How (and why) are you taking action on climate change solutions in, for, and with your community?

Ivan Addae-Mensah: Hi there. I am Ivan Addae-Mensah from Ghana. Climate Action isn't just about global policies or big organizations. It starts right here in our communities. I am passionate about taking climate action because I believe it's our responsibility to protect the environment that we live in, whether it is organizing local cleanup events, promoting sustainable living practices or advocating for renewable energy. I'm committed to making a difference in my community. So by coming together and taking action, we can create a greener healthier future for everyone in it. Thank you.

Who or what inspires/inspired you to care about climate change and climate solutions?

Ivan Addae-Mensah: Hey there I am Ivan Addae-Mensah and I'm speaking to you from Ghana. When it comes to caring about climate change, I'm inspired by the natural world around me. From breathtaking landscapes to diverse ecosystems, nature reminds me of the beauty and importance of our planet. But I'm also motivated by the stories of resilience and innovation from communities around the world. Seeing how people come together to tackle climate challenges and create sustainable solutions, gives me hope for the future and together we can make a difference and protect our planet for generations to come. Thank you.
