@NTV kenya#trigger action#Earthwise summit 2024 is a great information sharing on key issues for COP 29 on climate change, practical action required to tackle climate through diplomacy, governance, cooperation , financing adaptation and special needs of Africa.
And these AMCEN decisions are propelling forward movement on development of Africa Clean Air Program as a partnership for regional cooperation and action for impact
🌍 #AMCEN, the regional ministerial forum, is pivotal in promoting air quality and climate action across Africa. With its resolutions supporting continent-wide measures, @UNEP is advancing clean air initiatives in the SADC region, driving impactful changes for a healthier future.
How can we build a future where well-being soars without accelerating material consumption and its impacts?
