More on the West Africa Zoom Gather-in
It was a privilege being part of the recent West Africa Zoom Gather-in led by our Regional Reference Person, Chioma Okonkwo. The following are my highlights:
- Our response to the health crisis will shape how we deal with climate change.
- COVID-19 offers lessons and opportunities that lead to environmental action. For example, there is now a new baseline for what can be achieved digitally. This includes remote work, remote education, remote shopping, and so on—from the comfort of our homes.
- This time of change can lead to long-lasting sustainable habits that benefit the environment.
- There is less travelling, less consumption, less food waste, and less production.
While I wish and pray that the pandemic will end soon, I have resolved to encourage the sustainable habits afterward.
