"By financing #fossilfuel infrastructure, the @AfDB_Group risks locking Africa into a future of worsening climate impacts, undermining resilience and jeopardizing future generations. We must urgently pivot to sustainable, scalable #RenewableEnergy solutions."

As part of the agenda of the Congo Basin Conclave, my focus on valuing environmental education means a lot across class and generations. This is emphasized upon by our documentary
African Voices for Africa's Forests which is also part of the agenda👇🏽 https://t.co/mQQcg82GJm
The second film, African Voices for Africa’s Forests: Gender, Indigenous Rights and Restoration follows Climate Leader Ewi Lamma, who has committed her life and work to changing the status quo by working with local communities, women, and youth on reforestation in Cameroon.
Take 10 minutes this Friday to watch @ewi_lamma's incredible documentary, African Voices for Africa's Forests 💚 🌳

Beautiful and poignant, Ewi gives a voice to rural women & indigenous communities in Cameroon.
@ewi_lamma is a young climate activist from Cameroon. She has committed her life and work to changing the status quo by working with local communities, women & youth.
Her new campaign, #SheSpeaksClimate, supports rural women to build their capacities around climate leadership.
Please join us at the Cameroon Pavilion as we show the documentary #AfricanVoicesforAfricasForests
Only 2% of climate finance to women projects is no news to play slack about
This is the first time this documentary is going at the national level and we are excited!!!!
