Climate Justice International
At Climate Justice International, we belabor on climate change, justice and equity supporting indigenous communities to cope with climate impacts and changeover to green-pathways. Working with vulnerable communities in Kenya and Africa, we help them make their livelihoods and safety more resilient to climate change.
We do this from a social-justice prism that; - human beings are meant to live in a just World and in respect to human rights, equity and integrity to our environment. Anything less than that is catastrophic. We believe that global, national and local policies, programs and practices must be anchored in the theory of environmental justice.
