Description

African communities will be hit hardest by the climate crisis even while contributing the least to global carbon emissions. Indeed, the continent has contributed only 2-3% of GHG emissions, yet communities across the continent are already being hard hit by droughts and flooding - and accompanying challenges including huge locust infestations, food insecurity, health challenges, conflicts and forced displacement.

But many groups in Africa are working hard to adapt and build resilience. We are launching the Africa Climate Action Initiative (ACAI) as an initiative of the Canada Africa Partnership Network to support these much needed efforts! Join us for the launch on May 7th to learn more.

Let’s stand in global solidarity with those on the front lines of climate change. Together, we are imagining a healthy and regenerative Africa and future!

The event will take place by LIVESTREAM on May 7, 2020 at 6pm EDT via https://youtu.be/sqXU2w0Mg3o
