@LopesInsights @IMFAfrica I agree with you on the underestimation. I would add Liberia to the list.

Liberia wholeheartedly backs this AU call for COP30 to deliver

During the Africa Day commemoration at #COP30, H.E. @MosesVilakati , AU Commissioner for DARBE, delivered a powerful call for climate justice highlighting that Africa, home to 20% of the world’s carbon sinks, earns less than 1% of global carbon market revenues.

He stressed that COP30 must deliver:
🌍 Reformed carbon markets that value Africa’s ecosystems
💧 Scaled adaptation finance—at least $50B annually
🌱 Investment in nature-based solutions, including the Great Green Wall
👩🏾‍🔬 Empowerment of Africa’s youth, whose innovation can drive a just, green transition

“Africa’s resources, talent, and ambition can help shape a sustainable future. The world must partner with Africa not as beneficiaries, but as co-architects of global climate solutions,” he noted.

At #COP30, the African region endorses Ethiopia’s offer to host #COP32 in 2027

Agreement has yet to be reached on the host of COP 31, with Türkiye and Australia maintaining their bids

Agro-processing sits at the heart of Africa’s industrial strategy linking farmers to markets, boosting intra-African trade & strengthening food systems.

In the lead-up to Africa Industrialization Week #AIW2025, we focus on policies that add value where it matters in Africa.

Forests do more for the climate than sequester and store carbon - they regulate temperature and rainfall, supporting tropical agriculture.

Liberia’s forests contribute immensely to climate mitigation, already storing roughly 3-4 billion tonnes of carbon in soils and vegetation. #CarbonSolution #CarbonMarketsAuthority

[FAO Forestry @FAOForestry]

Forests are key to climate mitigation, storing roughly 771 billion tonnes of carbon in soils and vegetation.

@akin_adesina @AfDB_Group Wonderful!

Reliable infrastructure is key to sustainable development.  In Liberia, President Boakai is making progress in establishing a multi-user railway managed by an independent operator which will create new economic opportunities for Liberia's people and attract U.S. investors.   The U.S. endorses his initiative and urges all parties involved to make a deal quickly.

@FvreignLL The kicker was when I went to a restaurant with only a QR code for the menu, and the waitress has a paper pad and pencil (!!!) to take down my order.

So happy that the #AfDB approves this #GAFSP project that we secured in May 2023. By synchronizing funding streams and being intentional about staple food production, Liberia can feed itself. https://t.co/B1Lffi5e9S

Slums are rarely included in cities' official maps. When natural disaster strikes, that makes them especially vulnerable to damage https://t.co/XuyOeVLnhM via @BW

The interplay between species in this UNESCO World Heritage site, is fascinating. Professor Mitman’s work in highlighting this ecosystem is a valuable part of the sustainable and economic development discourse for the Nimba mountains and for Liberia.
