As climate change continues to shape economies, livelihoods, and communities across Africa, the need for practical, future-focused solutions has never been more urgent.
Recognising this reality, Edges Africa, in partnership with YASIF Nigeria, has launched a Free AI and Climate Change Course aimed at equipping young Africans with relevant digital skills for climate action and sustainable development.

By combining climate awareness with practical digital skills, the programme prepares young people to contribute meaningfully to environmental protection, climate resilience, and sustainable development efforts.
