  • WASHE Technical Advisor at Niras Zambia Limited

    Introduction
    The Scottish Government Climate Just Communities (CJC) programme is a flagship programme under the new round of the Climate Justice Fund and will implement community-led projects in Malawi, Rwanda, and Zambia. The purpose of CJC is to develop and deliver, through a participatory approach, a series of interventions that build inclusive and climate change resilient communities. CJC will achieve this by enabling local communities in Malawi, Zambia and Rwanda to identify local priorities linked to the material and social impacts of climate change. Following which, CJC will support the delivery of interventions, developed through a participatory approach with communities themselves, that address these priorities.
    The objectives of CJC are to:
    a) Empower communities to identify their own priorities to be addressed through climate justice support and build resilience to the local material and social impacts of climate change;
    b) Empower the most marginalised within communities (including but not limited to marginalisation for reasons related to gender, age, disability or indigenous status) to participate and take action in building resilience to the local material and social impacts of climate change;
    c) Empower communities to advocate for climate justice and local equity;
    d) Create long-term, sustainable change within communities in line with the pillars of climate justice.
