State of Truth in the World Report: Africa.
In this virtual session, we spotlighted the pivotal role played by civil society organizations in spearheading truth-telling initiatives from Guinea and The Gambia to Ethiopia and Sudan. Our distinguished panelists shared how locally-led truth-telling initiatives are crucial for addressing past atrocities and laying the groundwork for sustainable peace and reconciliation. A facilitated, roundtable discussion followed, focusing on strategies and best practices employed by civil society actors to navigate the challenges of truth-telling in fragile contexts, from leveraging technology for documentation and dissemination of testimonies to engaging with local communities in participatory dialogue and reconciliation processes.

Mobilize action for a just and inclusive transition to clean energy.
The International Day of Clean Energy on January 26th is a call to raise awareness and mobilize action for a just and inclusive transition to clean energy for the benefit of people and the planet.
Did you know that:
Coal, oil, and gas (fossil fuels) are responsible for nearly 90% of global carbon dioxide emissions.
Scientists emphasize the need to cut emissions by almost half by 2030 and achieve net-zero by 2050 to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
Fossil fuels still dominate global energy production, but renewable sources of energy, such as wind, solar, hydro, and geothermal, now power about 29% of electricity worldwide.
