Who is The Pan-African Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA)? We are a coalition of over 2,000 organizations from 54 African nations! We aim to address climate and environmental challenges through a people-centered, rights-based approach. From grassroots movements to policy & advocacy, PACJA brings together communities including smallholder farmers, indigenous peoples, pastoralists, and women on the frontlines of the climate crisis. Currently, PACJA is implementing a variety of projects that traverse direct programming, policy and advocacy, sub-granting and capacity building, mainly focusing on the most vulnerable groups which are “unreachable” in traditional development paradigms lead and co-lead key projects like African Activists on Climate Justice (AACJ),@aacjinaction Galvanizing and Unifying Africa's Action for Resilient Development ( GUARD AFRICA), Strengthening Civil Society for a Just and Sustainable Urbanization (SCEJU) and initiatives such as The Nairobi Summer School on Climate Justice (NSSCJ). @Summer_School1 , African Climate Change, Environmental Report Awards (ACCER) Tutegrated African Coalition for Sustainable Energy and Access @acsea_54 @cjifa_ pacja.org/initiatives/ With support from @DutchMFA , @Sida , the European Union @EU_Commission, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation @gatesfoundation, only to mention but a few we work across Africa to amplify the voices of the most vulnerable and influence global policy through our Designated National Platforms; pacja.org/our-national-platf… Watch the video below and learn how we’re driving climate justice across the continent! 📽️ bit.ly/4eqUSz2 Subscribe to our channel too➡️ #ClimateJustice #AfricaWeWant #PACJA #EnergyAccess #ParisAgreement #Agenda2030 #ClimateAction

The ocean absorbs 90% of excess heat from emissions and ~25% of CO2. At Nairobi Convention COP12 today, PACJA co-hosted a side event with WWF and SWIOTUNA on the ocean-climate nexus for Africa. A thread. 🧵

Ocean belongs in Africa's climate agenda, not beside it. At Nairobi Convention COP12 (7 Oct), PACJA's Charles Mwangi joins @WWF & @swiotuna to build shared CSO priorities on ocean-climate linkages ahead of COP31 & COP32. #ClimateJustice #NairobiConventionCOP12 #OceanClimateNexus

More than 3/4 of NDCs reviewed at the UNFCCC Ocean Dialogue in Bonn now include an ocean-based measure. But high-impact mitigation — green shipping, fossil fuel phase-out, ocean renewables — is only ~12% of those commitments.

The ask heading into COP31 and COP32: finance that reaches frontline coastal communities directly, African science capacity built to match the problem, and ocean governance treated as a justice question. #PACJA #ClimateJustice #NairobiConventionCOP12 #OceanClimateNexus

PACJA and Brazil's @IPAM_Amazonia convened African stakeholders with the COP30 Presidency team to discuss the Transition Away from Fossil Fuels (TAFF) Roadmap — pressing for clarity on how it stays inclusive of African priorities ahead of COP31. #PACJA #ClimateJustice #TAFF

Climate finance & adaptation must deliver for frontline smallholders ahead of #COP31 Key takeaways from PACJA’s Augustine Njamnshi at the @EAFFinfo workshop: - Finance tied to farmer priorities (Paris Agreement Art 9) -Measurable GGA outcomes - Fast-track Loss & Damage support

She delivered the vote of thanks, underscoring the weight of the two days' discussions. A model law is only as strong as the parliaments willing to adopt it. The work now moves from Nairobi's drafting table into 54 national legislatures. #PACJA #PanAfricanParliament #ACLI

A two-day technical consultation on @AfrikParliament's draft Model Law on Climate Change concluded in Nairobi on 29 September, convened by PAP in partnership with PACJA through the African Climate Legislative Initiative (ACLI). A thread on what came out of it. 🧵

The workshop brought together parliamentarians, legal experts, government representatives, civil society organisations, UN agencies and regional institutions to refine a flexible legislative framework African States can adapt to their own contexts.

Hon. Outata Euphrème (PAP, Committee on Agriculture, Rural Economy, Natural Resources and Environment) placed the responsibility on African nations: popularise and domesticate the law nationally, and don't leave that domestication to chance.

In Emali, the project is responding to a real challenge: low income households need equitable access to safe water and communities need a voice in governance. @PACJA1 @emalidca_ #MajiNaTaka
