Why should young people prepare today?
Access to energy and water, waste management, forest preservation and urban development will shape the DRC’s future. Climate change increases risks for people, agriculture and ecosystems.
Generation 2040 has a clear ambition: to prepare young people to understand these changes and take part in addressing them. By connecting knowledge, skills and local initiatives, the approach aims to foster practical solutions for Congolese communities.
