The so-called "Africa" Climate Summit kicks off on Sept 4.. ..but more than half of the side events, in fact 62%, are being hosted by orgs from the Global North! See here: africaclimatesummit.org/side-events Africa is at the forefront of the crisis. We need African-led solutions! 🧵 👇🏿

Total side events at ACS = 93. Hosted by: African CSOs: 24 African DFIs: 4 Africa IGO: 4 African Govts: 3 Total African-led side events = 35 UN bodies: 5 Global north countries: 5 Other global north entities: 48 Total non-African side events = 58 - that’s 62%

This is unacceptable & shows how the Global North is trying to capture the discussion around Africa's climate future. We must reject this neocolonialism. The disregard & greed of the Global North is what caused this climate crisis. We need African leadership to fix it.

FROM THE DESK OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR As the issue of Divesting Oil Multinationals is being quietly swept aside, it is important to remind us of the environmental, health, and human rights damages the common people in host communities have suffered at the hands of these oil

multinationals who have exploited our rich resources, destroyed our ecosystem, and plunged our people into severe hardship and poverty. We call for a halt on all divestment processes, to ensure that every IOC has completed a cleanup of their areas of operations and the

payment of compensation for losses and damages to the people who have lost their homes, ancestral lands, and sources of livelihood to oil exploration - Chima Williams, Executive Director, EDEN #EnvironmentalJustice #StopDivestment #CleanUpNow #CompensationNow Milieudefensie
