In Addis Ababa for pre-ACS talks! Highlighted that the key to Africa’s climate resilient lies in innovative mechanisms for domestic resource mobilization. Time to rethink public finance to catalyze private investments in climate solutions. #ClimateFinance #ACS2025 #cleanenergy

What the 2025 Auditor General’s report mean for women & youths in the mining sector.

At CCESI, we don’t just read reports; we translate them into action for our communities.

We have analyzed the latest A.G report & here is the community lens view of the findings. #JustEnergy

[Women on Environment Mission @WemUganda]

Together with our partners, we engaged the Ministry of Lands to fast-track the operationalisation of the National Land Policy (2013). This presents a critical opportunity to address inadequate compensation, forced displacement, gender inequality in land ownership etc @awdf01

✂️🛑 Activists that protested against the destruction of #Lwera wetland in Masaka, have today been granted a cash bail of 1Million each to the 7 that were arrested on the 21/10/2025 peacefully protesting against the destructive activities in that area. #Protectwetlands.

COP30 Ends With No Commitment to Fossil Fuels Phase Out.

#COP30 has closed in Belém with no commitment to phase out fossil fuels in the final text, despite backing from around 80 countries. After days of deadlock, a small but powerful bloc, led by Saudi Arabia and Russia, succeeded in stripping any reference to ending the world’s main driver of climate change.

In response, COP30 President André Corrêa do Lago announced a voluntary “roadmap” to transition away from fossil fuels in a fair, orderly, and equitable way.

Civil society is clear: two voluntary roadmaps - one on fossil fuels, one on deforestation - cannot replace what the negotiations failed to deliver.

Whether governments act on that demand is now the true test of COP30’s legacy.

Uganda’s oil continue to cause untold suffering of communities. From the Tilenga, to Kingfisher and EACOP, communities continue to decry unfair compensation, destroyed livelihoods and others. Here’s a report on Kingfisher @bibothends @MEMD_Uganda @pwatchug @CCEInature @YGCUganda

1/ BREAKING: Case Dismissed!
The 9 #stopEACOP activists arrested on May 21st for peacefully marching to deliver a petition to #KCB have had their charges dropped due to insufficient evidence.
This comes after months of harassment, court delays & imprisonment.

On Sept 9, in #Kampala, @NRGInstitute organized a meeting to review a report that was commissioned on strategies for reducing #methane #emissions in #Uganda's oil and gas sector. This validation process comes as the country gears up for its first #oil production in 2026.

Rise up to #DrawTheLine against violence that has worsen climate crisis. Stand with indigenous and marginalized communities facing violence & displacement.

Defending human rights is not separate from climate action, it is at the heart of it.drawtheline.

Rise up to #DrawTheLine against the use of public funds to support fossil fuels and destructive industries.

Public money should build a safer, fairer, and green environment.

We have been made to think that #carbonmarkets, credits or offsets whatever they call them that are Africa's GHG mitigation yet they want to keep us in the fossil fuels trap! @stopEACOP @AfiegoUg @DontGasAfrica @IGENEastAfrica

"We, the community organisers are like the ancient priests who totally worked expecting no rewards or cash for the work they did, we only expect the community we serve to thank us for the work we are doing but instead some of them are becoming a threat to us." Says Kiiza Jonan

This is what CSOs mean when they call on the @govt to prioritize green economic alternatives as opposed to oil. Agriculture still remains the backbone of the country @stopEACOP @DontGasAfrica @GlobalJusticeC
