Held as part of COP28, this session coincides with the historic adoption, at the opening of this global event, of the operationalization of the Fund’s mechanisms on losses and damage linked to climate change.
Participants in this session debated important issues such as access to financing, new technologies and the promotion of innovations driven by youth.
The Hub, launched by HRH Princess Lalla Hasnaa in 2019, is strongly committed to COP28 activities through the organization and participation in events dealing with climate education, social entrepreneurship, decarbonization and access to new technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence.
To this end, the AYCH ensures the effective participation of African youth in these discussions, in harmony with the philosophy of the Hub which aims to provide concrete support to African youth for the realization of their ideas and instill in them an entrepreneurial spirit by in favor of climate action and sustainable development.
In this sense, the Hub supported the participation of around twenty young Africans in this Conference.
The AYCH is a partnership between the Mohammed VI Foundation for Environmental Protection, the YOUNGO network of the UNFCCC (Children and Youth Constituency to United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change), the OCP group and the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University of Benguerir.
Hosted at the Hassan II International Center for Environmental Training, in Bouknadel, near Rabat, the Hub aims to bring out a generation of young African leaders to take charge of climate change, by identifying them, training them and pressing them.
The Hub has six components, namely a Networking of African youth around climate issues, an Incubator to support youth projects dedicated to climate change and to find the resources to develop them and a Training Center designed, developed and built by young people to empower them and encourage skills development.
It also includes training modules put online to strengthen the capacities of young people on climate, water management and energy efficiency, a Forum to facilitate dialogue between young people and with young people, an Observatory for better understand the expectations of young people regarding the fight against climate change and a Dashboard to monitor the project and the mobilization of young people.
The Hub runs a network of young African climate ambassadors who represent it in various activities related to climate action and participate in major international climate events, such as the COPs.
