Vanessa Nakate, a Ugandan climate justice activist started her activism in late 2018. After becoming concerned about her country’s climbing temperatures in her country, she staged a climate protest in front of her country’s parliament building in 2019. Vanessa has come a long way since then, having founded the Youth for Future Africa, the Africa-based Rise Up Movement and going on to speak at the COP25 gathering in Spain.

Early last year, she joined other youth climate activists to publish a letter to participants at the World Economic Forum appealing to companies and governments to immediately stop subsidizing fossil fuels. She was one of five international delegates invited by Arctic Basecamp to camp with them in Davos during the World Economic Forum

According to Vanessa, she is motivated by the need to ensure the survival of the less privileged in her agricultural-dependent country. She has repeatedly stated that if the world continued with business as usual, African farms might suffer from floods, droughts and other adverse effects of climate change, resulting in lowered food production such that only the most privileged (who are also the world’s biggest emitters) would be able to buy food. People who live in villages and rural communities would suffer more than they already do, all of which would lead to starvation and worsened living conditions.

Vanessa Nakate has been in the news recently owing to an incident where the Associated Press cropped her out of a picture taken alongside white climate activists whilst in Davos for the World Economic Forum and fuelling outrage over the erasure of people of colour in climate change and sustainability news
