FEATURE: The polar bear has become recognised as the face of climate change, but experts say pregnant women could also perfectly be emblematic. Rising heat and adverse climate events are raising more hazards for expectant mothers, writes @BabokiKay mmegi.bw/article/111233

ANALYSIS: Least responsible for climate change but most affected by it, Africa went to COP28 in Dubai seeking help to cope with the effects of the crisis. Negotiators returned with little to show writes @BabokiKay who was in the UAE mmegi.bw/article/111082

"This COP saw the loss & damage fund established, it finally named the cause of the climate crisis — fossil fuels — & it committed the world to transition away from them, with action required in this decade. That's more than we get from most COPs.”

As #COP28 ends, we cannot forget vulnerable communities. The research we support fills knowledge gaps to reduce inequalities faced by women and youth, which are made worse by climate change. Learn more: bit.ly/3Pj5dld.
Meanwhile Dubai's well oiled and gased luxury and wealth was finely dressed in glitter and splendor, as always. Who would say goodbye? "Whilst we didn’t turn the page on the fossil fuel era in Dubai, this outcome is the beginning of the end," UN's Simon Stiell said.
Literature has shown that women are disproportionately affected by the harsh effects of climate change @MeshaScience, @IDRC_ESARO
An ongoing gender and climate change vulnerability hotspot mapping study across Botswana’s agriculture, water and tourism sectors has revealed that women and girls are increasingly becoming more vulnerable to climate risks. @BabokiKay writes mmegi.bw/article/110954
Anti- fossil-fuels demonstrations going at Expo City Dubai @COP28_UAE. Meanwhile, it has been a long wait for outcomes due to lack of convergence among the negotiating Parties. @MmegiOnline , @MeshaScience @IDRC_ESARO
African negotiators on the edge as #COP28UAE talks reach D-Day. They are anti-text on Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) and Global Stocktake (GST). @MeshaScience , @IDRC_ESARO
As curtains close on COP28 negotiations today, the Africa Group of Negotiators (AGN) says the continent’s demands for greater support in adaptation to cope with climate change, are being ignored @MeshaScience @BabokiKay @IDRC_ESARO

Chasing the science and text. Beyond the English, my people in Maun where it has been blistering hot for over a month await an outcome that would not perpetuate the heatwave. Thanks to @MeshaScience, @IDRC_ESARO for enabling the first hand experience of climate talks. @MboBW✍️
We’ve been on the ground for just over a week - but in between chasing stories @COP28_UAE we managed to take a group picture. Follow our stories @MeshaScience

As we approach the finish line of #COP28, my main message is clear:
We need an ambitious outcome that demonstrates decisive #ClimateAction and a credible plan to keep the 1.5°C warming limit alive and to protect those on the frontlines of the climate crisis.
ALT Here with the rest of the world to bear witness to what the UAE COP has to offer mother Earth and humanity. The Africa Group of Negotiators (AGN) has reiterated that the yardstick for measuring COP28 President Sultan al-Jaber's success is delivery a robust framework on the Global Goal on Adaptation in Dubai. Meanwhile, its still power plays yet adaptation and adaptation finance are key to shaping a "livable" planet, where development and attainment of the SDGs could be plausible.
I learnt a lot form these amazing women. Climate mobility deserves more time and space in the agenda than we think, and accord it. It requires urgency and agency.
