The "Keep Your Promise Campaign" marks a historic initiative aimed at holding nations accountable for their commitments under the Paris Agreement, a landmark global effort to combat climate change. For the very first time, participating parties are set to take stock of their progress in meeting the goals outlined in the Paris Agreement. At its core, the campaign is driven by a desire to align global efforts towards meaningful climate action, with a particular focus on addressing and bridging the gaps in progress.
This dynamic and impactful campaign is a collaborative effort involving multiple countries, led by a passionate and dedicated group of young leaders from the African continent. Their vision is clear: to harness the power of collective action and advocacy on five pivotal issues, thereby shaping a strategic thrust to amplify their influence and advance the campaign's overarching goals.
One of the campaign's central objectives is to call upon the global north to honor its commitments made under the Paris Agreement. It underscores the vital importance of fulfilling these promises to ensure a sustainable and equitable future for all. Moreover, the campaign places a strong emphasis on African nations demonstrating leadership in accountability. This is to be achieved through the implementation of locally driven climate actions, which are transparent, accountable, and above reproach. The leadership of those most directly affected by the climate crisis, particularly those on the front lines, is central to this approach.
The "Keep Your Promise Campaign" is set to take action on five key critical issues:
Global Stock Take,
Just Transition
Corporate Climate Atrocities:
Climate Financing Gap
the "Keep Your Promise Campaign" is a visionary and inclusive effort, led by passionate young leaders from Africa, to drive action on climate change. It challenges nations, corporations, and individuals to fulfill their commitments, ensure accountability, and strive for a more sustainable and just future for all.
