IT IS TIME TO PLEDGE FOR A SUSTAINBLE HEALTHY PLANET Today, Friday, 1st December 2023, I write as the Founder and Director of Sustainable and Inclusive Green Africa to add my voice to the voices of heroes and heroines of our planet who have converged at United Arab Emirates for the Conference of the Parties 28 to achieve a sustainable healthy planet. First, I would like to congratulate H.E. Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, President for COP28 UAE, the UNFCCC Executive Secretary alongside the UN Climate Change High-Level Champion, H. E. Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, leadership of various continents and countries and all other stakeholders for making this historical conference possible. It is certainly the meeting of heroes and heroines of our generation who believe that together we can save our planet and the future of the next generation will not be sabotaged and stagnated by the negative impact of climate change. I believe it is time for the world to pledge; pledge to come together to drastically reduce global warming; pledge to decentralize the combat process for the International, local, national, regional, communities and individuals to effectively participate in our quest to save the planet; pledge to adhere to strategic actions in limiting global warming to 1.5°C; pledge to improve the capacities of developing or vulnerable countries by strengthening their climate change initiatives; pledge to encourage multi- sectoral collaboration on issues related to climate change; pledge to share best practices and metrics between stakeholders. Ladies and Gentlemen, and Leaders of our world, I was happy with the statement made by Ursula Van der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, “I will push for keeping 1.5°C within reach… Europe is fully doing its part and ready to show the way.”. Certainly, Europe is fully doing its part as well as Africa, Asia, North America, Antarctica, South America and Oceania. The world must understand that it is only in shared unity that we can address the many challenges of climate change. We all need to come together and fully participate in achieving 1.5°C in global warming, phasing out fossil fuels, boosting renewable energy and energy efficiency, increase climate finance and strategies for vulnerable communities and countries to adapt to change. It’s a pledge for shared unity and full participation from all unions, associations and countries. IT’S A PLEDGE FOR POSSIBILITY to make life better for children, the youth and the aged and for the next generation and we can certainly do it.

1. Today, Friday, 1st
December 2023, I write as the Founder and Director of Sustainable and
Inclusive Green Africa to add my voice to the voices of heroes and heroines of our planet
who have converged at United Arab Emirates for the Conference of the Parties 28 to
achieve a sustainable healthy planet.
First, I would like to congratulate H.E. Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, President for COP28
UAE, the UNFCCC Executive Secretary alongside the UN Climate Change High-Level
Champion, H. E. Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, leadership
of various continents and countries and all other stakeholders for making this historical
conference possible. It is certainly the meeting of heroes and heroines of our generation
who believe that together we can save our planet and the future of the next generation will
not be sabotaged and stagnated by the negative impact of climate change.
I believe it is time for the world to pledge; pledge to come together to drastically reduce
global warming; pledge to decentralize the combat process for the International, local,
national, regional, communities and individuals to effectively participate in our quest to
save the planet; pledge to adhere to strategic actions in limiting global warming to 1.5°C;
pledge to improve the capacities of developing or vulnerable countries by strengthening
their climate change initiatives; pledge to encourage multi- sectoral collaboration on issues
related to climate change; pledge to share best practices and metrics between stakeholders.
Ladies and Gentlemen, and Leaders of our world, I was happy with the statement made by
Ursula Van der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, “I will push for
keeping 1.5°C within reach… Europe is fully doing its part and ready to show the way.”.
Certainly, Europe is fully doing its part as well as Africa, Asia, North America, Antarctica,
South America and Oceania. The world must understand that it is only in shared unity that
we can address the many challenges of climate change. We all need to come together and
fully participate in achieving 1.5°C in global warming, phasing out fossil fuels, boosting
renewable energy and energy efficiency, increase climate finance and strategies for
vulnerable communities and countries to adapt to change. It’s a pledge for shared unity and
full participation from all unions, associations and countries.
IT’S A PLEDGE FOR POSSIBILITY to make life better for children, the youth and the
aged and for the next generation and we can certainly do it. ITS TIME TO PLEDGE FOR
