What is Climate Change Africa (CCA) ? 

Its organisation that aims to educate Africans what is Climate Change its causes, impacts and what can be done to save the planet

Tagline

Action Now, Save the Future

The objectives of the campaign are to:

•    Build awareness of the causes and effects of climate change
•    Mobilise  African businesses, households and stakeholders to take action on climate change.
•    The campaign aims to unite governments, businesses, labour, and civil societies to save the future by taking action on climate change now.

Even Though we don’t all contribute equally to the problem, nor will we all be affected in the same way, everyone has a role to play in building a more climate resilient society.

Mission Statement

Campaign Aims and Objectives

The Climate Chnage Africa (CAA) exists to push for the urgent and radical action we need to prevent the catastrophic destabilisation of global climate.

The destabilisation of global climate has become the very greatest threat to our planet and everyone on it – with the possible exception only of all-out war with modern weapons of mass-destruction. We do not know how much irreversible damage we have done already but we know that if we do not act now the effects will be many times more devastating still.

1. The CCA exists to secure the action we need – at a local, national and, above all, international level – to minimise harmful climate change and the devastating impacts it will have. To that end the CCA seeks to raise awareness about the gravity and urgency of the threat from climate change and to influence those with the greatest power to take effective action to do so with the utmost speed and resolution. Where ignorance, short term greed and vested interests stand in the way of the action that is urgently needed, the CCA  exists to fight against all of these things.
2. In particular the CCA brings people together for street demonstrations, designed to get together the greatest number of people possible, and to create a mass movement to push for our goals.
3. The CCA seeks a global solution to a global problem and aims to push for an international emissions reductions treaty that is both effective in preventing the catastrophic destabilisation of global climate and equitable in the means of so doing. To be effective such a treaty needs to secure such reductions in the global total of greenhouse gas emissions as are deemed by the broad consensus of qualified scientific opinion to be necessary to prevent harmful climate change. The CCA aims to campaign against those with the greatest responsibility for preventing or delaying the progress we urgently need towards an international climate treaty.
4. The CCA  recognises that the issue of the destabilisation of global climate has enormous implications in terms of social justice and global inequality. The damage to the earth’s atmosphere has so far been done mainly by the rich nations but it is the poorest who will suffer the greatest and most immediately. The CCA recognises that any solution to the problem must be as fair as possible, incorporating principles of social justice and not exacerbating global inequalities.
5. The CCA aims to bring together as many people as possible who support our broad aims of pushing for urgent action on climate and reducing global emissions. The CCA does not therefore campaign on the important but more detailed questions of how best to achieve these emission reductions and recognises that supporters will have different and deeply held views on these issues.
