(Global Campus of Human Rights, 2025-12-04) Chep, Akot Makur Chuot

Climate Justice 101: Essential Knowledge, Tools, and Ideas to Drive Action Worldwide
(2025) Global Campus Alumni
Climate Justice 101 is a cross-regional toolkit developed by Global Campus Alumni to introduce key concepts, tools, and practical resources for advancing climate justice and the rights of future generations. The publication outlines foundational terminology—including climate justice, intergenerational equity, climate finance, greenwashing, and the rights of nature—through an accessible “Beginner’s Guide” designed for educators, activists, and community leaders. It then showcases a diverse range of alumni-led initiatives emerging from Africa, Latin America, Europe and South East Europe, the Arab world, the Caucasus, and Asia-Pacific, demonstrating how locally grounded action can shape global climate advocacy. These initiatives include podcast series on African climate justice, workshops for children and schools, regional research on SWANA civil society, lectures on disinformation and gender, experiential learning tools such as a simulated water-crisis negotiation game, and creative storytelling for youth (pages 19–38).
Across its sections, the publication highlights the interconnectedness of human rights and climate action, emphasising community empowerment, participatory education, and decolonial, inclusive approaches to environmental governance. It argues that meaningful climate justice emerges through bottom-up engagement, cross-regional collaboration, and honest reflection on power, vulnerability, and lived experience. As an evolving resource, Climate Justice 101 aims to inspire collective action by demonstrating how individuals and communities can translate key principles into impactful, context-specific initiatives.
Weaponisation of rape: Women and girls in African conflict zones
(Global Campus of Human Rights, 2025-11-27) Kanhiya, Lakshita
Rape in war is a deliberate strategy not a tragic byproduct. Political inaction, legal loopholes and failed peace processes make leaders complicit. Protecting women means prosecuting perpetrators, empowering communities and rejecting silence. The time for impunity is over.
Forced back to terror: Pakistan and Iran’s mass deportation of Afghans
(Global Campus of Human Rights, 2025-11-20) Noory, Shakiba
Pakistan and Iran are currently deporting thousands of Afghan refugees, which is rapidly tearing families apart and is displacing them to an unstable war zone—Afghanistan.

(Global Campus of Human Rights, 2025) Remiddi, Adriano; Barbu, Larisa; Pajović, Vukašin
From 2023 to 2025, the Global Campus and Moldova State University developed a strategic cooperation to advance the promotion and protection of human rights, democracy, and good governance through innovative education initiatives, with a particular focus on climate justice and the rights of children, youth, and future generations. As a result of this partnership, MSU became a full member of GC Caucasus and joined the activities of its regional master’s programme. Implemented together with the Global Campus Caucasus Programme and in coordination with Right Livelihood and the EU Delegation in Moldova, the cooperation strengthened MSU’s academic role in supporting the country’s green transition. This booklet presents the results of this successful collaboration through testimonies and data.
