# Tell President Ruto & EU nations: Stop the hijack of the Africa Climate Summit

This week, world leaders are gathered at the Africa Climate Summit to outline their vision for a cleaner and safer future for Africa.

But a few rich countries and big corporations are trying to hijack the summit. They want to keep polluting at Africa’s expense and push fossil gas as a “transition” fuel.

Over 500 African groups are calling them out. They are calling on President Ruto of Kenya, who’s in charge of the summit, to advance Africa’s interests and priorities on climate – like renewable energy.

**Will you demand the global renewable energy revolution we need to keep global warming to 1.5C? Send a letter to President Ruto and EU nations now.**
