#COP30 #Adaptation
Developing countries' desire to see meaningful improvement on adaptation planning and implementation. Tripling adaptation finance by 2025 promise from Glasgow is important as the current adaptation funding levels are far below actual needs

I, and the entire Power Shift Africa community, join fellow Kenyans and the world in mourning the passing of Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, a statesman and pan-Africanist whose vision and courage transcended politics. 1/8
I would like to laud the leaders of Africa for the inspiring outcome of the Second Africa Climate Summit (#ACS2).
It represents a decisive turning point for our continent and the world at a time of growing geopolitical uncertainty and climate urgency.
I would like to commend African leaders for their strong and united stance on the pressing need to combat the effects of climate change at the second African Climate Summit (ACS2), which started this morning in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. #ACS25 1/

My #ClimateMobility call to action to policymakers is that we cannot talk about climate change without talking about human mobility. This means that climate negotiations with mobility negotiations are missed opportunities and in action on real challenges & a blind spot. #KDMECC
My #ClimateMobility call to action to policymakers is that climate finance:adaptation,mitigation&loss and damage funds must explicitly fund migration solutions&relocation initiatives.Otherwise,we will continue to see loss,damage&suffering in frontline people.#KDMECC#Youth4KDMECC
My #ClimateMobility call to action: We can't tackle climate change without addressing human mobility. Let's integrate migration & relocation strategies into climate policies for real impact. Time for action, not missed opportunities. #KDMECC#Youth4KDMECC
Are you familiar with the Kampala Ministerial Declaration on Migration, Environment, and Climate Change (#KDMECC)? Governments in East and Horn of Africa have made 12 commitments to tackle #ClimateMobility. Personally, I help by planting trees to rehabilitate damaged ecosystems.
We extend our gratitude to @RPPL006 for their generous donations.We had the privilege of mentoring students at Kambi Garba Mixed Secondary on FGM, early marriages,climate action , education, and careers. Empowering our children as future leaders is vital for transformation.
