Last week, our Southeast Advocate, Zach Amittay spoke to Georgia Public Broadcasting's Sarah Kallis about the state's clean energy job growth. Spoiler alert: it's MUCH bigger than the overall state economy.

With all eyes on the big COP30 agenda items, WIM review talks have stalled.

Negotiators and civil society observers say it has come down to Kenya blocking the decision.

This goes back to Kenya wanting to host the Santiago Network secretariat in Nairobi. It says current host Geneva is too expensive

In a media huddle earlier at COP30, Latam ministers emphasised the urgent need to adopt the indicators as part of the global goal on adaptation in Belem.

Edgardo Ortuño Silva (Uruguay) said: "We will not accept less in our conference than the adoption of action indicators and implementation means."

The world is watching Belém for a clear sign that governments are rising to the urgency of the climate crisis and are determined to do better, together.
