Over the weekend, I had the privilege of returning to the Young Leaders Forum (YLF), convened by Friedrich Ebert Stiftung Uganda (@fesuganda). This time round, I joined a coruscating youth panel to share my thoughts and experiences on youth-led energy and climate justice efforts. I spoke about the kind of change I’m advocating for—climate justice and a just energy transition that not only accelerates our shift to renewable energy, but also ensures that youth, women, and marginalized communities are meaningfully involved and benefit from it. I emphasized the pressing need for meaningful youth involvement in shaping policy and investment landscapes that respond to the urgency of the climate crisis and the energy poverty scourge, while advancing social equity. I am deeply grateful to the incredible team at FES for the opportunity and for the critical work you continue to do. I look forward to deepening our collaboration to scale youth-led climate action in Uganda and indeed across the continent. [Freedom–Justice–Solidarity]🍀🌍✊🏽 @caliuganda @graUganda @Y4Cofficial
