The African Climate Alliance Ambassador Programme 2027 is a nine-month hybrid leadership and training programme designed to support young activists working on climate justice and strengthen their knowledge, skills, and capacity to create change in their communities. The programme focuses on climate justice and related environmental and social issues, while developing participants’ advocacy, community organising, and communication skills.

Selected participants will take part in four learning schools, peer-to-peer learning and mentoring activities, and local project leadership. Through these activities, ambassadors are expected to apply their knowledge to local initiatives that advance climate justice and contribute to the work of the African Climate Alliance.
