CORE BELIEFS
Liberian Youth Initiative on Climate change believes that:
Climate change will be slowed by people and organization taking action
collectively.
Young people are most impacted by climate change and are among our most
powerful advocate.
Transitioning to just low-carbon economy demands the generational characteristics
that millennial posses: optimistic, collaborative, education and technologically
savvy.
Educators are critical messengers of climate change and that energy literacy and
climate change education is part of the solution.
We believe that dramatic change requires personal and societal responsibility,
empathy, courage and tenacity.
Educating other is a key solution to climate change as it builds climate literacy. The
more people that are knowledgeable about the issue and comfortable talking about
it, the bigger impact we can have as a society.
