COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, from November 11 to 22, 2024, focuses on climate finance to drive ambitious climate action. The main goal is to establish a new global objective for funding climate efforts in developing countries. This includes operationalizing the Loss and Damage Fund and clarifying carbon market mechanisms to keep climate ambitions aligned with the stakes, thanks to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, equitable transitions to clean energy, and adaptation measures to mitigate the risk of losses and damages. Achieving this can only happen through the involvement of all actors, from governments to their populations.

Hailed as one of the most mega-biodiverse nations in East Africa, Kenya is home to over 6,500 plant species along with over 1,000 birds and about 350 mammals. Despite its rich biodiversity, many of Kenya’s iconic species are threatened with extinction due to habitat loss and fragmentation. On the occasion of the International Endangered Species Day, we are spotlighting the project “Connectivity North” co-funded by the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM) and the French Development Agency (AFD) to support community conservation activities in northern Kenya.
