Despite limited technical and financial capacity, the Minister emphasized The Gambia\u2019s determination to pursue innovative solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Key national initiatives highlighted include the development of an integrated national waste management system through a public-private partnership model, aimed at improving municipal waste services, establishing sanitary landfills and strengthening recycling processes. She also announced Cabinet approval of a National Action Plan to reduce plastic pollution by 82 percent within the next ten years.<\/p>\n<p>While acknowledging The Gambia\u2019s minimal contribution to global climate change, the Minister stressed the country\u2019s strong political will to tackle pollution. She called for enhanced international cooperation, increased climate and environmental financing, technology transfer and capacity-building, particularly for Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS).<\/p>\n<p>Concluding her statement, Minister Manjang described UNEA-7 as a vital platform for accelerating global action on pollution and sustainable resource management, reaffirming The Gambia\u2019s commitment to working with all partners towards a cleaner, healthier and more resilient planet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Gambia<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
