For Ian Mzee Ngunga, it is time for young people to contribute towards measures that will help mitigate challenges of climate change.

“The future belongs to young people. But the same future is on the verge of being destroyed by climate change. It means there will be no future for us. Young people must now rise to occasion make a better tomorrow,” begins Ngunga during the interview at their school.
