Quotes

• “I’ve always said that climate change is more than statistics, it’s more than weather, but in Turkana I really got to understand those words.”
• “Many people are calling it an African COP but it won’t be an African COP if the communities, the activists are not there.”
• “Having dominion over the Earth is about responsibility and service to the planet and its people, because God is not a God of waste and exploitation.”
• “It’s people and stories like this we really need to listen to.”
• “Across the continent many activists are doing incredible work, and there were many before us and the climate strikes in 2018. When the focus is just on one person it erases other experiences and stories. The solution is not to put faces on the climate movement, it has millions of people who are doing incredible work and organizing in their communities.”
• “It hasn’t rained for two years. To experience what that means in a community, to see how much people are suffering and how much help they need, I really got to see how the climate crisis is affecting so many lives and destroying so many livelihoods, and that it’s mostly women and children who are suffering the most.”
