I’m taking part in the COP31 Leaders’ Summit in Antalya, where the theme is “Towards a Sustainable, Resilient and Equitable Future.” For me, that means protecting the development gains African countries are making as we expand access to energy and water, create jobs and build infrastructure that can withstand a changing climate.
Equity also means getting the terms of climate finance right. A renewable power project can earn revenue. An early warning system saves lives and often needs sustained public funding.
Both are worth investing in, and each needs financing that fits its purpose and that countries can afford.

Less than 1% of global climate finance reached smallholder farmers in 2025.
Yesterday at #COP31 in Antalya, we took a step to change that. AUDA-NEPAD signed an MoU with the Voluntary Carbon Markets Integrity Initiative (VCMI) to establish the Platform for Agricultural Carbon in Africa.
The timing matters. Demand for agricultural carbon credits has more than tripled, from about 1 million in 2021 to 3.2 million so far this year. The market is moving. The question is whether African farmers move with it or watch from the sidelines.
Our approach rests on three commitments:
1️⃣ Farmers and their organisations help write the rules from day one
2️⃣ Every credit reflects a real, verified climate benefit
3️⃣ The farmers doing the work get a fair share of the proceeds
Carbon markets can open a new path to finance for Africa's farmers, but only if they are built with them, not around them.

Africa emits under 3% globally yet faces climate shocks. Polluters owe debt-free reparations, not loans!

Nine minutes. That was all a headmaster in Nepal had to move 900 children to safety before a devastating flood struck their school.
His actions show the true power of preparedness. Early warnings are vital, but it is early action that makes them work.
My message from #COP31 High-Level Event on Early Warnings for All: we must enable every person and every community not only to receive a warning, but to act on it.

Waste isn’t usually headline material at a climate summit. At COP31, it is, along with the methane it produces.
Methane traps 86 times more heat than CO₂ over 20 years, and most of it comes from how we farm and what we throw away. Today’s announcements from the Global Climate Action Agenda show what tackling this challenge looks like on the ground:
🏙️ The first 20 Zero Waste Districts, from Indonesia to Ghana to Türkiye, will spend a year running compost sites, repair workshops and shared washing facilities, while measuring results.
🥗 Through LOW-M, 35 organizations are helping 20 cities from Accra to Mexico City cut methane from food and organic waste.
♻️ Fair Ton’s 1x100 campaign aims to reach 100,000 waste pickers and recover one million tonnes of waste in 400 days, making them a formal part of the circular economy.
🐄 Danone has cut methane from its fresh milk by 29.8%, four years ahead of its 2030 target. On its Brazilian supplier farms, methane per litre fell 42% while net margins per cow rose 50%.

Weather extremes, conflict and economic pressures are pushing more people into hunger and putting livelihoods at risk.
At #COP31, four priorities should be at the heart of climate action:
➡️ Scale up pre-arranged finance
➡️ Make climate finance more accessible to vulnerable countries
➡️ Invest in proven, country-led solutions
➡️ Support the new Disaster Risk Financing Platform’s goal

It is great to be back!
This week, we, the Azerbaijani team, are joining COP31 in Türkiye to continue the work and build on the momentum created in Baku.
I look forward to reconnecting with colleagues and partners from the global community, exchanging updates and ideas, and continuing our work together.
COP is more than a climate conference. It is a platform for international cooperation, dialogue and peace.
Wishing everyone a productive and successful #COP31!
