Meet a Kenyan teacher teaching children crucial environmental skills.

Africa Climate Conversations.

Our children are the next generation. We, as humans, pass on our legacy to them, whether good or bad.

The environment underpins humans’ survival today and tomorrow. As the world warms, it’s important to remember the vital role the environment's natural resources, such as forests, play in balancing human activities such as the burning of coal and other fossil fuels and reducing the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.

Hence, teaching our children about the environment and the need to protect it at an early age is critical. Environmental education helps children understand the importance of preserving our natural resources and provides them with the tools to become responsible environmental stewards.
