plastic recycling. So far we have trained 30 youths on how to start a climate friendly business with focus on plastic recycling. I will like to be a ACMI Youth forum delegate to improve my existing knowledge on climate change especially in the area of Climate Justice as it relates to my Country Nigeria, l will like to learn how my Country Nigeria can help in achieving the 2015 Paris agreement of zero carbon emission by the year 2050. If selected I will also have the opportunity to build a global network of Climate Leaders. The Fellowship will also give me the opportunity to share my wealth of experience in building Climate friendly entrepreneurs in Nigeria. After the forum, I plan to launch the YOUNG CLIMATE ENTREPRENUERS PROGRAM YCEP through my organization – Glowing Minds Initiative for Human Development. YCEP is going to target young people between the ages of 18 – 29 years who are interested in establishing Climate Friendly Business, through YCEP we intend to build the Capacities of Youths in the area of Climate Entrepreneurship. The Project is to impact directly the lives of 100 Climate Entrepreneurs in five years. My Vision, which is the vision of my organization is an African Society where every youth is employed and Self Reliant. One of the ways of achieving a Self-Reliant Africa is when African Youths engage in Climate Friendly Business. In the next five years, I want to be one of the leading global voice promoting Climate-Friendly Entrepreneurship. I want to produce a hundred Climate Entrepreneurs who will also be leading global climate friendly enterprise
2151	John Oliver	Fanfan	Island Bio & Viaterra consulting		My love for trees and forests started from a very young age for I was lucky to be born and raised at a time where my parents were making a small fruit forest out of our backyard. I was also involved in a scout group whose focus was to unleash the love of nature and adventure in children and youths while sticking to indigenous technologies, knowledge and practices to a remarkable extent. This october 2022 will mark the end of a full 7 year cycle since I started to innovate my activism into the creation of community garden systems under a non for profit movement named Island Bio, which I founded as a response to poverty issues in slave descendants community neighborhoods of which I'm part too, alarming cancer increase rate in Mauritius due to record "preventive application" of chemicals into crop productions well as the ecological disaster caused by monocrop systems which largely covers most areas of cultivable land on the Island. In addition to adding a lot of contentment in my life and helping to discover deeper parts of my strengths when my mom passed away in 2016 because of cancer disease, Island Bio provided me with the opportunity to meet with a lot of resourceful persons, attract helps & support from people and organizations in Mauritius, build my capacities through national & international programs and learn how to lean on myself as an eco social-entrepreneur (to say just these..). These days, in addition to my commitments toward communities & land regeneration projects, I am living the most satisfactory experience of my life through sharing the sum of these experiences to idle youths of 12-14 years old of Roche Bois, the most challenging neighborhood of Mauritius, through permaculture principles, practices and knowledge from 10.30 am to 2.30 pm, 4 days a week since May of this year. It's with immense hope and joy that I welcome the fact that the child support NGO who structures this project is now looking for help to help me continue this project for another year and have those youths as ambassadors and vectors of change through a set of steps that will gradually and successfully support fruit trees and life science knowledge dissemination in the community of Roche Bois, the neighborhood where my mom grew up and where I spent the first months of my life. I am also an active member of the rastafarian movement and is at the moment, co-coordinating an "active" rastafarian exposition project at the slavery museum we will at last have in Mauritius next year. Our aim as a group is to honour and carry the resilience and cultural legacies of our maroon ancestors, my aim as a person is to reconnect Mauritians and especially those of direct African origins to reconcile with the divine ecological practices and culture of our ancestors to rebuild the kind of wisdoms which allows them to maintain balance and diversity in nature throughout thousands of years until the mastery of the science and art of agriculture gave some of them the luxury of time and the arrogance towards the natural realities that maintain natural abundance and life on earth to the detriment of our own freedom and spiritual wisdom.	