Why the climate crisis workforce is fundamentally imbalanced
In short: In Africa, most climate-related labor is concentrated in low-income, manual roles. This video explores why a shift toward strategic leadership and local innovation is essential to solving the global crisis.
Entrepreneur Joshua Amponscem highlights a significant disparity in how climate work is distributed. Currently, the majority of the African climate workforce is engaged in labor-intensive, low-income positions rather than analytical or leadership-based roles.
To fix this, Amponsem argues for a transformation in climate funding. The goal is to empower local talent and ensure African youth can lead as key innovators within the global climate movement.
