Clement Kaponda

Clement is a GPE youth leader, passionate about climate change and education. He is the co-founder of Alliance for World Change (AWC), a non-profit organization led by youth to champion climate change advocacy, focused on marginalized groups in Zambia.

Through AWC, Clement has initiated various projects, including the formation of “Twikatane Clubs” meaning "unity". Members of these clubs receive training from AWC on basic climate change education and go on to sensitize fellow pupils and their communities on the importance of promoting behaviors that mitigate climate change such as tree planting and environmental protection.

Clement is currently in his final year of Master of Science in Peace, Leadership and Conflict Resolution from the University of Zambia.
