The Africa Climate Change Dialogue on “Climate Governance Influence and Leadership Across Multi Sectors” brings together key voices from policy, science, and civil society to explore how Africa can strengthen climate leadership, accountability, and governance in addressing the climate crisis.

The dialogue features representatives from @EnviClimateC_Ke, @brianmounde
@GGI_Kenya @lizwathuti, and @MuiaAlphonce, Nzambi Matee for a focused conversation on advancing effective climate action across sectors and institutions.

The discussion highlights the importance of multi-sector collaboration, inclusive policymaking, climate finance, youth engagement, and strengthening governance frameworks to build resilience and drive sustainable development across the continent.

Africa remains one of the regions most vulnerable to climate change despite contributing the least to global emissions, making strong climate governance and leadership critical for adaptation and development.

UN General Assembly ADOPTS resolution welcoming the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice on the obligations of States in respect of climate change

RESULT
In favor: 141

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I welcome the adoption of the General Assembly resolution on the @CIJ_ICJ's advisory opinion on climate change – a powerful affirmation of international law, climate justice, science & the responsibility of states to protect people from the escalating climate crisis.

Those least responsible for climate change are paying the highest price.

That injustice must end.

On 3rd July 2026, Globally renowned environmentalist, youth and climate action champion, and CEO of the @GGI_Kenya @lizwathuti, will take part in the Mau Conservation Marathon, standing in solidarity with efforts to restore and protect the Mau Forest Complex for present and future generations.

Her participation sends a powerful message to young people across the country: that everyone has a role to play in environmental conservation and climate action. Through collective action, we can safeguard our forests, strengthen climate resilience, and secure a sustainable future.

Every step taken during the marathon will directly support conservation efforts, ecosystem restoration, and the protection of Kenya’s critical water towers. #RunForMau #RunForConservation #MauConservationMarathon

From San Francisco to Africa, the contours of a new climate and economic partnership are taking shape.
At the California–Africa Climate & Economic Forum, we engaged with leaders across government and industry to advance a shift from traditional cooperation toward co-investment, innovation, and delivery.
The opportunity now is to translate this alignment into tangible outcomes at scale.

Despite its shortcomings, politicization, institutional biases, and inefficiencies, the work of the UN has been successful on many fronts, often despite having limited resources. It’s important to remember this when discussing the future of the UN, which just turned 80, and whether we need more or less multilateralism.

This new @ColumbiaIGP report written by Scott Barrett, @JGuehenno, @danaujoks, @JoseA_Ocampo, @bsorlove, @Jo_Puri, and Dirk Salomons emphasizes 10 clear-cut examples that show the significant impact multilateral cooperation can have.

"When we burned this burn towards the Moon, I said that we do not leave Earth, but we choose it. And that is true. We will explore. We will build. We will build ships. We will visit again. We will construct science outposts. We will drive rovers. We will do radio astronomy. We will found companies. We will bolster industry. We will inspire. But ultimately, we will always choose Earth. We will always choose each other.” — #ArtemisIITH astronaut @Astro_Christina @UNEP @NASA

The Second Africa Urban Forum @2ndauf has officially opened.

This moment calls for bold leadership and decisive action to build cities that are safe, sustainable, and resilient in the face of climate change.

Africa’s urban transformation is not a distant vision ; it is a responsibility we must deliver on today. @_AfricanUnion @MuiaAlphonce

Speaking at ChangeNow Summit at the Grand Palais, in Paris, 🇫🇷!

In my opening keynote address on the “Rio Trio Synergies to Restore Land, Climate & Biodiversity,” I emphasized the urgency of moving beyond fragmented approaches and advancing integrated solutions that connect land restoration, climate action, and biodiversity.

Proud to share the work we are leading at the Green generation initiative ( @GGI_Kenya ) on this global platform, demonstrating how community-driven, ecosystem-based approaches can deliver impact at scale.

When the continent was reeling from the impacts of COVID19, I attended the #AUSummit2023 and @AUC_MoussaFaki gave one of the most profound speeches that must be deeply reflected.
“….The interest of others are threatening to turn Africa into a battleground for geostrategic struggles and in doing so is creating a new version of Cold War.We oppose any form of instrumentalization of our member states”.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

The absence of permanent African seats on the Security Council is indefensible.

The Security Council must reflect today’s world. This is 2026 — not 1946.

Whenever decisions about Africa and the world are on the table, Africa must be at the table.
