School strike week 199. Today, @Malala , @olya_mrd , activists from @Fridays4future & @Riseupmovt came together in Stockholm at our weekly strike, to share and learn about the link between girls’ education and climate action and to stand in solidarity with all Afghan girls. 1/7
A @MalalaFund report from last year estimates that if current trends continue, by 2025 climate change will be a contributing factor in preventing at least 12,5 million girls from completing their education each year. 2/7

Hello everyone,
Here to tell you that the climate crisis is not a PR opportunity for governments, but a real threat. Developing countries need funding now to help them cut emissions, before the point of no return

Five years on from the Paris Agreement, people have asked questions like “What has been achieved?” Privilege allows you to to reflect on achievements.

For me, I have not seen any success in the last five years!

In January 2019, I started a protest demanding for Climate Justice. I was driven to act by what I was witnessing around me: people in my country losing their homes, their incomes and their lives to extreme weather.

Here to remind you of the fact that the Global South is not on the front page but it is on the front line of the climate crisis!

When I was cropped out of the photograph in Davos, I started to question why I was erased from climate coverage. At that time, there was a lot of agony, a lot of pain. But now I’m on a journey to ensure that this doesn’t happen to anyone else.

I am happy to use my voice and use my platform to always demand for the inclusion of marginalised voices and Indigenous voices. A lot needs to change in the media. Because if we do not tell the stories of those affected the most, how will we get justice and solutions for them?

In 2021, I want our world leaders to treat the climate crisis like a crisis. It’s not something that’s going to happen in the future, it’s an issue that’s already affecting millions of lives around the world. We need drastic action now. #Riseupmovement #FaceTheClimateEmergency
The Paris Agreement aims to keep temperatures below 1.5 degrees Celsius—but I want people to understand that a rise of 1.2 degrees Celsius is already hell for me and other people living in Uganda and on the African continent.  #Riseupmovement #FaceTheClimateEmergency
