WHAT WE DO
Campaigns
At the Pan African Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA), we are committed to driving transformative change across Africa through our dynamic campaigns. Our initiatives are designed to amplify the voices of communities on the frontlines of climate change, advocate for equitable policies, and hold global leaders accountable for their environmental commitments.
At the Pan African Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA), our campaigns are at the forefront of advocating for climate justice across the continent. Two of our flagship initiatives, the Keep Your Promise Campaign and the Climate Justice Torch Campaign, exemplify our commitment to holding global leaders accountable and amplifying African voices in the climate discourse.
Key Campaigns:
Keep Your Promise Campaign
This campaign, which ran for two consecutive years, sought to ensure that nations upheld their pledges under the Paris Agreement, emphasizing accountability and tangible action in the global climate agenda. Launched in 2023, the Keep Your Promise Campaign is a pivotal initiative aimed at ensuring that nations honor their commitments under the Paris Agreement. As we approach COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, this campaign emphasizes the urgency of translating pledges into tangible actions.
Our Objectives Include:
- Accountability: Monitoring and evaluating the progress of countries in meeting their climate finance and emission reduction targets.
- Transparency: Advocating for clear reporting mechanisms to track the allocation and utilization of climate funds.
- Equity: Ensuring that financial resources are directed towards the most vulnerable communities disproportionately affected by climate change.
Through grassroots mobilization, policy advocacy, and strategic partnerships, the Keep Your Promise Campaign strives to transform commitments into concrete actions that benefit African communities.
Climate Justice Torch Campaign
Launched during the Africa Climate Week in Libreville, Gabon in August 2022, this campaign highlighted the resilience of African communities facing climate challenges. It provided a platform for them to voice their concerns and influence international discussions.
Key Aspects of the Campaign:
- Awareness Raising: Highlighting the resilience and adaptive strategies of communities facing climate adversities.
- Youth Engagement: Empowering young climate activists to take leadership roles in advocating for sustainable policies.
- Policy Influence: Presenting a unified African voice in international climate negotiations, ensuring that the continent's unique challenges and solutions are recognized.
The torch serves as a beacon of hope and a call to action, symbolizing the collective resolve of African nations to pursue climate justice and sustainable development.
