Description
Abdulaziz Bweete grew up in an impoverished part of the Ugandan capital Kampala. The 26-year-old has seen firsthand the devastating impact of climate change on poor communities. Today he belongs to the youth-led Justice Movement Uganda, and campaigns for better environmental policies. His activism has landed him in jail already, an experience he calls "hell on earth" but Bweete remains undeterred. "Eventually, we shall have a win," he says. "Never at any point do I feel that I have to give up." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
