Africa’s climate future must be shaped by strategy, not just statements! At today’s high-level dialogue, Nana Dr. Antwi-Boasiako Amoah, Chair of the Africa Group of Negotiators (AGN), emphasized on a critical shift: climate diplomacy is no longer only about emissions or long-term ambition, it is now deeply tied to geopolitics, energy security, industrial competition, and finance. As Africa prepares for #COP31 and #COP32, the message is clear: We must place climate finance, energy sovereignty, and industrialization at the center of our agenda or risk outcomes that appear progressive on paper but fail our people in practice. “If our climate diplomacy is not aligned with our energy needs, industrial ambitions, and development realities, we risk negotiating outcomes that look progressive on paper—but are difficult to implement.” The Chair raised urgent reflections for the continent: 🔹 Where does Africa still hold leverage in a fragmented global system? 🔹 How do we ensure climate action supports not constrains economic transformation? 🔹 How do we move from common positions to common strategies across climate, energy, finance, and industrial policy? Africa has been a powerful voice in negotiation rooms, but the real test lies in implementation, coherence, and unity beyond the text. As global dynamics evolve rapidly, Africa must act faster, think strategically, and negotiate from a position rooted in development justice and transformation. #ClimateJustice #AfricaCOP #AGN #ClimateFinance #EnergyTransition

Africa’s climate reality cannot be separated from gender justice! Mwanahamisi Singano @MSalimu, Director of Policy at WEDO & Global Co-Focal Point of the Women & Gender Constituency under the UNFCCC, laid bare how geopolitics is shaping and often constraining gender progress in climate action. She noted that gender equality has often been treated as a negotiation trade-off, with recent global political shifts actively stalling progress on gender-responsive climate action. “Gender cannot remain a bargaining chip, we must address the structural inequalities driving women’s vulnerability and ensure they lead climate solutions.” Singano emphasized that African women remain at the frontlines of climate impacts, yet systemic barriers continue to limit their participation and access to resources. She pointed to the Belem Gender Action Plan as a key milestone providing a structured, multi-actor framework for implementation, but warned that delivery at national level remains uncertain. Responding to the gender lens on geopolitics, she called for: 🔹 Climate action that tackles root causes of vulnerability 🔹 Stronger accountability and national implementation 🔹 Investment in gender-responsive data, finance, and institutions 🔹 A shift from participation to women’s leadership in climate policy Her message was clear: advancing Africa’s climate agenda requires ensuring that gender justice is central, not optional. #ClimateJustice #GenderEquality #COP30 #UNFCCC #AfricaCOP

By promoting traditional practices and local ownership, this initiative reflects the essence of locally led climate action,solutions designed by communities, for communities. Protecting heritage, restoring ecosystems, and securing the future. #AfricaClimateAction

Through the “Projet de valorisation des variétés traditionnelles de riz en Casamance,” NSS is revitalizing indigenous rice varieties in Casamance,preserving biodiversity, strengthening food sovereignty, and supporting local livelihoods.

In Senegal, we are showcasing Nous Sommes la Solution (NSS), a movement championing agroecology and women-led climate solutions across the region. Their work empowers communities to lead sustainable and resilient food systems. #ClimateJustice #LocallyLed

In their recent activity, they conducted community sensitization followed by tree planting, bringing people together to restore ecosystems and build climate awareness. This is locally led climate action in practice, solutions shaped, owned, and sustained by the community.

Today, we spotlight Fonds du Mouvement Social (IPBF) in Burkina Faso, advancing locally led climate action through their project “Toongo, Amplifying the Power of Girls and Women for Climate Justice.”

Through the project “Renforcer la société civile pastorale dans la promotion de la justice climatique pour un élevage résilient au changement climatique,” supported by #CJIFA, the initiative is strengthening the voices of pastoralists to build resilient livestock systems.

🇸🇳Today we feature Conseil National de la Maison des Éleveurs (CNMDE), which is supporting pastoralists to confront the growing impacts of climate change, including disappearing pasture, water scarcity, and rising tensions between farmers and herders that threaten livelihoods.

Join us for a strategic dialogue on the implications of COP30 and Africa’s positioning on the road to COP32. @PACJA1 is convening a webinar to unpack key outcomes from COP30 and explore Africa’s geo-strategic priorities as momentum builds toward COP32. shorturl.at/Qn4vv
