Climate change is already hitting Africa hard – from extreme weather events, to locust plagues, and failed harvests. But, international research and policy bodies, and ‘hot lists’ of influential climate scientists, rarely include African scientists. With United Nations climate talks set to take place in the United Kingdom in November, Selly Amutabi and Michael Kaloki ask whether African science can influence these critical international negotiations. We find out which climate scientists and activists the world should be watching, and why climate adaptation and mitigation depends on African science.

there is no climate justice without debt justice.

global north countries have contributed the most to the climate crisis whilst global south countries are bearing the brunt of it. Now, global south countries need climate finance that will contribute to climate adaptation and mitigation measures. Global north countries (Annex 1 countries - according to the UNFCCC) are to contribute 100 Billion USDs each year that are to go to support global south countries ( Annex 2 countries) but this amount is supposed to be paid back.

we need non-debt creating climate finance!

Today marks one year since the brutal murder of mama Fikile nshangatse

She was brutally murdered for her protests against a coal mining factory in her village

The climate crisis is not only about lowering carbon emissions- it’s also a human rights crisis. Fossil fuel industries literally have the blood of community elders on their hands! It’s a fight for justice!

Watch the video here made by ground works South Africa commemorating mama Fikile

Ongoing protests in South Africa to demand for justice for mama Fikile
No more repression against the Q'eqchi' people

The Q'eqchi' people of northern Guatemala demand an end to the violence against the ancestral authorities and communities of El Estor, Izabal, who have been protesting against the CGN mining company for more than two weeks.

The population in resistance demands the inclusion of the Q'eqchi' indigenous authorities -legitimately recognized by the communities- to participate in the pre-consultation process ordered by the Constitutional Court and ratified in Convention 169 of the International Labor Organization (ILO) on the importance of including indigenous communities in this type of consultations and processes that directly affect their own way of life, organization and spirituality.
