00:00At the COP31 in Antalya, climate activists are pressing war leaders to put climate justice in financing for Africa at
00:09the center of the talks.
00:10Demonstrators gathered at the summit venue as negotiations got underway in Turkey.
00:16Climate Action Network International Africa is calling for finance based on the continent's needs.
00:21We were doing this action for adaptation finance. Why? Because we felt that adaptation was underfunded in the UNFTC negotiation
00:30and we are demanding for a need-based finance.
00:33Turkey is hosting the COP31 with Australia leading the negotiations. Both countries have faced criticism over their reliance on coal.
00:41We have not been seeing the commitment from the world leaders to be able to commit to that need, to
00:46be able to ensure that Africans are giving and the global south is giving the need that they need on
00:52other countries.
00:53So our demand is to ensure that there is a need-based finance where communities are, issues are addressed, where
01:00people who have the impact of flood, people who have the impact of droughts and also heat waves.
01:06The summit comes amid rising temperatures, deadly heat waves and climate-related disasters, disruption to energy markets linked to the
01:14war in Iran has also pushed governments to rethink energy policy and invest more in renewables.
