Youths in Africa have been urged to collaborate to chart a pathway for a sustainable environment on the continent.
The Ambassador of Sweden to Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon and ECOWAS, H.E, Carl-Michael Grans, made this point as a guest speaker at the 2021 edition of the “Africa Green Awards”, which focused on the theme “Spotlighting The ECO-Heroes”.
According to the diplomat, the African Green Awards should serve as a springboard to inspire young people to contribute to a clean environment.
He advised the youth to constructively engage with the government, establish a connection with stakeholders, seize the opportunity, and talk and share what they are doing in promoting eco-related activities.

The awards covered the following categories, which include;
