Climate Adaptation Stories From Africa In Kenya, the Akamba people are among communities fighting to protect indigenous seeds. Power Shift Africa spent time with community members who emphasised that the key to food security and climate resilience begins with indigenous seeds. Now, elders are passing down knowledge of traditional seed saving, helping communities adapt to drought and reclaim control over their food systems. Read how this community is fighting for seed sovereignty. bit.ly/4ddnhsk

@PowerShftAfrica @KCCWG @UNWomenUK @FemnetProg @CAID_Kenya @WWF_Kenya On COP30 Presidency letters and Road to Belém We acknowledge the four letters issued by the COP30 Presidency. However, we believe there is need for further dialogue to reflect collectively on how to navigate the path to Belém and clarity on MOI

On gender "Our women and girls must be full participants in the global response to climate change. Africa cannot afford to leave anyone behind. Gender inclusion is a fundamental pillar of any just and equitable transition."

Earlier today in Bonn,AGN chair Dr.Richard laid out Africa's priorities on different agenda items

Juma Ignatius: 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement—a pivotal moment for Africa. It’s a chance for Africans to come together, forge common positions, and negotiate with unity and purpose. More importantly, it’s time to move from rhetoric to real action.

Decentralized renewable energy isn’t just an option it’s the fastest path to equitable energy access. At the #AfDB Annual CSOs Forum in Abidjan, joined Dr. Kevin Kariuki to emphasize the urgent need for greater AfDB financing toward DRE solutions in fragile and underserved areas

To achieve universal energy access by 2033, we need innovative financing models. While AfDB has made progress on DREs (e.g. CEFA), a dedicated DRE facility is key to meeting the 150M target. Let’s tap into diaspora investments & prioritize community-led RE systems. #AfDBForum

The Horn of Africa faces devastating climate impacts despite contributing the least to the crisis. The region lacks the capacity to adapt — it’s time to rethink climate adaptation financing. We need finance, technology, and capacity building to build resilience. #ClimateJustice

We need a local facility with a component on technology transfer to actualize Africa's adaptation agenda and priorities

World Desertification and Drought Day will be commemorated at Mwangea Hills-Taita T. a unique landscape straddling two critical ecological zones the semi-arid lowlands and forest-rich highlands. This region is a living testament to the need and the promise of land restoration.

Africa's Green Future: AFDB Financing of the Just Energy Transition in Africa us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

African countries should not go into debt to survive climate change. Adaptation finance must be grant-based and accessible not tied to harmful loan conditions. #DebtJustice #ClimateAction #ShapingAfricaAdaptation #COP30 #SBs62

National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) are ready but unfunded. Donors must step up to fund these plans and support local ownership. No more pledges without delivery. #FundTheNAPs #AdaptationFinance #ShapingAfricaAdaptation #SBs62 #COP30

Transformational adaptation not just incremental fixes is key for Africa’s future. Africa needs structural shifts in food systems, water management & infrastructure not short-term relief. Climate finance must enable long-term resilience & equity. #ShapingAfricaAdapation

Adaptation is not optional for Africa it’s an urgent survival imperative. We face the harshest climate extremes despite contributing the least to the crisis. #AdaptationNow #AfricaClimateJustice #ShapingAfricaAdapation #SBs62 #COP30

Climate adaptation must be locally led and globally supported. Communities know what works. Donors must provide predictable finance for long-term, community-driven adaptation. #LocallyLed #ClimateAdaptation #ShapingAfricaAdapation #SBs62 #COP30
