โClimate change is the defining issue of our time. Every day we fail to act is a day that we step a little closer towards a fate that none of us wantsโa fate that will resonate through generations in the damage done to humankind and life on earth.โ โ UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres

ABC Movement Launched at the Walkerspruit River |
|
|
The ABC Movement was held on August 13, 2023, at the Walkerspruit River in Sunnyside, Pretoria, Gauteng, Rep. of South Africa. About 90 ASEZ members gathered for it. Sunnyside has a lot of dormitories because there is the University of Pretoria nearby, and it has a very high population density due to its large floating population. Therefore, the streets overflow with garbage illegally dumped everywhere. To tackle this issue, Tshwane Municipality, which signed an MOU with ASEZ, asked ASEZ for help. |

Theme for 2023: Fighting Inequality for a Resilient Future |
|
|
We are at a crossroads. The climate crisis is weakening our ability to achieve the SDGs 2030. The transition to a sustainable, zero-carbon world requires rapid changes at the systemic level, including key sectors such as energy, food, and health. In 1989, the UN Head Office designated October 13 as International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction to promote a global culture that reduces disaster risk. This day organized by the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction [UNDRR], aims to confirm the global progress in preventing and reducing disaster risk and loss. |
