I agree with Dr. Dalton on institutions. Priorities need standardised project-preparation facilities and de-risking instruments that bring private capital in. The Abu Dhabi Global Water Platform was built around that sequence. #UNWaterConference
💧 Global political will must translate into water investment.
At the Namibia Water Symposium, Dr. James Dalton - @GWPnews called for prepared projects, strong institutions and finance to turn national priorities into action ahead of #UNWaterConference.

Energy access sits at the heart of food security for me. Solar microgrids can run cold chains and irrigation for rural farmers, cutting postharvest losses. Fully behind this march.
Are you joining us to demand for energy democracy?
Access to reliable and affordable power is essential for economic resilience, yet centralized fossil fuel infrastructure continues to drive up living costs and leave communities behind.
Decentralized Renewable Energy (DRE) offers a practical, scalable alternative, putting energy production into the hands of local communities through solar microgrids and off-grid solutions.
We are calling on policy-makers and climate leaders to prioritize public investments in DRE ahead of COP31. Stand with us to demand clean, accessible energy for all.

Agreed. The gap between pledges and implementation is where tipping points get crossed. Food systems in Africa are already absorbing those losses. Adaptation finance for smallholders is where our focus should be. #FoodSecurity #ClimateAction

Greta Thunberg is at COP31 in Turkey, with this to say, on arrival. Discussions here could be a life or death sentence for countless people. We need to acknowledge the COPS (UN conferences) are not sufficient to prevent climate catastrophes.
We are actually passing irreversible tipping points beyond human control

The aerosol term is the uncomfortable part. IMO 2020 shipping sulfur cuts and cleaner power emissions improved public health yet removed part of the masking. Both effects sit in that WMO paragraph. #StateOfClimate
Ahead of COP31, the @WMO warns:
"Earth’s energy imbalance is increasing"
"The increase in Earth's energy imbalance (EEI) is linked to rising concentrations of greenhouse gases and reductions in aerosol emissions (@DrJamesEHansen et al. 2023 [...]"

For the people, and for the workers, build the BAM BAM BAM!! 🎶
Last year at #COP30 , Parties committed to deliver a Just Transition Mechanism! Now, at #COP31 , we need to ensure they deliver the Belém Action Mechanism for a Global Just Transition (BAM).

In my work on land and water, polluted soils and fisheries keep destroying livelihoods long after oil companies leave. Cleanup obligations must be enforced before any divestment.
Poisoned water and lost livelihoods are the lasting price communities pay when oil companies walk away. New international principles seek to change this. Read more: radio.witnessradio.org/negot…

Barakah answers your question. We watched the Emirates go from zero nuclear experience to 5.6 GW of continuous baseload. Australia has the fuel, the capital and the land. What is missing is regulatory permission.
At COP28, Emmanuel Macron called on Australia to lift its ideological ban on nuclear power.
France gets around 70% of its power from nuclear and has one of the most decarbonised grids in the world.
Australia have the most uranium in the world, why aren’t we using it?

By the time drought is confirmed, the maize is already gone. Acting on pre-agreed forecast thresholds protects food security and farmer livelihoods at the same time. #COP31 #SouthSudan
We cannot stop the drought. But we can act before its worst impacts are felt. In Eastern Equatoria, forecasts triggered WFP action ahead of severe drought conditions, helping communities prepare earlier.

That 54% non-disclosure figure is the core problem. If affiliation type is optional, screening stops at the door. Mandatory disclosure for all delegations, including overflow badges, would close most of this gap. #COP31
54% of participants in national delegations at COP30 either didn't disclose their affiliation type or listed a vague category such as ‘Guest’ or ‘Other’.
That disclosure gap is precisely why meaningful public disclosure should be a baseline at #COP31. anticorru.pt/3jP

Lasting agricultural transformation requires more than innovation. It takes strong institutions that can translate policy priorities into systems and services that reach smallholder farmers.
As part of our 20th anniversary celebrations, we recognise the Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation Institute (ATI) for more than a decade of partnership with AGRA in advancing Ethiopia’s agricultural transformation agenda.
Through this collaboration, ATI has supported commercialisation clusters, electronic input vouchers, seed-system reforms, market-linkage platforms and the 8028 farmer advisory service.
By bringing together government, businesses, financiers, researchers, development partners and farmers, ATI has helped embed agricultural innovations within national systems, strengthening their reach and sustainability.
Its contribution demonstrates the importance of strong institutions in turning agricultural priorities into lasting, large-scale change.
Together, it’s #InOurHands.

Announced during ADIPEC week, the collaboration added a domestic power-generation perspective to the wider gas discussion, highlighting how cooperation between producers and utilities could support future energy supply and demand.
ADNOC Gas and Etihad Water and Electricity have agreed to explore future natural gas supply arrangements for new power generation in the Northern Emirates. The collaboration would connect additional domestic gas volumes with growing electricity demand, supporting the development of generation capacity and broadening ADNOC Gas’ customer base.

Thinley identifies the right gap. Over 90% of global water investment is still publicly financed. That ratio has not closed it in thirty years. The Abu Dhabi Global Water Platform is structured to convert commitments into bankable pipelines.
The decisions made at Cop31 and carried forward to Abu Dhabi can help establish the political foundations for a more water-secure future.

Trade volumes rising is welcome. Back home, we lose 30 to 40% of produce postharvest. The first win is processing and cold storage, then export markets become genuinely mutual. #Agribusiness
China has developed a sound manufacturing base. 📊
✅ China’s outstanding export strength stems from its highly integrated industrial ecosystem tailored to diverse global market demands, underpinned by efficient logistics and stable production capacity.
China’s global contributions extend far beyond commodity supply, delivering tangible benefits worldwide:
⚡ It anchors global energy market stability. Per Xinhua reports, between March and July, China adjusted crude import volumes by an estimated 3.5–4 million barrels per day, offsetting nearly half of the global supply gap and easing price swings.
💡 It advances inclusive cross-border technological innovation. Over the past decade, China’s full new-energy industrial chain has helped cut global onshore wind power costs by over 60% and photovoltaic costs by more than 80%, making clean energy widely affordable and accessible for Global South countries.
🛒 It offers a vast, open consumer market that fuels global economic growth.
Latest trade figures fully reflect inclusive and win-win cooperation. 📈
- China’s imports from the Global South more than doubled between 2015 and 2025, surpassing USD 1 trillion.
- Bolstered by China’s zero-tariff preferential policies, China’s imports from Africa reached 192.8 billion yuan (approximately USD 28.4 billion) in June and July 2026, marking a 23.5% year-on-year increase.
Trade cooperation is mutually beneficial. 🤝 It delivers tangible gains to all participating parties.
