  • 𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞’𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐎𝐏, 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥, 𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 From October 7th to 10th, the African Climate Justice Collective (ACJC) held the first physical African People’s Counter COP (APCC) in Saly, Senegal. Over one hundred participants, from 21 countries, representing social movements, grassroots communities, women, youth, civil society organisations, academics, workers, and others, joined the event.   Many African voices - excluded from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of Parties - were captured and legitimized during the gathering. It was "a moment to denounce the COP system, highlight the impacts of climate change on African communities and showcasing viable alternative solutions", as the final event's Declaration points out.  The meeting provided a fruitful space for delegates to discuss, strategize and come up with proposals for tangible actions that can lead to just climate solutions across Africa. Various themes were discussed during the conference, from food sovereignty and the struggle against false climate solutions, as well as the impacts to the environment and local fisherfolk communities.  Evelyne Awuor, from Kenyan Peasants League, a member of LVC SEAf from Kenya, attended the conference and was glad to share stories from communities where women farmers are not invited to meetings. "I made sure to show up and share their message, thereby forcefully occupying spaces they were excluded in", she concludes. APCC has become a platform to chronicle community resilience and survival in Africa and a great opportunity to exchange ideas and dreams of a better future for all people!
