How a focus on healthy diets can transform food systems and climate action. healthandclimatenetwork.org/… @GDARnetwork @WorldObesity @ICLEIAfrica @EATforum
‘Diverse, health diets for all’ tells us that our food system is killing people and planet. The global food systems drives the co-existence of hunger, obesity and climate threat. #DiverseHealthyDiets #SustainableDietsforAll #FoodSystemsforClimate healthandclimatenetwork.org/…

And the first ever Children and Youth Pavilion got a visit from the @COP27P President in the end. Not sure if that means anything at all. Nonetheless, glad to see young people full of energy and hope for a brighter future! Thanks @UrbanBetter championing #Cityzens4CleanAir
"Youth participation should not only stop at #data collection but young people should equally be empowered to lead the public engagement and dissemination efforts." Our #Cityzens4CleanAir panelists today support this case! @UrbanBetter #COP27

Je tiens à préciser que la procédure d’homologation et de mise sur le marché d’un produit cosmétique et d’hygiène corporelle ou d’un complément alimentaire est bien connue. A ce jour, aucun dossier d’une quelconque structure, n’a été reçu dans nos services, dans ce sens.

Je suis particulièrement heureux de vous annoncer que le cameroun vient fièrement d'être certifié pays polio-free. Bravo à toute l'équipe conduite par le Pr tetaye et à tous ceux qui ont œuvré pour cette belle victoire. Bravo encore mais ce n'est que le début des bonnes nouvelles
Le Gouvernement vient d'acquérir 100 000 tests rapides antigènes, en plus des 45 000 tests moléculaires disponibles sur l'ensemble du territoire. Comme bonne nouvelle, toutes les Régions seront désormais autonomes en matière de testing. La devise c'est Tracking, Testing and Treat

The ALPhA study will explore ways that public space is being appropriated for physical activity in Lagos and Yaoundé. Over the next 2years, we‘ll be aiming to understand types of ALPha spaces that exist, experiences of ALPhAs, and #airpollution #safety & #injury risk exposures...
