Climate Justice School

On this International Women’s Day, we celebrate the women who are shaping Africa’s climate justice movement.

Across the continent, women are not only on the frontlines of climate impacts—they are also leading the solutions. From grassroots organizing and community resilience building to policy advocacy and international climate negotiations, women continue to play a transformative role in advancing climate justice.

At the Nairobi Summer School on Climate Justice, women scholars, activists, practitioners, and leaders have consistently been at the heart of the movement. Through the program, women across Africa are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and networks necessary to engage in climate governance, shape policy debates, and drive locally grounded solutions that prioritize justice, equity, and sustainability.

NSSCJ continues to serve as a platform where women’s leadership is amplified—supporting a new generation of climate justice champions who are challenging inequalities, advancing feminist climate perspectives, and ensuring that Africa’s climate future is inclusive and equitable.

This year’s # reminds us that achieving climate justice requires recognizing and strengthening women’s leadership at every level—from communities to global negotiations.
