Managing Sierra Leone’s environment in a sustainable manner, facilitating implementation of appropriate legislations and programmes. Minister: @JiwohA

[Ministry of The Environment and Climate Change @moecc_sl]

Africa safeguards forests, biodiversity & carbon sinks that serve the global interest, yet remains under-recognised & under-compensated. The message is clear: climate action must deliver fairness, access to tech & decision-making power for Africa as a partner, not a bystander.

Jiwoh Abdulai (@JiwohA) says Africa didn’t get everything it asked for at COP30 (@Cop30noBrasil), but the needle has moved. Public finance must stay at the core of adaptation — not an afterthought to private capital.

More from the midnight marathon at #COP30 with our LDC colleagues.

[Jiwoh Abdulai @JiwohA]

On the final day of #COP30, we worked through the night on the outcome text. It may fall short of what you believe is fair, but you must stay in the room to defend the interests of your people and the generations who will live with the decisions we make today.

In his speech at the @UNFCCC #COP30 in #Belem, @moecc_sl Minister @JiwohA reminded everyone that "the world does not have the luxury of time, and neither do the people of Sierra Leone" when it comes to the climate crisis.

[Ministry of The Environment and Climate Change @moecc_sl]

“We need countries to honour their commitments. The Paris Agreement clearly states who's responsible for historical emissions and what their role should be in helping…vulnerable ones like Sierra Leone, to be more resilient.”
