The session consisted of a meeting of the expert group from 14 to 16 August, and a ministerial segment, on 17 and 18 August 2023. The session was held under the theme: “Seizing opportunities and enhancing collaboration to address environmental challenges in Africa”. The session was preceded by a meeting of major groups and stakeholders (civil society) that took place at the same venue on 12 and 13 August 2023. The focus of the nineteenth session of AMCEN is to strengthen collaboration among the various institutions and enhance the implementation of regional and global environmental frameworks to address the environmental challenges facing the continent. This entails building on existing initiatives, including strengthening the role of those institutions that support the implementation of regional and global outcomes. On the fourth day of the ministerial meeting was opened and acting Executive Secretary Antonio Pedro made a statement and said “ It gives me great pleasure to address the Ministerial Segment of the 19th Ordinary Session of AMCEN on the theme: Seizing opportunities and enhancing collaboration to address environmental challenges in Africa.
This session comes at a time when all eyes are on Africa. This is on account of all the opportunities and potential our region offers to tackle global and our own national and regional challenges.
The top priority for Africa is to achieve the inclusive and sustainable economic transformation that delivers tangible impacts on job creation and poverty eradication while addressing the triple planetary crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.” | en |
