"When we say climate justice, we are basically asking the world to apply common sense. If you caused most of the mess, you should carry a good part of the mop. That's what we are saying. Africa's reality is that we contributed almost nothing to warming the planet. Yet we are absorbing the shock. And here is the thing: Africans are not sitting around waiting for sympathy. That's for sure. What the continent wants is fairness. Fairness in how responsibility and resources are shared [...]. Why does climate justice matter? Because without justice, the whole system becomes lopsided. Imagine trying to respond to back-to-back disasters [...]. The Global South is living the climate crisis in real time. It's not in projections, it's not in models, but in empty water dams, failed harvests, displaced families, and what we now call climate mobility," Dr. Monyani said.