With less than 1.6% of preserved forest, Mauritius is ranked as the country with the second highest endemic flora extinction rate in the world. Most of our forestry and biodiversity has been cleared for export mono-crop and urbanisation. With only 17% food security and an overall serious public and environmental health situation, 1 in 2 Mauritians are susceptible to non-transmissible diseases, many of which can be related to chemical exposure and food intoxication. Concerns and hopes are being raise more than ever for the advocacy of healthier biodynamics. Unarguably, we want products, services and environments that support human livelihood as part of a biodynamic life system that emcompasses the consideration of clean and healthy natural ressources for geomedical and general wellness benefits. However, despite the growing appearances of influencers and small project initiators who advocate and promote ecological thoughts and solutions, we tend to notice the continual rise of destructive consumerism and the success of the carbon economy. This is in spite of the alarming call for the protection and regeneration of the elements that not only support the stakes of survival of our own human race, but also life in other organic forms of which a lot have gone into extinction or endangerment, preventing natural life systems dynamics from their respective ecosystemic and ecological services for the sustaining of biodiversity. As a permaculture practitioner, I tend to focus on taking care of the root systems by caring for the immediate soil system in the objective of benefiting from healthy, resilient and fructuous biodiversity dynamics. In the same way, the sole action plan focus of bringing new products or services to a market would, in my opinion, have difficultly to materialise into sustainable impactful change. Most of our consumption choices are based on ideals and the last couple of decades have been the era of the battles for the setting and influence of new and "updated" ideals. As the effetcs of environmental crisis have become more and more expressive; we see the emergence of influencers from different walks of life like scientists, activists, designers, artists, entrepreneurs and other stakeholders participating in events and talks in aim to influence livelihood culture through change or adaptation of ideals. While some of these initiatives definitely have had an impact over the economic growth pattern of the general western culture (though proportionally insufficient), several great thinkers of our human history like Krishna Murthy agree with the fact that ideals don't create cultures, it's rather the contrary: "we do not think our own thoughts, we think the thoughts of our culture" which influences our choice of action in life and that "choice of action" is where the battle of ecological restoration happens. Therefore, identifying and designing ways of influencing, variants and feedbacks of respective consumption and livelihood culture dynamics shall be the main focus when it comes to the implementation and sustaining of ecological regenerative projects, instead of focussing on innovations as a seductive factor for market adoption. Influencing cultures, creates needs and needs create opportunities which fuel the cycle of regenerative growth in the context of ecological change and I will make use of the forum opportunities to network, influence and manifest more ressources to make things happend.
2152	Byencit Francisca	Duncan	Clean Technology Hub	https://cleantechnologyhub.com/	I am a seasoned research analyst with a drive for excellence. I have a Bachelor of Science in Economics from Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria. I currently manage the electric mobility portfolio at Clean Technology Hub with the aim of driving the smooth adoption of electric vehicles in Nigeria. In this capacity, I have written the first market intelligence report for the e-mobility sector in Nigeria, organized webinars and written articles to push the frontiers of knowledge in the Nigerian e-mobility space. I am also currently organising an advocacy campaign for electric vehicles. I have secured funding to build the ecosystem of e-mobility in Nigeria and develop a database of information about the sector. On the policy advocacy aspect of e-mobility adoption in Nigeria, I am currently working with the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC) towards organising an awareness campaign for electric vehicles called "The EV Campaign". I am also part of the technical committee drafting the EV roadmap for Nigeria alongside other stakeholders within the sector. I am very passionate about clean energy access in Africa and am involved in other projects at Clean Technology Hub. I am therefore always willing to learn more about climate change and the clean energy access sector.	Transportation is a major source of green house gas emissions all over the world, and this makes it a major mitigating factor in reducing the effect of climate change. In Nigeria alone, transport contributes about 60% of GHG emissions coupled with the environmental effects it has on the health of people through air pollution. As someone already in the climate mobility sector, this would be an opportunity for me to learn more about electric mobility and also know what other countries are doing to move away from fossil-fueled cars to electric vehicles. It will always give me the opportunity to discuss with like-minded people on how to push for smooth adoption of electric vehicles, learn from other countries' experiences, and also discuss pressing matters and issues relating to the mobility sector. I have vast experience in the climate mobility sector, especially in Nigeria. I have written a market intelligence report about the state of e-mobility in Nigeria and have organised webinars and interviews to discuss the sector. I have also written opinion pieces on the need to adopt cleaner mobility.
