Moses Ojunju – Global Foundation for Climate Change Africa
Moses Ojunju founded the Global Foundation for Climate Change Africa (GFCCA) in 2022, dedicating it to reducing food insecurity and climate dysfunction by supporting agroforestry, agroecology and community grassroots advocacy – training smallholder farmsteads and communities on these subjects directly. He has both academic credentials from the University of Nairobi – a degree in Agribusiness Management – as well as real world lived experience and conviction for pursuing these goals.
His passion is in restoring degraded landscapes and empowering farmers to do likewise, providing them with knowledge and resources so they and their landscapes can thrive. Through GFCCA Moses has brought forward the Forest Farmland Agroforestry System (FFAS), which involves trees into farm landscape design – these protect and fertilize soils, stabilizing the climate and sustaining crop production. FFAS not only improves overall food security, but sequesters carbon, conserves biodiversity. His training programs have reached over 1,000 farmers, impacting tens of thousands of households, planting over 1.5 million trees and restoring over 2,000 hectares of depreciated lands to full ecological health.
GFCCA has been scaling its operations and expanding its impact across Kenya and into wider Africa since its founding, also partnering with the Regreening Initiative which teaches youth about environmental and climate literacy in public schools in the area. Moses operates from the core belief that solutions to climate change, in order to be successful, must be open, equitable and community-led – he is a consistent warrior for transparency and accountability in all things, especially where it comes to alleviating the environmental and socioeconomic ills of the last century from the grassroots up. This has attracted increasingly valuable partnerships with organizations aligned with GFCCA’s mission of empowerment and equality through healing the ecosystem.
