Advocacy Framework and Strategy towards COP29

This campaign framework is premised on the knowledge, wisdom and resources that African People have within themselves to make the changes they want to see. It underscores the need to address the inequities and injustices that have been highlighted by the Covid-19 pandemic, including the environmental and social imbalances that underlay them, and the political and economic power structures that perpetuate those inequities and imbalances. This strategy has a sharper focus on issues of Climate Justice.

At the heart of this strategy is the social organizing and working in all spaces and realms of power and decision making to advance policy and practice change in furthering Climate Justice.

The Pan African Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA), the civil society and broader Non-State Actors will be consummate contributors to the African continent’s transition to low-carbon, climate-resilient, fair and equitable development trajectories through addressing inequalities, valuing nature as a sustainable basis for social and economic wellbeing; support and promote intersectoral, multi-stakeholder decision-making processes to develop collaborative ‘from-below, people-centred, gender-inclusive local strategies for improved wellbeing and prosperity; reforming financial systems; and greening economies.
