It all starts with one simple choice—to plant a tree. From that single act grows cleaner air, healthier ecosystems, and a better future for generations to come. Big change starts small… and it starts with you.

Why fruit trees are underrated 🌳🍊
Free snacks for years
Shade on hot days
Pollinator paradise 🐝
Better soil, less erosion
Fresh air + fresh fruit
Plant one, and you’re growing more than food. 🌍

Up to 90% of waste in Africa is either dumped or openly burned—poisoning air, accelerating climate change, and harming the most vulnerable.
📍 From 15–16 April 2025, UNEP, represented by Fatou Ndoye, the Deputy Director of UNEP's Regional Office for Africa, is participating in the Consultation Workshop on the Africa Roadmap to End Open Burning of Waste in Nairobi, hosted by the Royal Academy of Engineering in collaboration with AMCEN and partners.
💬 UNEP is working alongside governments, cities, waste pickers & engineers to co-design Africa’s plan to reduce open burning by 60% by 2030.

With the #Covid19 pandemic, more girls are exposed to increased risk of FGM, facilitated by the closing of schools and the ban on social gatherings and interactions. It is extremely crucial for people in communities where FGM occurs to break the silence by reporting perpetrators.
