Good morning from New York! 🌍🏙️
Day two of the #U20 Mayors Summit is underway. More conversations, more collaboration and, most importantly, more action for the cities we serve.
Let’s get to work!

I was on Radio Democracy 98.1 FM last week and in response to a question from a listener, I provided an update on the #CableCar. I gave a brief background and explained that we are now awaiting Cabinet approval. #TransformFreetown #TransformingLives #HopeToReality

Priscila Adhiambo, founder of Pamoja Cell, is turning recycled EV batteries into off-grid cold storage for tomato farmers in central Kenya—cutting food waste while powering rural farms without relying on the national grid. A Pan-Africanist at heart, Priscila is part of a new generation of African innovators using technology to tackle local challenges and drive social change. She spoke to TRT Afrika about her vision for using innovation to build solutions that can transform communities across the continent

Today was phenomenal! I had the distinct pleasure of launching the construction of the King Jimmy Market as a core component of the Strengthening Urban Governance and Local Economic Development (SURGE) Project. @EUinSierraLeone

These bags of rubbish were left on Juba Hill Road this morning by an illegal “#cleanSalone” operator. #Freetonians, please call 8244 and register with an FCC approved waster service provider. If you use “#cleanSalone” operators, you are contributing to the problem! #DortiMusGo #TransformFreetown #TransformingLive

Be the first among thousands to say it loud:
Our remaining forests in the Amazon & Congo MUST be protected.
This is not charity. This is survival.
Like, comment & repost if you stand for forests, for climate, for future.

If we switched to #renewableenergy, the number of ships crossing the ocean would fall by 40% because they're just carrying coal & oil & gas!! https://t.co/wPsBnoWEwP

We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

BREAKING: Earth's scientists warn that without immediate, total system change, our growth-addicted economy faces a 2045 dead-end of mass extinctions.

[Volcaholic 🌋 @volcaholic1]

We are talking about 11,000 vetted, peer-reviewed scientists warning us about fact that we are in a global climate emergency.

Their findings carry a bit more weight than
Trump's "It's a hoax" or Bob down the pub saying
"It's just summer".

Two thirds of articles about the wildfires didn't mention climate change.

Once again parts of our media are failing at the most basic part of their job - reporting the truth.

It's capitalism or the planet. It really is that simple.
