African climate activist to follow on LinkedIn

Imagine a world where the people most affected by climate change are left out of the conversation. Where decisions about the planet’s future happen without the voices of those living on the frontlines of environmental disaster. Sounds unfair, right? That’s exactly what one young activist is fighting to change.

That activist? Hilda Nakabuye Flavia, the founder of Fridays for Future Uganda. A voice calling out the climate crisis and lack of diversity in the movement meant to fix it. At COP25 in Madrid, she took the stage to demand that the world listen to those who bear the heaviest burden of climate change.

Hilda's LinkedIn is a platform for truth, a space where uncomfortable facts meet unwavering activism, calling for accountability and demanding change. She lays it all out: how the ultra-rich are fuelling the crisis, why climate justice needs to be at the forefront of COP, and the legal battles that could define Africa’s environmental future. She’s fearless, relentless, and unafraid to make people uncomfortable because the truth needs to be heard.

Follow Hilda to understand the real stakes of the climate crisis, She's not just a voice; she's a catalyst for action.
