Action for climate and environmental justice

Youth led non profit company formed to act on the desperate impacts of climate change,gender justice and good energy governance.

[Action for climate and environmental justice @ACEJUganda]

Youth movements for climate justice are an important force in the fight against climate change, and are bringing much-needed attention and urgency to this critical issue. It is essential that we continue to support the voices of young people in the climate change conversations.

Despite @UEDCLTD's take over from UMEME, many Ugandans are still having difficulty accessing affordable and reliable electricity.

As has been observed in AFIEGO's May newsletter, the electricity sector reforms must translate into real benefits & not just institutional changes.

Thank you to @ItalyUN_NY and @UNDESA for co-organizing this year’s #SDG16Conference and for their continued partnership in advancing this important platform for dialogue and action. @IDLO looks forward to continuing to work with our partners around the world to accelerate progress on #SDG16 as an enabler of the entire #2030Agenda.

2 days left at #SB64 & the choices are clear.

Will Parties
🟢anchor adaptation finance in the #GGA
🟢build a meaningful #JustTransitionMechanism
🟢act on the ICJ’s call for climate action grounded in law and justice?

Today’s ECO 9 is a final warning: https://t.co/H3P6zhfLHk

1/6 📣 ACTION AT SB 64 CALLING FOR LOSS AND DAMAGE ACTION 🪧

🏛️ Yesterday, a civil society action took place at #SB64 to highlight #ClimateJustice issues. 🌍 The gathering aimed to keep #LossAndDamage accountability high despite the absence of a formal agenda item. 🤝

[Climate Action Network International (CAN) @CANIntl]

🧵As #SB64 enters its final hours, negotiators are still struggling to resolve key political questions on #Adaptation, #Mitigation and the new #JustTransition Mechanism.

[StopEACOP @stopEACOP]

As #BonnClimateTalks continue, people along the #EACOP route are living with the consequences.

Just transition can't include fossil fuels. Climate finance should support clean cooking, adaptation, and renewables. Watch Savio share the reality for villagers in Diloda, Tanzania.

This creative #dustbin built entirely from recycled plastic bottles proves that proper waste management isn’t just about disposal,it’s about reusing and recycling. A clear example to #walkthetalk in Environmental conservation for a sustainable future.#reduce #reuse #recycle

[Climate Action Network International (CAN) @CANIntl]

The political commitment was made at #COP30. Now governments must turn BAM into a functioning mechanism and carry that momentum to #COP31!

[Climate Action Network International (CAN) @CANIntl]

The future Belém–Antalya Mechanism (BAM) must put workers, women, Indigenous Peoples, local communities and other rightsholders at the centre of decision-making, with meaningful participation, strong governance and support for implementation.

BONN: Why the Just Transition Mechanism is a big deal at #SB64

It is one of the hottest 🔥 but most divisive topics at the ongoing June Meetings. Our Just Transition Advisor, @kudamanjonjo. explains its importance, what it will do for green industrialisation, and how African countries stand to benefit.

[Power Shift Africa @PowerShftAfrica]

Green growth? Communities must come first

In Bonn yesterday, Power Shift Africa and @UNCTAD hosted a side event on #green industrialisation. One theme stood out: community benefits. @Rukiya_Khamis insists that the pursuit of #greengrowth must never come at the expense of communities, workers, or ecosystems.

[Climate Action Network International (CAN) @CANIntl]

At #SB64, Parties must secure clear language on tripling #AdaptationFinance to at least USD $120 billion and ensure the resources needed to deliver the Global Goal on Adaptation reach those who need them most.

Communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis cannot wait.

[Jan Beagle @JanMBeagle]

At the opening of the #SDG16Conference, I highlighted that, at a time of expanding priorities and shrinking resources, we need to make a stronger case for keeping the rule of law high on national and global agendas, and for investment in #SDG16 as a driver of resilience, stability, and sustainable development.

NEMA sends appreciation to these young individuals for taking action against plastic pollution.

Collective community efforts towards environmental protection is very fundamental for sustainability.

Let’s collectively be our earth keepers!

#ClimateAction begins with us!

[Jan Beagle @JanMBeagle]

Insightful discussion on shifting the focus from challenges to solutions and making the contribution of #SDG16 tangible across the entire #2030Agenda. My appreciation to all panellists for the rich exchange on reinvigorating political and financial support for peaceful, just and inclusive societies. @semen_kryvonos @OmbudsmanPh @UNHumanRights @MartinChungong @ArturoHerrera_G @ACE_Africa @nab_ukr @WorldBank @IPUparliament @UNPhilippines @IDLO

Bonn Climate Conference: 10 days later...

The desire for #climatejustice for vulnerable communities in Africa and around the world keeps the energy levels up. Our Just Transition Advisor, Kudakwashe Manjonjo, participates in a powerful action advocating for the rights of workers, local communities, and Indigenous people.

[YECA @yecaug]

Fund climate solutions no destruction, women need a future that is green and relevant to their living standards.

[AFIEGO @AfiegoUg]

Uganda's ⚡️energy future should prioritise people and the environment.

Investing in clean, renewable and sustainable energy will create green jobs and reduce pressure on forest among others.

Last week, @IGENEastAfrica convened a strategic meeting aimed at facilitating consultations between IGEN-EA members and a consultant leading the development of the network's strategic plan
