Over 70 African climate negotiators from 35 countries are making waves in Nairobi this week! ๐ The two-day summit, organized by the African Group of Negotiators on Climate Change, is all about securing a fair deal for the continent in global climate talks.
From climate finance to protecting vulnerable communities ๐ก๏ธ, delegates are crafting Africaโs unified stance ahead of major international negotiations. Why does this matter? Africa contributes less than 4% of global emissions but faces some of the harshest impacts โ think droughts, floods, and food crises. ๐
\"This isnโt just about funds โ itโs about survival,\" one delegate shared anonymously. The talks focus on three key pillars: adaptation strategies, loss and damage compensation, and making sure wealthy nations keep their climate promises. ๐ธ๐ฑ
With fiery debates and late-night strategy sessions ๐ฅ, these negotiators are fighting to turn climate justice from a hashtag into reality. Stay tuned โ their decisions could reshape how the world tackles the climate crisis!
