5/ Obed Koringo, Climate Policy Advisor at @CARE asks leaders at #ACS2 to prioritize adaptation finance for communities. #PeoplesVoices #PeoplesAssemblyACS2

[Pauline Njoroge @paulinenjoroge]

After last year’s GenZ protests, the president admitted that one of his administration’s biggest failures was poor communication with the public. He squarely blamed those entrusted with that responsibility, suggesting they had fallen short. At the time, it seemed like a turning point, as though the government was finally ready to listen, to reform, and to serve the people better.

Many people took him at his word and when they were called in to support, they stepped up. Not out of blind loyalty, but out of hope. Hope that perhaps, just perhaps, there was a genuine desire to reset the course of leadership in the country.

But for some of us, it did not take long to see through the smokescreen, and we quickly retreated, unwilling to lend our credibility to a system our conscience could not tolerate.

Beneath the carefully staged gestures of reform, nothing had changed. As soon as the protests faded and the pressure eased, the system snapped right back to its old self, to business as usual. The same arrogance, same disregard for the people, the same toxic indifference that sparked the protests in the first place.

The administration does not have a communication problem. It has a delivery problem, an arrogance problem and a moral problem. It is tone deaf to the concerns of the people.

And now, as citizens prepare to march in memory of those killed over a year ago simply for demanding justice, there are reports that entities within the administration are quietly plotting to meet them with violence once again.

This is not just unacceptable. It is shameful.

What kind of country have we become, where the government sees citizens not as people to serve, but as threats to silence? Where justice for the dead is met not with empathy, but with intimidation and fake promises?

3/ Obed Koringo @CARE: "The quantum is unacceptable, failing developing countries on all fronts. It falls far short of the US$1 trillion science-backed demand and it shifts the burden to developing countries. It does not put emphasis on quality aspects whatsoever..."

🎙️Have you listened to the latest #CAREAfricast? In this episode, @ObedClement dives into the promises from COP28, the realities of #ClimateFinance, & how women in coutries that emit less, eg in #EastAfrica, are key in the fight for climate justice.

❗️We can't afford delays on climate action. Day 1 of UAE-Belem WP shows a critical need for urgent streamlining. Previous processes were slow: we must do better.⏰

This workshop must define a clear work plan, criteria & principles leading to a comprehensive report at Bonn.(1/2)

[Climate Action Network International (CAN) @CANIntl]

👏Climate Action Network is encouraged to see participants eager to discuss the modalities of the UAE–Belém Work Programme from the get-go.

Early engagement is crucial to effective action. 🌍

Let's keep up this momentum to ensure a detailed report for adoption at #SB60.🤩 (2/2)

@ObedClement @CAREClimate 💰Developed countries need robust roadmap to double adaptation finance - not more promises, says @ObedClement.

The less we do on adaptation, the more we cross the various limits of adaptation, and the more we shift into loss and damage @CARE @CARE_Danmark @CANIntl @ClimateAdapt @LossandDamage #COP28UAE

[CARE Climate Justice @CAREClimate]

Failure to secure ambitious agreements on climate adaptation would be catastrophic for communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis warns @CAREECSARegion's @ObedClement #COP28
