International Greening Africa Together Climate Run 2023

08 and/or 15 July, 2023

Together for Climate Justice!

Join the African-European Climate Partnership and participate in the Global Climate Run/Walk to support African Climate Action Community Projects.

The African Network Greening Africa Together offers you the opportunity to pair up with someone from Africa or Europe and participate in the run/walk locally, fostering a united impact.

Taking to the streets for climate awareness is essential but not enough. To achieve Climate Justice, let us actively support climate action projects in communities suffering the most from the climate crisis.

How does it work?

1. Register on the website and choose a project to support.
2. If you do not already have a partner, you will be matched with someone from the other continent
3. Download and print your Climate Run Sponsorship Sheet.
4. Ask your friends, family, and companies to support your team by filling out and signing the Sponsorship Sheet.
5. Participate in the local run/walk, enjoy the experience, and earn a stamp from the jury based on the distance you cover.
6. Let your sponsors know about the total distance your team covered.
7. Sponsors will then make a donation equivalent to the sum of the distance covered by your team in kilometers.

The best teams can win certificates for the following criteria

1. Longest distance accomplished
2. The youngest/oldest team participating
3. Team with the best/expressive photos
4. Team with the highest number of sponsors
5. Most social media likes on your posts with the #GATOCLIMATERUN23
