Soli has a lot of sensible things to say. We'd do well to listen.
👥 Last week, we hosted a fantastic conversation between @GreenSolitaire and @Bankfieldbecky.
📗 @GreenSolitaire spoke about her new book, 'The solutionists', which explores how future business leaders can create a sustainable society.

Economic setbacks cause a fall in China's carbon emissions. What they do next could lock this in and set a global example. Will that happen?
Analysis: China’s CO2 emissions fall by record 8% in second quarter of 2022 carbonbrief.org/analysis-chi…
Excited to be in Bonn for climate discussions. My key issue is how we use climate finance to keep 1.5 degrees feasible.

Shocking number of deaths from Covid in the US and across the world. Pls help yourself, family and humanity by getting vaccinated three times. Understanding reservations, there is clearly a lot more to fear from the virus than from the vaccine.
US Covid deaths pass 800,000, more recorded than any other country, amid concerns about the spread of Omicron as winter looms bbc.in/3GPKWhr

Loved how Okonjo-Iweala set out the crucial role of trade in climate change adaptation.

Great show of African leadership.
Despite emitting <0.02% of total global emissions, 🇲🇿 has just announced at #CoP26 it will increase its ambition significantly. It will reduce to 1.2tCO2e per capita, a quarter of the global average emissions required for 1.5°C. Parabéns Moçambique!

And climate adaptation has massive economic potential: "Digital connectivity gives access to real-time agricultural advice, information on market prices and weather forecasts; it is the gateway to digital bank accounts, loans and crop insurance..."

Listen to Otee West on Spotify, Amazon Music etc! My young nephew is impressively breaking out from nowhere into the Nigeria Afrobeat scene. My favourite is his most recent called Real Life, which shows his talent shining and growing. Thanks in advance for your support!
