Having dominion over the Earth is about responsibility and service to the planet and its people, because God is not a God of waste and exploitation. - Vanessa Nakate

Many people are calling it an African Cop but it won’t be an African Cop if the communities, the activists are not there.

We need to move beyond dialogues because with every dialogue there is a child dying, with every dialogue there is a family migrating looking for sources of water and looking for food, for every dialogue people continue to suffer.

Africa is on the frontlines of the climate crisis but it’s not on the front pages of the world’s newspapers. Every activist who speaks out is telling a story about themselves and their community, but if they are ignored, the world will not know what’s really happening, what solutions are working. The erasure of our voices is literally the erasure of our histories and what people hold dear to their lives.
