Year: 2025

Africa contributes the least to global emissions yet its children bear the heaviest burden of the climate crisis.

According to the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, millions of children across the continent face hunger, displacement, disease, and loss of education due to floods, droughts, and extreme heat.

Climate change is not gender- or age-neutral. It affects the youngest and most vulnerable most severely especially girls, children with disabilities, and those in rural or conflict-prone regions.

At PROSDOMA, we believe climate justice must include child justice. The voices of Africa’s children are too often unheard. It’s time to center their rights in every climate policy, plan, and budget.

✅ What Can Be Done?

1️⃣ Child-Centered Climate Policies

Governments must align climate strategies with the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child.

2️⃣ Education for Resilience

Equip schools with climate-resilient infrastructure and introduce climate education early in curricula.

3️⃣ Youth Engagement

Involve children and youth in climate dialogues and decision-making at all levels.

4️⃣ Protect the Most Vulnerable

Strengthen health systems, social protection, and food security for at-risk children.

Climate justice begins with child justice. Let’s fight for a future they can survive and thrive in.

Water is a Human Right But Not Yet a Reality in Africa

Over 300 million people in Africa still lack access to clean drinking water. As we approach 2025, the continent’s “African Water Vision” is more urgent than ever: equitable and sustainable water for all.

1 in 3 Africans lives without reliable access to safe water.

Poor governance and underinvestment deepen inequality.

‍ Women and children walk for hours every day to fetch water.

Water is not just a need, it’s a right. Yet millions are left behind. This is a gendered issue, a climate challenge, and a development emergency.

At PROSDOMA, we echo the African Water Vision’s call to action.

✅ What Can Be Done?

1️⃣ Put Communities First

Empower local voices in decision-making. Water solutions must be owned by those they serve.

2️⃣ Invest in Climate-Resilient Infrastructure

Adapt water systems to changing weather, droughts, and floods especially in rural and marginalized regions.

3️⃣ Promote Gender Leadership

Train and uplift women as decision-makers in water governance and local resource planning.

4️⃣ Foster Regional Cooperation

Africa’s rivers cross borders. Strong cross-country coordination is vital for water justice.

Let’s turn the Vision into Action. The time is now.

2025 Climate & Sustainability Trends: A Tipping Point for Global Action

The year 2025 is shaping up to be a turning point in sustainability. According to the 2025 Sustainability and Climate Trends report, we are witnessing a simultaneous rise in climate awareness, regulatory pressure, and market demand for sustainable practices  but also increasing climate risks and social inequality.

From climate-induced migration to food system disruption, the Global South faces intensified vulnerabilities. Meanwhile, businesses and governments are under mounting pressure to transition toward green economies, ethical supply chains, and inclusive innovation.

The report emphasizes that climate resilience is no longer optional. It’s a necessity — and must include marginalized communities in the solutions.

At PROSDOMA, we believe 2025 must be the year when climate ambition meets social justice. Sustainability isn’t only about emissions, it’s about equity, access, and survival.

✅ What Can Be Done?

1️⃣ Enforce Climate Accountability

Support policies that hold corporations and governments responsible for environmental and social impacts.

2️⃣ Invest in Climate-Resilient Infrastructure

Fund local, renewable, and adaptive systems in vulnerable regions.

3️⃣ Empower Civil Society

Promote grassroots advocacy and community-based climate solutions.

4️⃣ Prioritize Just Transition

Ensure green transitions include the voices and livelihoods of workers, farmers, and the underserved.

Join us in shaping a future that’s not only sustainable — but just.

Future-Proof Farming: Sustainable Agriculture in 2025

As the climate crisis deepens and global populations rise, 2025 marks a critical moment for transforming agriculture. The latest Sustainable Agriculture 2025 report emphasizes that conventional farming is no longer viable in the face of land degradation, water scarcity, and rising emissions.

But there is hope. The report showcases how sustainable practices such as regenerative farming, agroecology, and circular nutrient use  are gaining ground globally, especially in regions vulnerable to climate stress.

Key to this transformation is local adaptation, technology transfer, and inclusive governance. Yet millions of smallholder farmers remain excluded from the shift, lacking access to finance, tools, and training.

At PROSDOMA, we believe food justice and climate justice go hand-in-hand. A sustainable future starts in the soil — but it grows with equity and inclusion.

✅ What Can Be Done?

1️⃣ Empower Smallholder Farmers

Provide access to training, markets, and finance tailored to local conditions.

2️⃣ Promote Nature-Based Solutions

Scale up agroforestry, composting, and low-input farming to restore ecosystems.

3️⃣ Support Inclusive Policy-Making

Ensure farmer voices especially women and youth — are at the table in climate and agri-policy discussions.

4️⃣ Fund Innovation with Equity

Invest in digital agriculture and climate-smart tools that are accessible to underserved communities.

Join us in growing a resilient, just, and sustainable future.

Clean Water and Sanitation: A Global Injustice We Must End

2.2 billion people worldwide lack access to safely managed drinking water, and 4.2 billion are without safe sanitation. This isn’t just a development issue, it’s a human rights crisis.

The UN’s “Still One Earth” report highlights that despite global progress, water and sanitation inequalities persist, especially in low-income regions and conflict-affected areas.

Lack of clean water and sanitation increases disease, threatens education (especially for girls), and perpetuates poverty. Climate change only worsens this reality, leading to more floods, droughts, and displaced communities.

At PROSDOMA, we believe water is a right  not a privilege. It’s time for action.

✅ What Can Be Done?

1️⃣ Scale Up Public Investment

Governments and donors must prioritize water and sanitation in national budgets and recovery plans.

2️⃣ Support Community-Based Solutions

Train local workers, empower grassroots organizations, and ensure services are affordable and culturally appropriate.

3️⃣ Innovate for Equity

Adopt inclusive technologies; solar pumps, smart sanitation, and low-cost filtration  to reach marginalized communities.

4️⃣ Ensure Climate Resilience

Integrate water and sanitation into climate adaptation strategies. Future-proof infrastructure for rising risks.

Every drop counts  but only if it’s safe and accessible to all.
