Hilda Flavia Nakabuye, a celebrated Ugandan climate change activist has made it to the global list of 2021 ’50 Future Makers’. Compiled by Time Out, the list celebrates the pioneers and innovators whose daring ideas and bold projects are helping to create the world we all want to see.
According to Time Out, Nakabuye is changing the world by bearing vivid witness to the climate crisis, and keeping up the pressure on political leaders to take serious, meaningful action right now.
“A campaigner on climate change since her late teens, she helped bring the global school strikes for climate to her home country of Uganda in 2019 – with astonishing success. She’s also been outspoken about widening the climate struggle beyond wealthier countries, particularly given that changing climates threaten the global south first and worst.” Time Out said.
Nakabuye has so far helped to sign up more than 50,000 people to campaign for Fridays for Future in Uganda and across East Africa.
