Africa insists that just and equitable transition MUST encompass pathways that include energy, socioeconomic, workforce and other dimensions, all of which must be based on nationally defined development priorities and include social protection so as to mitigate potential impacts associated with the transition.
In the context of African countries nationally defined development priorities, #ADAPTATION support remains a must for the transition to be just.
Speaking at the second dialogue under the UAE Just Transition Work Programme in Sham El Sheikh, Egypt, Fatuma Hussein, AGN SBI Coordinator said climate finance and international cooperation are key elements in all sectors of society adding that the just transition work programme must ensure that the international process under UNFCCC provides guidance to ensure justness of the transition beyond the workforce.
The second dialogue under the UAE Just Transition Work Programme is focusing on: “Ensuring support for people-centric and equitable just transition pathways with a focus on the whole-of-society approach and the workforce”.
The specific areas of focus are:
· Approaches for empowering all actors and segments of the society for a fair and inclusive workforce transition to meet Paris Agreement goals;
· Unpacking the full range of means of implementation (Finance, Technology and Capacity Building) for a just transition of the work force: exploring current approaches, opportunities and gaps; and
· International cooperation and partnerships for people-centric and equitable just transitions.

I join my brothers and sisters to strongly protest the use of the Hijab (Niqab) in an upcoming Nigerian movie produced by one Ms. Bolanle Ayo. The Hijab is an outfit deeply attributed to Muslim women that symbolizes respect, modesty, and religious devotion. And, I believe it should not be used as a mere costume in a movie, especially when the scenes it portrays are clearly associated with negative moral vices.
Using the Hijab in such scenes is a profound disrespect to our mothers, sisters, and daughters. This garment is a symbol of respect, and portraying it in a manner that suggests otherwise is offensive to those who wear it for religious purposes.
The producers of this movie should have considered alternative costumes, such as balaclavas or masks, for such scenes. For us, the Hijab (Niqab) is not worn by our women to hide their identity to commit crimes but to respect, follow, and abide by the teachings of our religion.
I join well-meaning Nigerians in calling on the producers of this movie to respect our religion and remove all the scenes where the Hijab is portrayed negatively. We also urge the National Film and Video Censors Board (@nfvcbng) to censor these hurtful scenes to protect the dignity of those who wear the Hijab.
We hope that our concerns will be addressed promptly and appropriately.
