To build climate resilience, we must first understand climate finance. Who funds it? Who accesses it? Who benefits?
Businesses & investments must be part of the answer — across every sector, not just one.
Resilience is not a project. It is an economy. @giftklima #ClimateFinance
Effective climate action depends on whose voices are heard, how decisions & resources are managed, & whether institutions deliver. Technology, infrastructure & finance matter, but so do public trust, rights & accountability. ¬ Gift Richard Maloya, Director @ClimateactionMW

Climate mobility considerations shld be mainstreamed in NAPs. Climate mobility requires financing, capacity strengthening, systems and research. Read our report here: napglobalnetwork.org/wp-cont…
Africa needs to put climate mobility at the center of planning. That =
1. National budget that fund early relocation, social protection, and skills training before people are forced to move. 2. City plansthat include housing, water, and transport for climate-affected populations

Honored to speak at the @Mixed_Migration High-Level Policy Dialogue in Addis on Mobility, Environment & Climate Change.
Climate-induced displacement is complex, but joint coordination is how we respond better. Grateful for the space to share.

Malawi can’t keep treating migration as a crisis to block. With climate shocks + economic pressure rising, movement will continue. > What we need is protection: safe pathways, rights abroad, & skills training at home.
> Policy should meet reality, not ignore it. #Migration
