The National Youth Climate Compact, is a unified call to action by Kenyan youth adopted at the National Youth Climate Innovation Summit (7–8 August 2025). It captures their aspirations, challenges, and solutions in tackling climate change, rooted in principles of climate justice, intergenerational equity, inclusion, and accountability. The declaration highlights six priority areas: youth leadership and governance, climate financing, circular economy and waste management, digital innovation, youth-led advocacy, and climate-resilient livelihoods, while also outlining concrete recommendations for government, counties, the private sector, and development partners. Ultimately, it affirms the youth’s commitment to mobilize communities, hold duty bearers accountable, drive innovation, and co-create a sustainable and inclusive future for Kenya and the world.
