Context
Africa is the continent most vulnerable to climate variability and change, a situation exacerbated by the interaction of "multiple stressors," including a heavy reliance on agriculture, widespread poverty, and low adaptive capacity. Climate change, often manifested by sharp increases in temperature, rising sea levels, changes in weather patterns, and other extremes, often has adverse effects on human health, biodiversity, and natural ecosystems, as well as serious environmental, social, and economic impacts.
Faced with these complex climate challenges and intricacies, young green entrepreneurs, women's movements, and African indigenous peoples, with their knowledge and potential, possess assets that are generally overlooked and undervalued in Africa. Young green entrepreneurs, women, and indigenous peoples often make their contribution by creating African startups and women's and indigenous peoples' initiatives to save Africa and the entire planet. Yet, this contribution constitutes a lever for innovation for the mitigation and adaptation of African populations to climate change, with a view to supporting environmental preservation.
