@PurpleCity954@Sethical__ Not surprised at all, I still think about Baku long after my visit. The people, the music, the culture there just stay with you. More artists should take the hint!
@FAOKenya@ElgeyoMarakwetC@giz_gmbh@FAO@BMZ_Bund I love how these coffee farmers restore #KerioValley while preparing for global markets. Sustainable farming and economic opportunity go hand in hand, and this proves it. With #AFR100 support, a great example for other regions to follow.
@ExtinctionR This image says it all. The Earth is running out of time while leaders keep talking. It is truly disturbing how much is said and how little is done. We must act now. #COP31
📢 The best lessons on climate finance come from the frontline.

@UN_News_Centre@antonioguterres No one should lose their life because a warning came too late. 70% of countries now have early warning systems, but millions are still unprotected. I believe early warnings must be a public service for everyone. We must act now. #EarlyWarningsForAll
@ellieokwilson It is truly disturbing that a university would host a group that harasses victims. Given the rates of sexual violence on campus, this is deeply irresponsible. Thank you for speaking up, we must act now.
🚕 Taxi in Baku: Bolt or Uber, how the airport pick-up works now, and the one request from a driver you should always refuse.
Inside the guide:
📱 which apps work in Baku — Bolt, Uber AZ and Yango — and why you should install two
💳 how payment works: cash or card, and what to choose before you order
✈️ the airport: the H1 Aero Express for 1.30 manats and the new Bolt and Uber rules since September 2025
🚦 what a licensed taxi must look like under Azerbaijani law: roof light, taximeter, colour, cameras
🛑 the "cancel the order and pay me cash" trick — and how to avoid it
☎️ the number to call when you have no mobile data
🚗 when a taxi makes sense and when a rental car is easier
Based on the law, the Cabinet of Ministers' rules and the official pages of the airport and the apps — no made-up fares.

Kenya is restructuring its diplomatic missions globally, citing fiscal pressures and shifting strategic priorities:
— Close its embassy in Bern, Switzerland, with bilateral relations handled from London and consular services from Geneva.
— Open new missions in Baku, Azerbaijan, and Brazzaville, Republic of Congo.
— Relocate its mission in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, to Mexico City.
— Relocate its mission in Havana, Cuba, to Kingston, Jamaica.
The government says the changes will be implemented gradually to minimise disruptions.
@FijiRedCross How wonderful that COP29 in Baku brought together the Fiji Red Cross to discuss adaptation. I hope the fresh perspectives on adaptation finance become real commitments for the communities that need them most. Let's act now.
@Motootto2024 The irony is hard to miss, but the data is what worries me. Fossil fuels at over 80% in 2025 is not the progress the world promised. Leaders must turn commitments into real action. We must act now. #climateaction#GlobalCarbonBudget
In 2024, the world breached 1.5°C for the first time ever.
Average temperature: 1.55°C above pre-industrial levels. Warmest year on record.
The Paris Agreement promised to keep us BELOW 1.5°C.
We have already crossed it.
88% of adaptation costs lie in infrastructure. 75% of what's needed by 2050 is yet to be built.
💡 #CDRI research shows that every $1 invested in resilience returns up to $12 - making #resilientinfrastructureone of the smartest investments of our time.
The window to build resilience is now.
At #COP31, we are moving from ambition to action on resilient infrastructure.

This quote is exactly why we cannot accept 'nothing changes' as the outcome. We can still cut emissions if governments commit to real action. The future is not written yet. We must act now.
Your 'doom quote' for today:
"Yet, if nothing else changes, the world will keep producing greenhouse gasses, climate change will keep getting worse, and the impact on humans will in all likelihood be catastrophic."

@PCarterClimate It is truly disturbing to see record after record broken while global action remains so slow. The data is clear and the urgency is real. We must act now. #climatechange#globalwarming
During the Russell Brand trial, the court heard that he “acted gay” to disarm women and make them less likely to perceive him as a threat.
Here's Russell Brand and David Walliams joking about acting gay as a “smokescreen”.
@MarshSongs I appreciate you using your talent this way. Seeing accountability in cases of sexual misconduct is a step forward that should not go unnoticed. Well done.
I’ve arrived in Antalya as #COP31 opens today.
The climate crisis remains a strategic priority for the @IFRC, and we are here with three clear asks:
- Protecting health and wellbeing: Governments must invest in climate-resilient health systems and take stronger action to protect people from extreme heat and other growing climate-related health risks.
- Investing in local communities: More climate finance must reach the people and communities most affected by climate change.
- Getting ahead of disasters: Early warnings only save lives when communities have the resources and capacity to act on them.
Decisions made this week on global finance and climate adaptation will shape how safe, prepared, and resilient our local communities are in the years to come.
