Abstract/ Overview
The Government of Kenya recognizes the threat that climate change poses to the environment. In this regard, the government developed various climate change response policies, strategies and action plans to deal with the impact of climate change. However, individual, institutional and societal capacities for youth climate action remain weak, although youth are the ones who will bear the future costs related to climate change.1 These capacity gaps are attributed to inadequate skills in financial management, communication, negotiation, proposal writing, research and policy formulation. Without adequate capacities among the youth, it will be difficult to reap the benefits of the youth dividend as it relates to climate change action.
