Hear from three young Zambian Climate Ambassadors about the environmental problems in their communities and why they want to help teach their neighbors about climate change and environmental sustainability

Nearly 200 children from all nine provinces of Zambia are heading back to their hometowns after attending the first of Zambian Children’s Climate Conference in Lusaka, Zambia this week. Youth delegates were picked to represent their areas as they learn about climate change and global warming, and they hope to continue to spread the lessons of the conference now that it is over. Each youth attendee has created an action plan they now will start to implement back in their home districts. The delegates, aged 12 to 18, will reconvene in August to present the progress they’ve achieved, continue with their climate change education, and be given additional training.
