The @UN_PGA High-Level Event on Climate Action and the Just Transition (Sep 22–23) brings together government leaders and key stakeholders to assess progress on the global energy transition amid the accelerating climate crisis. For Africa, a just energy transition must go beyond shifting from fossil fuels to renewable and low-carbon energy pathways. Our @ReSAKSS #ATOR2024 Report highlights the need for a transition that advances social justice, supports economic development and environmental sustainability, and strengthens Africa’s position in the international division of labor and its influence in global governance.

When it comes to data, we were able to achieve a lot under Malabo. Going forward, we need to build capacity under Kampala. Cross-sectoral coordination across governance and technical levels will be crucial-Dr. Paul M. GUTHIGA, Head, @ReSAKSS Unit, AKADEMIYA2063. #AFSForum2026 #FromMalaboToKampala @TheAGRF

Happy #WorldWaterDay2026! | Water & Gender Water and gender are central to Africa’s food systems transformation. Inclusive irrigation policies empower women farmers, reducing labor burdens while improving access to income and food. But scaling irrigation must go hand in hand with more inclusive and efficient water management, especially in water-stressed countries. This will be critical to achieving the ambitions of the @_AfricanUnion #Agenda2063 and the #KampalaDeclaration. Explore the evidence👇mamopanel.org/media/uploads/…

Today, @AKADEMIYA2063 stands in solidarity with women and girls worldwide, calling for stronger institutions and the political will needed to dismantle barriers to equal justice. This means eliminating discriminatory laws, strengthening legal protections, and ending harmful practices that undermine their rights. Such actions are vital to accelerating progress toward gender equality in every area of life, in alignment with the @_AfricanUnion #Agenda2063.
