Over 70 African climate negotiators from 35 countries are making waves in Nairobi this week! 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 , delegates are crafting Africa’s 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 – think droughts, floods, and food crises.
\"This isn’t just about funds – it’s 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.
With fiery debates and late-night strategy sessions , these negotiators are fighting to turn climate justice from a hashtag into reality. Stay tuned – their decisions could reshape how the world tackles the climate crisis!
