The exchanges focused on developments in the Great Lakes region, particularly the situation in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, & their implications for regional peace, security, & development.

The Chairperson and ICG members underscored the importance of sustaining ongoing efforts to promote dialogue, de-escalation, & confidence-building.

In this regard, ICG members reaffirmed their support for the AU's efforts & its central role in advancing peace, security, & stability in the Great Lakes region.

The meeting also reaffirmed their conviction that a sustainable solution can only be achieved through dialogue and peaceful means, & called on all stakeholders to uphold their commitments, protect civilians, facilitate unhindered humanitarian access, & respect international humanitarian law.

The Chairperson further noted that the Ebola outbreak is placing additional strain on an already fragile humanitarian situation & underscored the need for strengthened regional cooperation, cross-border coordination, & public health preparedness, in line with the outcomes of the recent AU High-Level Meeting on Ebola in Bujumbura.

#WorldEnvironmentDay might be wrapping up, but the climate challenge isn’t. Neither is the growing movement of people, cities and countries taking action.

This is just a glimpse of the action, ideas and momentum driving climate action around the 🌎.

During the transport parallel session of the 5th AU STC on Transport and Energy, experts highlighted Africa’s push toward safer and more sustainable mobility under the Single African Air Transport Market (#SAATM), a flagship project of Agenda 2063. Progress includes stronger aviation safety oversight through reinforced regional bodies, advancing the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) compliance and regulatory harmonization. Road safety is gaining traction with the African Road Safety Observatory, expanding data systems, capacity building, and a plan to halve fatalities by 2030. A continental electric mobility framework is also driving EV adoption, standards alignment, and value addition. Experts emphasize the need for increased financing, better data coordination, and alignment of national strategies to achieve integrated, resilient transport systems.

While the #ClimateCrisis is a threat for everyone, it does not affect everyone the same and too often magnifies gender inequalities.

To succeed in the clean energy transition, Africa must invest equally in people and skills, not only in infrastructure.

Today, I will be speaking at Women in Clean Energy Africa (WICE Africa), where I will share insights from my work with @ClimateWed on critical climate skills, capacity gaps, pathways to gaining hands-on experience, and underexplored job opportunities in the climate space.

2025 was a challenging year for climate. Yet together with our partners, we worked towards a shared purpose: accelerating & scaling climate finance where it matters most — & in the process broke records in #climateaction. Stay tuned for a look at how we delivered impact in 2025.
