Afro-Descendant Peoples Seek Climate Justice on the Global Stage

CITAFRO, the regional alliance of Afro-descendant and Quilombola organizations, is advocating for Latin American and Caribbean countries to include territorial protection for Afro-descendant communities in their official climate action plans, known as Nationally Determined Contributions. This would create greater discussion about specific measures these communities need to adapt to the changing climate and thus more fully center them in the conversation.
