Today, we reaffirm our commitment to grow 10 million trees by 2030. One tree at a time, let’s preserve our environment for the future communities. Join us in making the future greener. #NCBAChangeTheStory #NCBAWED2026 #NowForClimate

[Collins Otieno @Coltieno]

Beyond natural resources, Africa's youth are its greatest asset for #ClimateAction and #GreenTransition. Yet youth-led organizations receive less than 1% of climate finance. Financing #ClimateAction without financing youth misses a powerful driver to #Resilience

LOOK: The GCF observer network of civil society, Indigenous Peoples, and local communities hold preparatory meetings for the 44th Board Meeting of @theGCF (B.44) in Songdo, South Korea.

“Working with communities has shown that unless finance is inclusive, solutions are locally led, and processes are transparent and responsive to local needs, very limited outcomes can be expected.”https://t.co/ZJRfEdW1dR

[Hivos Global @hivos]

For #COP30 to succeed, #SB62 must include community-lived experiences in the Just Transition Work Programme, the Gender Action Plan and the GGA indicators. No success expected w/o inclusive finance, locally led solutions & transparent processes. More 👇🏽

📢 Mark your calendars!

Tomorrow - 12 May - we will launch our flagship #StateOfClimate in
Africa 2024 report!

[Collins Otieno @Coltieno]

In for an analysis of what #TradeTariffs may mean to climate action in the global south? Could we see a heightened fossil fuels exploration to meet energy demands? Could we see an increase in regional power pools to reduce production costs? Any thought?

[ForumCiv ESA @ForumCivESA]

Excited to host a consultative meeting together with Friedrick Ebert Stiftung and Natural Justice to reflect on #COP29 outcomes and gear up for Pre-Sixty Second session of the Subsidiary Bodies #SB62. The goal is to assess progress, identify gaps, and shape Africa’s agenda. 🌍🌱

#Climatechange-induced #droughts☀️in Zambia have led to health and social crises one might not immediately think of: diseases, school dropouts, child marriages, and the exploitation of vulnerable youth. What to do? 👇🏽

Shaping Conditions for Fair, Equitable and Enduring Climate Finance  https://t.co/hEbDT9Duwj

[Hivos Global @hivos]

We argue that debt relief, increased grant-based financing for #climateaction, private sector investment, robust governance and transparent mechanisms are needed to ensure #COP29’s finance outcomes do not leave the Global South behind. 👇🏽

[Centre For Climate Action @CCAResilience]

[Green Climate Fund @theGCF]

We're tweaking our processes to make it faster and easier for developing countries to get the funding they need for their #climateaction priorities. A key way of doing this is streamlining our concept note documentation. This is just one of the seeds of change we’ve sown in 2024.
