Supported by the Next Level Grant Facility, Kambi Moto shows how youth-driven solutions can address environmental challenges while promoting education, dignity, and collective responsibility in informal settlements.

⛽ Why is it so hard to build movements against fossil fuel industries, you ask? Because too many climate solutions are still designed far from the people they’re meant to serve. Because strategies are shaped in meeting rooms, not in the streets, farms, or villages where the real impacts are felt. Because we keep importing ideas instead of trusting the wisdom already rooted in our communities. ✨ On moving from top-down to community-rooted: We need to root our frameworks in lived African realities—not foreign assumptions. How do we shift from frameworks written in boardrooms to solutions born in communities?

🌱 The idea of a Just Transition started in the labour movement, rooted in the fight for workers’ rights and dignity in the face of change. In this video, trade unionist Kingsley Ofei-Nkasah shares why climate policies must centre workers, especially in Africa. The Core Principles for a Just and Equitable Transition in the World of Work demand more than green jobs. They call for labour protections, social safety nets, gender equality, and fair climate finance, all anchored in law and led by inclusive dialogue. Because a greener future should never come at the cost of those who build it. 🎥 Watch Kingsley’s powerful reflection on climate action that puts people first. #JustTransitionPlatform #DecentWork #ClimateJustice #WorkersRights #GreenEconomy #AfricaVoices

🎥 What role does the media play in shaping a Just Transition? At the Just Transition Platform launch, we asked journalists to reflect on their role in amplifying community voices and shifting the narrative around climate, work, and equity. Because how we tell the story of a Just Transition will shape who it serves.
