Déclaration de Saint-Louis pour la justice climatique

The Saint-Louis Declaration for Climate Justice is a statement issued on November 2, 2024, by the African Activists for Climate Justice (AACJ) Senegal consortium and local partners. It demands that the Government of Senegal and international partners integrate climate justice into public policy, simplify access to climate funds for local communities, and fulfill financial promises from wealthy nations to support vulnerable populations, particularly in the Saint-Louis region.

• The AACJ Senegal consortium identifies Saint-Louis as one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change, noting a fundamental injustice where the local population suffers the most severe effects despite being the least responsible for global warming.
• There is an urgent need to protect the livelihoods of the Senegalese population, which relies heavily on livestock, fishing, and agriculture—sectors most impacted by unpredictable climate conditions. Failure to implement climate-resilient practices may lead to increased food insecurity, poverty, and conflicts over natural resources.
• The declaration calls for the operationalization of the loss and damage fund at COP29 in Baku and demands that Senegal and international partners create simplified, inclusive mechanisms to ensure local communities and civil society can access climate funds, including the Green Climate Fund.
• The consortium demands that wealthy nations honor their climate financing promises to enable effective climate action and the establishment of income-generating projects for communities.
• The document outlines specific requirements for strengthening adaptation and resource management, including the promotion of agroecology, renewable energy for rural areas, early warning systems, and the restoration of degraded ecosystems while respecting traditional knowledge.
