🌍 With rising global temperatures and record-breaking rainfall, COP29 in Baku arrives at a crucial moment. Despite a tense geopolitical backdrop—including conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East and uncertainty over the recently concluded U.S. elections—this summit demands a united push for climate action.  Key goals include setting a transformative climate finance target and building on past commitments under the Paris Agreement.  Political will and global cooperation are essential to drive strong outcomes on adaptation, loss and damage, and a sustainable future.  Let’s hope for ambitious leadership to turn these challenges into progress! #COP29 #ClimateAction #AfricanClimateStories

🌍Wondered how African communities can benefit from a global shipping levy? ⚡The levy can help fund the transition to zero-emission shipping, helping to reduce Africa's carbon footprint while supporting global climate goals. 💰Additionally, revenue from the levy can be invested in climate resilience projects, renewable energy, and sustainable development, ensuring that communities across Africa are better equipped to face the challenges of a changing climate. This is more than just a levy; it's an opportunity for real change and a sustainable future for Africa.  🌍 #ClimateAction #GlobalShippingLevy

🌍 Time for Shipping to Pay Its Fair Share! 🌍 Did you know the shipping industry emits 1 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases every year without paying any global taxes? That’s about to change! 🌊 The Pacific Island States are proposing a $150 per tonne levy to the IMO on these emissions. This isn’t just about holding shipping accountable—it’s about justice for countries most affected by climate change, especially Small Island States and developing nations. 🌱 The funds raised could help green the shipping industry, strengthen climate resilience, and support wider climate projects in vulnerable regions like Africa. 🌿 Let’s make sure shipping contributes to a sustainable future. 💪 #ClimateJustice #ShippingLevy #ClimateAction

Happy Friday 🎉 With 1 billion tonnes of greenhouse gasses produced annually, shipping is a major polluter, but a global emissions levy could change that. 💡A fair price on shipping emissions would not only drive investment in clean energy but also generate up to $3.7 trillion by 2050 to help vulnerable nations build climate resilience. As the IMO prepares to negotiate this levy, it's crucial for African countries to have their voices heard. 🌍 💬Stay tuned for our next discussion on why this is a matter of justice and fairness. #ClimateAction #SustainableShipping #IMO #JustTransition #GlobalTrade #ShippingLevy #ClimateFinance #AfricanClimateStories

Global shipping transports 80-90% of our goods but is also a major polluter, responsible for 3% of global emissions—almost as much as all African countries combined. The Pacific Island States proposed $150/tonne emissions levy aims to change that by funding clean technologies and climate resilience, especially for vulnerable nations at the forefront of the impacts of climate change. 🌿💡 #CleanShipping #ClimateAction #GlobalLevy #SustainableFuture #AfricanClimateStories
