#DYK We are data poor about 71% of the planet. Join us for #ClimateWednesday today at 6PM WAT via x.com/i/spaces/1qxvvvAeOkBxB with @TheglobalVick, Geospatial and Sustainability Professional. Topic: What the Data Tells Us: Oceans, Climate and Our Future

I sincerely appreciate @climategist for this meaningful recognition of my contributions to advancing climate action and sustainability initiatives both in Nigeria 🇳🇬 and across the globe 🌎. This honour further inspires my commitment to working with partners, communities, and stakeholders to drive impactful solutions to the climate crisis. #LetsDoMore #ClimateAction #ClimateLeadership

Day 4 of the @UNFCCC #SB64 climate meetings in Bonn marks a critical pivot toward aligning technical frameworks with actionable country commitments. Strategic discussions continue to intensify around the implementation of the global goal on adaptation and securing transparent climate finance pathways. #JuneClimateConference

"Climate finance accountability begins when we stop counting promises and start tracking impact. Every dollar pledged for climate action must be traceable from the boardroom to the communities on the frontlines of climate change." — Olumide Idowu

As negotiations progressed into Day 5 at #SB64, discussions centered on building transparency mechanisms for climate finance and defining indicator baselines for just transitions. The sessions highlighted the increasing demand from non-party stakeholders to close the gap between global pledges and community-level funding. #JuneClimateChangeConference

Dear Sir @TonyOElumelu My heart is heavy as I reflect on the ongoing environmental and social challenges facing communities across the #NigerDelta. For decades, many families have borne the burden of pollution, environmental degradation, loss of livelihoods, and the impacts of climate change, often without receiving the justice, support, and restoration they deserve. The pain and struggles of these communities can no longer be ignored, and their voices must be heard with urgency and compassion. At this critical moment, I urge you to use your new role as the Board Chair and leadership to champion meaningful action for the people of the Niger Delta. Climate justice is not just a call for environmental protection—it is a demand for dignity, accountability, equity, and a sustainable future for communities that have contributed so much to Nigeria's economy. The people of the Niger Delta deserve urgent interventions, long-term investments, and a renewed commitment to restoring both their environment and their hope for a better future. I sincerely appreciate the remarkable work you are doing to empower Nigerian youth and foster entrepreneurship that will contribute significantly to the transformation and growth of Nigeria's economy. #LetsDoMore

The climate crisis has often been described as a race against time, but it is also a race against ignorance. Too many people still lack a clear understanding of the causes of climate change, its real-life consequences, and the practical solutions available to slow its impact. bit.ly/4vEDPS5 via EnviroNews

Every rainy season in Nigeria now arrives with a familiar sense of anxiety. Roads disappear beneath floodwaters, homes are submerged, businesses are disrupted, and lives are displaced. What was once considered a seasonal inconvenience has become a recurring national emergency. bit.ly/4vEj1dv via EnviroNews
