TIME100 has named Kenyan climate activist Elizabeth Wathuti the recipient of this year’s ‘Time100 Impact Award’ alongside Indian actor Ayushmann Khurrana, American South Korean-based singer Eric Nam, American actor and Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan as well as Iraqi American activist Zainab Salbi.
TIME100 said Ms Wathuti, 28, was selected for the coveted award because she is dedicated to the legacy of the late Wangari Maathai as she helped craft a three-year strategy for the Wangari Maathai Youth Hub and has also been the lead coordinator of the first-ever African Youth Climate Assembly.
