Resilient 40 – A Youth Voice for a Climate Resilient Africa

WE FACE OVERLAPPING AND INTERSECTING CRISES, INCLUDING ECOLOGICAL AND CLIMATE BREAKDOWN.

In pursuing climate action, policymakers cannot forget young people and they cannot forget the gap this creates come to implementation of the said policies we are never part of at creation. We are empowering youth around Africa and diaspora to mobilize for climate action and hold our leaders to account on both the climate and ecological crises.

On the 21 and 22 March 2024, climate leaders and ministers gathered in Hamlet’s renowned Elsinore, at the Copenhagen Climate Ministerial, to align on expectations and envisioned outcomes of COP29 in Azerbaijan this November.

Rethinking the Financial and the economic system for climate justice

In contemplating the intersection of finance, economics, and climate justice, it becomes evident that our current international financial architecture significantly contributes to exacerbating climate change and widening environmental disparities. The prevailing economic system not only perpetuates unsustainable practices but also fails to address the needs of marginalized communities disproportionately affected by environmental degradation.

As we bid farewell to 2024, a year that unfolded with its unique set of challenges and triumphs, we take a moment to reflect on our work with and for youth in all their diversity – a testament to intergenerational intercultural solidarity and our shared accomplishments, and welcome the promise of a new year, we express our sincere gratitude to each member of The Resilient40 for an incredible year of collaboration, passion and growth.
