This book is boldly unconventional – containing contributions by academics and activists that are interspersed with creative pieces, privileging voices from the Eastern African region, and foregrounding the embodied and real-life experiences of climate change by diverse local communities. Doing so, it exemplifies the new modes of knowledge production, or better: co-production, required in the face of the current climate crisis: African-centred, pluriversal, transdisciplinary, inclusive and transformational. Together, the contributions demonstrate passionately and urgently the need for, and value of, an intersectional approach to climate justice.

Intersectional Climate Justice in Eastern Africa is a terrific and deeply insightful book! A spark of fresh reflection of climate justice concept in the real context of Eastern Africa with flawless specimens from across the Majority World and beyond. A collection of empirical research evidence-based reports that highlights surging inequalities and vulnerability worsened by climate injustice, the book is a bold call to all actors across the spectrum to rethink individual actions, legal and policy frameworks on top of contribution of civil society for most appropriate climate responses. The work greatly benefits from the centring of activist voices from the region.

This book powerfully illustrates two key dimensions of climate justice. First, that local people facing the brunt of the climate crisis hold knowledge, ideas, and solutions rooted in lived experience - wisdom that must inform policy and practice. Second, that equitable access to and governance of healthy ecosystems by marginalized groups offers the most just, feasible, and sustainable path to climate resilience - because it centers basic human rights. Intersectional Climate Justice in Eastern Africa is a vital and timely contribution that affirms the power of local leadership and the urgency of justice-driven climate action.

This is an incredibly exciting and unique compilation of research, commentary and art, exploring intersectional climate justice from a remarkable range of researchers, practitioners and artists, predominantly East African voices. The sheer breadth of the topics explored through different lenses provides one, whether seasoned and experienced or early in their career, with deep insights and understanding of the global crises, the links between climate change and social justice, and issues of ethnicity, colonialism, age, gender, sexuality, citizenship, cultures, poverty and healthcare, among others. This timely, critically important book has something for everyone to explore, learn from and build upon.

Intersectional Climate Justice in Eastern Africa is a vital and timely contribution to climate discourse. It powerfully illuminates how gender, class, ethnicity, and governance intersect with environmental vulnerability in one of the world's most affected regions. Grounded in local realities and rich in analysis, the book challenges one-size-fits-all climate solutions and advocates for inclusive, context-specific approaches. Essential reading for policymakers, activists, and scholars seeking equitable climate action rooted in justice and resilience.
