Flux is excited to share our latest whitepaper - exploring the agronomic impacts of Enhanced Rock Weathering for Smallholder farmers in Kenya. There is a real lack of ERW papers focussed on deployments in Africa - something that we're working hard to address. The encouraging yield increases seen in this trial are an encouraging sign of the potential of ERW here and hopefully serve to stimulate more research in the region, and interest from abroad. Congrats to our amazing science team - a truly collaborative effort - and thanks to all our reviewers from across the sector that contributed their thoughts and comments.

Today at the UN Convention to Combat Desertification COP16 in Riyadh CYNK🌍highlighted a range of innovative strategies to mobilize Private Sector Climate Finance📈 🌱 The session, "Innovative Finance – Accelerating Global Climate Action" was led expertly by moderator✨ Johannes Borchert (One Acre Fund) while the panelists delivered valuable insights and practical strategies to bridge the climate finance gap. Key highlights from the event: ⌛The challenge is real: Global GDP in 2023 topped $100 trillion, yet only 0.224% of that went to development funding. Addressing this disparity is urgent. 📝Expert perspectives: Leaders like Nils Razmilovic (#CYNK), Sam Davies (Flux), Erik Ringvold (Regional Voluntary Carbon Market Company), and Lorenzo Fattibene (EY) shared impactful strategies to scale private sector climate finance. 🌐Solutions-focused: The discussion emphasized the need for effective mechanisms to ensure funding reaches the people and projects driving real change on the ground. 🙏 Thank you to everyone who attended, participated, and contributed to making this event such a success. #COP16 #ClimateAction #SustainableFinance #InnovativeSolutions #UNCCD #PrivateSectorFinance #ClimateResilience #CarbonMarkets #RiyadhCOP16 #GlobalSustainability #FinanceForImpact #ClimateLeadership Radhika Jain, Sarah Toumi, Louise Baker, Liv Angerer, Enni Kallio, Cathrine Mutambirwa, John Mundy, Julie Brown, G Tamber, ChangeNOW, Charlotte Lordet, Clemence Ferry, Oriane Wiser, Antonia Mehnert, Santiago Lefebvre, Marie Suduca, Kevin Tayebaly, Chloé André, Arwa Menari, Nora Gherbi, Garance Aulagne, Rose-May Lucotte, Tanguy MARZIN, Zoé Malaurie, Maëlle Bousquié, Nastassia Romano Leite de Castro, Carolina Meza 🐆, Claire Gaudefroy, Robin Hocquet, Ure Utah.

We are living through a #climatecrisis that is impacting every single one of us, however, #Africa is one of the most affected continents in the world. The International Rescue Committee published a list in March of this year, with ten countries at risk of #climatedisaster, seven of these, are African.  This is an extremely harsh reality that many African women are not being silent about, as they should. Here are only five of the many women, you should know, leading the voices against #climatechange. Thandile Chinyavanhu, Babette Christelle Tchonang, Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim, Awa Traoré

🌀Unlocking Africa's #ClimateFinance Potential💲 🌍 Africa’s green transition is full of untapped potential, but the gap in climate financing poses a significant challenge. With a massive $2.4 trillion required by 2030 to meet Africa’s climate goals, only 12% of that funding has been secured so far. 💡 🌱 However, the path to unlocking capital for green projects is within reach if the right financial instruments and strategies are adopted. 🌍🌿 🔑 Improving macroeconomic conditions is critical to create a stable foundation for investments. 🔑 Portfolio value creation (PVC) by equity investors plays a major role in accelerating the growth of green sectors and securing returns. 🔑 De-risking capital with innovative financial instruments, such as green bonds and loan guarantees, can make financing more available and affordable. 🧭Africa holds immense potential for climate finance, with opportunities in renewable energy, green infrastructure, and sustainable agriculture waiting to be unlocked. 🌱 While macroeconomic volatility has posed challenges, interest in investing in Africa’s climate projects is rapidly growing. 🌱🌍 🟩 Visit CYNK🌍- Africa's #ClimateFintech https://www.cynk.io/ #GreenFinance #SustainableGrowth #ClimateAction #AfricaInnovation #ClimateFinance #EcoInvestment #ImpactInvesting #EmergingMarkets #SustainabilityMatters #RenewableEnergy #CarbonNeutral #InvestInAfrica #SustainableDevelopment Kanyisa Mzilikazi (MMFI), Elisabeth Makumbi, Tshepo Ntsane, Khwezikazi Windvoel, Deo Onyango, Lisa Pearce (Pr.Sci.Nat, MBA-UK), Munya Nyama, Bontle Bopape, Olympus Manthata, Liza Botha (SCR) (PRM), Ryleen Balawanth, Lwandle Mqadi, PhD, Lebohang Raliapeng, Dipak Patel, Christelle Beyers, Lesedi Letlhogonolo Letlhogile, Mutukwa Ben Musole, Jarredine Morris, David Goldsworthy, Neil Cole, Priscilla Jezi, Mandisa Mathobela, Joseph Upile Matola, Ph.D., Baba - Tamana Gqubule, Nozipho Sibiya-Zulu, Alice Moropa, Saphira Surina Patel, Rachael A.O Antwi, CEnv, Brett Reimers (Pr.Sci.Nat), Dorcas Didi Lekganyane, Mahesh Pillay, Karen Stefiszyn, Heinrich van Rooy, CFA, SCR, Paulo Branco, Zama Khanyile CA (SA), Justin Rovian Naidoo , (PhD Candidate), Shakira Akbar, Nosipho Sibuyi, Bernice Robbertse 🇳🇱🇿🇦.
