As Tanzania gears up for the upcoming negotiations in Belém, Brazil, this November, CAN Tanzania is actively collaborating with the Tanzania Media Foundation and the Oxford Policy Management Institute to empower local media professionals in shaping the national narrative on climate change.

Today marks the third day of the first "Work-Learn Ideation Session" in Morogoro, where journalists from across the country have come together to brainstorm, ideate, and co-create powerful narratives that bridge global climate negotiations with local experiences and context.

The insights and creativity generated during this session will be pivotal in informing, inspiring, and facilitating climate conversations before, during, and after COP30.

As Tanzania hosts the International Conference on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Climate Action, .tanzania is proudly represented by our Operations Manager, Mr. Boniventure Mchomvu, and IT & Communications Officer, Ms. Loveness Nkya.

This two-day session, organized by the UNFCCC Technology Executive Committee, and the United Republic of Tanzania, brings together global and local experts to explore how AI-powered solutions can strengthen climate resilience, bridge data gaps, and accelerate sustainable development.

This was a great opportunity for CAN Tanzania to network with local innovators and to brainstorm on how AI can be used to address climate impacts on the local communities who are the most vulnerable.

Last week, CAN Tanzania successfully hosted project exit meetings in Kigurusimba and Msaraza villages in Pangani District to conclude the PRO-NDC-ACT project.

These sessions offered a valuable opportunity for reflection and discussion among community leaders and members. We celebrated the project's successes and addressed the challenges we faced along the way, while also exploring our joint sustainability plans.

During these meetings, we took time to analyse our collective journey and recognise the positive behavioural changes that helped local communities effectively implement Nature-based Solutions (NbS) to enhance their resilience to climate change.

As part of our commitment to knowledge transfer, we distributed a practical guide on nursery establishment and management, establishing a clear framework for roles and responsibilities following the project.
The meetings fostered collaboration, bringing together representatives from the Pangani District Council, village leaders, and the Tanzania Forest Services Agency (TFS).

Community members expressed their dedication to continuing the reforestation efforts initiated by the project, leveraging the sustainable practices and knowledge they have acquired over the past three years. The district, alongside ward and village officers, promised to play a crucial role in overseeing and coordinating these ongoing activities, ensuring a lasting positive impact on the community.

Saying goodbye is never easy, especially when it’s to people who’ve become part of our family.

Last week, we bid farewell to two climate volunteers (Ms. Helen Herbst and Ms. Melanie Weis .weis_ ) from Eine Welt Netz NRW organization , who have been a part of CAN Tanzania’s team since August 2024.

Their commitment and dedication in the field and policy work have shown what it truly means to volunteer with purpose and make a difference for the vulnerable communities.

Dear Melanie and Helen, you’ve left a mark not just on our team, but on the communities you’ve touched. And though your chapter with us is coming to a close, your impact will continue to grow in every seed planted, in every idea shared, in every goal moved forward.

Asante sana for working with us. Your CAN Tanzania family is incredibly grateful and proud of everything you’ve contributed.

Wishing you all the best in your next adventures! You are always welcome back to Tanzania.

Climate change affects each individual differently based on their gender. This disproportion calls for more inclusivity in our response efforts. This is why .tanzania is at the forefront of advocating for integrating gender and sexual reproductive health in climate policies and frameworks.

Today, our Executive Director, Dr. Sixbert Mwanga, will participate in a roundtable discussion aimed at showcasing how integrating gender and SRH into climate policies can foster more equitable and resilient communities.
