Every story we tell, every safari we run, and every film we make carries a responsibility to the planet. This is how we act on that.
Our Advocacy ResourcesEast Africa sits at the frontline of the climate crisis despite contributing the least to global emissions. Rising temperatures, erratic rainfall, and threatened ecosystems directly impact the communities and landscapes at the heart of everything Ubunifu Africa does. We believe storytelling is a powerful tool for climate advocacy — and we act by offsetting our carbon footprint through verified credits that fund local conservation and community energy projects.
We measure and publish our annual carbon footprint from productions, travel, and operations — and work to reduce it year-on-year.
We purchase verified carbon credits linked to East African reforestation, clean cookstove, and community solar projects.
We amplify voices from frontline communities and support policy advocacy for fair climate finance for Africa.
Through film, media partnerships, and community campaigns, we advocate for:
Climate change hits East African cities hardest among the most vulnerable: informal settlement dwellers facing floods, heat islands, water scarcity, and air pollution. Below are the community challenges we document and address:
Rapid urbanisation and inadequate drainage make nairobi, Kampala, and Dar es Salaam flood-prone during increasing extreme rainfall events.
Concrete-heavy city expansion creates dangerous urban heat, disproportionately affecting outdoor workers and informal settlements.
Shrinking glaciers and erratic rainfall reduce freshwater availability for communities that rely on rivers and rain-fed agriculture.
Charcoal dependence and traffic emissions create serious health burdens, especially for women and children in urban areas.
