On the final day of #COP30, we worked through the night on the outcome text. It may fall short of what you believe is fair, but you must stay in the room to defend the interests of your people and the generations who will live with the decisions we make today.

In his speech at the @UNFCCC #COP30 in #Belem, @moecc_sl Minister @JiwohA reminded everyone that "the world does not have the luxury of time, and neither do the people of Sierra Leone" when it comes to the climate crisis.

[Ministry of The Environment and Climate Change @moecc_sl]

“We need countries to honour their commitments. The Paris Agreement clearly states who's responsible for historical emissions and what their role should be in helping…vulnerable ones like Sierra Leone, to be more resilient.”
- Minister @JiwohA #COP30

The NDC covers five key sectors: energy, transport, agriculture, waste, and industry, linking mitigation with adaptation. It commits to cutting our socio-economic vulnerability index by half by 2030 while promoting inclusive growth. #protectsierraleone

[Ministry of The Environment and Climate Change @moecc_sl]

Sierra Leone’s #NDC 3.0 sets out a clear pathway to cut emissions and strengthen climate resilience. It aligns national priorities with the goals of the Paris Agreement and provides measurable targets backed by data and actions.

[Ministry of The Environment and Climate Change @moecc_sl]

As part of the final preparations for the #COP30 Climate Summit & Conference in Brazil, Minister @JiwohA joined partners, incl. @UNDPSierraLeone @ProtectionLeone @giz_gmbh @EUinSierraLeone @UNICEFSL in signing the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) commitment form.

[Jiwoh Abdulai @JiwohA]

My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Jamaica and the Caribbean islands in the path of #HurricaneMelissa.
As extreme weather events become more frequent, we need to prioritize our planet's well-being more than ever. May everyone stay safe and protected.

[Protect Sierra Leone @ProtectSL2030]

On the margins of this year’s #UNGA, Sierra Leone proudly co-hosted the @HACforNP Nature Leaders High-Level Event, where @moecc_sl Minister @JiwohA joined global partners to advance dialogue on nature, peace, and sustainable development.

This engagement is a direct expression of His Excellency President @julius_maadabio’s climate agenda and the @ProtectSL2030 vision, linking the GBF #30x30 target to national priorities.

By driving collaboration on biodiversity and sustainable growth, Sierra Leone is strengthening its role as a champion for climate action at home and abroad.
