Politics of Climate Activism - A Possible Utopia

Possible Utopia is the podcast exploring the intersection of politics, gender, and leadership to imagine a more inclusive future.

In this episode, we speak with Vanessa Nakate, Ugandan climate activist, founder of the Rise Up movement, and author of A Bigger Picture. She shares her journey from launching Fridays for Future in Uganda to amplifying African voices in the fight for climate justice.

We discuss her leadership, the challenges of being a young woman in the public eye, how she addresses online trolling, and her vision for the future of climate action.

🎧 Tune in to hear what drives her, how she keeps community at the centre of her work, and whether politics might be part of her path ahead.
