About AYGCC
The African Youth Gender and Climate Conference (AYGCC) is an annual forum uniting young African leader to tackle climate challenges while championing gender inclusivity. Standing at the forefront of addressing climate challenges through an inclusive lens, AYGCC recognizes that climate change disproportionately affects women and girls across Africa.

Through this flagship event, we empower youth to develop and implement innovative, inclusive solutions for sustainable development across the continent, with particular emphasis on green jobs, sustainability, and amplifying marginalized voices in the fight against climate change.
Hosted annually in November in Ghana, AYGCC extends beyond the main conference through year-round virtual events and sustainability initiatives including recycling and tree planting programs.
