Solidarity & Survival: Climate Justice from an East African Lens Part 2

In this powerful episode of The East African Perspective, we sit down with award-winning Ugandan climate activist Hamira Kobusingye, the 2023 recipient of the 18th Bremen Solidarity Prize. Hamira, founder of Climate Justice Africa, and a voice within Fridays for Future Africa.

We discussed the intersection of climate injustice with gender, race, and postcolonial inequality. Why is Africa being asked to pay for the very crisis it had little or no hand in creating? Can climate governance globally serve the interests of the Global South without confronting power and resource control?

Together, we lay bare

Gender equality as a prerequisite to climate action

The costs of a failed climate response and vacuous rhetoric

Climate sovereignty-hurriedly and urgent #podcast #eastafrica for East Africa

The redefinition of the climate discourse by youth movements

This can in no way be an episode consisting of mere conversation: it is a call to action. #Climatechange #climatechange #climateaction #climatecrisis
