On the 21st of March, 350 Ghana Reducing Our Carbon took to the streets together with Ghana Youth Environmental Movement, Green Africa Youth Movement and other climate justice organisations like PACJA, Peasant Farmers Association of Ghana, Friends of the Earth Nigeria to demand real climate action. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n

The action was amongst a series of activities by the 350 GROC team in response to the proceedings of the Africa Climate Week hosted by the government of Ghana from 18 – 22 March. The summit\u2019s aim was to enhance engagement between State and non\u2010State actors in the key sectors of energy, agriculture and human settlements.<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n

The activists in Accra clearly expressed their opposition to f<\/span>ossil fuels and carbon markets, saying that such false solutions have no place in the new dawn of Ghana, and Africa if we have to combat climate change and achieve the goals of sustainable development. <\/span><\/p>\n

Before that action, a press conference was held where 350 GROC and its partners asked their government to <\/span>stop the lip-service and accelerate the energy transition towards 100% renewables.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although there were no solid commitments from the Africa Climate Week, 350 GROC committed to continuing to push the Ghanaian government to be ambitious and not delay the transition for a 100% renewable energy future.<\/span><\/p>\n
