I challenge the young people in Africa to rise up and use advocacy to drive climate activism around Africa.The liberation wars of the 60’s were about political freedom. Now the youth must wage war for ecological freedom, climate justice and economic freedom. @mithika_mwenda
The climate crisis is really about money. Either too much money is going to the wrong things, or too little money is going to the right things! 💰
It’s time for banks to #FixTheFinance and redirect funds towards climate solutions.

Effective climate-resilience starts from the ground up. Let’s change the narrative where women and young people are no longer sidelined. We stand in solidarity with those that are too often marginalized and demand a seat at the table.

The new research by @ActionAid found that bank financing provided to Global South's fossil fuel industry reached approx US$3.2 trillion (KSh466,720,000,000,000) in the 7years since the Paris Agreement on #ClimateChange was adopted.

Money is flowing in wrong direction – since Paris Agreement, banks have provided 20 times more financing to fossil fuels and industrial agric in Global South than Global North governments have provided as climate finance to countries on the front lines of the climate crisis

Bushfires during dry seasons in Kigoma region is a very common thing. People burn bushes to prepare lands for the next farming season. Sometimes the fires are uncontrolled. Imagine we planted trees in this area and they are all burnt out.
