From November 6-17 2023, I was privileged to be part of a training program for African journalists. This training that took place in Yaounde and Bordeaux, taught me Journalism lessons I never got while studying. I'm indeed grateful for this opportunity.
From Africa’s parks to its rivers, plastic pollution is everywhere, eaten by our livestock, harming animals like turtles and seabirds, it’s in the air we breathe & food we eat. We can change this, but we need to act now.
For a safe and fair world, we need climate justice and to fast-track a just transition to clean, renewable energy that will create jobs across Africa. We demand an end to the era of fossil fuels, that polluters pay for the damages they continue to cause across Africa.
Climate change poses a significant threat to both the environmental health of our planet and the well-being of its people. Taking action to safeguard our environment and ensure access to clean air is imperative. #ClimateActionNow https://t.co/U3r10hhNlQ
How is climate change a security issue?
A hotter planet leads to volatile food prices, resource competition, and mass displacement.
Climate action:
🟢 Saves lives
🟢 Reduces suffering
🟢 Minimizes losses
Delays amplify risks. #ActNow
People everywhere are rising up against the fossil fuel industry. As Africans, we are on the frontline of a new colonial scramble for oil and gas. It’s time to resist. It’s time for justice. https://t.co/T4nh1JHUxS
At the half-time point of the 2030 Agenda, the science is clear – the planet is far off track from meeting its climate goals.
We must act now to protect our planet and ensure a better future for all. #ClimateAction#climatechange

Water is essential to life on Earth.
But this precious resource is not infinite & we need to stop taking it for granted.

Water can be scarce for many reasons: demand for water may be exceeding supply, inadequate infrastructure, or failed institutions. We urge African governments to stand against water privatization in all its forms
