African leaders and citizens are raising their voices louder than ever, demanding accountability and concrete measures to combat the climate crisis. African countries are grappling with <a class="internal-link" href="/en/chad-herders-face-drought-flood-devastation/a-70580321">severe droughts,</a> floods and escalating food insecurity, all exacerbated by climate change.</p> <p>Disgruntled citizens say that with every passing year, promises of climate-related financing and meaningful global cooperation remain just that — promises.</p> <p>Dan Kaburu, a Nairobi resident who spoke with DW, said his hope for a breakthrough at <a class="internal-link" href="/en/net-zero-by-2050-9-charts-showing-the-worlds-progress/a-59684637">COP29</a> is waning.</p> <p>"The current COP happening in Baku doesn't matter much, because when we look at the previous COPs, there are a lot of promises but nothing much to show for them" said Kaburu. "It doesn't make a lot of sense when the global leaders meet and always have these exchanges or move goalposts."</p> <p>In <a class="internal-link" href="/en/malawi/t-64899961">Malawi</a>, Angella Phiri expressed frustration over the lack of obvious outcome, saying simply: "We need tangible results."</p> <p>Meanwhile, Ghanaian student Safiyya Muhammad Ikileel questioned the feasibility of the summit's goals. "If these same people have big companies and support industrialization, if they want to make things OK, that means industrialization has to slow down or stop," she said.

Having observed years of climate negotiations, she reflected on the progress and challenges for Africa.</p> <p>Wandati highlighted the loss and damage fund set up in 2022 at COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt as a milestone. This fund aims to provide financial assistance to nations most vulnerable and affected by <a class="internal-link" href="/en/climate-change/t-18614374">climate change</a>.</p> <p>However, Wandati noted the fund still lacked substantial funding. "The African group is not very happy with how things are going at the COP29, because they say it's very likely that Africa might walk away with nothing," she said.</p> <figure class="placeholder-image master_landscape big"><img data-format="MASTER_LANDSCAPE" data-id="70214293" data-url="https://static.dw.com/image/70214293_${formatId}.jpg" data-aspect-ratio="16/9" alt="A desert in Namibia with dead trees." style="padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; max-height: 0;"><figcaption class="img-caption">Climate change is contributing to a global increase in temperatures and making water scarce, including in Namibia<small class="copyright">Image: Thomas Sbampato/imageBROKER/picture alliance</small></figcaption></figure> <h2>Baku's climate contradictions</h2> <p>Wandati further outlined the hypocrisy of global leaders, particularly highlighting Azerbaijan's <a class="internal-link" href="/en/cop29-renewables-boom-could-cut-co2-emissions-but-countries-cling-to-oil-and-gas/a-70824721">heavy reliance on fossil fuels</a> and its contradictory stance on climate action.</p> <p>"There are over 1,700 fossil fuel lobbies at this COP," she said. "The president of Azerbaijan said in his opening address that fossil fuels are a gift from God. This caused outrage, particularly amongst groups from the <a class="internal-link" href="/en/global-south/t-69372375">Global South</a>. They felt that if that's what the president himself feels, how can he be trusted to guide this convention away from fossil fuels, which is an outcome that the Global South wants."</p> <p>Sena Alouka, Togo's lead agriculture negotiator and chair of the climate and agroecology group at the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa, expressed hope for multilateral dialogue and human-centered solutions. However, he remained critical of the world's major CO2 emitters, noting that some of the world's wealthiest nations have repeatedly been accused of stalling meaningful progress during climate negotiations.</p> <div class="vjs-wrapper embed big"><h2 aria-label="Embedded video — Can Africa's Great Green Wall still stop desertification?" class="headline"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 20 20"><g fill-rule="evenodd"><path d="M14.114 7.599H13.5l.002 4.706h.601l4.582 3.25-.005-11.11zM11.084 4.444l-9.007.002-1.336.797.002 9.514 1.334.793 9.007.006 1.509-.799-.004-9.516z" /></g></svg>Can Africa's Great Green Wall still stop desertification?</h2><video id="video-69459434" controls playsInline="" preload="none" poster="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR42mNkYAAAAAYAAjCB0C8AAAAASUVORK5CYII=" data-id="69459434" data-posterurl="https://static.dw.com/image/61608402_605.webp" data-duration="03:11"><source src="https://hlsvod.dw.com/i/Events/mp4/vdt/2024/dwvgeng240620_flipside_africa-green-wall_fin_01imw_,AVC_480x270,AVC_512x288,AVC_640x360,AVC_960x540,AVC_1280x720,AVC_1920x1080,.mp4.csmil/master.m3u8" type="application/x-mpegURL"><source src="https://tvdownloaddw-a.akamaihd.net/Events/mp4/vdt/2024/dwvgeng240620_flipside_africa-green-wall_fin_01imw_AVC_1920x1080.mp4" type="video/mp4"><p class="vjs-no-js">To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that <a href="https://videojs.com/html5-video-support/" target="_blank">supports HTML5 video</a></p></video></div> <p>The same countries have been reluctant to make firm commitments on reducing emissions and providing climate financing.

Alouka stressed that the demand was rooted in justice.</p> <p>"We are not begging for charity or for solidarity.
