"I think this event will be one of the biggest wins for the Global South. When we are here, listening to the COP president or Brazil's president, you can feel that something truly promising is happening."
"We have had many promises before, and at the end of the day, the crisis continues getting worse"
"Whether we talk about climate finance or carbon trading, it is important to include transparency [and] accountability in all those discussions,"
Anita Soina is a 26-year-old Kenyan climate activist of Maasai heritage with over 100,000 Instagram followers who founded a group organizing tree planting and cleanup campaigns. She traveled to Belém, Brazil, for COP30 and linked deforestation to drought, hunger, and water scarcity in Kenya. She expressed cautious optimism that COP30 could be a major win for the Global South while warning that broken promises have allowed the crisis to worsen. She identified lack of political will and misused resources as major barriers. Maurice K. Nyambe of Transparency International called for transparency and accountability in climate finance and carbon trading at COP30.
