Trying not to feel too broken at the end of this COP28 UAE with some very disappointing outcomes in mitigation. So much respect for the Pacific and AOSIS leadership who fought every single moment of every single day 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🙏🙏👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Tears flowed and a lengthy rousing ovation during final plenary just now for AOSIS Chair #AnneRasmussen , as she delivered an emotional response filled with unsparing observations about the final outcomes from #COP28UAE

AOSIS Fellows met with the #COP28 Lead Negotiator Hana Alhashimi to talk about increasing youth engagement in the COP. Best line of the meeting: 'No decisions about us, without us'

In alignment with the first Global Stocktake at #COP28 , the Youth Climate Champion team, led by @Shamma Al Mazrui, organized the inaugural 'Youth Stocktake Event' to assess opportunities and challenges for youth inclusion in UNFCCC climate negotiations at #SB58 .

Made my first intervention on behalf of @IYCM and supporting my Nepalese brother in his intervention to the COP28 Presidency.

Happy to announce that I have been selected as one of the international youth climate delegates to attend the SB58 in Bonn, Germany and UAE COP28. Looking forward to training and being a climate negotiator on behalf of Pacific and Samoan Youth.

Got my setup for reading, writing and coding 👌

Day 16 of my PhD: vigorously screening, reading and critically filtering articles that relate to my bubble of research.

Survived my first day as a PhD candidate. Success! 🙌3 more years to go 😆

Doing a lecture tomorrow on energy & carbon audits. If anyone is interested lmk.

About 1 week until I officially start my PhD. Unofficially started about 1 month ago. Plenty of research gaps to consider in Samoa especially if engineering, RE and decentralised energy systems are involved. What to do hhmmm 🤔
