Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>vanessa Nakate knows what it\u2019s like to be Black and overlooked. In January 2020, an Associated Press photographer cropped Nakate from a picture of youth climate activists at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, leaving her friend Greta Thunberg and three other white young women in the shot.<\/p>\n

It triggered widespread outrage<\/a>, rightly so, but Nakate regards that very personal experience as a symbol of how the voices and experiences of Black \u2013 and Brown and Indigenous \u2013 communities are routinely erased.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\u201cAfrica is on the frontlines of the climate crisis but it\u2019s not on the front pages of the world\u2019s 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\u2019s 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,\u201d said Nakate.<\/p>\n

Nakate is a 25-year-old, thoughtful, smart and quietly spoken climate activist from Kampala, the capital of Uganda<\/a> \u2013 one of the countries most at risk from climate disasters caused by global heating.Two climate disasters have struck Uganda this year so far: at least 29 people died and thousands were displaced in the city of Mbale in eastern Uganda after heavy rainfall<\/a> caused two rivers to burst their banks, submerging homes, shops and roads, and uprooting water pipes. And in the north-east about half a million people are facing starvation<\/a> due to drought in Karamoja, where hundreds of people \u2013 mostly women and children \u2013 have already died.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Nakate recently travelled to neighbouring Kenya with Unicef, the UN aid and development agency for children, as its new goodwill ambassador, a role also held by household names like Serena Williams, Amitabh Bachchan, David Beckham and Katy Perry.<\/p>\n

The experience in Turkana, one of the areas in north-west Kenya most affected by a prolonged drought that has left more than 37 million people in the greater Horn of Africa on the brink of starvation, was life changing. \u201cIt hasn\u2019t rained for two years. To experience what that means in a community, to see how much people are suffering and how much help they need, I really got to see how the climate crisis is affecting so many lives and destroying so many livelihoods, and that it\u2019s mostly women and children who are suffering the most.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was Nakate\u2019s first time experiencing such extreme climate suffering first-hand. At one hospital treating children with severe malnutrition, she met an emaciated little boy who died the following day. According to the World Health Organisation<\/a>, an estimated 7 million children under the age of five are acutely malnourished in the region, which is experiencing the worst hunger crisis in over 70 years. \u201cI\u2019ve always said that climate change is more than statistics, it\u2019s more than weather, but in Turkana I really got to understand those words.\u201dOf course most people will never witness such catastrophe first-hand, which is why it\u2019s crucial that the voices and experiences of those most affected are amplified on the international stage \u2013 through the media and at decision making events like the UN climate talks.<\/p>\n

Last year in Glasgow at Cop26, very few African activists were able to attend due to challenges with accreditation, funding and Covid vaccinations, which at the time were available to less than 5% of people across the continent. Pledges on loss and damage for developing nations most harmed by global heating were once again shelved at the behest of rich polluting nations.<\/p>\n

Cop27 takes place in November this year in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, which will be Nakate\u2019s third climate talk, but getting access for most activists is proving to be just as difficult this year. \u201cMany people are calling it an African Cop but it won\u2019t be an African Cop if the communities, the activists are not there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Countries from across Africa \u2013 and the wider global south \u2013 will be looking to secure billions of dollars of climate financing for adaptation and the green energy transition, as well as separate funds for loss and damage and reparations.<\/p>\n

On the recent Kenya trip, Nakate met a young man who asked her why countries in the global north contribute the most emissions but places like Turkana suffer the most. \u201cHe thought they must have done something wrong \u2026 it was really hard to explain to him why those being impacted the most are the least responsible, and that\u2019s one of the horrible realities of the climate crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are people who are looking for answers to a question that needs to be answered through much needed reparations and responsibility from the global north.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 54 countries in Africa combined account for 15% of the world\u2019s population but contribute less than 4% of global greenhouse emissions<\/a> \u2013 in contrast to 23% by China, 19% by the US, and 13% from the European Union.<\/p>\n

Nakate, a born-again Christian, said: \u201cHaving 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.\u201dnakate was drawn to climate activism in 2018 after learning about the erratic rainfall and extreme heat affecting Ugandan farmers and food production \u2013 including members of her family. Agriculture is the backbone of the country\u2019s economy, accounting for a quarter of its GDP. About 70% of people rely on farming and raising livestock.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Advertisement<\/p>\n

<\/a>Inspired by Thunberg\u2019s school strikes in Sweden, Nakate launched her own climate movement and for several months in 2019 protested outside the gates of parliament against the government\u2019s inaction on the climate crisis. She then founded the Youth for Future Africa and the Africa-based Rise Up Movement, and is now one of the world\u2019s most celebrated youth activists.<\/a>But her celebrity means that some organisations and journalists regard her as the go-to African voice, which she finds problematic.<\/p>\n

\u201cAcross the continent many activists are doing incredible work, and there were many before us and the climate strikes in 2018. When the focus is just on one person it erases other experiences and stories. The solution is not to put faces on the climate movement, it has millions of people who are doing incredible work and organising in their communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Nairobi recently, Nakate met young people making briquettes \u2013 a cheap, alternative cooking fuel made from waste taken out of rivers \u2013 for a grassroots green energy company called Motobrix<\/a>, creating sustainable local jobs. \u201cIt\u2019s people and stories like this we really need to listen to,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Making sure activists and impact communities from across Africa can attend \u2013 and meaningfully participate \u2013 in Egypt is crucial for negotiations on loss and damage \u2013 and solutions. If these stories aren\u2019t heard, the solutions that are being financed risk being unacceptable or even harmful to affected communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cNGOs and governments need to listen and engage with communities about what they want, what works for them, and not dump solutions on them \u2026 We need to have communities at the negotiating tables in Egypt.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>\u2026 we have a small favour to ask. Millions are turning to the Guardian for open, independent, quality news every day, and readers in 180 countries around the world now support us financially.<\/p>\n

We believe everyone deserves access to information that\u2019s grounded in science and truth, and analysis rooted in authority and integrity. That\u2019s why we made a different choice: to keep our reporting open for all readers, regardless of where they live or what they can afford to pay. This means more people can be better informed, united, and inspired to take meaningful action.<\/p>\n

In these perilous times, a truth-seeking global news organisation like the Guardian is essential. We have no shareholders or billionaire owner, meaning our journalism is free from commercial and political influence \u2013 this makes us different. When it\u2019s never been more important, our independence allows us to fearlessly investigate, challenge and expose those in power. Support the Guardian from as little as $1 \u2013 it only takes a minute. If you can, please consider supporting us with a regular amount each month. Thank you.<\/p>\n
