The African Summit has come to an end.
And there was a healthy solution:
TAX THE RICH !

In Nairobi treffen sich bis morgen afrikanische Staats- und Regierungschefs und 20.000 Delegierte zum #AfricanClimateSummit. Mit dabei sind Jugenddelegierte aus unseren Projekten sowie Mitarbeitende unseres Regionalbüros.

„Ich freue mich auf die Gespräche mit anderen jungen Menschen und den politisch Verantwortlichen. Wir müssen aber auch dafür sorgen, dass das, was gesagt wird, umgesetzt wird“, sagt unser Delegierter George Kande (17, Zambia).

The first African Climate Summit '23 [ ACS23 ]
STARTING TODAY
is far more important than the
28th UN Climate Change Conference COP 28

The COP28 has over the years turned into a power house of beautifull words but no business. (US TX: too much hat and no cattle 😋 )
The ACS23 has a real good chance of a continent choosing for solar and wind. Responsibly mining precious materials. Saving diverse habitats.

Try to find that in Dubai !
