Very pleased to meet the Director-General of the Africa Risk Capacity Mr. Ibrahima Cheikh Diong @icdiong on the margins of the WB/IMF Spring meetings in Washington DC.

We look forward to ARC becoming a strong partner of the Loss & Damage Fund launch at COP28

Thank you for this incredible opportunity to lead the African Group of Negotiators. I am fully committed to serving the interests of our continent and its people with determination and dedication.
As we face unprecedented challenges such as economic inequality, climate change, and slow progress towards achieving SDGs, the role of the African Group of Negotiators has become more crucial than ever before. All African nations must work together to find solutions that benefit us, ensure our voices are heard globally, and advocate for harnessing the continent's potential to offer sustainable and scalable climate solutions.
I am aware of the trust you have placed in me, and I promise to lead with integrity, transparency, and inclusivity. I believe in the power of unity and collaboration and am committed to fostering a spirit of cooperation among member nations to achieve our common goals.
Together, we can amplify the voices of African countries, advocate for our shared interests, and drive positive change for the benefit of current and future generations. I look forward to working closely with each of you, listening to your perspectives, and forging a path that reflects our continent's diversity and richness.
Let us embark on this journey together, united in our vision for Africa's brighter and more sustainable future.
#Wetlands should not be merely considered for the beauty of their products and goods they provide for economic growth. This year's #WetlandsDay is an occasion to reconcile wetlands and human wellbeing which includes environmental health and #biodiversity conservation
Indeed @LossandDamage, yesterday, I had the utmost privilege to discuss as panelist @COP28_UAE on how saltwater intrusion affects lives&livelihood of rice-growing women in @thegambiaUN. I urge 4rapid action to address losses&damages. #healthysoils for women.

After climate&health, today December 4, 2023, Finance is the theme on the spotlight at #COP28 and as climate youth delegate, I will follow events on climate finance related topics.
Health was the focus of discussions in many of the panels held at #cop28 with climate finance institutions showing more commitments to invest more in building strong health systems in the face of climate change, especially in the LDCs and SIDS. Let's see how youths fit in that.
Today, at #cop28, I was at the world climate action summit with a cool focus on youth and education. I am happy that finance for education on climate change has been acknowledged to be lagging behind. And that @theGCF, @GCAdaptation and other intiatives will work to bridge d gap.
#COP28 starts this week!
#Globalwarming of 1.1°C has resulted in more frequent & more intense extreme weather events that have caused dangerous impacts on nature & people worldwide.
Every increment of warming results in rapidly escalating hazards.
