About the Nairobi Summer School on Climate Justice (NSSCJ)
The Nairobi Summer School on Climate Justice (NSSCJ) is a pioneering initiative of the Pan-African Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA) and its partners, designed to awaken, equip, and inspire a new generation of leaders in Africa and beyond to confront the urgent challenges of climate justice.
At its heart, NSSCJ promotes intra- and inter-generational equity, ensuring the amplification of climate justice perspectives across local, national, sub-national, regional, and global interventions.
NSSCJ serves as a dynamic platform for interaction, learning, mentorship, and networking, fostering the disruptive ideas essential for transformative change in a world grappling with climate catastrophe.
Attendees—comprising scholar-activists, community scholars, young climate justice advocates, and practitioners—are empowered in an environment where innovative solutions are birthed.
Over the years, NSSCJ has become a key hub for shaping climate justice discourse and action. Participants engage in critical discussions and practical, solution-oriented modules that champion fair and inclusive pathways toward low-carbon, climate-resilient development.
Beyond the classroom, alumni extend their impact within their communities, leading grassroots initiatives that tackle local climate justice challenges.
