JUST ANNOUNCED: a new $2 billion fund will flow directly to people on-the-ground restoring land across Africa.
This huge public and private investment in @Afr100_Official shows us what finance for climate action can look like at scale.

Climate change is on a different timeline & scale than other global crises.
It's the defining issue of our age, the central challenge of our century.
It's outrageous & self-defeating to put it on the back burner. If anything, we need greater urgency & stronger #ClimateAction.
The climate crisis is the fight of our lives - and we are losing.
But one thing is certain: those that give up are sure to lose.
So let’s fight on together.
And let’s win.
#COP27
#Egypt welcomes World Leaders, climate envoys, delegates and civil society from around the world to this years Sharm El Sheikh Climate Implementation Summit, where action meets ambition.
#TogetherForImplementation#COP27
It’s time for nations to come together in solidarity, fully respecting all human rights and guaranteeing a safe space for environmental defenders & all actors in society to contribute to our climate response.
We need all hands on deck for faster, bolder #ClimateAction.
#COP27
With implementation being the focal point of this year’s #COP27, a Roundtable discussion on "Food Security" brought together climate experts to break down the ways in which we must actively carry out on-ground action in relation to building more resilient agriculture systems.
As @unfccc, we will be holding people to account – be they Presidents, Prime Ministers or CEOs.
Our policies, our businesses, our infrastructure, our actions, must all align with the #ParisAgreement.
My signal of change today at the opening of #COP27.
#ClimateChange is about consumption of the very richest 💸 people in our global society.
50% of global emissions are emitted by just 10% of the population.
90% of global emissions by 50% of the population.
#COP27 needs to recognise climate justice & the rich💰must change NOW
I have just warned global leaders at #COP27:
We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot on the accelerator.
Our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible.
We need urgent #ClimateAction.
"The science is clear, any hope of limiting temperature rise to 1.5 degrees means achieving global net zero emissions by 2050. But that 1.5 degree goal is on life support and the machines are rattling" - @antonioguterres, Secretary General of @UN at #SCIS. #COP27
Last year, I asked world leaders to open their hearts before entering COP26 negotiations.
Many have yet to take the climate crisis seriously.
At #COP27 , leaders must show that they care about people & open their eyes to the realities of climate inaction
We kick off the #ClimateJusticeTorch conference at Sarova Pan Africa for the East and Horn of Africa.
#OneAfricaOneVoice#COP27. Addressing issues facing the regions and bringing to the fore the voices of vulnerable communities.
Scaling action for climate-vulnerable communities across East and Horn of Africa and mobilizing finance to develop emerging economies, move ambition to implementation and ensure we halve global emissions.

Those who have done the least to cause the climate crisis are paying the highest price. Delivering on loss and damage at #COP27 will be an important litmus test for rebuilding trust between developed and developing countries.
These plastics are recycled for potting the mangroves which will be planted in the next season. Clean up the ocean and reuse what can be reused.
#ecosytems#ClimateEmergency
#COP27 must be the place for action on loss and damage.
This is the number one test of how seriously governments take the growing climate toll on the most vulnerable countries.
It is a moral imperative that cannot be ignored.
