I stood at this geothermal site. I saw firsthand its transformative potential. Now St. Kitts and Nevis is one step closer to reshaping its energy future — the region's too. Empowering country leadership. That's what @theGCF finance is all about tinyurl.com/yp5pmxfs

A goal of carbon neutrality. Over a billion new tree saplings planted (and counting). Kazakhstan is serious about climate action. @theGCF is serious about helping deliver it. Grateful to President @TokayevKZ for our forward-looking conversation in Astana. More to do together.

Renewables are gaining ground in Central Asia. Here in Kazakhstan, the right mix of policy and finance is helping clean power scale up. Excellent start to my visit to the region—the first by a @theGCF Executive Director.

Brazil is home to a coalition of leaders driving the next decade of climate action. Thrilled to meet many of them this week. The shared purpose was clear. So is the momentum heading into COP30. We must work together to tackle social, economic, and environmental challenges.

Record climate finance. Major reforms. Momentum on regional presence. All agreed in the Pacific, a region on the frontlines of climate impacts. At this week’s @theGCF Board meeting, the Fund delivered for those who need climate investment most. g.cf/4eHEzyQ

A stark warning. The latest of many. We must keep moving forward with urgency and resolve. We can shift the course of this crisis globally. bbc.com/news/articles/…

The oceans are Earth's greatest climate regulator. But they're under growing stress. However, finance for SDGs—including for oceans and climate—is not flowing as it should. @theGCF has committed $1.3 billion to oceans and coastal resilience. And we're ready to do more. #UNOC3

In every major transition—from the Industrial Revolution to post-war reconstruction—skills made the difference between advancement and exclusion. In today's transforming economy, we’re not moving fast enough to keep pace. From a @giz_gmbh #HSC25 dialogue on green skills & jobs:

When glaciers melt and floods strike, every minute counts. And data is everything. @theGCF is partnering with Tajikistan to modernize hydromet systems and equip decision-makers with the information they need when it matters most.

Finance can help light the spark. But it’s people who turn it into lasting change. In Uzbekistan, like elsewhere, communities are the true drivers of change. Their resilience never ceases to inspire me.

Pleased to meet President @SE_Rajoelina and discuss how @theGCF partnerships — including with @ConservationOrg — can further support Madagascar’s climate goals. Together we're working to protect agricultural livelihoods, scale up clean energy, and build lasting resilience.
