During the Africa Day commemoration at #COP30, H.E. @MosesVilakati , AU Commissioner for DARBE, delivered a powerful call for climate justice highlighting that Africa, home to 20% of the world’s carbon sinks, earns less than 1% of global carbon market revenues. He stressed that COP30 must deliver: 🌍 Reformed carbon markets that value Africa’s ecosystems 💧 Scaled adaptation finance—at least $50B annually 🌱 Investment in nature-based solutions, including the Great Green Wall 👩🏾🔬 Empowerment of Africa’s youth, whose innovation can drive a just, green transition “Africa’s resources, talent, and ambition can help shape a sustainable future. The world must partner with Africa not as beneficiaries, but as co-architects of global climate solutions,” he noted.

In the lead-up to Africa Industrialization Week #AIW2025, we focus on policies that add value where it matters in Africa.

Enjoying time resting after 10 hectic years as President of the @AfDB_Group. I am so proud of the transformational impacts of our High5s across Africa and globally. Now, I have embarked on 5Rs: Rest. Recover. Refresh. Recalibrate. Relaunch. I will be back, soon!💕

Reliable infrastructure is key to sustainable development. In Liberia, President Boakai is making progress in establishing a multi-user railway managed by an independent operator which will create new economic opportunities for Liberia's people and attract U.S. investors. The U.S. endorses his initiative and urges all parties involved to make a deal quickly.

The interplay between species in this UNESCO World Heritage site, is fascinating. Professor Mitman’s work in highlighting this ecosystem is a valuable part of the sustainable and economic development discourse for the Nimba mountains and for Liberia.
