SUMMARY:Mental Health Round-Table
DESCRIPTION:On June 5th\, The World Environment Day\, we collaborated with Dabaso Youths for Green Future in organizing an open Mental Health Round-table for youths to discuss handling depression\, social media\, mental strains at the workplace and love relationship challenges. \nWe are grateful to our facilitators and youth participants who showed up in great numbers and engaged actively to make the session a success. \nIt is vital to destigmatize the negative perceptions on mental health\, particularly among men. Anyone can feel down\, broken\, and fighting against the world. And when that occurs\, remember to speak up\, share your experiences\, and seek help from practitioners.

SUMMARY:Solar Radiation Modification Stakeholder Briefing
DESCRIPTION:In collaboration with the Green Africa Youth Organization (GAYO)\, we organized a Solar Radiation Modification stakeholder briefing in Nairobi\, bringing together participants from government\, civil society organizations\, and the private sector to train them on the concepts of carbon dioxide removal and policymaking skills. \nSolar Radiation Modification\, also known as solar geoengineering\, is one of the proposed carbon dioxide removal techniques to mitigate the effects of climate change by reflecting sunlight back into space\, preventing it from warming the Earth. It essentially tries to cool down the planet by reducing the amount of sunlight absorbed by the Earth’s system. \nDuring the Briefing\, it was emphasized that Kenya’s SRM policy must address the agriculture (fertilization and rainfall patterns)\, marine (ocean acidification)\, energy (solar technologies)\, and water sectors. \n
