Alliance of Climate Frontline Communities (ACFC)

Alliance of Climate Frontline Communities (ACFC) working towards climate justice that recognize and compensate our knowledge, resilience and struggles, lead global climate change policy dialogues and fiscal negotiations. Increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from industrialized nations, has severe global consequences as the Earth heats. The global temperatures have risen by 1.2°C above pre-industrial levels and sea levels have risen 20 centimeters since the late 19th century, rising about 3.3 millimeters per year, the phenomenon world recognize as Climate Change. Structural and systemic forms of discrimination, oppressions and exclusions have created historically oppressed communities and pushed them into vulnerable geographic locations. The same very historical reasons are by default discriminated the frontline communities from the climate discourses. Historically oppressed communities experience the “first and worst” impacts of climate change. The climate change narratives define us as “victims” or “communities disproportionately impacted”, hence we are denied intergenerational equity. Climate debates failed to recognize our relentless struggle against oppressions that produced in-depth knowledge and devised numerous adaptation practices across the situations. We, Frontline Communities from historically oppressed backgrounds identify ourselves as knowledge producing communities and redefine ourselves as Climate Faculties.
