COP26 will be the most important meeting for generations, it will either set us on the road to a sustainable, just future or destruction and misery under climate apartheid. Climate breakdown affects every person on the planet and every voice matters in the fight against the climate crisis. However, because of COVID-19, travel restrictions and financial constraints, many are unable to attend the conference in Glasgow. But their voices must still be heard.

We have spoken to climate activists, Indigenous peoples and people on the front line of the climate crisis all over the world, to hear their message and share it as widely as possible. These people are bearing the brunt of climate breakdown, and we need to listen to them.

Their overwhelming message is that we need drastic climate action, now.

Nana Kweigya is a Ghanaian canoe fisher. He says that climate change is impacting fisheries and that COP26 must address this. He attributes falling fish catches to the climate crisis and overfishing, calling from interventions to protect small-scale fisheries like his.
