Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The administrator of the US government\u2019s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Michael S. Regan, recognised on Tuesday Mozambique\u2019s commitment to environmental preservation, which is why the institution is going to study support for the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to pursue that. There are a number of conversations that we\u2019re having through USAID [United States Agency for International Development], the US embassy here and the EPA, to think about how we can provide resources, whether intellectual or dollars, to help fuel this enthusiasm that we\u2019re seeing here on the ground in Mozambique,\u201d said Michael S. Regan, in an interview with Lusa in Maputo.<\/p>\n

On the second and last day of his visit to the Mozambican capital, before leaving for Ghana, the official, who is the equivalent of the environment minister in the US administration, took a closer look at a mangrove protection and recovery project on the beach in Bairro dos Pescadores, on the outskirts of Maputo.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere in Mozambique, we want to provide technical assistance on mining aspects so as not to degrade the environment while we look for a cleaner future for everyone,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Among other minerals, Mozambique is one of the countries that supplies graphite for the production of batteries for electric vehicles.<\/p>\n

The country is also one of the most threatened by climate change, with regular periods of cyclones and severe droughts, which the EPA is aware of and intends to support Mozambique with.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, without a doubt. We have a lot of technical expertise that we can provide in terms of beach erosion, trying to mitigate climate pollutants like methane, but also, as a global society, when we start looking for clean energy, we recognise that there are some essential minerals that are needed for that supply chain,\u201d said the EPA administrator.<\/p>\n

Administrator Regan\u2019s mission to the two African countries responds to President Biden\u2019s \u201ccall\u201d for action at the 2022 US-Africa Leaders Summit \u201cto expand substantive and meaningful partnerships with countries, institutions and people across the continent,\u201d the EPA previously explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis first leg of the trip has been simply fantastic. Meeting with the leaders, the commitment to clean energy, the circular economy and recycling, the way the government is engaging young people to create a movement, it\u2019s been really fascinating,\u201d recognised the administrator, who also met with the Mozambican executive on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe discussed formal partnerships to help our young people from both countries use best practices in terms of sharing specialised and technical knowledge. We also have expertise that we can bring to some of the climate-related issues,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He also said that \u201cthere are many opportunities to think about employment, economic development and workers\u201d when \u201cthinking about recycling in a circular economy\u201d.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why the aim is to \u201cshare some ideas to help the two countries overcome pollution,\u201d he emphasised, also about the upcoming visit to Ghana.<\/p>\n

\u201cResilience\u201d, he added, is the image he takes away from his visit to Maputo: \u201cI got involved with the beautiful people of Mozambique who are deeply committed to preserving their ecosystem\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd now Ghana. We want to continue to demonstrate that the [US] President\u2019s vision for a very strong partnership is serious and that the EPA is doing its part,\u201d Michael Regan concluded.<\/p>\n
