![]() ![]() ![]() Unite4Climate Zambia has demonstrated the power of children in changing the world. It has proved to be a successful model worthy of emulation both locally and across the globe. Standing on its promise of giving children a voice, the programme continues to empower young people with tools that will make them effective advocates for change at all levels of society. The past three years of Unite4Climate have shown that levels of information on climate change remain low despite increased media coverage about global warming. The Zambian child still does not have accurate information about climate change, environmental degradation and sustainability, and the impact that these issues have on his individual life. Added to that, those that are aware need further information on how they can engage. The climate ambassadors trained under Unite4Climate have been empowered with skills that will encourage their artistic and media expression to make their educational experiences more engaging, as well as involve them in decision-making. One such empowerment is the opening up of media hubs all over the Ten Provinces of Zambia to make it easy for climate Ambassadors to do their work and to that effect Flava Fm of Kitwe has adopted the young talent on their airwaves 87.7 giving them a Live 30- 45 minutes slot to do their show called Echat. |
