Authentic transformation originates from the grassroots level. Grassroots movements advocate for the cessation of fossil fuel financing and the promotion of community-driven energy initiatives. #COPtoCommunities Climate Debt Obligations

COP decisions must translate into real funding for vulnerable communities on the frontline. #COPtoCommunities Climate Debt Obligations ActionAid Kenya Ministry of Environment, Climate Change & Forestry EcoVistaKe Activista Nairobi Chapter

Put resources where people live: informal settlements, rural farms, and frontline communities. Justice-based financing system is the foundation of real adaptation. #COPtoCommunities Climate Debt Obligations

Communities don’t need political rhetoric they need real resources for resilient homes, early warning systems, and stable livelihoods that can withstand climate extremes. #COPtoCommunities Climate Debt Obligations ActionAid Kenya Ministry of Environment, Climate Change & Forestry EcoVistaKe Activista Nairobi Chapter

Climate change negatively affects biodiversity and natural ecosystems. #COPtoCommunities Climate Debt Obligations Ministry of Environment, Climate Change & Forestry

Communities deserve climate reparations Not debt. #COPtoCommunities Climate Debt Obligations ActionAid Kenya Ministry of Environment, Climate Change & Forestry EcoVistaKe Activista Nairobi Chapter

A key response from today’s discussion: A Just Transition for Africa is not primarily a climate imperative it is an economic imperative. Because Africa’s problem isn’t too little extraction. It’s who extraction has always served. #COPtoCommunities Climate Debt Obligations

A Just Transition asks Africa to transition away from extraction without transformation towards economies built on: • Value addition • Decent jobs • Energy access • Industrialisation that serves people, not shareholders. #COPtoCommunities ActionAid Kenya EcoVistaKe

After COP30, a just energy transition must also mean a just transition for waste pickers – from informal, risky work to protected, dignified green jobs. ClimateDebtObligations should help make that shift real. #COPtoCommunities ClimateDebtObligations Ministry of Environment, Climate Change & Forestry

COP30 delivered a breakthrough for climate justice by finally acknowledging waste pickers as vital climate contributors. Yet for those toiling in dumpsites daily, has life truly improved post-talks? #COPtoCommunities Climate Debt Obligations ActionAid Kenya Ministry of Environment, Climate Change & Forestry

Another COP concludes, yet frontline communities endure worsening crises without change. Honor Climate Debt Obligations by turning commitments into tangible support on the ground. #COPtoCommunities

Every shilling going to fossil fuel projects is a shilling taken from hospitals, schools and resilient livelihoods. Climate Debt Obligations must finance agroecology and community-led solutions, not more crisis. #COPtoCommunities Climate Debt Obligations ActionAid Kenya

Am in support of Climate Debt Obligations must finance agroecology and community led solutions.We need just transition not empty promises. #COPtoCommunities Climate Debt Obligations ActionAid Kenya

Dear Sakaja Arthur Johnson I hope this finds you well. In 2022, when Mukuru kwa Njenga slums was being demolished, no one came out confidently to speak out on this injustice and stand with us, people who’ve known and called that place home for over 20 years.

David Kenani Maraga should be out next president. Any sane Kenyan can see this is the only way out.
