Thrilled to have our Programmes Coordinator, Tommy, representing our Malawi teams at #COP29!

Real action starts by highlighting the harsh realities of #climatedisasters on the ground.

Countries like Malawi can't face this battle alone—global partnerships and funding are🔑.

[Tommy Chimpanzi @tommy_chimpanzi]

Malawi has experienced more than 19 major floods and seven droughts over the last 50 years.
Low income countries like Malawi 🇲🇼 should not be left to fund solutions to a problem they did not cause.

[EU in Malawi 🇪🇺 @EUinMalawi]

Climate change is hitting Malawi hard, impacting districts like Chikwawa, where floods left 70% of the population vulnerable. The EU-YSB in Malawi will discuss this on 20 Nov at Bwabwali CDSS. The event will be web streamed! Register here to participate:
