| Summary: | A study of the perspectives of young indigenous men and women in rural communities in Kenya shows that strong institutions for local governance, inclusive decision-making and collective action are key for social equity and climate adaptation. To achieve this, we need to:

(2) promote young women’s and men’s leadership and networks, together with inter-generational exchange of experiences; and
(3) build strategies and partnerships that are responsive to locally-identified youth needs. |
