Pan-African Forum on Climate Financing in Africa

The Youth Forum on Adaptation Finance in Africa (YOFAFA) 2024 marked a watershed moment in youth climate leadership, as Yaoundé played host to an extraordinary gathering of over 150 young leaders from across the continent from October 29-31. This transformative forum, culminating in the African Youth Declaration for COP29, emerged as a powerful platform for advancing youth-driven climate adaptation finance. Throughout the three-day event, participants demonstrated remarkable commitment to addressing climate challenges, fostering an environment where education and awareness flourished alongside innovative thinking. YOFAFA 2024, through dynamic exchanges and collaborative sessions, catalyzed new partnerships and strengthened existing networks, creating pathways for youth-led projects to access vital funding opportunities. Beyond its immediate objectives, the forum achieved something equally profound – it forged an unbreakable bond among participants.
