What is the role of youth in the fight against climate change? How can young African activists raise their voices and demand more from global leaders? Is there a path to a just transition?
In this episode, we’re joined by Nyombi Morris, a Ugandanenvironmental activist renowned for his advocacy for climate justice and gender equality. Nyombi’s activism began when he urged world leaders and polluters to take action on climate change, inspired by the devastating rains and floods inUganda. He is also the CEO of Earth Volunteers, a non-profit organization he founded to further his mission.
This episode was recorded a few months ago but since then, Nyombi’s situation has dramatically changed. The Ugandan government has accused him of “promoting homosexuality,” forcing him into exile. The 26-year-old climate activist, who became outspoken about LGBTQ+ rights after his sister was expelled from school last year for being lesbian, has faced intense backlash for his advocacy.
