Climate Change, Clean Technology and Green Growth Opportunities in Africa - Note by the Secretariat

Climate change, as the United Nations Secretary-General has said, is “the defining challenge of our generation”. Its potential consequences for economic and social well-being are so profound that many have preferred to simply avoid imagining the unimaginable. There are, however, numerous solutions that already exist or are in the pipeline, many of which respond to other challenges such as reducing society’s inefficient use of resources, improving food security, health and livelihoods for the world’s poor, providing employment opportunities and even re-energizing a stagnant global economy in a process that is being described as “greening the economy”.

Template for National Reporting on the Cartagena Convention and its Protocols

The Convention for the Protection and Development of the Marine Environment of the Wider Caribbean Region, known as the Cartagena Convention, is a legally binding regional agreement for the protection and development of the Wider Caribbean Region. The Convention focuses on land-based sources of pollution, dumping of wastes at sea, pollution from ships, biodiversity protection, and airborne pollution among other things. Within the Convention, three protocols have been developed to deal with these issues: the Oil Spills Protocol; the Specially Protected Areas & Wildlife Protocol (SPAW); and Land-Based Sources and Activities Protocol (LBS).
