Policy analysts of our time, are making policies more relatable and explanatory by using cultural and human connections to explain policies. Earlier this year, I used Pidgin English to highlight the key takeaways from the Davos conference — a relatable approach for West Africa.
@MantseBi_Ago The framework is an actionable policy which will not only safeguard the oceans but protect the climate. We are capable of producing bio fuels to reduce carbon emissions from fossil fuels. The strategy is to implement polices on agricultural residues and forest conservation.
@_iamsamani The AC jumps up to 30 degrees Celsius in attempt to keep it on 16 degrees Celsius. Even air conditioners can no longer keep up with the heat. #ElNiño#ClimateAction
The ACs are not even cooling properly. World leaders are gathering today at #COP31 to discuss the future of climate change. Let’s join the conversation on #ClimateAction
Climate change is not a future threat. It is a health crisis happening right now. At #COP31 Health Day in Antalya, @WHO is calling on world leaders to prioritize health resilience. Investing in climate-smart health systems today saves millions of lives tomorrow.
The Global South is experiencing a serious heatwave crisis which is predicted to become extreme in 2027. World leaders are gathering today in Turkey to discuss the future of Climate Change and awareness. This is the time to hold leaders accountable.
Somalia is on the frontlines of the climate crisis. From prolonged droughts to devastating floods, climate shocks continue to drive hunger and displacement. At #COP31, greater investment in adaptation and resilience is critical to protect lives, livelihoods and food security.

Why is there so little discussion about the El Niño heat wave currently affecting Nigeria? Have Nigerians already become accustomed to El Niño conditions?
