Upwards of 650 people, at a conservative estimate, gathered to answer the call, speak out and begin to give shape to the Zambia they want. The Mulungushi International Convention Centre played host to voices of the poor but it is clear the echo reverberates across Zambia.

Despite the calls from millions and millions of voices all over the world demanding action and moral leadership. the 120 world leaders gathered for the last two days of the summit were unable to resolve issues blocking the road towards a just outcome.

We - the grassroots communities in the forests, the women, small farmers, pastoralists, nomads and fisher communities - are resource rich in our own right. We know how to use our resources wisely as we are the centers of ecological knowledge. Therefore there is nothing that you can give us to combat the climate crisis. On the other hand, if you want to reclaim life on this planet, it is you who have to demand this strength from us.
