Climate activists in Africa are pushing the African Union to convene a summit to reassess the utility of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) process to Africa.

Activists lament the lack of action to address the climate crisis and avert the worst impacts of climate despite two decades of international climate change negotiations and dialogues.
