What Is AYNF
The African Youth Negotiators Fellowship strengthens Africa’s climate diplomacy capacity by equipping young leaders to engage effectively in global climate governance and translate decisions into national action. Launched by Green Africa Youth Organization, AYNF is a continental platform designed to close the climate negotiation capacity gap for African youth. It connects climate literacy, negotiation training, structured mentorship, and post COP implementation pathways into one integrated governance model.

Why It Matters
Africa Needs Negotiation-Ready Youth
