    Abstract Adolescent perspectives are crucially important for developing sustainable solutions to address climate change yet remain overlooked in the literature, particularly in low and middle-income contexts. Kenya is an important context to explore youth climate solutions, as youth constitute the fastest growing population facing climate change-related challenges, such as extreme weather events (e.g., droughts) and issues of water, food, and sanitation security. This manuscript details a methodology for participatory mapping on climate-related issues that was co-developed with Kenyan youth and community-based organizations in Kenya. The aim of this paper is to describe the design of a multi-media participatory mapping tool to identify and address the interconnections between social, health, and environmental well-being with very young adolescents (aged 10-14 years) in six geographically-diverse, climate-affected regions of Kenya (Nairobi, Kisumu, Kilifi, Naivasha, Isiolo, and Kalobeyei Refugee Settlement). The authors describe methods used to develop a strengths-based multi-media participatory mapping approach that combines user-friendly geographic information system (GIS) technology with arts-based methods (dance, drawing, music, video). The aim is to share these methods and process of co-development to inform future participatory mapping approaches with youth climate-related issues.
