DEPARTURE OF JOHN KIOLI. Today, Kenya’s and Africa’s climate justice movements mourn the loss of a comrade and friend, John Kioli, chair of the Kenya Climate Change Working Group (@KCCWG). To many, Kioli was a justice champion. For more than 24 years, he advanced climate justice and renewable energy policy in Kenya and across Sub-Saharan Africa. To Power Shift Africa, he was a friend. Our director, Mohamed Adow, described Mr Kioli as a true son of Kenya who relentlessly pursued justice for climate-vulnerable communities across the country. “Kioli was the composed, rigorous and steady force that steered and strengthened the Kenya climate justice movement,” Adow said, adding that his passing is a profound loss to the climate community. “I have lost a personal friend.” At the time of his passing, Kioli was serving as a commissioner on the Nairobi River Commission. To Kioli’s family, KCCWG and comrades in the justice movement, Power Shift Africa grieves with you. Fare thee well, dear John.
