Africa is ready to lead.
Greenpeace Africa is at COP31, the UN Climate Change Conference in Antalya, Türkiye. It’s the “implementation COP”, and we’re here to make sure the promises are funded through grants, built around local needs, and delivered to frontline communities.
Your donation helps break that cycle – supporting diverse indigenous seeds that farmers can grow, save, multiply, and share, building lasting seed independence.
