I work for the United Nations, and we are good at using with the "P" words: projects, programmes, policies, peace, poverty, partnership... The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted unanimously by all 193 member states in 2015, adds to the list three buzzwords: people, planet and prosperity, signifying the 2030 Agenda's inseparable social, environmental and economic dimensions.
Ms. Hannifa Kut, currently pursuing a master degree in environmental law in the University of Nairobi, has her own particular "P"s in promoting change: pen and paper, with passion as her ink. Nothing is too big, nothing is too small. Hannifa publishes articles in her own online blog, calling for change in the way we live, and in the way we connect with our mother nature.
Hannifa does have her unique perspective. In her recent article "Diet Change or Climate Change", she is not shy about upsetting the meat-lovers:
"Animal agriculture actually contributes to global warming. That is meat and dairy production. With some sources having more effect than others, say beef and poultry, with beef being on the higher side."
Passionate about the issues of youth, gender and environment, the Kenyan student is particularly concerned with pollution that affects her own country:
"The Kenyan coast has not been exempted from the plastic pollution that has been taking place all through other oceans/seas."
To my pleasure, Hannifa is also a fan of UN Environment's #CleanSeas campaign. She also mentions about the last UN Environment Assembly in her stories! Click here or the link below to check our her blog on Environment Matters: https://hannifakut.blogspot.com/
Note: I met Ms. Hannifa Kut at the Global Landscape Forum, Nairobi, August 2018. I do not necessarily share the views expressed in her blog.
Wonderful
