The Youth Forum at the Blue Economy Event is a dynamic platform designed to engage, inspire, and empower young leaders to play a central role in shaping the future of Africa’s Blue Economy. Recognizing the critical importance of involving youth in sustainable development, this forum brings together young professionals, students, entrepreneurs, and activists who are passionate about marine conservation, sustainable fisheries, ocean-based renewable energy, and other key sectors within the Blue Economy. Through interactive sessions, workshops, and networking opportunities, participants will have the chance to learn from experts, share their ideas, and collaborate on innovative solutions that address the unique challenges and opportunities within the Blue Economy.
By actively involving youth, the forum seeks to harness the creativity, energy, and technological savvy of the next generation to drive transformative change in the Blue Economy. Participants will not only gain valuable insights and skills but also contribute to the development of actionable strategies that can be implemented in their communities and beyond. The Youth Forum aims to create a space where young voices are heard, their contributions are valued, and their leadership in promoting a sustainable and inclusive Blue Economy is recognized. As future leaders and stewards of Africa’s marine resources, the involvement of youth is essential to ensuring that the Blue Economy grows in a way that benefits both people and the planet.
