About African Futures Lab

African Futures Lab is a transcontinental non-profit tackling racial injustice across Africa and Europe.

We confront historical and contemporary racial domination by generating research, narratives, and alliances that expose systems of inequality and imagine alternatives.

Our mission is to reimagine racial justice beyond borders — turning evidence into action, and solidarity into systemic change.

African Futures Lab at COP 30

At COP30, we amplified African and diasporic perspectives in global climate negotiations.

Our work served to connect climate and racial justice, exposing how extractive economies and environmental harm stem from colonial legacies—and advancing reparative and equitable climate solutions.
