The donor coordination efforts are serious in #Uganda. Today a big group came together (hybrid) to discuss forestry, conservation and biodiversity efforts. Private sector efforts are presented and appreciated by all. Together and coordinated the impacts will be better.

@JibS_Owomugisha @RegreenAfrica @__mierah @leanshan1 @HowardMwesigwa @DjembaMicheal @ManuelGuarigua1 @MoFroehler @Fahad38158546 @ClaireLokeris Very good effort! Coordinated and properly planned interventions highly needed.

Sad news, more alarming confirmation of the deep sustainability crisis humankind is facing, on top of IPCC reports, UNFCCC Global Stocktake etc. What more evidence do we need to step up #ClimateActionNow & leverage green investments to scale up implementation of green solutions!

[Dr. Gemedo Dalle Tussie @GTussie]

Congratulations to Ethiopia and You Excellency Dr Fitsum. This is challenging and demanding responsibility. You need to strengthen institutional capacity.

[Fitsum Assefa Adela @FitsumAdela]

@DagmarZwebe @YaleTropicCert Wakeup call!!! Good to disaggregate (per countries) and also share methodology used for that calculation.

[Dagmar @DagmarZwebe]

Let's sit on this knowledge for a moment. CO2 emissions from tree cover loss in tropical countries is causing more emissions annually than 85 MILLION cars would emit in their entire lifetime! @YaleTropicCert #BackToSchool

De-growth is not an acceptable option for developing country members of @gggi_hq: #GreenGrowth, environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive, is not a fairy tale, but real! Read: Meet the lefty Europeans who want to deliberately shrink the economy https://t.co/5iMSQhtC6S

Congratulations! Following change in NDA, relevance of LT-LEDS was challenged at the final phase. It was not an easy task for me to convince the State Minister. Proud to be part of this historic achievement. I sincerely thank HE Dr Nemera for his understanding & flexibility.

[Bezos Earth Fund @BezosEarthFund]

Conservation is a win-win for people + the planet. So why isn't it happening at scale? @DrAndrewSteer testified this week before the U.S. Senate on the importance of international conservation and what it takes to be effective and long-lasting ➡️ https://t.co/Ybg7HpfbDM.

[Bezos Earth Fund @BezosEarthFund]

Our food systems currently contribute greatly to climate change. But can we make the food system work for us as a solution instead? Bezos Earth Fund Director of Food @ajarviscali explains our vision for a global transformation of food for people and the planet.

[GIZ Uganda @giz_uganda]
