Today I read a certain article today from one of Kenya mainstream media, daily Nation, and the sentiments from all interviewed from article sounded very deep from majority of speakers speaking from global south and the title I used to this climate review created a picture of our brothers and sister from different countries in Africa, that seems it lingered in their minds.
Like the views of Pacja executive director Mr. Mithika Mwenda indicates the outcomes of ongoing COP29,thats almost to be concluded by tomorrow underline the urgency of African mission to champion African voices and demand justice in the global climate agenda.
As his submision, alongside ministers, activists, and representatives like Elizabeth Wathuti that tirelessly advocates for equitable climate finance and accountability, but the struggle for fairness in all including energy transitions, indigenous people as well to farmers and what they contribute in terms of Co2, etc, remains critical for their fight to see their light that they demand from the end of tunnel as per now.
It shows to them how this summit highlighted how global commitments continue to fall short, as fossil fuel emissions rise and vulnerable nations face devastating impacts. Which to me and to many it sounds very sad, as of how climate reports are concerned in this year 2024 of cop 29.
Like good example already is the effects of climate crises already happening in Pakistan as I write this review and elsewhere.
So, it's the work ofeeveryone to amplify Africa's role in decision-making and push for transparent systems that will be pivotal for ensuring that promises translate into action for those who need it most.
Anyway all of us collectively and relentsly Let's continue relentless leadership and inspiring a united front for climate justice across Africa. Let's let our voices matter despite the expected deal, which we know and majority know the deal our planet needs, in all terms like reducing methane gases, fossils fuels, etc.

The Global South’s frustrations at COP29 highlight the need for fair climate deals that prioritize justice, finance, and action. Africa’s unified voice must push for meaningful outcomes that protect vulnerable nations and ensure accountability.

We are open for a deal that is inclusive, African countries should be given the financial support they need to address the impacts they are already experiencing as a result of this crisis

@annett_michuki An inclusive deal is essential—African nations need urgent financial support to tackle the severe impacts of the climate crisis and drive equitable, sustainable solutions for their communities.

The best approach is to support a deal that strikes a balance: one that is ambitious, fair, and adaptable and if this is not achievable at COP29, we must advocate for stronger commitments in the future, keeping pressure on leaders to act swiftly and decisively.

This reminds us that the fight for a sustainable future and a better Africa is not over. This is a challenge to all of us to support our leaders vocally and with action to ensure that the voice of Africa is heard ,and that our cry is heard and acted upon. Happy to see the climate champions fighting for more change for a better future.

Well said! Africa’s voice in the climate conversation has been underrepresented for far too long, and leaders like Mwenda and Elizabeth are doing crucial work to change that. COP29 must deliver more than just promise it needs to provide tangible outcomes that address the disproportionate impacts Africa faces.

Ultimately, it all depends on whether the agreement can genuinely advance climate justice and resilience for those most in need.
