The Speech of the Year? Al Gore just delivered a powerful wake-up call at COP29. A speech that reminds us of what's at stake and demands Action, Accountability, and Ambition, exactly what the world needs right now. With a stark revelation: Florida has more solar panels than the entire continent of Africa. For decades, Al Gore has sounded the alarm, championed bold solutions, and inspired millions. Now is the time to act decisively. The planet can’t wait. The Climate Reality Project Climate Collective African Climate Reality Project African Climate Stories #Cop29

Week 2 of COP29 Begins The world is watching as critical negotiations on adaptation, climate finance, and equity unfold. Progress has been slow, but the urgency to deliver real outcomes for vulnerable communities cannot be overstated. African voices and perspectives must remain central to these discussions. As we look ahead, it’s clear that the time for action is now. The stakes are too high, and the world expects commitments that leave no one behind. Some of the incredible faces of African advocates spotted by our team: Shalom Iboh, Ahmed Mogola🇩🇯, Hania Mohier, Mohamed Abdilahi Yusuf, Aurélie Kalenga, Yordanos Getachew, Ajah Esther, Prince Israel Orekha Tamsir Sallah, Denise Ayebare, Maxwell Beganim, Karabo Mokgonyana (She/Her), Ferdinand Omondi. #COP29

To the amazing African advocates at Baku, Azerbaijan: your dedication to amplifying African voices and advancing climate justice is truly inspiring.

Thank you for your tireless efforts to push for equitable solutions and for being powerful voices in the fight for a sustainable future.

#Road2COP29 🌍 As delegates, advocates, and activists from across Africa make their way to Baku for COP29, we present this short documentary as a reminder of what’s truly at stake. Africa is in the eye of the climate storm. Rising temperatures, droughts, and unpredictable weather are pushing millions, especially children, to the brink. 2.4 million people face severe hunger in Zambia this year, with children disproportionately impacted. Our message is clear: Africa needs accelerated adaptation finance now. As the Global North pledges to double adaptation funds by 2025, the urgency of this moment cannot be overstated. Africa’s climate finance needs stand at $277 billion a year, but we’re receiving only $30 billion. This gap is more than a statistic; it’s a life-or-death divide for millions. To every voice rising up at COP29, let’s make this message impossible to ignore.
