World over, every day, nature and our Planet Earth is speaking and crying out to us. It is seeking our attention and intervention to the pressure meted on it. All we are witnessing from climate change, human wildlife conflicts, human land conflicts, droughts, hunger, mental health challenges, political conflicts, to radicalisation of young people are but communication from nature. In as much as there are efforts to address the challenges emanating from the pressure on the Planet, we need to tackle the real problem. The problem is our software as habitats. We must endeavour to begin changing behaviour to embracing sustainable attitudes and behaviour change towards the Planet. Through Change for Planet Foundation, by our rallying call "Planet, People, Peace for Progress", we are calling on the World to change for Planet Earth through our programme areas: 1. Climate Change , Mitigation, and Sustainable Agriculture. 2. Youth and Women Development/Livelihoods. 3. Good Governance, Peace and Coexistence. We look forward to partnering with you for a better Planet for us and the future. #Change4Planet Email: [email protected] www.change4-planet.org AGRA UNDP KENYA ActionAid CABI Wanjira Mathai African Development Bank Group The Consortium of African Youth in Agriculture and Climate Change (CAYACC) DAI World Economic Forum Ford Foundation .

🌍 Urgent Call to Action: Climate Crisis in Zambia There has never been a more critical moment when youth innovations and action were needed than right now. The climate crisis is hitting home hard, affecting every Zambian, every single day. 🚨 Zambia faced the worst droughts in modern history. Our agriculture and energy sectors are struggling. Every day Zambian, small business owners and farmers are feeling the impact. The challenges are immense, but so is our potential to overcome them. 🧠 Now is the time for us, the youth, to come together and create sustainable solutions. We are the ones best equipped to understand and tackle the socio-ecological issues we face. Join Us at the Youth SDG Summit! One of the key topics we’ll be addressing this year is the climate crisis. This is our chance to co-create solutions and make a real difference.

“DO IT TODAY “ If Mother nature could speak, Would she thank us, praise us or ridicule us? Would her voice be weary or gentle? Would she shake with delight sorrow? That’s what I used to wonder After all the damage we have made to mother natural Heatwave, storms and flooding rains Mother natural trembling  with grief You have made her bear and barren Look at what was once beautiful home being washed away Crops craving for rains Yet the ground is craving for fresh The health impacts are more than clear Diseases rife that once were rare, As days warm up and rivers dry, Water is hard to find like Gold  As the Climate has changed  Causing her pain Mother natural still cries as she longs for the beautiful days when kids played with beautiful grass The days Farmers harvested bumper yield But look what you have done now, ripping her naked Forcing her to abort her premature seedlings Africa least contributor but most affected Vulnerability that is hastening poverty and food insecurity While developed nations are investing in advanced technologies to adapt Economic factors in Africa is challenging adaption efforts adaptation is key for Africa  Given its vulnerability to climate change impacts.  Adaptation Can reduce the risks posed to livelihoods, infrastructure, and ecosystems. We call for developed countries to double adaptation finance A Clear roadmap to ensure resources are committed, delivered, tracked and are accessible to developing countries the New Collective Quantified Goal should also address adaptation efforts For climate change is here to stay, With impacts that won’t go away, It’s time to act, do it today Climate Vulnerable Forum (CVF) & Vulnerable Twenty Group (V20) COP29 Azerbaijan Nairobi Summer School on Climate Justice By Mwayiwawo Chitsamba

🌍 Empowering Future Leaders in Climate Change Adaptation 🌱 Recently I had the opportunity to facilitate a training session on climate change adaptation for an inspiring group of young leaders! 🌿✨ During the training, we explored the significant challenges of climate change including #sedimentation #drainage #waterlogging #salinity #climatemigration #WASH and discussed #naturebased and #indigenous adaptation strategies. It was truly inspiring to see the passion, creativity, and determination of these young minds in action. Highlights from the training: 🔹 Comprehensive sessions on the science of climate change and its impacts for the #southwest coastal region of Bangladesh. 🔹 Interactive workshops on sustainable practices and nature based solution. 🔹 Idea developed for group projects where participants crafted #actionable adaptation strategies for their local communities. 🔹 Motivational sessions with renowned climate experts and activists. I am incredibly encouraged by the commitment and #enthusiasm demonstrated by all the participants. They not only understand the urgency of the climate crisis but are also ready to take meaningful action within their communities. 🌍💪 A big thank you to #Uttaran for organizing this impactful training and to all the participants for their active engagement and contributions. Together, we can build a more resilient and sustainable future. #ClimateChange #ClimateAdaptation #YouthEmpowerment #Sustainability #GreenFuture #EnvironmentalLeadership

🌍 Communities around the world are feeling the heat of #ClimateChange. Global problems demand global solutions, and in our interconnected world, this calls for increased collaboration and investment. 🌵 The Climate Adaptation Innovation Accelerator Programme's call for applications was launched in July as part of the Adaptation Fund Climate Innovation Accelerator (AFCIA) partnership. This year WFP Innovation Accelerator along with World Food Programme in Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt worked together to source regional and local climate innovations in the region. Whether you're part of an organization developing a climate adaptation programme or a human-centered design expert, we've gathered six key insights from our journey so far that could help guide your programme design efforts. Together we can save and change lives! Click the link in the comments to read these insights ⤵️ #ClimateAction #Innovation #Sustainability #Collaboration #AdaptationFund

We face a host of global #challenges; frequent occurrence of #NaturalDisasters caused by #ClimateChange and #BiodiversityLoss; Violence and conflicts; Discrimination and Inequality; #FoodInsecurity, lack of water and housing—#SustainableDevelopment remains an uphill journey. Difficult moments call for stronger confidence. I believe that #mankind has the #wisdom and #capability to find a way out of difficulty.

As communities work to plan how to build their resilience, they specifically identify the hazards, shocks and stressors that they typically face. I’m excited to share that I completed the 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐀𝐝𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 (𝐂𝐀𝐀𝐏) 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠. This experience provided me with essential tools and strategies to support communities in analyzing the impacts of climate change, developing actionable adaptation plans, and envisioning sustainable futures. Through participatory approaches and inclusive feedback processes, I’m now better equipped to contribute to building climate resilience at the community level.
