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.

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

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.

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.
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!

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.
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.
