The PAP committee on Agriculture is currently listening to a presentation on a draft model law on climate change prepared in partnership with PACJA. Prof. Robert Kibugi of University of Nairobi and Prof. Nicholas Orago from Maseno University are the lead consultants
The Global Goal on Adaptation agenda is stuck as SB64 on its final stretch. It is unfathomable that developed countries are finding it difficult to allow for recalling the language on tripling of adaptation finance by 2035 even though this is clear in COP30 decision @PACJA1
The dramatic rush to exploit Critical minerals in Africa to fuel energy transition must not exercebate vulnerability of the continent. Africa must be supported to transition from the basic phase in critical minerals value chain-extraction- to higher levels in the chain @pacja1
Today in Bonn, Germany, I delivered a statement on behalf of African Civil Society under PACJA at #SB64.
As the negotiations enter their final days, we are deeply concerned by the slow pace of progress and the continued sidelining of critical issues,particularly climate finance
Today at the sidelines of #SB64 in Bonn, Germany, #PACJA, represented by Head of Programs Charles Mwangi, convened a #CSOs engagement with the Chair of the African Group of Negotiators (AGN). The meeting strengthened dialogue between African #CSOs and negotiators.
PACJA kicks off engagement at the 12th Africa Forum on Sustainable Development (#ARFSD12) in Addis Ababa!
In a session organized by UONGOZI Institute & UNECA, our ED, Mithika Mwenda @mithika_mwenda, highlighted pathways to beneficiation & regional value chains in critical minerals.
• Africa is rich in minerals but poor in value capture positioning matters rather than geology
• We must move beyond extraction to processing & manufacturing
• Beneficiation = power, skills, trade, policy & market access
• No energy = no processing; no logistics = no manufacturing
• Regional cooperation is critical
• Africa must not power the global transition and remain powerless

PACJA is a partiner in a validation workshop in Addis on a continental study on the impacts of climate change on children rights in Africa. The study was commissioned by AU through" Africa committee of Experts on the rights and welfare of the child @PACJA1@mithika_mwenda
Glad to cover the inaugural Conference on Accelerating Agricultural Adaptation in Africa (C4A) on this World Food Day Courtesy of @PACJA1 Looking forward to hearing from the speakers on how Africans are adapting to climate change in food production & why water management is key
The clock is ticking, and #C4A is just around the corner. Agriculture's role in climate change is undeniable. We have to tackle this challenge for resilient #Africa. Join the conversation! Register today: https://t.co/cS4rCgXDxg #Adaptation4Africa#Agriculture4Resilience#COP28
PACJA's goal is to empower youth, women, and indigenous groups to advocate for and incorporate climate adaptation. By working together, we can shape policies that address local needs and adaptation priorities. #Adaptation4Africa#FinanceAdaptation#COP28#Resilience
We're uniting with partners to bridge adaptation gaps in Africa and enhance resilience. Together, we'll scale up sustainable strategies that align with community needs. 💪 #Adaptation4Africa#AdaptationFinance#Resilience#COP28
Today we continue the conversation as we launch the community of practice on an adaptation network in the north african region. Follow the conversation here: https://t.co/sSCM82zk7L

At the pre-WBG/IMF annual meeting, @devinitorg was officially invited by @PACJA1 to speak on climate finance accounting in Marrakesh.
Emphasising the point on lack of reporting rules which has likely led to inflated climate finance claims and the lack of accountability thereof.
