West Africa Hub
Our work spans across Africa, with our West Africa Hub playing a crucial role in keeping West African Climate Reality Leaders (CRLs) engaged and connected to our campaigns. We focus on enhancing and building meaningful partnerships with local climate action and climate justice organisations on the ground.
