CLIMATE CHANGE+IMPACT ON HUMAN LIFE: "Sizable and sustained support from international development partners—both concessional financing and capacity development—is urgent to avoid worsening hunger and conflict that can fuel forced displacement and migration." What is the end result? -> At the southern US border for example, over 10,000 migrants trying to cross the frontier and a similar scenario in Europe southern borders with Spain facing thousands of migrants from Africa fleeing poverty (exacerbated by climate change). At the end of the day, the Western world has to realize we only have one world and decisions taken decades and centuries ago in the West are coming back to haunt all of us today. What are we going to do? https://lnkd.in/eBGBP7kK

🌍🇺🇬 In the face of climate change, stories of adaptation and resilience remind us of the strength found in communities across Africa. In this "Voices from the Frontlines" video, we explore life in Uganda's borderland areas, where climate challenges meet human resilience. The video takes you on a journey with Tony Ezikia through Arua, a city offering refuge to people on the move in response to climate impacts or as a result of war. Together, we can create enabling conditions for the safe settlement and inclusion of newcomers. To achieve this, we should support community transition through support for livelihood diversification and the adoption of green and climate-resilient practices, including accompanying initiatives focused on skills development and access to finance. 💡 Watch the video here: https://lnkd.in/dZ5eDsXC #ClimateMobility | #ClimateAdaptation | #AdaptationJourneys | #ClimateAction

Africa is beautiful; We just need to protect it. Someone said, "We are not Rulers of this world, we are GUARDIANS!" This weekend I spent some time capturing and appreciating the serene environment that mother nature has offered us. Thinking about this beauty and the threatening effects of #climatechange, I believe we need to do all it takes to protect it. We must guard it with passion and ensure that the future generations have the opportunity to enjoy as well. #africa #climatechange #sustainablefuture #CorpsAfricaGreen #greenfuture #environmentalsustainability CorpsAfrica The Okra Network CDS Kenya Future Leaders Climate Initiative at The Aspen Institute Climate Resilient Africa Fund Climate Action Platform for Africa (CAP-A)

🌏 Join USAID Climate Adaptation Support Activity (CASA) and USAID Zambia and Kenya on Tuesday, August 27 for “Locally Led Adaptation: Learnings and Best Practices at USAID.” ✔️ Register here for the virtual event: https://hubs.la/Q02Ll5qG0 Despite living at the forefront of climate change and its impacts, local people often can’t access the resources needed to effectively implement needed solutions. USAID and its partners are working to advance locally led adaptation, in line with the Climate Strategy 2022-2030. This work involves:  🔹 USAID Climate Adaptation Support Activity (CASA)-developed guidance and tools to implement LLA, including a Primer and Guidance Note 🔹 USAID Kuza in Kenya working to create economic opportunities and build country-level capacity for resilience 🔹 USAID/Zambia implementing Local Climate Action Innovation Program Statement (APS) to engage local actors in adaptation #ClimateLinks #CASA #climate #ClimateChange #events #VirtualEvents #USAID 

During the VCA Zambia in-person meeting from July 15th to 18th, 2024, we were tasked with presenting the progress of our VCA project. To make it engaging, we were asked to give our project a title, as if it were a book or movie. We chose “At the Frontline of the Climate Crisis.” This title perfectly aligns with our focus on locally led adaptation and solutions. Much like a war, the impacts of climate change—hunger, conflict, water scarcity, and migration—are severe. Communities at the frontline of the climate crisis are already demonstrating their ability to adapt using their knowledge and resilience. #climatechange #crisis #Hunger
