ABOUT
AYC 2025
Africa is blessed with vast natural resources, yet millions of its youth remain unemployed while environmental degradation persists. AYC-NREG 2025 is a continental youth-led gathering that seeks to change this narrative by exploring innovative, inclusive, and sustainable ways for young people to lead in natural resource governance, green entrepreneurship, and climate action.
This year’s conference is held in collaboration with the Minister of State for Climate Change and Sustainability at the Office of the President of Ghana, and it will host over 2,000 participants from across the African continent.