2153	Temilade	Salami	Climate Education Leaders Fellowship Africa	https://ecochampions.ng/	I am the founder and Executive Director of “EcoChampions”, one of Africa’s largest networks of young environmentalists, leading environmental change through climate education and advocacy. As the founder of EcoChampions, I have spent the past five years leading a group of 200 young environmentalists across Nigeria and Africa. In this capacity, I have designed and developed various Climate change programs and projects across 26 African countries. To bridge the Climate education gap, I authored two environmental education books for children. Currently, these books are being used in primary schools in Nigeria as tools to teach Climate Education informally. I have just completed my Master’s in Environment, Development and Policy and also serve as the Deputy chair of the University of Sussex Student sustainability committee and the focal point of the sustainability and safe education working group of UNESCO SDG4 YOUTH Network. Recently, I launched the Climate Education Leaders Fellowship in Africa, which combines knowledge, expertise and mentorship, to raise the next generation of informed, knowledgeable and prepared Climate Leaders. I also co-led a climate education declaration last year at COP26, and I currently helped UNESCO ESD to co-develop guidelines to support policymakers in integrating climate education into education policies and curricula for the upcoming COP27. You will always find me at the intersection of Climate change education and communications.	Climate change affects everyone, but it affects everyone differently. In Nigeria, where I come from, the climate crisis has sparked a crisis of mobility. People have lost their homes, farmlands and family to climate-induced floods and irregular weather patterns and in turn, have migrated from places they once called home. According to UNICEF, around the world, in 2019 alone, some 23.9 million people were involuntarily displaced by weather-related disasters. Nigeria shares in this reality. In November, for two weeks, experts, policymakers and young people from around the world meet to discuss climate change and ways forward. I believe that the voices of young people like me working actively in communities to find solutions to the climate crisis deserve to be heard, especially as an African. Just a few days ago, a city in Nigeria was almost submerged under water, leaving thousands of people homeless and clueless about what to do next. Climate mobility affects every aspect of life, from education to poverty, loss of livelihoods and health issues. It is therefore important that more attention is given to it at COP27, most especially to vulnerable countries. More than ever before, there has been an urgent need to include the voices of young people like me in important discussions and negotiations on the Global climate crisis. Our futures are threatened by accelerating global heating and climate change. There is now an ever-increasing demand for action toward a more just, equitable, and climate-resilient society, and I believe being an ACMI Youth Forum delegate will present an opportunity to highlight the realities of climate mobility in our communities.
2154	Happiness Chido Tatenda	Maworera	EARTH University	NA	I am a prospecting agricultural engineer, a second-year student studying agricultural science and engineering at EARTH University in Costa Rica. I am very passionate about social work, sustainable agriculture animal science, nutrition, and soil science. I have studied Public Administration and I have also completed a professional course in Project Management at the University of Zimbabwe. I can communicate with people different parts of the world because I can fluently speak in Spanish, English and Shona, I won the best award for Spanish Program at Earth University which we did for a year. I have worked as a marketing manager in meat production company, and I worked with young women in different schools for CAMFED organization that campaigns for female education. The fact that I have moved from a background of social science to agricultural science and engineering has become my strongest drive-in life. I have always had good grades in the field that was completely new and challenging to me. I have a very strong motivation in all the things I do, I am a very confident young woman, I am empowered, and I believe that I can achieve good results in everything I do through hard work and ambition. I strongly believe that my work ethic, my ability to listen to others and my great desire to advocate for the vulnerable people and the whole society at large are the strongest characteristics I have. In this context, I believe my personal values and career aspirations are well aligned with COP27 mission.	I need to participate in the program to develop my skills, it is the chance for me to learn more things that will be very useful throughout my carrier.I had the chance to virtually attend the GCA Youth Dialogue on Adaptation Action: Delivering on the Glasgow Climate Pact' that took place on 3-4 September 2022, hybrid and in Rotterdam, the Netherlands which was a ´platform for me to learn more about climate change and the views of several young people to the COP27 .I managed to increase my expertise of urban topics, particularly those related to development and management concerns. I got the chance to gain information in a variety of fields, including climate change, the environment, society, and geography, as well as strengthen my research methods.I believe I will help ACMI Youth Forum for COP27 as a delegate who is an agricultural scientist by researching and putting into practice alternatives for a sustainable urban development through mitigating climate change because of my interdisciplinary training and project development expertise. It is also an opportunity for me to stand up for what I believe in and share with other people so that the knowledge spreads and multiplies, I am a game changer.I have excellent networking abilities and am driven, organized, proactive, and sociable. I intend to continue putting up the same amount of effort and commitment as I have throughout my academic and professional career.

