🚁 Heli view: Climate literacy stands at just 37% across the continent
Africa’s green economy is hampered by a lack of public awareness among the young around climate issues.
The overdue solution is a major investment in climate education that's unlike anything Africa has seen before.
No new tech or innovation is needed, just the will (and funds) to teach the bottom two-thirds of the age pyramid.
Stunning fact: Average climate literacy – just knowing there is an issue – stands at 37% in Africa.
In Europe and North America the number is 80%.
Education levels: Rates vary by country depending on attention to climate in schools.
