The climate crisis is no longer a future threat — it’s happening now. Across the globe, rising sea levels are swallowing homes, displacing families, and shattering livelihoods. For vulnerable communities in the Global South, climate change isn’t just an environmental issue — it’s a human tragedy. The people who contribute the least to the crisis are the ones suffering the most.
Communities along Kenya’s coastal regions, small island states, and low-lying areas across Africa are losing everything to the slow but relentless rise of water levels. Families are being forced to flee their ancestral homes that have stood for generations without any financial safety net or support system. Women and girls bear the greatest burden, facing heightened risks of violence, exploitation, and loss of education opportunities in the aftermath of displacement.
This isn’t just a natural disaster it’s a man-made injustice. The countries and corporations most responsible for global emissions continue to pollute, while frontline communities pay the price.
That’s why the Climate Dues campaign is calling on global polluters to #PayUp4LossAndDamage a rallying cry for climate justice. Under the Paris Agreement’s Article 8, the world has recognized the need to address loss and damage caused by climate change. But recognition is not enough it’s time for action.
Loss and Damage finance must go directly to the communities suffering the most — not as charity, but as reparations for the harm inflicted on people and the planet.
This campaign is about more than money it’s about dignity, justice, and the right to survive. Every displaced family, every woman forced into poverty, and every child stripped of their future demands accountability.
The world can’t afford to look away. The time to #PayUp4LossAndDamage is NOW.
