It will seek replication models of various response actions that network NSAs have implemented to circumvent inclusive growth challenges in which duty bearers have blocked progress on SDGs achievement in areas of climate justice, health justice, fair distribution of economic opportunities, human rights observance in a context of newly found oil and mineral wealth and the ensuant land grabbing.

We founded and built South Pole to over 1000 employees and made it the most impactful player in fighting climate change. As founders, we still hold >30% in it. I have my board role, am in the people committee, and we have all the interest in making South Pole successful. But we have handed over our operational roles to the next generation of leaders and want to use our knowledge, experience, and networks to generate the highest positive impact. Thus why we just founded Terra Impact Ventures.

John Wabwire SHIKUKU
My Motivation to Join Catalyst Now As a passionate social entrepreneur and climate action advocate, my motivation to join Catalyst Now is driven by a deep commitment to systemic change, collaboration, and community-driven solutions that create lasting impact. 1. Driving Systemic Change for Smallholder Farmers & Climate Action Through my work with Bunyala Agri Climate Action Impact Solutions, I have seen firsthand the challenges that smallholder farmers and fisher communities face—climate change, limited market access, high input costs, and a lack of sustainable solutions. By leveraging innovative approaches such as Black Soldier Fly (BSF) feed production, renewable energy solutions, and digital skills training, I aim to scale sustainable and climate-smart agricultural practices that empower these communities. 2. Collaboration as a Key to Transformative Impact I believe in the power of collective action. Catalyst Now presents an incredible opportunity to connect with like-minded changemakers, share knowledge, and co-create solutions that address global challenges. By joining this network, I hope to bring African grassroots innovations to a global stage while also learning from successful models worldwide. 3. Amplifying Local Voices & Unlocking Opportunities Many grassroots initiatives lack the visibility and support needed to scale. Joining Catalyst Now will provide a platform to amplify the voices of local farmers, youth entrepreneurs, and climate advocates, ensuring they access the resources, funding, and partnerships required to accelerate their impact. 4. Advancing the SDGs & Strengthening the Social Entrepreneurship Ecosystem I am committed to advancing SDGs 2 (Zero Hunger), 5 (Gender Equality), 13 (Climate Action), and 17 (Partnerships for the Goals). Through Catalyst Now, I aim to build stronger networks, advocate for policy change, and implement scalable models that create economic opportunities while addressing climate challenges. Conclusion: A Vision for Inclusive and Sustainable Impact By joining Catalyst Now, I am not just looking to connect—I am ready to collaborate, innovate, and drive meaningful change. Together, we can transform communities, uplift small businesses, and build a future where sustainability and inclusivity are at the core of global development. I am excited for this journey and look forward to making an impact alongside fellow changemakers! 🚀
