From July 2016 to June 2017 Project 90 continued advocating for low-carbon actions in South Africa. Our focus is developing environmental leadership in youth, enhancing energy security in communities and strengthening cooperation between civil society actors and their involvement in the transition to a sustainably developed and equitable, low-carbon society.

To build an equitable energy future we need to put differences aside Co-operation is key for a sustainable and equitable energy future. Therefore, we need to put our differences aside and agree on a common goal. We, the naked apes, were never the fastest, strongest or toughest creatures.

Our You-Lead Collective now boasts 50 young enthusiastic members from all around South Africa. They are creating partnerships with other like-minded organisations and creating a united voice of the youth from the Global South.
At Project 90, we work with many communities all around South Africa, and so we decided that it would be good to work in our own community too! We hosted an informative session for the local residents in Harfield Village, where our office is based. We discussed how the energy crisis is affecting our local communities and presented some of the practical solutions available.
Every year we get volunteers to assist us in assessing our Leadership Clubs Programme. They travel to all our schools to conduct interviews with the learners and teachers. This year we have two German and one local volunteer.
Since the start of the third school term, the Project 90 Leadership Clubs have been gearing up to host a Day of Action in their school communities. The Day of Action is an opportunity for learners, with the support of their mentors, to take initiative to inspire and mobilise their school communities around a particular environmental theme.
