Thank you @amanpour for having me on your show, indeed the #AfricaClimateSummit was a success with African leaders showing the world that they too have solutions to the climate crisis and are keen to provide this leadership.

The Africa Climate Summit is wrapping up, and UN Special Rep for Sustainable Energy for All @DamilolaSDG7 tells me it was “a great success.” “It’s really important the nations that pollute do pay for it,” she says, and that no countries are left behind in the green transition.

While it's disappointing to postpone 2020 #SEforALLforum , it’s imperative that we, together with our host @RwandaGov , prioritize the health and well-being of everyone involved. We look forward to welcoming all participants to #Kigali on the 16 – 18 February 2021.

As @UN SG @antonioguterres says, we must deliver universal sustainable #EnergyAccess . Yet we remain off track to meet 2030 goals. The High-Level Dialogue on #Energy will help accelerate #SDG7 progress & #ClimateAction Read his #IRENA11A remarks #HLDE2021

Today, 2.9 billion people lack access to #CleanCooking . @SBawumia & @cleancooking @DymphnaVDL highlight why those using open fires or inefficient stoves are extra vulnerable to #Coronavirus . We need clean cooking solutions to #RecoverBetter from #COVID19 :
