African Women’s Climate Justice Day

On Wednesday, April 15, 2026, hundreds of women environmental defenders, community organisations, and their allies will mobilise across the continent and beyond to mark the inaugural African Women’s Climate Justice Day, under the theme "Our Lands, Our Voices: African Women United for Reparations and Climate Justice!”

This landmark Day of Action emerges at a critical moment. As the world faces escalating climate catastrophes, wars and resource-driven conflicts, deepening inequality, and widespread ecological destruction, African women – who are among the most impacted – are also leading some of the most radical solutions. Their voices, leadership, and resistance are more vital than ever in the global fight for climate justice and reparations.

“This day is very important because it builds on our efforts to promote climate justice for rural women. It is an opportunity for us to make our voices heard and to highlight that climate justice is a pressing issue and that climate injustice continues to claim victims, particularly African women. It is also a chance to ensure that reparations are made for the damage caused.” — Odette Toe, Burkina Faso
