Agatha Ayebazibwe Siima is the national communications officer for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
She says the Green Schools Initiative, a project started in schools in 2023 to encourage young minds to act on climate change through adaptation or mitigation solutions, is creating "change agents".
"By providing information to young learners, we are trying to create a community or a generation of people who will be aware about climate change ...we want them to know, at this point, what climate change means, what the solutions are but also them being part of creating the solution," she says.
