✨ New milestone for stronger climate transparency. 🇦🇩 Andorra is the first country to undergo a review of its new transparency report under the Paris Agreement. The review focused on: ✅ Andorra's greenhouse gas inventory ✅ Progress on its climate commitments ✅ Areas for improvement and support needs UN Climate Change continues to offer capacity-building and training to all countries to enable successful climate reporting.

https://lnkd.in/gerrZy8y Africa is projected to be impacted significantly more than other parts of the world. It is also a region with the least capacity to adapt to the impacts of climate change and contributes less than four percent of global greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) (Global Carbon Budget, 2022).

Kenya is significantly affected by climate change, despite contributing less than 0.1% of global greenhouse gas emissions. These facts highlight the urgent need for continued efforts in climate adaptation and mitigation on a national scale. #UNREDD #ClimateAction #ConservationEfforts

Small Island Developing States (SIDS) contribute less than 1% of greenhouse gas emissions but face the worst effects of climate change. It can no longer be “business as usual” for them.

Exploring Africa’s sustainable energy initiatives for climate change Africa is leading the way in a transformative journey to explore sustainable energy initiatives that go beyond conventional power concepts in response to the rapidly expanding global climate catastrophe. As the effects of climate change become more apparent, countries throughout the continent are creating novel approaches to reduce environmental damage and promote adaptability. Africa’s commitment… https://lnkd.in/eCb2RhFX

Jordan is amongst the most water-scarce countries and the situation is worsened by the impacts of the #ClimateCrisis. Thanks to the Green Climate Fund and UNEP initiatives, Jordan is now ramping up adaptation efforts and aims to increase its annual water supply with an integrated land and water resources management approach: https://lnkd.in/dW9Wtype

ISS Today > Blue carbon markets: Africa must carefully balance risks and rewards Africa’s productive blue carbon ecosystems offer climate mitigation solutions, but countries must guard against the exploitation of local communities. https://lnkd.in/dpvWyfHU

Slow clap, Scotland. This will ultimately set a precedent for other countries to follow suit if they find the challenge of climate mitigation too challenging. Surely, our month-on-month record-breaking temperature/rainfall data is enough to demonstrate that we must act urgently to abate emissions, as the writing is on the wall that our climate is changing before our very eyes. The future citizens of Scotland and the UK are depending on strong, coordinated climate leadership to prevent the catastrophic tipping points we will inevitably encounter if we continue to do nothing. #climatechange #climateemergency #scotland

First time in Africa, first time in Nairobi, first time at the IEA conference, but not my first time discussing how energy efficiency is a key lever for fighting climate change. Looking forward to many great dialogues and conversations about the water-energy nexus and how solving water is a key part of the climate change agenda. #proudtobegrundfos

#Communities and #districts are taking the lead in assessing their needs and selecting their priority #climate interventions. While many are speaking about #scaling up climate #finance, here is one proven model.... The Government of #Uganda has created a dedicated #climate window in its intergovernmental #fiscal transfer #system so not only the people of #Nebbi will benefit but also those of #Nwoya, #Kasese, #Zombo, #Nakapripirit, #Bulambuli, #Kitgum and #Nabilatuk. As more resources are mobilised, this #systemic and #scaleable approach will allow to gradually expand towards covering an increased number of the 135 districts of Uganda. #Belgium, #EU, #Denmark, #Sweden are supporting Uganda in this journey...
