1	Eric Njuguna - climate change activist	We need to go beyond talk and realise what climate justice means for African communities The African COP" - must be "more than just a location change" in order to deliver climate justice for Africa. We need the stories of people in the Global South who are disproportionately affected by the climate crisis, those on the frontlines, because their stories represent the reality of what the climate crisis really is.	https://www.reuters.com/business/cop/young-african-climate-activists-demand-real-change-cop27-2022-11-11/; https://www.context.news/climate-justice/young-african-climate-activists-demand-real-change-at-cop27
