Voix du Paysan: Training and informing citizens as a commitment to social and climate justice.
Across the African continent, faith communities are rising to make their beliefs a force for social and environmental transformation. During the #AfricaWeekOfAction, believers, spiritual leaders, and young activists are proclaiming loud and clear that prayer alone is no longer enough. In the face of the climate crisis driven by fossil fuel exploitation, faith must now translate into bold, concrete actions for justice.
This mobilization is rooted in a deep conviction: oil, gas, and coal projects are not only ecological threats—they are an assault on human dignity and on creation itself. In churches, mosques, and temples, voices are rising to denounce the injustices faced by displaced communities, poisoned lands, and destroyed ecosystems. Faith becomes an act of resistance—a cry of love for the Earth and all its inhabitants.
By calling for a just energy transition, faith communities are offering an alternative path—one built on solidarity, the protection of the most vulnerable, and respect for all life. They remind us that fighting for the climate is a way of honoring what is sacred. Their message is clear: God does not dwell in pipelines, but in justice, peace, and life.
