We fully endorses this critical message.
Adaptation is a matter of survival. We call on all decision-makers at #UNEA7 and beyond to finally listen to the youth of Africa and translate promises into concrete, funded actions on the ground. Credibility is on the line.

#ClimateAdaptation is no longer optional, it's an imperative.
Without real #ClimateFinance, Africans are left to survive crises they did not create.

On this #WorldClimateDay, we demand the operationalization of the Loss & Damage Fund, transparency and political courage.

World #ClimateDay reminds us of one truth: #climatechange is not distant. It is here.
In #Cameroon, we face record heat, aggressive floods, and daily instability.
I unpacked these realities on #OngolaGreen, the climate awareness program of the Yaounde City Council.

The current solutions proposed by CSOs are commendable, but they are not enough to solve the problem of #plasticpollution. You can’t fix the broken tap of #plasticproduction by simply mopping up the puddle of inadequate solutions on the floor.

Over 3.3B people worldwide are directly affected by #plasticpollution, while 16M living within 5 km of #plasticproduction sites face toxic exposure. Youth and women, especially in #Africa, bear the brunt, suffering 80% of impacts despite producing only 5% of global plastic.

🚨BREAKING: 1,000 LITRES OF ‘BLOOD’ SPILLS FROM SHELL PLATFORM



Greenpeace activists just installed a massive piece of protest art by world-famous artist Anish Kapoor onto a Shell gas platform - symbolising the damage oil giants like Shell are inflicting on people and planet.

Absolutely agreeing with you @greenpeace.org !
#PlasticsTreaty talks are stalled over lack of ambition, with the Chair’s draft being described by Greenpeace International as a “gift to the petrochemical industry & a betrayal of humanity."

🚨⏳Govts have hours to stand up & deliver a treaty that cuts production.
Talks stall on world’s first plastic pollution treaty one day before deadline
Almost 100 countries reject draft treaty as ‘unambitious’ and ‘inadequate’

African youth who refuse to engage in protecting our shared Congo Basin forest and the Indigenous communities who live there will inherit a planet depleted of biodiversity and natural resources.
