POWER UPDATE | Rich countries say they met their climate finance goal again in 2024. But there’s a catch. According to the OECD report, 67% of the $136.7 billion mobilised in climate finance in 2024 took the form of loans. Real climate finance should come in the form of grants.

🌍 Climate change didn’t RSVP, but Africa’s frontlines are full. 🌱 #Adapt2Live matters because communities are already facing floods, droughts, and heatwaves — and they deserve support, finance, and recognition for solutions they’re leading. Survival isn’t optional. Learn more: www.adapt2live.org

There is a particular kind of energy that fills a room when people who genuinely believe in Africa's future are finally in the same space. Last week in Nairobi, we felt every version of it. Over the moon. Winsome. Audacious. Fearless. Groovy. Focused. Sunny. Glowing. Undivided. 🧵 #JustTransition

Elections are supposed to be decided by people, but increasingly, they are being shaped by the climate. Since 2006, over 90 elections across more than 50 countries have been affected by climate-related disasters, with dozens disrupted in 2024 alone. The impact can even influence election outcomes.

"Phase out" vs "phase down." Climate talks stall when negotiators cannot agree on language. It sounds technical, but it is not. In Santa Marta, those two words captured a much bigger divide.

Elections are no longer purely political events, they are environmental ones. For decades, we compartmentalised. Politics stayed in the political arena. Business stayed in the boardroom. Climate was the problem of the affected — and only the affected.
