A Growing Phenomenon in Climate Justice
Launched with the vision of equipping African youth and their global counterparts with the knowledge and tools to advocate for climate justice, the NSSCJ has witnessed an exponential rise in applications over its last five cohorts.
The call for applications for the fifth cohort, announced in April 2025 in Kampala, Uganda, drew unprecedented interest.
The organizers received over 10,000 applications from all five continents, a testament to the initiative’s expanding relevance and appeal.Inspiring Leadership and Transforming Lives
The impact of the NSSCJ transcends numbers. Alumni of the program have become influential actors in climate leadership and policy-making at local, national, and international levels. From leading climate negotiations to mobilizing grassroots movements, these young leaders embody the vision of the NSSCJ. They serve as living proof that investment in youth capacity-building can yield significant and lasting impacts in the fight against climate change.
Shortlisting and Beyond
As the organizers embark on the rigorous process of shortlisting applicants for the fifth cohort, they remain deeply appreciative of the support and dedication of allies like Maurice.
The NSSCJ’s journey is not merely about fostering a robust network of climate justice advocates; it is about igniting a global movement.
Through its work, the NSSCJ continues to awaken, equip, and inspire young individuals to confront one of the greatest challenges of our time.
