Title A name given to the resource REIMAGINING CLIMATE JUSTICE AND ACTION FOR MARGINALISED VOICES IN ZIMBABWE: A KAIROS MOMENT Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource GIFT MASENGWE Description An account of the resource Climate change is a major crisis that affects everyone, especially in developing countries like Zimbabwe. It causes environmental problems and worsens economic inequalities, hitting marginalised communities the hardest. If Zimbabwe seriously wants to take action on climate change, it would allow ordinary people, those hardest hit by the phenomenon to contribute to discussions, rather than spend millions to represent the views of politicians and members of the elite. In this context, the 29th United Nations Conference of the Parties (COP29) serves as a salient case in point, wherein Zimbabwe’s ostentatious delegation, replete with government officials, symbolised a gross misalignment of resources and representation amid the nation’s pervasive socio-economic turmoil. A lavish expenditure exceeding $2m for this elite assembly, as reported by Tendai Ruben Mbofana, starkly juxtaposes the lived realities of everyday Zimbabweans grappling with climate-induced adversities, hence raises significant ethical questions. According to Mbofana, Zimbabwe’s representation at the summit of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), popularly COP29, by sending a ‘bloated’ and ‘over- flow’ of 238 elite delegates, exemplifies a ‘spectacle of excess rather than a meaningful opportunity to contribute’ (UNFCCC 2024:n.p.) to the global discourse on climate change.
