Every year, the EU proposes to the EU Delegations the organization of Climate Diplomacy Weeks to create awareness on the impact of climate change. The EU Delegation to Ghana has decided to organize the week in 2019 from 25th September to 3rd October, in Kumasi and in Accra. The proposed focus from headquarters for Climate Week in 2019 is youth and their engagement in climate action.
The EU Delegation to Ghana has decided to focus the week on #RegreeningGhana. The activities will be linked to the theme: awareness in schools, beach clean-up, workshops, and roundtable will be combined with tree planting in Ghana.
The champion of the week will be Victoria Michaels, an International Ghanaian model, actress, brand ambassador, and philanthropist.

Victoria owns a charitable foundation which she established in 2013.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Over the last months, youth has been extremely vocal about climate change and its devastating consequences for the planet and for humankind. Youth is making their voice heard, and they have asked governments, companies and all of us to take action.
All over the world, we have been witnessing a considerable number of spontaneous and peaceful manifestations aiming at promoting urgent climate actions and bringing awareness to the implications of passivity. These have been organized and carried out by youth through social media in a display of the next generation's concerns and ambitions.
Particularly influenced by Greta Thunberg and her message, young people across the globe have been participating in the 'Fridays for Future' public demonstrations, coming together in different cities but sharing the same motivations. During these gatherings, they have been spotted with banners and signs asking society "why go to school if there is no future?"
The EU wants to show its support to youth, as we share their concern regarding climate change and value their efforts in bringing awareness to such a worrying and pressing issue. Earth's future depends on our engagement, and so does life as we know it. Hence, we would like to join forces and promote more ambitious climate action, not only inside the EU but also worldwide, through our Delegations and embassies.