Maame holds a Bachelor of Laws (Hons)(LLB) from the University of Witwatersrand.	The global climate narrative warns about the future adverse effects of climate change, but one does not need a time machine to see the disproportionate harm Africa is already experiencing from climate change. Between 2010-2022, 172.3 million Africans have been adversely affected by drought, this is more than double Germany’s current population, a country that is paradoxically one of the top five global greenhouse gas emitters. Without the required climate financing pledged by high emitters such as Germany, many African countries will continue to have to redirect public and private financing from development needs such as education, health and nutrition to address climate adaptation and mitigation. The inequity and the failings of the current global climate negotiation system to empower those most effected by climate change is clear. Working for the Africa-Europe Foundation as well as the Special Representative in her mandate to close energy access gaps, including access for those forcibly displaced by climate change that have no access to electricity and clean cooking for their well-being.

The year 2022 has been a unique one for many students in Nigeria. I have been out of school for the past seven months due to the nationwide academic strike preventing students like myself in Public Universities from being able to attend lectures or complete our degrees. I took this time away from the class to delve deeper into my academic curiosities: Python Programming, Machine Learning and Carbon Capture. I got selected for a cohort with Cypher Crescent Ltd, A software company in Port-Harcourt, Nigeria- where I learnt the importance and utilization of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in the Energy Industry. I developed a model capable of predicting Gas Production rates in my country with current production. Before the development program, I initiated a mentorship program with a Reservoir Simulation Expert in Austin, Texas. She supervised my research on the prospects of Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage(CCUS) technologies in Nigeria. The last few months had me away from the four walls of the traditional school; I immersed myself in the Climate Change sphere through these endeavours. Although I still have a very long way to go, I am witnessing the impact of global warming every day. COP27 is considered the most crucial Climate Change gathering of the year, an event I would be so glad to attend and connect with like-minded individuals ready to commit and develop policies, technologies and research toward making our planet more habitable while developing advanced technologies for the future. COP27 is one event in that I would love to be a participant.

He has previously served on the board of Climate Cardinals and Helping Hands Tanzania and served as an ambassador for organizations like Plan International and We are Family Foundation with his work impacting over 500,000 lives. He has been a speaker and panellist at various events in 7 different countries including Tedx! His work has been featured on major publications namely BBC, DW, Toronto Star, Zett Magazine and Daily Nation. For his contribution towards humanitarian efforts, he has won various accolades, some of which include the Princess Diana Award 2019, WAFF’s Global Teen Leader 2019, Linkedin Top 5 Creators to Follow, THE LIST Honoree, Winner of the Dragons’ Den for Change at GESF2019 and Future 25Under25!	Growing up in Tanzania and Kenya, I was able to first handedly experience the vast effects of the climate crisis especially in terms of floods and drought. When I was 9 years old, I had a chance to volunteer at the red cross to support victims of floods in the Kilosa, Kongwa and Mpwapwa Districts of Tanzania to provide essential items such as mosquito nets, food, soaps, water and temporary shelter. I remember seeing so many family, women and children losing everything because of the floods and now having to relocate their whole lives. As I became older, my work in the climate space became more stronger and impactful. When I was 15, (2017), I launched For The Menstruator to fight for the intersectionality between SRHR and Climate by producing and distributing reusable and biodegradable menstrual products. These products have empowered over 17,000 menstruators in 10 countries having a reduction of over 270,300 kg CO2 as a carbon footprint in comparison to disposable products. Through my work, I have managed to learn more about the issue of climate mobility In East Africa when working with communities in Samburu and RIver Tana in Kenya and Kisarawe, Tanzania. Both these regions have vastly had an increase in drought making it extremely difficult for locals to sustain a livelihood and get access to clean water. Through these encounters and research, I realised alot of these communities who are most vulnerable to the crisis don't have access to climate education or resources. This is when I decided to join Climate Cardinals, as an Outreach director to translate climate education in over 100+ languages. We worked with major organizations like UNEP and Translators Without Borders. During my time there, I managed to translate our resources into Swahili and conducted a project in collaboration with the Museum for The UN - Tanzania to educate and conduct climate workshops with the Masaai population in Moshi, Tanzania. Through this project, we were able to learn, share and develop with them various strategies to become resilient towards the crisis and ensure their livelihoods aren't affected. On a separate note, I also worked on initiatives in my high school to turn into a zero-waste academy by implementing policies and waste-management practices. This included reusing, recycling and composting all our wast product, a new water recycling program, and a change to solar electricity to make our school more energy efficient. Keeping all of my experiences in mind, my main motivation to be part of the ACMI Youth Forum delegate is to enhance my existing efforts in crisis but to also engage and lobby to decision makers to prioritize climate mobility and its effects in our continent. I hope to share examples of my experiences to direct funding and policy changes to create impact that does affect climate mobility. I hope to further expand my knowledge and work closely with my African brothers and sisters to advocate for global leadership to prioritise climate effects in our continent given how vulnerable our communities are.

