Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Minister of Environment and Forestry Josephine Napwon said there is a plan underway to generate 3000 megawatts of power from hydro solar, wind, geothermal and natural gas.<\/p>\n

Josephine made the statement on Tuesday during the 5th United Nations Environment Assembly in Nairobi, Kenya. The event was held under the theme \u201cStrengthening Actions for Nature to Achieve the Sustainable Development Goals\u201d.<\/p>\n

However, she said there is a need for financial support, capacity building, and technology transfer. Josephine appealed to the developed countries\u2019 parties to use more efforts to reduce their emissions by increasing their ambitions and implementing their National Determine Contributions (NDCs)<\/p>\n

She commended the declaration on deforestation and land use at COP26 in Glasgow. The minister said she hopes that would give access to funding for the planting of 100 million trees in 10 years to alleviate the pressures on forests<\/p>\n

\u201cSouth Sudan aligns itself with the African Group position and would like to see some achievement under the UNEA 5.2,\u201d Josephine stated.<\/p>\n

She stressed that for South Sudan to be able to achieve the SDGs, there is a need for long-term financing from the developed countries and development partners through capacity building, finance, and technology transfer<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is need to embark on ambitious nature-based solutions by actively protecting, sustainably managing and restoring degraded ecosystems that are a source of food, water and energy, wealth, and livelihoods,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSouth Sudan hopes that United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA 5.2) would adopt resolutions that will stimulate states to intensify their efforts in addressing the unsustainable exploitation of nature and restore degraded nature ecosystems such that nature will continue to provide goods and services for the wellbeing of humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Josephine told the assembly that plastic pollution has reached an alarming state as the world\u2019s oceans, rivers, streams, and wetlands are overwhelmed with plastic waste.<\/p>\n

\u201cA moratorium on the production and a ban of single-use plastic bags is to be considered to rescue aquatic life,\u201d she stated. She reiterated that for nature to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals there must be a need to tackle the climate change threat.<\/p>\n
