INTEGRITY TALK 17
Climate finance: Where is the money going and is it really ensuring water resilience? A discussion on climate finance tracking for adaptation, with a focus on water and sanitation.

[PACJA @PACJA1]

Two continents. One shared vision for climate justice.

On the sidelines of #SB64 in Bonn, #PACJA and the #AmazonEnvironmentalResearchInstitute (IPAM) made history by signing a landmark Memorandum of Understanding, formalising a powerful South-South partnership between Africa and the Amazon.

Founded in Brazil, IPAM is a leading scientific research institution dedicated to biodiversity conservation, sustainable development, and the protection of the Amazon and Cerrado biomes — some of the world's most critical ecosystems. Their work centres on empowering local communities and shaping public policy for the responsible use of natural resources.

PACJA brings together over 2,000 organisations from 54 African countries, advancing climate justice for the continent's most vulnerable communities. IPAM champions the rights of Amazonian communities and the integrity of the world's largest rainforest.

Both regions are home to frontline communities bearing the heaviest costs of a climate crisis they did not create. Both are fighting for forests, for people, and for a future built on justice — not extraction.

This MOU is the beginning of a deeper collaboration — connecting Africa's climate justice movement with one of South America's most respected environmental research institutions, and strengthening the voice of the Global South in shaping the future of our planet.

Because the forests of Africa and the Amazon don't just belong to us. They belong to the world. 🌱

The green transition conversation is incomplete without the money conversation.

African countries are being asked to industrialise cleanly, decarbonise fast, and service debt simultaneously — while holding the smallest share of the capital needed to do any of it. The architecture of global finance wasn't designed with this in mind. Neither was most of the climate policy coming out of Brussels.

As part of the S&D Africa Days, @FEPS_Europe is convening two sessions that sit at the intersection of these tensions — bringing together African youth representatives, trade union leadership, legal experts on international investment, and sovereign debt specialists to challenge the assumptions built into the current framework.

Green industrialisation without tax justice is just a new set of extraction conditions with better branding.

The first session asks what shared responsibility actually looks like when the countries most exposed to climate risk are also the least positioned to finance the transition. The second goes upstream — to the debt structures, tax frameworks, and financial rules that determine whether African economies have fiscal space to act at all.

These are not parallel conversations. They are the same conversation, running on different tracks. Join us for both.

🌊The ocean is not a side issue in the climate crisis. It is at the heart of it.

Yesterday, #PACJA joined @WWF and other partners for a high-level consultative dialogue at #SB64 on "Raising Ambition on the Oceans-Climate Nexus" — an urgent conversation that is long overdue on the multilateral stage.

Representing PACJA was Philip Kilonzo, Head of Policy, Advocacy and Communication, who brought to the table the Alliance's track record in building exactly these kinds of cross-agenda synergies — from dialogues hosted at the Africa Pavilion at COP30 in Belém, to the recently concluded 7th Africa Climate Talks at AFRSD.

Philip underscored what PACJA has championed consistently: that biodiversity — including ocean biodiversity — must sit at the centre of climate action, not on the margins. And that achieving this requires robust, inclusive processes that bring non-state actors meaningfully into the conversation — not as observers, but as drivers of change.

The dialogue surfaced a hard truth: the ocean remains remote to most civil society actors driving climate action. Siloed implementation of multilateral agreements continues to block the very synergies needed to secure a climate-resilient future. National level action and global reform are two critical levers that must be pulled — together.

One thing is clear: biodiversity conservation without integrity is greenwashing. And PACJA will continue calling it out.

This conversation also marks the beginning of a potentially deeper collaboration between PACJA and WWF on strengthening the ocean-climate-biodiversity nexus.

⚖️ Today at #SB64, #PACJA's Dr. @mithikamwenda stood with Afrodescendant communities and said what needed to be said:

Climate reparations are not charity. They are a debt — owed by wealthy, high-emitting nations to Africa, to Black communities globally, and to every community paying the price for a crisis they did not cause.

The ICJ agrees. 141 UN member states agree. The Paris Agreement agrees.

📰 The message from Bonn is getting louder — and the world is listening.

This week, PACJA's SB64 press statement made headlines across Africa. "Africa is not asking for charity. Africa is demanding justice" — the line is now traveling through newsrooms from Ghana to Nigeria.

Coverage is highlighting our core demands: real delivery on climate finance, a just transition that includes the 600 million Africans without electricity, and adaptation outcomes that reflect people's lived realities — not just technical metrics.

