On September 3rd, in Nairobi, Kenya, African women and girls, acting as guardians of both the land and their communities, united to reaffirm their dedication to shielding our continent from the looming climate crisis. This gathering coincided with the Africa Climate Summit and commemorated Africa Climate Week. Under the banner of the Women and Gender Constituency, this gathering served as a vital platform for introspection and dialogue regarding the pressing needs and recommendations in the face of the Climate Crisis. This dialogue culminated in the formulation of a document titled ‘Claiming Our Narratives: African Women’s Leadership in the Context of Climate Change Outcomes Declaration.’ Explore the comprehensive list of demands put forth by African Women during Africa Climate Week here: African Women Demands Africa Climate Week.
