Green art: How young people used art, poetry to tell Africa’s climate story

After calls for an end to fossil fuel extraction during the African Climate Summit in Nairobi, it was time to try a different strategy to create awareness. Ndereva Mutua, 26, a painter, did not shy away from this golden opportunity.

“I was up as early as 5am because the government had announced that they would close a number of roads. I wanted to beat traffic so that I get some good space to showcase my paintings in real-time,” he said.
