The school offers tailor-made course modules developed by outstanding scholars, experts, researchers and community scholars and activists from both the South and North. 

The Nairobi Summer School on Climate Justice is designed to provide a timely opportunity for long-standing scholar-activists, community-based scholars and the younger generation of climate justice advocates as well as practitioners from the Global South and North. The school adopts a society-wide focus, targeting sectoral and thematic experts and frontline activists irrespective of formal education and cultural backgrounds. 

It is a continuous learning process since graduates undertake to extend outreach into their respective localities by initiating creative communal action to solve immediate local-level challenges that they consider detrimental to climate justice. This “bottom-up”, “from-below” approach is vital for effective grassroots organizing, and in turn has awakened consciousness about humans living interdependently with nature.  The school has secured its leading role in setting Africa’s climate policy discourse and intervention strategy courtesy of its growing and influential Alumni network of vibrant climate specialists
