Green Conservers, a youth-led movement advocating for climate justice, is deploying solutions like decentralized renewable energy and agroecology. The East African Crude Oil Pipeline project has disrupted communities, particularly impacting women who are primary caregivers and food producers, leading to land acquisition, economic disruption, and tensions between farmers and pastoralists. The challenges faced by communities affected by energy development projects like EACOP highlight the importance of measuring development in terms of improved livelihoods, well-being, energy access, social harmony, and opportunities for future generations. The voices of women from Diloda emphasize the need for a holistic approach to development that prioritizes the well-being of those most affected and ensures their lives are truly improved. Climate solutions experts should focus on solutions that benefit all members of society and address the specific needs of vulnerable populations like women in impacted communities.