Outlets are also amplifying our alarm over the omission of Loss & Damage and National Adaptation Plans from the SB64 agenda.

Two newsrooms. One unmistakable message. Africa's voice is being heard.

This partnership reflects a shared commitment to advancing South–South cooperation and forest-based climate solutions that center communities and ecosystems. The MoU will guide collaboration over the next three years to support more inclusive and just climate action globally.

[Mithika Mwenda, PhD @mithika_mwenda]

The agreement establishes a framework for joint work in sustainable development, environmental governance, climate action, biodiversity conservation, and community resilience. It also opens pathways for knowledge exchange, joint research, and coordinated initiatives across Africa

PACJA signs MoU with IPAM

In the sidelines of #SB64, #PACJA and the Instituto de Pesquisa Ambiental da Amazônia (#IPAM) signed a Memorandum of Understanding to strengthen collaboration on climate justice, environmental sustainability, & inclusive development.

🤝 Behind every public stand is a partnership being built.

PACJA convened a meeting with Civil Society Organisations and the newly appointed Chair of the African Group of Negotiators (@AGNChairUNFCCC ) — and we started with congratulations, as he steps into the leadership of Africa's climate negotiations at a defining moment.

In his remarks, the Chair affirmed something we've always believed: CSOs are not bystanders in these negotiations — we are drivers of outcomes. He pointed to the Loss & Damage Fund secured at COP27 in Egypt as a direct result of sustained civil society pressure.

He was clear on what's at stake at SB64 and beyond: adaptation, climate finance, and Loss & Damage remain the non-negotiables for Africa — and developed countries must be held to their commitments under Article 9.1 of the Paris Agreement on climate finance mobilisation.

PACJA's response was simple: we stand with the AGN. Our commitment to supporting Africa's negotiating position — in the rooms, in the statements, and in the streets — does not waver.

One continent. One voice. One demand for justice. 🌍✊

SB64: African civil society calls for decisive shift from climate promises to climate justice implementation

https://t.co/Oo83AQtXb6

[PACJA @PACJA1]

🌍 Climate justice doesn't begin when the gavel drops. It begins in the rooms before the rooms.

On June 5th, ahead of the official opening of #SB64 in Bonn, @PACJA joined civil society partners from the Philippines, Brazil, and Colombia — united under the Fastenaktion climate advocacy network — for a critical pre-negotiation workshop.

Why does this matter?

Because carbon markets are expanding fast — and the safeguards meant to protect Indigenous Peoples and local communities are full of gaps. Because climate negotiation dynamics are complex, and frontline communities deserve advocates who understand every angle. Because Africa loses up to $7 billion annually to climate impacts — a figure projected to hit $50 billion by 2040 — and that demands a coordinated, informed global south voice.

This workshop was that coordination in action. Cross-regional. Cross-continental. Uncompromising.
And this is just the start. Over the next two weeks at SB64 (June 8–18, World Conference Centre Bonn), PACJA will be pressing Africa's agenda through press conferences, an MOU signing with IPAM, and a landmark Africa–Brazil dialogue shaping the road to COP31 and COP32.

Africa did not create this crisis. But Africa will help solve it — on its own terms.

🎙️ We just walked out of our first press conference at hashtag#SB64 in Bonn — and we left nothing on the table.

Speaking on behalf of African civil society organisations at the #UNFCCC negotiations, #PACJA delivered a message that cannot be ignored: the era of delay, dilution and deferral is over.

Here is what we told the world today:
Africa is responsible for less than 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions — yet its people are losing homes, farms, and lives to droughts, floods and cyclones they did not cause. That is not a climate problem. That is a justice problem.

We raised the alarm on something deeply troubling — Loss & Damage and National Adaptation Plans have been quietly dropped from the SB64 agenda. We stand firmly with the Africa Group of Negotiators: negotiations without these are not negotiations at all. They are an abdication of justice.

Our three demands, stated clearly today in Bonn:
🔹 Climate finance off the spreadsheet and into communities — public, grant-based, predictable, directed to women, youth, Indigenous Peoples and frontline populations.
🔹 A just transition built for Africa, not imposed on it — 600 million Africans still lack electricity. Decarbonisation without development is not justice.
🔹 Adaptation treated as the survival issue it is — not a footnote, not an aspiration. A funded, implemented, measurable commitment.

SB64 must not become another procedural stop on the road to #COP31. The credibility of the entire UNFCCC process is on the line.

Africa is not asking for charity. Africa is demanding justice.
