Déclaration de Saint-Louis pour la justice climatique

The Saint-Louis Declaration, issued by the African Activists for Climate Justice (AACJ) Senegal consortium, calls for the integration of climate justice into Senegal's environmental policies. It highlights the extreme vulnerability of the Saint-Louis region and demands simplified access to green funds, the operationalization of the loss and damage fund at COP29, and increased support for climate-resilient agriculture and renewable energy in rural areas.

• The Saint-Louis region is identified as one of the most vulnerable areas to climate change, characterized by a climate injustice where the local population suffers the most severe effects despite being the least responsible for global warming.
• There is an urgent need for the Government of Senegal and international partners to simplify and make more inclusive the mechanisms for accessing climate funds, specifically the Green Climate Fund, to ensure resources reach local communities and civil society organizations.
• The declaration calls for the immediate operationalization of the loss and damage fund during COP29 in Baku and urges wealthy nations to fulfill their climate financing promises to support income-generating projects.
• To mitigate threats to livelihoods in agriculture, fishing, and livestock, the document advocates for national policies focusing on agroecology, rural renewable energy, improved early warning systems, and the restoration of degraded ecosystems.
