While many groups across the world hail the Paris Agreement as a victory for climate justice, the WoMin Alliance offers us a brilliant African eco-feminist critique of the pertinent issues. The alliance reminds us of the disproportionate impacts of climate change on the continent of Africa as a whole and to African women in particular. For them, the real test of any agreement from COP21 was whether it would be able to articulate a vision for climate justice that decisively put in place frameworks to move away from the dominant extractivist development models and offer concrete spaces for an articulation of alternatives, such as agroecology, energy and gender justice, to name just a few.
