Abstract
The introduction reflects on the current state and leadership towards climate justice in Eastern Africa, while introducing the key contributions of the book’s contributors. It argues for putting climate finance at the heart of climate justice, unsettling climate justice to foreground intersectionality, fairness, justice and rights, centres the lived experiences of a youth climate activist (JulietGrace Luwedde), and highlights the importance of putting Eastern Africa at the centre of the climate-justice debate.
