Nakate is among a new generation of campaigners against global warming who also include Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg, who have been among the participants in the ongoing Cop26 conference in Glasgow.
The Ugandan activist has been the leader in a big campaign to save Congo’s rainforest, which is facing massive deforestation.