The professional portfolio of the network includes collaborations with the United Nations [UN], the European Union [EU], the African Union [AU]’s Presidential Panel of 2021, and many other governments, universities, international organizations, and multinational companies worldwide. Manuel Ntumba was recently recognized among the “World’s Most Influential People of African Descent in Politics & Governance” (Global Top 100 Under 40) - in support of the United Nations International Decade for People of African Descent (2015-2024) proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 689/237. Previous honorees included the Duchess of Sussex Meghan, and His Excellency Abiy Ahmed Ali: Prime Minister of Ethiopia and 2019 Nobel Peace Prize Winner; as well as other distinguished personalities worldwide. Manuel Ntumba is a Member of the Diplomatic Delegation to the United Nations Committee on Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM), within the United Nations Economic and Social Council (UN ECOSOC) based at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City, NY, United States. Manuel Ntumba previously worked as Advisor to the African Union Presidential Panel of 2021, previously chaired by His Excellency President Félix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo: President of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and former President of the African Union (2021-2022); to develop a roadmap for the use of space technologies, digital transformation, and geospatial applications to achieve the Agenda 2063 of the African Union (AU). Ntumba worked as an Expert in Geospatial Information and Earth Observation within the consortium on geospatial information of the Erasmus+ Sector Skills Alliance of the European Union (EU), alongside experts from all over Europe. Manuel Ntumba completed an executive-level program in Financial Technology and Digital Inclusion from the International Finance Corporation (World Bank Group) and Alipay (Alibaba Group). The program has helped him to gain more experience in using technology to support financial inclusion, digital transformation, and socio-economic development, especially in developing and emerging countries. He is also One Young World Ambassador.	As Geopolitical Advisor, I advise several governments and private companies, to define implementation strategies and governance policies to support sustainable development, technological innovation, and socio-economic progress, especially with a focus on disaster risk reduction (DRR) and Climate Change. I help governments to develop clime-smart solutions and climate technologies to support their climate action, such as geoportals which uses geospatial data for disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate mitigation. Geospatial technology includes three different technologies that are all related to mapping features on the surface of the Earth for environmental management. They are geographical information systems (GIS), global-positioning systems (GPS), and remote sensing (RS). The three components of geospatial technology can track, map, analyze, and disseminate environmental management information. RS technology helps survey the entire Earth with unprecedented regularity, thus any environmental change can be noticed. Global atmospheric conditions are monitored on an hourly basis by weather satellites. RS imagery provides information on drought, vegetation, flood damage, forest fires, deforestation, and other natural disasters. GIS provides the tools to accurately map this information from both global and local perspectives. GPS technology accurately tracks the position of environmental fallout. Geospatial information technology can play a vital role in global warming research by helping to make a connection between climate change and individual people. It is best achieved by mapping the impact of climate change at the local level through the use of satellite imagery. Thus, the public will be aware of the actual impact of global warming. Geospatial technologies, such as remotely sensed data, have enhanced scientific understanding of water cycles, air quality, forests, and other aspects of the natural environment. These surveying and monitoring tools provide valuable information on the state of ecosystems, which offers objective support for positive environmental action, including conservation and sustainable resource management. Earth observation from space is a cost-effective way of obtaining unbiased and essential data on the physical world. Decision makers use this information to understand trends, evaluate needs, and create sustainable development policies and programmes in the best interest of all populations. Geospatial technology helps in understanding and mapping the patterns of vulnerability with planning climate adaptation strategies. Vulnerability analysis, or the degree to which people or the environment may be harmed, requires integrating three types of information about the society and environment interactions, including patterns of exposure to hazards, sensitivity, and resilience. Sensitivity includes the amount of damage expected from a particular event such as coastal flooding, a hurricane, or an excessive heat wave; and resilience includes the capacity to recover from the vagaries of climate change. Through geospatial technology use, governments can identify factors and hotspots responsible for global warming and climate change and locate areas affected by them. Governments can then act accordingly to save vulnerable populations. Thus, the use of geospatial technology can help in mitigating global warming problems and aftereffects.
