The court ordered that there would be no further delays at the next hearing and that the case would be dismissed if the prosecutor failed to present witnesses. We hope that happens so these young people, whose only crime is voicing opposition to #EACOP, can find peace.

Forests are one of the most important ecosystems on earth -- providing habitat for 80% of land species, filtering water, and supporting livelihoods.

They also play a critical role in fighting climate change by absorbing and storing excess carbon. 🌿

This #WorldTourismDay2024, AFIEGO joins @IGENEastAfrica to commend @GovUganda, civil society & the private sector for opening up & supporting chimpanzee trekking in Bugoma forest. Instead of sugarcane growing, sustainable activities like tourism should be encouraged in the forest

On this #WorldTourismDay, we shine a spotlight on the Rwenzori Mountains - also known as the Mountains of the Moon.

This UNESCO World Heritage site is a symbol of Uganda’s rich natural beauty and biodiversity. From the snow-capped peaks to the green valleys, the Rwenzoris offer an adventure like no other

Polluters are rewarded for wrecking the planet.

The fossil fuel industry continues to pocket profits & subsidies while everyday people bear the costs of climate catastrophe—from rising insurance premiums to lost livelihoods.

This is when we debunk dangerous & distracting myths about how to manage the climate crisis.

So what greenwashing nonsense are we talking about, which governments are pushing? Here are your answers!

[Power Shift Africa @PowerShftAfrica]

Only a Pan-African industrial policy on critical minerals for renewable will unlock prosperity

Africa’s past failures and the successes of other economies should serve as a guide on how the continent works with partners on the critical minerals front.

To secure the best deals for the continent in multilateral and other diplomatic processes such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the role of the African Union is key. Negotiating as a bloc would give Africa a stronger voice.

How would you rate a polluter?

We've awarded @TotalEnergies a resounding zero. If it were possible to go lower, believe us, we would!

Why, you ask? We've witnessed their trail of atrocities in Africa: community displacements, ecocide, and loss of livelihoods. #KickTotalOut.
