Hilda Flavia Nakabuye (born 15 April 1997) is a Ugandan climate and environmental rights activist who founded Uganda's Fridays for Future movement. She also advocates for greater gender equality and racial diversity in the climate change movement.[1] One of her environmental concerns is saving Lake Victoria, which connects Uganda to neighboring countries.[2] As part of her activism, Nakabuye visits schools and communities to empower more women to join the fight against climate change, stating that "the climate crisis has no borders".[3] She also created Climate Striker Diaries,[4] an online platform to encourage digital awareness about climate change.
Nakabuye has been protesting in Kampala, Uganda, since 2017 after gate-crashing a climate dialogue by the Green Climate Campaign Africa (GCCA) at Kampala University.[5] It was this event that made her realize that climate change was the cause of the severe weather that had destroyed her grandmother's farm. She began volunteering with the GCCA as a green campaigner but soon felt the need for a stronger movement to evoke effective change.
