Netherlands Pledges $500 Million to Protect Tropical Forests at COP31

The Netherlands has pledged up to US$500 million towards the Tropical Forest Forever Facility (TFFF) at the COP31 climate conference in Antalya, Türkiye, marking a major step towards protecting tropical forests and supporting communities dependent on them.

The announcement brings total financial commitments to the TFFF to US$7.8 billion, falling short of its initial US$10 billion target. The facility aims to generate investment returns to reward tropical countries for protecting their forests.

At least 20 per cent of the fund's payments are earmarked for Indigenous peoples and local communities. It also excludes investments causing significant environmental damage, including activities related to coal, oil and gas.

Human Rights Watch welcomed the development, highlighting the importance of recognising Indigenous land rights and protecting environmental defenders. The facility plans to begin its first payments to tropical forest countries next year.

Nigeria to Invest ₦100 Million Reward for Each Flamingos Player in Government Bonds

The Nigerian government plans to invest the ₦100 million reward announced for each member of the Flamingos, following their victory in the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.

National Sports Commission Chairman Shehu Dikko announced the plan after a presidential reception for the team in Abuja. He said the money would be invested in five-year Federal Government savings bonds carrying an estimated annual interest rate of 12 to 14 per cent.

According to Dikko, each player could earn approximately ₦1.1 million in monthly interest while retaining the principal amount. The investment aims to support the players' education, training and personal development while securing their financial futures.

Dikko described President Bola Tinubu's reward initiative as an unprecedented move to recognise young sporting talent. He added that the players would reach adulthood by the time the bonds mature.

He also said Premium Trust Bank and MTN, sponsors of the Nigeria Football Federation, were planning additional receptions for the champions. The National Assembly is also preparing to honour the squad for its World Cup achievement.

US Senator Ted Cruz Questions State Department Over Somaliland Policy

US Senator Ted Cruz has urged the Trump administration to formally recognise Somaliland as an independent nation, questioning the State Department’s reluctance to act despite President Donald Trump’s remarks describing it as a country distinct from Somalia.

During a Senate Foreign Relations Committee confirmation hearing on November 10, Cruz questioned Devin Kennington, Trump’s nominee for US Ambassador to Somalia, about why the State Department had not moved towards recognition.

Cruz highlighted Somaliland’s self-governance since 1991, democratic elections, peaceful transfers of power and strategic partnerships with the United States. He also pointed to its close ties with Taiwan and Israel’s formal recognition in December 2025.

Referring to Trump’s statement that Somaliland is a “totally different country”, Cruz said the United States should formally recognise its sovereignty. He also indicated that Kennington’s confirmation depended on the State Department following the President’s position.

Somaliland declared independence from Somalia in 1991 but has historically lacked broad international recognition. Israel remains the only UN member state to have formally recognised it, according to the report.
