The Eco Science Generation Initiative has awarded Malawi’s
James Mwasikakata, an environmental health expert, the 2025
EcoSciGen Scholarship.
Mwasikakata has been selected from a highly competitive pool of 1, 983 applications.
“I am thrilled,” said Mwasikakata. “It is truly an honor to
be among the 96 scholars chosen for this prestigious opportunity.”
According to Mwasikakata, the award will reinforce his unwavering
commitment to advancing a climate-resilient future and promoting environmental
sustainability through research and innovation.
“Over the next 6 months, I’ll be working closely with an
inspiring group of changemakers to co-author a publishable research paper,
attend expert-led sessions, and collaborate on solutions to the climate crisis.
“I’m incredibly grateful to the Eco Science Generation
Initiative (EcoSciGen) team for this opportunity — I can’t wait to learn, grow,
and contribute meaningfully,” he said.
Eco Science Generation (EcoSciGen) is a Youth led
not-for-profit organisation focused on providing actionable solutions to the
climate crisis. Our goal is to create a platform for communities and
individuals to gain knowledge, skills and the confidence to shape our world and
work together toward a climate resilient future.
At EcoSciGen, we recognize that effective climate action
begins with the people who are most affected by climate change. We collaborate
closely with vulnerable communities to enhance their adaptive capacity, improve
livelihoods, and build resilience against the impacts of climate risks.
