For thirty years, the world has gathered arguing, negotiating, hoping to find a way out of the climate crisis.
And for ten years since the Paris Agreement, we have stood before each other and promised to keep the world below dangerous warming.
Yet as we meet here today, the storm seasons grow longer, the droughts more unforgiving, and the hopes of millions grow more fragile.
And I think of the people behind those numbers because they are not statistics to me.
They are faces. Families. Stories.
I think of the fisherman who once knew every current of his sea, now staring into waters he no longer recognizes.
I think of the farmers who wake each morning to a sun that feels less like life and more like a warning.
I think of us the young people trying to dream of a future that feels like it is slipping further from our grasp.
We know the truth.
We have known it for years: there is no safe future without a full phase-out of fossil fuels.
Not “phasing down.”
Not halfway measures.
But phasing out completely.
Every year of delay pushes communities closer to the edge. Every year we choose convenience over courage, more homes are washed away, more crops fail, more young people lose faith that the world is listening.
Continuing fossil fuel production does not simply warm the planet it fuels the storms that flood our homes, the droughts that steal our harvests, the wildfires that swallow our land, and the rising seas that erase our histories.
And these impacts do not fall equally. They fall hardest on the communities who did the least to cause this crisis,on families in the global South whose lives, livelihoods, and cultures are being torn apart by a disaster they did not create.
For decades, some countries have grown rich from oil and gas profits measured in dollars, while the costs have been paid in lost lives, uprooted families, broken ecosystems, and stolen futures.
So today, we speak plainly about what justice demands:
Those who have contributed the most to this crisis owe a massive climate debt to the global South.

Communities on the frontlines of the climate crisis are losing homes, histories, and futures not in 2050, but today.
Loss & Damage isn’t an abstract finance mechanism. It’s the difference between rebuilding or being left behind. Between dignity or despair.
At , world leaders must move beyond promises and fully fund the Loss & Damage mechanism. Climate impacts are accelerating the finance must, too.
Justice delayed is justice denied. Fill the fund now.

Adaptation finance should mean hope.
But right now, too many communities are left on their own with no tools to recover or prepare.
Today at COP30, we demanded more than words, we demand to triple adaptation finance.
Because our people deserve a future that is livable, secure, and just.

Africa cannot afford to build its future on fossil-funded banks. The African Energy Bank, financed by oil and gas interests, is not the answer.
If we are serious about a just transition, then public finance must lead the way financing renewable energy, community resilience, and technological transfer. Private finance will always chase profit, but public finance should chase justice.
This is about more than numbers it’s about people, lives, and futures.

This week, we’re raising our voices loud and clear to say: enough is enough.
TotalEnergies’ projects are destroying lives, displacing communities, and fueling the climate crisis in Africa.
We won’t stand by.
We fight for our future.
We fight for our planet.
Join us in the streets. Let’s shut down fossil fuel expansion together.

You make a mess, you clean it up. That’s only fair.
So why are Big Polluters walking away while we deal with the fallout?
They’ve driven climate chaos — now it’s time they cover the cost.
We need a Polluters Pay Pact. No more handouts. No more loopholes.

Today is not just my birthday 🎂 it’s a marking of becoming. This year, I don’t just feel older, I feel awakened. I pray to walk hand in hand with every season meant for me, not rushing, not delaying, but present for the unfolding of my purpose. May God grant me the eyes to see, the heart to understand, and the strength to endure what builds me. Every scar, every lesson, every silent battle has been shaping a woman of depth, of grace, of resilience. This year, I choose not just to grow, but to become.

With deep sorrow, I mourn the passing of a faithful servant of God one who called the Church in Gaza City every day, even through illness, during the dark hours of suffering and loss.
In his final public appearance on Easter Sunday, he used his breath not for comfort, but for courage calling upon the world for a ceasefire, for peace, for mercy. His voice rose above the silence of violence, and in it, we heard Christ’s own plea: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.”
To live and die in the service of the most vulnerable is a true imitation of Christ. His witness will not be forgotten. May the Lord welcome him into the eternal light, where there is no more pain, no more tears only the peace he so tirelessly sought for others.
Rest in peace, beloved child of God.
You have fought the good fight. You have finished the race. You have kept the faith.
✝️❤️

I come from Uganda, where communities are already feeling the weight of the climate crisis. At the Renew Our Power Gathering, I stand with others on the frontlines to say: our voices matter, our stories matter, and our power is real. We are not waiting for justice we are creating it.
