THE CASABLANCA DECLARATION Adopted in Casablanca, at the end an african and international gathering on COP22, 23rd and 24th of September 2016… Africans are not responsible for climate change, so our commitment is in the name of justice: of climate, but also of social justice.

 

 

Record-breaking temperatures month after month, a succession of cyclones, hurricanes, floods, forest fires and debilitating droughts remind us that climate change is a reality which already affects hundreds of millions of us.

 

 

Thus we, the social movements and civil society organisations in all our diversity, have gathered here in Casablanca to launch our mobilisation towards the COP22, which will take place in Marrakech between the 7th and 18th of November, and to reaffirm our determination to act to keep global warming under the 1.5 degree celcius limit – as agreed in Paris by the world’s heads of state and government.

 

 

At the end of COP21 we committed to mobilise, wherever needed, in order to prevent the ‘red lines for a just and liveable future’ from ever being crossed. We have honoured that commitment, and will continue to do so.
