Let’s explore the unfolding narrative of UNEA-6, a global congregation set to convene from February 26 to March 1, 2024, at the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya. UNEA, as the paramount decision-making body on the environment, endeavors to reconcile the relationship between humanity and nature, with a profound impact on the world’s most vulnerable populations.
In a symphony of voices for nature, the Vice Chairman of the Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas, inspired by the afforestation namesake and pioneer Richard St. Barbe Baker, aspires to tread the soil of Kenya at UNEA-6. Richard St. Barbe Baker’s call for collective action, encapsulated in Twahamwe—coming together as one—resonates, echoing the noble objective of the Men of the Trees: to instill a tree sense in every citizen, fostering love for native trees and promoting the noble art of unselfish and constructive forestry.
To facilitate this transformative journey, the community’s philanthropic endeavors stand as a beacon of support. As a student pursuing a master’s degree in regenerative sustainability at the University of Saskatchewan, the Vice Chairman seeks to embody the principles of environmental stewardship and regenerative sustainability at UNEA-6. Beyond the ecological impact, supporters are reminded of the financial incentive through charity tax deductions—up to 53% back.
Drawing inspiration from Dana Meadows’ dedication to environmental science and education, the journey to UNEA-6 takes on added significance. UNEA-6 emerges as a pivotal platform to address the triple planetary crisis—climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. Through the lens of multilateralism, political resolve, and societal engagement, the assembly offers an opportunity for governments, civil society, scientists, and the private sector to sculpt global environmental policy and support the achievement of sustainable development goals.
As the world anticipates UNEA-6, the Vice Chairman of the environmental grassroots non profit charity Friends of the Saskatoon Afforestation Areas and the community’s philanthropic backing symbolize a harmonious collaboration to make a positive impact on the environment. In the footsteps of environmental luminaries like Dana Meadows, and Richard St. Barbe Baker let us rally behind this endeavor, recognizing the potential for collective environmental action and echoing the sentiment that each of us can indeed make a difference.
