African faith leaders united for climate action and climate justice, spoken with one voice the Addis Ababa Faith Declaration on Climate Justice has officially declared. Their call is clear: climate action must be anchored in justice, equity, peace, and care for creation.

1. Peace for Climate Justice: Integrating peacebuilding, equity, and inclusive governance into adaptation efforts.
2. Debt Cancellation as a Path to Climate Justice: Freeing resources for climate action by cancelling unjust debt that drains African economies.
3. Climate Finance: Delivering overdue, grant-based finance for adaptation, loss and damage, and community-led solutions.
4. Emission Reduction & Just Energy Transition: Major emitters must commit to ambitious reductions while Africa advances a just, inclusive energy transition that protects workers, creates green jobs, and expands access to clean energy.
5. Food Sovereignty & Creation Care: Protecting and scaling up indigenous and faith-rooted practices that sustain Africa’s food systems, biodiversity, and resilience.
6. Tackling the Adaptation Gap: Closing Africa’s adaptation finance gap with grant-based financing, robust indicators, and climate risk integration in planning.
7. Advancing Loss & Damage Efforts: Building Africa’s institutional capacity, unlocking recovery finance, and ensuring fair access to the Loss and Damage Fund.
8. Youth, Women, People with Disabilities & Interfaith Solidarity: Placing marginalized groups at the center of climate action through inclusive policies, finance, and leadership opportunities.
