Our Team

SoNo Collective is a cross-continental network of organisers, educators, and activists rooted in climate justice and anti-colonial solidarity. Our team brings together frontline experience from East Africa and movement organising from Europe, grounded in shared decision-making and accountable collaboration.

We believe leadership must reflect those most affected by climate injustice. Our collective works across power differences, languages, and regions to build sustainable, just, and community-led solutions.
