From margins to influence — Africa Climate Summits
Pastoralist and indigenous leaders shaping continental climate discourse—priorities on land rights, mobility, and finance reflected in outcomes.
Scope and activities
- Coordination and advocacy so leaders are present in high-level climate spaces
- Land rights, mobility, and equitable finance in official outcomes
- From exclusion toward influence
Context
For years, Indigenous Peoples were largely excluded from high-level climate decision-making spaces.
Through MPIDO’s coordination and advocacy, pastoralist and Indigenous peoples' leaders are now actively shaping continental climate discourse. Their priorities, land rights, mobility, and equitable finance, are increasingly reflected in official outcomes.
What was once exclusion is now influence.
