The Great Green Wall Initiative for the Sahara and Sahel (GGWSSI) – Africa’s flagship initiative in fighting poverty, climate change and natural resource degradation – has launched a dedicated online knowledge platform.

Once again, Connect4Climate travels to the Cannes Film Festival. This year, we're building and expanding Film4Climate, a global initiative committed to developing a concrete plan to mitigate the environmental impact of film production as well as raising awareness and encouraging action on climate change through the storytelling powers of cinema.
