Daisy Mukarakate @nyazemuka, Regional Climate Policy Advisor at United Nations Development Program, emphasized the urgency of stronger collaboration in a rapidly shifting global landscape:

“At a time of rising geopolitical tensions, non-state actors and the UN system must work together to sustain climate ambition and deliver on development.”.

She painted a clear picture of a world marked by declining global trust, rising unilateralism, and widening financing gaps—all of which threaten progress on both climate action and the Sustainable Development Goals.

She highlighted that in this context:

• Non-state actors play a critical role in keeping ambition alive—through advocacy, accountability, community data, and locally-led solutions

• The UN system remains essential in providing platforms for dialogue, technical support, and ensuring coordination across countries and sectors

• Collaboration between the two is key to overcoming fragmentation and accelerating implementation on the ground

Importantly, she stressed that non-state actors are not just participants—but drivers of innovation and last-mile impact, bringing community voices into global processes and ensuring no one is left behind.

- Her key message:
Africa must strengthen partnerships, protect civic space, and actively engage in both UN processes and regional platforms to shape climate and development outcomes in its favor.

@magattew I’m so sorry sister your story is half baked. You need to do some more research

From Baku to Belém 🇪🇹, Ethiopia is showing what implementation looks like.

With @UNDP’s support, its new NDC3.0 turns global climate commitments into national action, raising ambition, empowering women & youth, and tackling loss & damage through data-driven systems.

[Matthias Z. Naab @mznaab]

At the #BakuClimatePeace Forum during #AfricaClimateWeek, I highlighted the growing recognition of the climate–security link. Integrating peace considerations into climate strategies is essential for building resilience, stability and sustainable development.

Through UNDP Climate Promise, 50 NDCs in fragile contexts now acknowledge conflict as a barrier to climate action. Incorporating peace outcomes into these commitments helps ensure that climate investments also reinforce security and effective governance.

[Matthias Z. Naab @mznaab]

Carbon markets under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement offer Africa a pathway to mobilize finance, raise ambition and deliver development benefits to the most vulnerable.

At #AfricaClimateWeek, we hosted the Article 6 African Countries Exchange with @SECO_CH. This half-day dialogue convened governments and UNDP teams to strengthen technical capacity, foster peer learning and identify next steps toward #COP30.

With the right partnerships and policies, Africa can shape carbon markets in ways that deliver real value for countries and communities.

RIP Mike Clinton
A true architectural legend whose visionary work helped shape Harare’s skyline. From the towering Reserve Bank Building to the iconic Karigamombe, Clinton’s legacy shines in glass and steel. He gave Harare its glossy identity and left footprints across Africa

60 years of possibilities realized.

There is no excuse that Africa still lacks permanent representation on the Security Council.

I will keep working with the @_AfricanUnion and all @UN Member Countries to ensure the representation Africa needs – including with two permanent members.

It was a privilege to speak at the High-Level Event for the 2024 Africa Industrialization Week #AIW2024, alongside prominent partners.

The convergence of AI, green industrialization & intellectual property holds immense potential to drive Africa’s industrial transformation.

With the #AfCFTA unlocking markets and initiatives like @timbuktooafrica empowering startups, Africa is positioning itself for a new era of sustainable industrial growth.
