Climate Justice
The entire continent of Africa, including the IGAD region, is responsible for less than 4% of historical global greenhouse gas emissions yet disproportionately bears the brunt of the climate crisis. Climate-induced droughts, floods, storms, desert locust infestation and heat waves continue to disrupt socioeconomic systems, exacerbate state fragilities and accelerate ecosystem collapse.
Millions of populations in the East and Horn of Africa face extended droughts and intermittent floods leading to loss of livelihoods. This has exacerbated poverty levels, migration and displacement crises, conflict over transboundary resources and increased the cost of disaster risk management for member states.
What We Do
- We support member states' efforts to pressure wealthy nations responsible for historical global emissions to take the lead in taking urgent actions on addressing the climate crisis.
- We support member states advocating for enhanced climate adaptation finance and loss and damage.
- We support local communities and vulnerable populations, including refugees, migrants, women, youth, Internally Displaced persons and marginalised communities facing climate-induced losses in the region by enhancing their resilience, support for their Local Led Adaptation (LLA) solutions and embedding human rights lens into adaptation planning and programs.
