The trio aims to extend a helping hand by acting before, during and after disasters<\/p>\n<p>and health emergencies to save lives and build the resilience of vulnerable people and communities worldwide. The PM revealed that the visit was intended for deliberations with the government<\/p>\n<p>of Lesotho, on policies involving global issues such as the impact of climate change on livelihoods and humanitarian aspects of the people. \u201cAs far as<\/p>\n<p>climate change is concerned, the IFRC is looking to plant 3 billion trees on the continent of Africa by 2030 and Lesotho of course is part of that programme,\u201d Majoro said.<\/p>\n<p>Today marks the beginning of this mandate in Butha-Buthe where Lesotho Red Cross is launching phase II of IFRC 10Million Pan African Tree Planting Agenda at<\/p>\n<p>Rehauhetsoe Primary School. Southern African Cluster Delegation Head Dr. Michael Charles said their task is to continue supporting Lesotho Red Cross as a member of the IFRC under which there<\/p>\n<p>are 193 member countries, to bring visibility on the global scale and ensure that they support the most vulnerable people. \u201cOne of the biggest challenges<\/p>\n<p>that we are facing in our times is climate change as we can see that we are faced with floods and droughts which causes crop failure,\u201d he said. Charles reflected<\/p>\n<p>that Lesotho experienced drought in 2019 and floods in 2022, saying this disturbs food production and results in food insecurity. He said their plan is<\/p>\n<p>to see what is happening in the fields, to see how they can create visibility and continue to advocate for many people that might be suffering and might need their assistance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/lesotho\">Lesotho<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Lesotho.
