A reality check.
#COP26
was meant to keep 1.5ºC alive. The current draft text would deliver a 2.4ºC world. That is a death sentence for communities like mine.
Leaders must not sacrifice those on the frontlines of the climate crisis.
No more talking. Start acting!
Protestors have staged a "walk out" of the
#COP26
blue zone just now - they are calling for more climate justice in the Glasgow agreement currently being drafted
Farmers work day in day out so that the world🌏can feed. They deserve much respect.

the real struggle for justice that farmers in India go through everyday.
Thank you

My name is Elizabeth Wathuti, a Kenyan climate activist.
What keeps me going is knowing that we aren't the last generation, more will come after us and my fight is not just for us but also for generations to come.
Let's unite in securing a livable world NOW for a safe future.🌎
More power to you all ❤👍. This has made you stronger. Wishing you the very best. It's now clear that the system needs a fix! Together in unity we will make the world a better place for humanity.♥️Thank you
@LicypriyaK
for the outstanding leadership. It will never go in vain.🌏
The situation is depressing but please do not harm yourselves. Be strong! Every life counts and you are not alone!

Climate change is not a slow-moving long-term threat and future generations don't deserve to deal with it!
The recent UNFCCC synthesis report raised a red flag that current NDCs are nowhere near what we need for 1.5, or even 2 degrees.

Last year, I asked world leaders to open their hearts before entering COP26 negotiations.
Many have yet to take the climate crisis seriously.
At
#COP27
, leaders must show that they care about people & open their eyes to the realities of climate inaction!
Strong people stand up for themselves, but stronger people stand up for others. We stood in solidarity. Hope this answers questions on 'why most of us were and still are concerned about Neet and Jee despite not being from India.'We care and we all wish we could do more to help.♥️
Deforestation may be seen as a local issue but it has got global consequences!
Africa's forests are under constant threat from human activity!

“We were relying on our animals, but they have now died because of drought,” Saadiye, pastoralist.
If you allow yourself to feel it, the heartbreak- and the injustice -is hard to bear.
Yet current policies are taking the world towards 2.7 °C of warming!
I'm now in Glasgow for
#COP26
! Time to step up action together for our planet.
I have witnessed firsthand impacts of the climate crisis in my homeland, Kenya🇰🇪! It's time to now make change happen!
At COP26 we will be demanding - for - real action on climate. It's now or now.
The fight doesn’t end here because there is still everything to fight for. We are fighting for our lives and a safe future and we know we can win this together. We, the people with the open hearts, will make change happen.✊🏾

"Forget tree planting and focus on tree growing. In tree growing, impact is not determined by planting millions of trees but by the number of trees that get to survive upto maturity. Just as we tender ourselves,trees🌳need the same care to survive. Grow trees," Elizabeth Wathuti.
Imagine if trees🌳gave Wi-Fi, we would all be planting them like crazy and would end deforestation!.. It's a pity they only produce the oxygen we breathe to live😢!

I'm an African! We're hardest hit by climate change yet we contribute the least to this mess!
Lately, floods and landslides killed at least 250👨👩👧👦in EastAfrica! 3Million more needed relief!The figures scare me!
This hasn't triggered global action/attention! which scares me most!
Honored to join forces with other Climate warriors, including my president, H.E. President William Ruto, world leaders/artists at the Global Citizen

in Paris🇫🇷 last night. Our call for urgent climate action took the center stage. 🇰🇪👉🏾🌎
I visited the iconic fig tree in Gitaru. It’s been here for decades, a symbol of life and history. Locals, frustratingly, tell me it will be cut down on Monday. The railway station can be built without destroying this sacred tree. A solution that benefits everyone.

I spoke at
#InvestGreenEU
Summit yesterday. I talked about the 2.1 million people in Kenya facing starvation from climate driven drought. The moderator thanked me for being "a breath of fresh air" before hurrying on to the next speaker. Is anyone really listening?

The climate crisis is undeniable, even to the staunchest deniers!

, Instead of uprooting & exporting Baobabs to Georgia, the value addition of Baobab powder & shared tourism benefits would generate income for local communities protecting these indigenous trees. People & Planet.✊🏾
Here is to all environment/climate activists and nature enthusiasts from all over the world!💚
May we know them by name!May we support them!May we listen to them and act! May we join them! May we be them!
Drop your handles or mention them so we may all connect and follow you.🌎
In 1980s, the Late Prof.Wangari Maathai successfully campaigned to save Uhuru Park from excision & constructions. It serves as lungs to over 4Million residents. There's a planned major road infrastructure set to consume vital sections of Uhuru park in Kenya!

The climate crisis is putting everyone’s present and future at risk. And those who have least contributed are the most exposed. It’s not fair! Raise your voice for climate justice, people and our planet!

Did you know that the fastest River in Africa is found in Central Kenya?
River Gura, located in Kenya, Nyeri County, Tetu, flows from Aberdares ranges. It's recognised by potamologists (people who study rivers) as the fastest flowing river in Africa. This is home💚.

Activism works! We did it! We'll keep doing it for all green spaces!
