In recent years, climate change issues have become more and more important by researchers, politicians, development actors and other key development actors around the world. International agreements and country specific strategies have been developed and are under implementation. However, initiatives at local level especially within the local communities who are affected by the climate change are still to improve.

A lack of climate change awareness about climate change causes and effect is still a big issue to address at local level. Therefore, Prime Biodiversity Conservation and the FES Rwanda have the objective to increase climate change awareness among young leaders and decision makers. The upcoming new program is part of the FES mandate in Rwanda and it is vital to engage students in sustainable climate change adaptation and mitigation actions for sustainable impacts.

to continue raising awareness among their peers and colleagues

20 participants will be selected from Rwandan universities
