1⃣🎯 hours to #COP26
The #cop26glasgow conference is an opportunity for world leaders to come up with great ideas, initiatives, agreements and commitments that would determine the way the whole economy of the world will function over the next decades.
How inspiring to hear @BelloMaryam16 🇳🇬 at #COP29! 🙌🏾 She passionately shared her innovative climate solution and powerful experience from #Youth4Climate 🌍, proving that young leaders drive transformative action.
As stewards of the Earth, we’re called to care for each other. 🙏
#COP29 in #Baku is the chance for nations to fulfil that call to ensure sufficient and accessible renewable energy finance

Had the pleasure of visiting the Times Square in New York today to reconnect with an incredible friend and mentor, Ugochi Obidiegwu @UgochiObidiegwu the founder of @TheSafetyChic — a social enterprise developing African themed education products and programmes to increase safety consciousness and reduce preventable accidents affecting children.
Ugochic was the first young person I worked with in the humanitarian field under the @YALINetwork where she served as the Coordinator of the @yalinetworklag. I learned from her the true practical meaning of tenacity, hard work, and having the right charisma that leaves a lasting impression.
As we sat down and reflected on how far we've come since 2018, we couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude. Our journey has been nothing short of grace, perseverance, and a commitment to following God’s direction—even when the path seemed unclear or impossible. One key takeaway from our conversation was the importance of timely obedience. Sometimes, God is working something out in our lives, but He needs us to trust Him fully and act in His perfect timing. We may not always understand, but the results come when we obey.
We also discussed the powerful role people play in our journeys—those God places in our lives to help us see our vision more clearly, motivate us, or even challenge us to grow.
I’m reminded of the words shared by the pastor this morning at the Times Square Church: "The truth brings freedom; freedom brings joy; and joy brings strength." To succeed in life, we need three things: God’s presence through the Holy Spirit, the guidance of His Word, and the people He places in our path.
As you move forward in your own journey, remember this: even in moments of doubt or challenge, trust that God has a plan. Stay obedient, lean on the people who support you, and keep your faith in Him. The best is yet to come.

#KEEP 1.5°C ALIVE !!!
The high #costs of Baku #COP29 have made it out of reach for grassroots communities, leaving the event dominated by world leaders and oil executives. We must listen to the frontline communities who bear the brunt of this crisis if we want a livable future.
Glad to be in Washington DC ahead of the 53rd @ARNOVA conference.
I am honoured to be having my first international conference experience in the US 🇺🇸. Attending the ARNOVA conference is a significant event in my #PhDJourney as I’d be presenting not just 1 but 2 papers on the current dilemmas and key debate in the UK and US regarding post-election relationship between the state (government) and voluntary/nonprofit sector. I will also be chairing one of the conference sessions on “Advancements on AI and the Nonprofit.”
If you’d be attending the conference, let’s connect and spark some conversation on the nonprofit/voluntary sector and its many components of innovation and how to build a sustainable thriving sector. I’m also available to connect with friends and colleagues from @WorldBank@IFC_org@IMFNews@UNDP and other sister organisations.
Special thanks to my supervisory team particularly, @ProfPeterWells for the vision of bringing me on this PhD journey. A big thanks to @sheffhallamuni PGR Team’s led by Alisha Ali and the entire @CRESR_SHU community for the ever supportive research environment and for sponsoring my trip.

The 2024 #Emissions Gap Report is out; the message is clear: we have work to do.
At COP29 Azerbaijan, our governments will decide to fund our #future, or put the nail in the coffin once and for all on keeping 1.5 degrees within reach.
