We have faith - Act now for climate justice. The campaign unites faith-based networks from across the continent - and the world - ahead of COP 17.
NCA works together with African partner organisations to make sure the voices of those who are already being affected by climate chgange are heard. A goal is to ifluence the negotiations to focus less on profit and more on justice.
"Solheim said that he was impressed by the work that has been put in to the campaign. He encouraged NCA and partners to continue mobilising a broad base, and to convey the content of the negotiations back to grassroot level to create enough pressure to influence change," said Moreblessings Chidaushe, program advisor for NCA.
