2/ This is just the start.
Our pilot projects with @MCSocialVenture in Kenya are already using $RLUSD to create climate-resilient financial solutions for farmers, providing vital drought and rainfall insurance through smart contracts.

Anticipatory action with farmers and pastoralists in Africa has massive potential.
Our pilot using stablecoins + satellite data to protect against drought and climate risks is showing the way.
Excited to build the evidence base with @Ripple

6/ For Africa, Kenya’s push offers big lessons:
1. It shows that a nation with modest emissions can lead.
2. It underscores the need for home-grown solutions, not just externally driven agendas.
3. It could catalyse regional energy trade, knowledge sharing & innovation in Africa.

Key themes will seek to build on the momentum generated at the Africa Climate Week and the Africa Climate Summit earlier in the month, where leaders called for stronger national and regional leadership on #climateaction. bit.ly/46HGEXQ

In #Zimbabwe, a bumper harvest for the Pfachi family is proof of good agricultural practices.
The Africa Fertilizer Financing Mechanism, backed by the @AfDB_Group, is making a difference, guaranteeing timely supply of farm inputs, such as fertilizer to #smallholderfarmers.

The Australian government has adopted the Climate Change Authority’s targets advice and set a national goal to reduce emissions by 62–70% below 2005 levels by 2035. Achieving net zero will make the nation’s economy A$2.2 trillion (US$1.4T) larger by 2050. dcceew.gov.au/about/news/set…

Africa needs US$2.8T between 2020–2030 (~US$280B/yr) to meet climate goals. But in 2021/22, financing was only US$44B — up 48% from the 2019/2020 period, but still far below what’s required. 🧵(1/7)

6/ The opportunity: Africa holds US$2.4T in domestic assets (pension funds, insurance, institutional capital). Unlocking even a fraction for climate could change everything.

7/ Growth is real, but the gap is urgent. Scaling private finance, but most importantly mobilising local capital, and ensuring fair distribution across countries will be critical to Africa’s climate future.
