“If we are to continue to exist, we will require more than intelligence. We will require wisdom” David Attenborough, UN Champion of the Earth, has turned 100 years old. His words remind us that protecting the future of our planet remains in our hands 🌏 #ActNow #OurCommonFuture

Mother Earth has given us everything. This #EarthDay let’s pause to reflect on and honour all that our planet provides and how we can all do our part to protect her in return.

Seeing Amb. Dr. @AmbMonicaJuma in action at the @uonbi auditorium was the ultimate reminder that excellence has no ceiling. 🇰🇪🌍

Climate action begins with communities. In Eburru, women & elders are leading local solutions. With support from @UNDPKenya, the Eburru Community Forest Association is strengthening climate-resilient livelihoods while safeguarding the forest; one of Kenya’s critical water towers.

Without changes, plastic pollution will keep pushing health-related economic losses even higher. But #GEO7 shows it doesn’t have to be this way. See the solutions that can help us #BeatPlasticPollution and build a healthier planet: unep.org/interactives/g…
