The health, economic and social emergency linked to Covid-19 make the fragility of the man-planet balance even more evident. The spread of Covid-19 is also linked to the underestimation of the impact of human activities on the environment and global warming will not end with the end of this emergency.

On the occasion of World Africa Day (25 May) and on the fifth anniversary of Pope Francis’ Encyclical Laudato Sì (24 May) dedicated to the Care of Creation, Fundación Promoción Social and Harambee Africa International promote a reflection on the challenges and commitments to mitigate the impact of climate change in Africa, where seven of the ten countries most vulnerable to the climate emergency are located.
