At Lincgreen Prospect, we prioritize telling stories. We understand that many people are unaware of the extent of the damage climate change inflicts on communities. We've witnessed it firsthand. In Bayelsa, I met a woman who lost her beloved son to flooding—he drowned right in their house, and there was nothing she could do. The flood is over, but now they must cope with their losses and damages. They need to find seeds to start planting again, uncertain if they or their crops will survive until the next flood. They struggle with illness and inadequate healthcare, living for immediate survival and in fear of tomorrow, often facing this alone. As we engage in global stocktake and review loss and damage finance, we need to tell these stories. We must properly evaluate the level of damage and be honest about our interventions, ensuring they are targeted towards the people and not just symbolic gestures. The pain of these communities, once felt, won't leave you unchanged. And it could get worse. At the #Lookbeyondoil conference, Ingmar Rentzhog mentioned that we need to move the money away from fossil fuel, Parvana Valiyeva also mentioned that we need to prioritize the vulnerable communities in other to attain climate Justice, Dr Renuka Thakore Representing Global Communities spoke about the need for stakeholders to collaborate in other to be wholesome in our quest for Climate Justice. As we advocate, develop models, invent technologies and try to mitigate climate change; we must do this with THE PEOPLE in mind. This would fuel our passion and relentless efforts as we understand that Truly #wedonthavetime ClimaTalk European Environmental Bureau United Nations UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency EU Environment and Climate YOUNGO #heartbeat #lincgreen #lossanddamagefinance #nigerdeltacrises #africanclimatestories
