This is truly the most beautiful video I’ve seen lately

So tender and heart-warming, yet it makes you stop and reflect, with a subtle touch of sadness

We may have gained so much, but perhaps we’ve lost even more✨

[Elizabeth Wangeci Chege @ElizabethWChege]

The breadth of ineptitude in creating a resilient environment is insurmountable! The lack of proactive & preventative action is not due to lack of experts, finance or basic knowledge! Climate change waits for no man/woman. Tuko hapa! Deepest condolences to the families.💔

[Elizabeth Wathuti , O.G.W 🇰🇪 @lizwathuti]

Nairobi city has become a total mess! People running for their lives as floodwaters swept through the streets. Cars floating. People climbing onto rooftops and on cars. Families trying to save what they can.

And the thing that keeps coming to my mind is this: this rain was not a surprise. Meteorologists warned about very heavy rains days ago. Yet within hours our city is overwhelmed; roads become rivers, homes flood, businesses are destroyed, and people lose lives, livelihoods and everything. .. a pattern that we see reoccurring each time we have heavy rains.

Yes, climate change is making our weather more extreme. That is real. But when rain turns into disaster this quickly, it also tells a story about our city.

A story about drainage systems that don’t work.
About wetlands that have disappeared.
About buildings rising everywhere without proper planning, including on riparian land.
A story of non-existent storm water drainage system.

This cannot be normal and I don’t think people are angry enough!

We have a long way to go on disaster preparedness, emergency response, and leadership that takes these realities seriously.

Because what we are witnessing today is the cost of ignoring the climate reality we are living in.

And now there is another silent crisis growing beneath our feet; the explosion of undocumented boreholes across Nairobi.

More than half of the boreholes in this city are believed to be unregulated. No clear monitoring. No clear understanding of what it is doing to our groundwater systems.

We are draining the aquifers below us while paving over the natural systems that protected us above.

Floods on the surface.
Water insecurity underground.

🚨 Schools are the 2nd largest consumers of biomass energy. The Platform for #CleanCooking in Schools we launched at #COP30 with partners is here to change that.

💡 #CleanEnergy = healthier kids, greener planet, stronger communities.

We cannot air condition our way out of the heat crisis.

Many cooling methods add planet warming emissions, in-turn increasing cooling demand.

But solutions exist to make cooling more sustainable & affordable: https://t.co/m8d7s2aC0S

#COP30

[Sustainable Energy for All @SEforALLorg]

As part of the @Mission_EE Roundtable and South-South Exchange on Energy Efficiency, delegates from Kenya and Ghana met with @beeindiadigital and @MinOfPower to exchange insights and strengthen cooperation toward sustainable energy transitions.

[Sustainable Energy for All @SEforALLorg]

Together with @EESL_India, @MoEn_Ghana & @EnergyMinK we’re advancing appliance efficiency and climate-smart solutions.

Their leadership is showing how scalable models can drive impact across regions and inspire stronger South-South cooperation.

@KenyaAirways is KQ100 still rescheduled for 1pm?

[Ali Mohamed @ClimateEnvoyKe]

Kenya's Supreme Court has awarded Sh1.3 billion ($8.5 million USD) to victims of lead pollution from an industrial facility in Mombasa. Kenya's judiciary like in other jurisdictions, is enforcing constitutional rights to a clean and healthy environment. The ruling, which addresses harm to 3,000 victims including 20 deaths, sets an important precedent for industrial pollution cases across East Africa:

Insightful discussions at the @SEforALLorg Governance Board meeting, where the SDG7 Backsliding study raised the alarm on global energy goals. Many countries are at risk of being left behind, highlighting the urgent need for action.
