The Season of Creation was also marked by the advocacy efforts of many communities in Africa, where the faithful struggle against the injustice caused by fossil fuels.
As part of the Global Day of Action for the Non-Proliferation of Fossil Fuels Treaty on September 21, numerous events were held, such as this one in Abuja, Nigeria. An “inspirational event”, in which young people, children and adults participated. Similar events took place in Kenya and Madagascar.
