Climate justice in education must acknowledge and respond to the injustices associated with gender, geography, poverty, youth, disability and other characteristics in a way that is uplifting and empowering. In this blog, Alice Saisha, Catherine Boyce and Fernanda Gándara explore what this looks like in practice.
In this joint blog with Cambridge University and CAMFED, we discuss how young women can build climate-smart rural livelihoods across rural Africa.
CAMFED received the 2019 UN Climate Action Award in the ‘Women for Results’ category for young women’s grassroots action on climate change in rural sub-Saharan Africa.
