Who We Are

Building climate-literate communities across Cameroon

Our Story

Soft Power Global was founded to close a gap: young people and women across Cameroon were living the daily realities of climate change and social inequity, yet remained largely absent from the rooms where decisions were made.

SPG exists to change that by building climate-literate communities, training the next generation of advocates, and ensuring that African voices, especially those of women and youth, shape the global climate conversation.
