Solar factories are beginning to spring up across Africa, helping to create favourable conditions for growth and acceptance of the technology.

The devastating impact of #corruption is felt worldwide, resulting in the loss of over $3 trillion in global public spending. This harmful practice contributes to resource depletion, worsens poverty and inequality, hampers the achievement of the #SDGs & #2030Agenda.
Plastics suffocate nature, imperil wildlife, and taint our planet. Let's rise against this ecological crisis! Embrace #reusable choices & forge a future free from the shackles of #SUP. Together, we can restore balance to our one & only #Earth! #INC2#SDGs#sutainability
Deeply disconcerting world temperature records for 2nd day in a row, average temperature reaching 17.01C (62.62G) on Mon, 17.18C (62.9F) on Tue. Antarctica, currently in its winter, registered anomalously high temperatures, accelerating glacier melt. https://t.co/LsiCYqHVJz

World must add 1.5TW of new wind and solar each year to keep to 1.5°C of warming https://t.co/7VYPwdElP4
To limit global warming to within the 1.5°C limit, the world must install at least 1.5TW of new wind and solar capacity each year by 2030, according to a report by Climate Analytics. This amounts to a five-fold increase on the 0.3TW of new wind and solar capacity installed in 2022
Hydrogen’s dirty secret: Leaks could have 12-times impact on global warming than CO2 https://t.co/Fq0pBCMxfd
A new study has determined that the global warming potential of leaked hydrogen is almost 12-times stronger than CO2, highlighting the need for stronger safeguards to prevent leakages during production, transportation, and usage.
