✓The
Media Briefed on the Values of COP28 and #betd24, Showcasing their Values and Drumming
support for the said 2023 grand Climate Assemblies
That
was on Friday the 24th of November 2023 at Itcham Hotel on the
occasion of the Council's dual sessions, mid year evaluation and budgetary
session.
The training
dubbed “empowering Cameroon Councilors to Enhance Green Leadership Program” was
done under the canopy of CCCAP4CEX Cameroon Council Climate Awareness and
Education Program for Climate Exchange Campaign launching Cameroon’s 10 Billion
Strong Council Green Leadership network.
With
mission to train Councilors who are Community representatives to go back and
setup satellite networks of climate restorers who will in turn groom climate
community volunteers for Climate resilient actions.
The
occasion was also a great forum or opportunity used to Brief the Cameroon media
on why the press should champion climate crusades and drum support for Climate
activism. Why not draw much awareness on the upcoming climate assembly in Dubai
COP28 this 30th November to the 12th of December 2023 and
the Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue#betd24 in Germany March 2024.
This
is because for the past years, the said assemblies of parties which is a major
world decisions making body and which requires each and everyone’s
contributions to combat climate change has received less or no attention like
all other world gatherings in the past years.
Doing
justice then to nature and changing the narrative for a just transition, the
team of Cameroon climate journalism Network (CCJN) cum climate experts and it’s
Executive Director Tamukong Roland Angong took upon themselves in the process
of ushering the two great climate assemblies, showcased it’s values as a call
for social awakening at the Grand Press Briefing.
At
the end of the training, launching and press briefing exercise, certificates
were awarded to councilors after finishing the three module courses the team offered
on Climate Restoration, Entrepreneurship, Leadership and governance,
biodiversity conservation plus plastic waste management and pollution.
