See link in bio for an article by George Timms on the @guardian on Play Green with Kevin Wekesa. “One of the reasons why Play Green works with children because they are inheriting the climate crisis not because they are causing it, they are not victims but active participants in protecting the environment. “ #climateaction

This week I’m headed to @turkiyecop31 with @adapt2win_org to meet with world leaders and climate experts, and push for greater investment in climate adaptation. Stay tuned for updates from Antalya!

A conversation exploring climate, health and the power of collective action.

@iocofficial Climate Champion and Adapt2Win athlete @_yokooh shows the power of mobilizing communities to drive climate action. Leaders must match that effort with adaptation funding that reaches the people putting solutions into practice.

Fom Yako Na Climate Ni Gani? 🌍
Share your climate story.
Kenya has spent the last five years swinging between climate extremes — heatwaves, floods, and unpredictable weather hitting harder and more often. You’ve probably felt it directly: a flooded road, a failed harvest, a hotter dry season than the one before.
Maybe you’ve seen them in the news and felt sad, angry or scared. If that sounds familiar, you’re not imagining it, and you’re not alone.
That feeling has a name: eco-anxiety. It’s the worry and sadness we feel about climate change and what it’s doing to our communities. You are not alone in feeling it. However data about how Kenyans feel about it and what they have to say about it is often left out of global reports.
Many young Kenyans are also taking action: planting trees, cleaning up, starting projects. We want to hear your story, whatever it is.
Tell us:
What changes have you seen where you live?
How do they make you feel?
What are you doing about it?
What do you want leaders to change?
@ouryouth4theclimate , @3es_experience through the Afrikijani Movement - @climatefreskkenya and @lost_stateofmind are teaming up to change that. We’re collecting video, audio, photo, and written submissions from youth aged 12–35 across Kenya — real stories, real feelings, real voices.
You can send a video, a voice note, a photo or a written answer, in English, Kiswahili or Sheng.
What happens to your story?
With your permission, we’ll share it online with #MyClimateStoryKE.
It will go into a youth report for leaders, asking for better protection of nature and more climate lessons in schools.
Who can join: young people aged 12–30, anywhere in Kenya
Deadline: 31 December 2026
This isn’t just a survey. It’s a chance to be counted, heard, and put on the record, by the people actually living this, not just talking about it.
Your voice matters. Let’s bring change together!

A heartfelt thank you to UN Environment Programme for nominating me as UN Kenya Person of the Year Award. Being recognised as a runner up is a tremendous honour and a testament to the work we are doing through @playgreenwithkevinwekesa. Our mission remains clear, using the power of sport to reduce single use plastic, champion reuse, educate young people and inspire every sporting event. Congratulations to the winner Bornface Owino on his climate-smart agriculture, empowering young farmers, promoting sustainable farming and creating opportunities for communities. Asante sana to all who are walking with us and taking care of our planet. 📸 UN office Nairobi

Sustainability in Sports
From the rugby pitch to a clean environment
Our team at Slums Going Green and Clean (SGGC) proudly contributed to waste management during the #SafariSevens tournament at Nyayo National Stadium, Nairobi.
Our efforts helped keep the venue clean while highlighting the vital role of youth and waste pickers in making sporting events more sustainable.
Great sports deserve a clean environment! 🌱🏉

A great day connecting with others working on sustainability and sports. We cannot always recycle ourselves out of climate change. We need systems and frameworks of firstly reducing then reusing. #brusselsclimateweek

Kevin Wekesa’s Play Green Initiative was on the ground at Safari 7s, proving that protecting the environment is part of the game.
♻️ 850kg of recyclable plastic collected
🍾 An estimated 34,000 plastic bottles’ worth of material recovered
🙌 67 volunteers contributing 137 volunteer-days
🎯 85% of the 1,000kg collection target achieved
🏟️ An estimated 33,000 fan visits across three days
Beyond the tackles, tries and celebrations, Play Green turned the Safari 7s experience into an opportunity to make a difference.
