Green Zones Africa

Mapping African climate innovators and communities

We're building Africa's first database of grassroots climate innovators. A strategic platform for climate innovators to gain visibility and get opportunities and ideas for collaboration. Breaking innovation silos is the first step to scale climate action in Africa.Our pilot project is Kenya Green Zones, where we are identifying and documenting grassroots climate innovators and influencers in food systems, renewable energy and circular economy.The goal is to feature and amplify the grassroots innovators while mapping regional 'green zones' to highlight the potential for alliances and collaborations.Join the movement by registering on the database, collaborating with us on the Kenya pilot, or launching in another African country.
