💡 Access to clean cooking energy isn’t just about having a modern stove.

Our new study shows that moving up the multi-tier framework improves health & frees up time—especially for women in Zambia.

Energy access = welfare & equality. 🌍✨

@GutuObert Interesting. We should compare notes! I am told that, in Musana, Chikare (the first Gumbo chief) gave birth to Nyamukasa, Chinemukutu (Gutu), Chaurura, Mabwazha, Nendanga, Gahare, and Chikuve. Chinemukutu (Gutu), Chaurura, Mabwazha, and Nendanga left Musana for the Masvingo area.

[IUCN SSC Human-Wildlife Conflict & Coexistence SG @hwctf]

Political ecology studies of HWC can offer insight into the underlying drivers of why and how humans and wildlife come into conflict, and what conflict signifies to different affected actors. Chapter 22 covers what political ecology is & what it can offer. https://t.co/sdduXEjrhk

A successful climate summit for Africa should result in concrete commitments, partnerships, and action plans to address climate challenges and provide climate adaptation solutions tailored to the continent's specific circumstances and vulnerabilities. @williamsRuto 11/11

[Edwin Muchapondwa @EdMuchapondwa]

#ACS23 should address the unique challenges Africa faces due to climate change and create concrete mechanisms for providing practical solutions for climate adaptation. Africa should not be a spectator but one of the leaders in its own backyard and on the global stage. 1/11

[Edwin Muchapondwa @EdMuchapondwa]

9. African leaders should commit to insisting on accountability for climate action from all global players and demanding reparations where necessary. @UNmigration, @giz_gmbh, @EU_Commission 10/11
