‘Carbon market initiatives are useless' -- CSOs ask African leaders to reject false climate solutions

A group of civil society organisations and non-state actors has asked African leaders to shun false climate solutions proffered by developed countries.

Mwenda, who spoke on behalf of the group, said Africans are already suffering the adverse impacts of debts, global inequality, poverty and other challenges.He noted that the challenges have necessitated that African leaders must listen to the “voices of their people, especially youth, women, indigenous peoples, and other vulnerable groups to protect its shared future and home”.

“The summit must press for increasing adaptation finance to Africa by more than double and ensuring it is needs-based and reaches communities at the forefront of the climate crisis.
