Action for climate and environmental justice

Youth movements for climate justice are an important force in the fight against climate change, and are bringing much-needed attention and urgency to this critical issue. It is essential that we continue to support the voices of young people in the climate change conversations.

Kasoga Shakira, wife to one of the #KCB11 activists, appeared in court with her children, hoping for her husband’s release. She pleads for help from the public, saying it’s hard for her to handle everything alone as the case keeps being tossed around with no clear way forward.

Community voices 🎧🙉👂. We must speak 🗣️ 🔇📣. We can not afford the luxury of keeping quiet in the face of injustice.

For years, the fossil fuel industry has sold us a false promise that oil, gas, and coal will bring jobs, energy access and prosperity to Africa. The reality on the ground tells a different story: 👉🏽 Communities displaced 👉🏽 Wealth concentrated in the Global North 👉🏽 Rising…
