Coalition seeks mass action for climate justice in COP27 talks

Civil society groups from Africa and the Arab world have called for a global mass mobilisation of people to address climate crisis and other injustices, to take place around the world during the COP27 global climate talks in November.

...Director of the think tank Power Shift Africa, Mohamed Adow, said: “For far too long, Africa has been controlled by outside interests – a resource pool for extraction and export, and a dumping ground for the practices and technologies no longer wanted elsewhere.

“The COP27 Coalition is a space for Africans to take back control of our collective future. Civil society representing hundreds of organisations and millions of people across the continent are stepping up to show what an Africa that puts communities and well-being at the centre of its priorities could look like.
