New paper out! (with @Malkomere): Squaring the Circle: Development Prospects Within the #ParisAgreement cclr.lexxion.eu/article/CCLR/2…

HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE 🫨 Sabastian Sawe becomes the first person ever to break the 2-hour barrier in official race conditions, storming to a historic 1:59:30‼️ @KejelchaYomif, on his marathon debut, also breaks 2 hours with a stunning 1:59:41 and @jacobkiplimo2 clocks 2:00:28, also faster than the previous world record 😤

Set a treadmill at 21kph ( max most will go to) and try to run for 30 seconds on it. That's what he did for 1 hour, 59 minutes and 30 seconds. The peak of human physical achievement. Insane, absolutely insane.

Did you know? Under #Agenda2063, the African Union is advancing the creation of three continental financial institutions to strengthen Africa’s economic sovereignty and reduce reliance on external financing. These are: The African Investment Bank (AIB) – to finance infrastructure and strategic development projects The African Monetary Fund (AMF) – to promote macroeconomic stability and provide financial support to Member States The African Central Bank (ACB) – to deepen financial integration and support a future common African currency These institutions are designed to ensure that Africa finances Africa, strengthens integration, and builds long-term resilience.

Bravo #Senegal for a deserved #afcon2025 trophy! And a dramatic final to boot!

5/ 🌞 Optimism We must act on the belief that the future is not something we inherit, but something we shape. 📑 Concrete policy recommendations from all sessions are being compiled for submission to the G20 via South Africa’s presidency.
