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.

RESILIENT 40 ADVISORY OPINION ON CLIMATE CHANGE STATEMENT

Africa’s Climate Crisis, Energy Transformation and Environmental Justice

The Global North holds disproportionate responsibility for the climate crisis and biodiversity loss, and disproportionate resources and capacity to respond. These should be moments to respond with urgency and to propose long-term solutions to our current systems’ dysfunctions.

Road to COP31

Resilient40 welcomes the decision to convene the 31st Conference of the Parties (COP31) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in Antalya, Turkey. As a Global South youth-led and youth-serving Network, we view COP31 as a critical political moment to move beyond commitments and confront the lived realities of climate-vulnerable communities, particularly young people across Africa,

A NEW YEAR MESSAGE FROM OUR  FOUNDER AND CHAIRPERSON

As we step into 2026, I extend my deepest gratitude to our partners, allies and communities across Africa and beyond. The year 2025 tested our resolve amid compounding global crises right from climate shocks, environmental degradation, economic uncertainty and persistent inequalities. Yet, it also affirmed our collective power to act with courage, unity and purpose.
