Nairobi Summer School on Climate Justice (NSSCJ)
Nairobi Summer School started on 21st August 2021 at the Kenyatta University. The programme is set to target the talented and creative youths with an interest in climate change action. The aims of the program are targeted at closing a gap that has been existent in the global south. Lack of African contexts when handling matters of climate change and environmental issues more often than not fail to address the issues of indigenous people, women, the youth, pastoralists communities and other marginalized communities who are experiencing the effects of climate change on a very increased spectrum without having necessarily contributed to the same. A call to ensure that there is promotion of creative voices, social and scientific innovations that tackle a myriad of issues that revolve in and around environmental issues and climate change are the main objectives of the summer school.
The curriculum that was developed addresses all of the left-out publics and suitable for the various contexts that exist in the global south. The curriculum will be transdisciplinary. The school will aid in advocacy work geared towards an envisioned world that has 0 percent emissions. We look forward to having more enrolments in 2022 and create the change we want to see spearheaded by the youth activists.
