Over the years, NSSCJ has evolved into a key gathering for shaping climate justice discourse and action. Participants engage in critical discussions and practical, solution-oriented modules that promote fair and inclusive pathways toward low-carbon, climate-resilient development. Beyond the classroom, graduates extend their impact within their communities, launching grassroots initiatives that address local climate justice challenges. Since its inception in 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, NSSCJ has successfully conducted four editions, equipping approximately 1,500 individuals from 87 countries worldwide with the tools and knowledge to drive meaningful climate action. Moreover , the NSSCJ embraces a holistic societal approach, bringing together grassroots leaders, activists, and experts from diverse sectors and backgrounds. It welcomes participants regardless of their educational, cultural, demographic, or geographical context. Eligible participants include climate justice advocates, policymakers, grassroots community leaders, farmers, pastoralists, fisherfolk, Indigenous communities, persons with disabilities, academics, climate scientists, researchers, representatives from smallholder organizations, trade unions, civil society organizations, NGOs, faith-based groups, community-based organizations, self-help groups, youth and women’s groups, and others dedicated to tackling climate change and advancing climate justice through locally led initiatives and actions.
