Environmental leadership and role of young people in climate change

 Inspired by the late Professor Wangari Maathai, Patricia Kombo will not stop at anything to protect the environment. Patricia Kombo, a young climate activist  in Kenya and the founder of the PaTree initiative, has planted over 10,000 trees as of 2021. Her passion has seen her named a United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification Land Hero. She has collaborated with academic institutions to ensure children are taught the importance of environmental conservation from a young age. With the pandemic at hand, she has had to look for means to overcome the setbacks brought by the pandemic to keep her projects running.
