When I look at the future, I see a future that is youth-led! Young people are not helpless, they are already at the forefront of #climateaction with their localized, innovative and sustainable #solutions . With the urgency of the climate crisis, we need action and tangible…

Funding for #adaptation is crucial for a fair transition, guaranteeing that communities most affected by #climate change can adapt and prosper. Wealthier nations bear a significant duty to provide substantial financial aid to support those hit hardest by #climate impacts.

The most recent data on #climateadaptation #finance in Africa shows that Africa is receiving insufficient flows, the governments are investing through debt and their fiscal resources, and #adaptation is losing ground to mitigation investments in the continent.

Yesterday, 3 giraffes were washed away in Mara River. The silent struggle of our #wildlife speaks volume. We need to raise our voices not just for ourselves but for the vulnerable beings who share our planet. #ProtectWildlife #floods #ClimateAction

It's high time we stop merely talking the talk and start walking the walk on climate action. We can't afford to just pay lip service to the need for collective action and multilateralism to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C. UN Development's climatepromise.undp.org 2025 initiative sounds…

Climate change is a human rights issue!

Climate colonialism infiltrates daily life across space and time, burdening and reducing resource access opportunities and possibilities through global racial capitalism, colonial dispossessions, and climate debts to the global South and beyond. #EndColonialism António Guterres

⚠️ People need the money that billionaires are hiding in tax havens. This year, we can change this!

The African group has proposed changing the global tax rules, and the majority of countries are in favour. It's unfair that only rich OECD countries get to decide.

The rise in rainfall intensity has predisposed particularly the East African region to flash floods which has exacerbated environmental degradation and disrupted essential services such as transportation and health care; leaving women and children in more jeopardy.

In today’s increasingly volatile climate risk landscape, shifting from a post-event recovery mindset towards a pre-event resilience strategy is essential for minimizing climate-fuelled economic impacts and consequences for human health and well-being.

No Congo, no smartphones.
You take a good selfie not only with a smartphone, but also with the blood of the thousands of Congolese who died unjustly because they inhabited territories beneath which there are minerals.
At least break the silence and speak out for Congo.

A UN-led panel will create guidelines aimed at ending human and environmental abuses in mining minerals critical to the energy transition.

But for meaningful impact they must put the communities affected by mining at the centre of decision-making.

Board member from Canada 🇨🇦, Laurence Ahoussou, calls on the World Bank and Board of the #LossAndDamage Fund to ensure direct access to the #LossAndDamage Fund for small groups and Indigenous Peoples on the front lines of the #ClimateCrisis . “We need to find a way to do that.”

It's important to help communities adapt while they still can.Its important to pay loss and damage finance now and not wait until the cost is even higher.Its important to continue mitigating the impacts of climate change.
We demand a just and fair distribution of climate finance

Despite rising sea levels, heatwaves, and floods, global efforts to adapt to climate change still fall short, leaving vulnerable communities exposed.

Can we adapt before climate change drowns us?

It's not lack of money, its money going to the wrong places.” Harjeet Singh of Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative on sources of finance for the #LossAndDamage Fund.
