VANESSA NAKATE Climate Activist

VANESSA NAKATE.

A 25-year-old Climate Activist

From Uganda.

A Climate Justice Oracle,

A voice for Africa,

Speaking at COP27 in Egypt.

A witness to the plight of her people

Already suffering from the devastation of climate change.

Entire communities displaced.

Drought.

Famine.

Floods.

Wait.

How is this possible?

Africa emits only 3.8% of greenhouse gases;

USA, 19%. China, 23%. EU, 13%.

Africa faces the stark consequences

Of selfish choices by other nations.

Where is the global will to help?

Nakate asks.

“A promise gives hope for awhile,

But when it is broken

It brings disappointment.”

Enough cheap talk.

ACT.
