The Africa CSO G20 Climate, Energy & Sustainable Finance Network (ACG20) says the second Global Tipping Points Report has confirmed that the world has already breached its first major climate tipping point, the widespread mortality of warm-water coral reefs. 

The network highlights the urgent need for transformative climate justice and stronger financial commitments from the world’s wealthiest nations, particularly the G20. ACG20 has called for immediate action to accelerate a people-centred Just Energy Transition (JET) and urged G20 member countries to ensure these transitions are equitable and non-exploitative.

Thami Ngubeni and Ashraf Garda spoke to Kuda Manjonjo, a Just Transition Advisor at Powershift Africa, one of the organisations within the ACG20 Network.

As the Group of Twenty (G20) countries continue to seek solutions to migration challenges linked to legal pathways, displaced populations, and ageing workforces in many member states, new digital visa systems, employment policies for foreign nationals, and enhanced border security measures are being rolled out. Against this backdrop, ensuring that the voices of those most affected are heard has never been more important.

The Alkebulan Immigrants Impact Awards (AIA) is set to host the Immigration-20 (I-20) Summit on 9–10 October 2025, amplifying the perspectives of immigrants and refugees in global policy dialogues. The AIA argues that immigration should be positioned as a catalyst for economic growth, social cohesion, and sustainable development within the G20 framework.

Thami Ngubeni and Ashraf Gardas spoke to Tebo Gordon Nwanjang, Chief Operating Officer and Co-Owner of the Alkebulan Immigrants Impact Awards.
