Commonwealth Secretary-General intensifies climate finance campaign at Africa Climate Summit

The Commonwealth Secretary-General, the Rt Hon Patricia Scotland KC, is seeking to ramp up global support for greater climate finance commitments at the Africa Climate Summit, taking place 4 to 6 September in Nairobi, Kenya.

The summit, held under the theme ‘Driving Green Growth and Climate Finance Solutions for Africa and the World’, is a critical juncture for the African continent to mobilise action in the lead up to the UN Climate Change Conference COP28 in November.

Vulnerable countries and populations in Africa are particularly exposed to the impacts of climate change, such as unpredictable weather patterns and more extreme weather, which affects millions of lives, livelihoods and homes.

In Nairobi, the Secretary-General is scheduled to meet with various Heads of State from the region as well as world leaders, including the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, to advocate actions that will unlock billions in climate finance to support vulnerable nations, as well as improve access to those funds.

This includes delivering on the annual commitment of US$100 billion in climate finance promised to developing nations since 2009, and the operationalisation of an inclusive and fit-for-purpose Loss and Damage Fund, which was agreed last year at COP27 to help vulnerable countries cope with the devastating impacts of climate change.

The Secretary-General said: “I urge leaders, the international community, the private sector and civil society – together, we must all step up and drive this transformation. The means and the solutions to realise our ambitions under the Paris Agreement are already available to us – there is no excuse for a delay in action. Ignoring the consequences of inaction will hurt the most vulnerable the hardest, not to mention the generations that follow.”

The Secretary-General is leading a delegation of senior experts from the Commonwealth Secretariat, who will also be sharing key insights and best practices garnered from flagship programmes such as the Commonwealth Climate Finance Access Hub (CCFAH), the Commonwealth Blue Charter, the Commonwealth Sustainable Energy Transition Agenda and the Commonwealth Living Lands Charter: A Call to Action on Living Lands (CALL), including their enhanced focus in supporting the Africa region.

On Tuesday 5th September, the Secretary-General will take part in a high-level panel alongside the President of Somalia, H.E. Hassan Sheikh Mohmaud, the President of Mozambique H.E Filipe Jacinto Nyusi and the Vice President of Colombia H.E Francia Elena Marquez Mina, focusing on unlocking the potential of a “regenerative blue economy” in Africa and globally.

During the mission, the Secretary-General will also hold a dialogue with environment and climate ministers from across the Africa region, to discuss expectations and key concerns ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference COP28.

Discussions will feed into the first ever Commonwealth Environment and Climate Ministers’ Meeting, to take place in the margins of the United Nations General Assembly meetings in New York on 21 September.

Furthermore, the study and evaluation of the marine environments in the Red Sea contribute to the rehabilitation of affected areas, ensuring the long-term health and resilience of these delicate ecosystems. This discovery not only promises ecological benefits but also presents a unique opportunity for economic diversification through sustainable tourism.

The National Center for Wildlife, in collaboration with its partners, will conduct comprehensive studies, research, and risk assessments to better understand and protect these invaluable marine environments. The engagement of national researchers, employees, and esteemed international experts will propel the Kingdom toward adopting best scientific practices in the field of marine conservation.

A Sculpture For the World; Positive, Hopeful 9/11 Memorial Sculpture Installed in Texas by NY Artist Mark Weisbeck

Greenville, NY, August 23, 2023 — International award winning New York sculptor Mark Weisbeck’s sculpture, “Remembrance and Renewal” features two 15-foot-tall stainless steel towers which reference the iconic World Trade Center.

The unveiling took place within the beautiful Liberty Gardens in Bicentennial Park, Southlake, TX. Presided over by Mayor John Huffman, the City Council and the Southlake Arts Council. Director of the Arts Council, Tamara McMillian stated, “At the time of 9/11 and still today, this area was a HUB for American Airlines. Many pilots and airline staff lived in our neighborhoods and knew the pilots and staff that were lost. Many of them flew those same routes. This beautiful sculpture stands not only as a reminder of that horrific day but as a way of healing while paying tribute to those who lost their lives. It is a loss that is still in our hearts today; we will always remember.”

Weisbeck’s sculpture promotes contemplation and healing and inspires us to work toward harmony, goodwill, and peace around the world. Reflecting the restorative powers of nature, the lightly textured brass “leaves” highlighted in “Statue of Liberty” green patina twist gracefully toward the sky. “Remembrance and Renewal” invites the viewer to celebrate with love and honor all those lost and affected by the events of 9/11 and pay tribute to those people and loved ones in a positive, hopeful, and compassionate manner.

Diane Weisbeck recollects, “Mark spent the winter fabricating the sculpture and at the end of May we spent 5 days driving it to Texas. That was one incredible road trip! The installation was professionally done by the most dedicated, caring parks department guys that we have ever had the privilege to work with.”

Singer Daler Mehndi takes blessings from revered saint Dr. Vasant Vijay Maharaj at Grand Shiv Mahapuran Yajna

New Delhi, August 22nd, 2023:

The famous Punjabi and Bollywood playback singer Daler Mehndi visited the revered national saint Dr. Vasant Vijay Maharaj during the 55-day Shiv Mahapuran Yajna. The elaborate Shiva court of Markandeya Hall in Chhatarpur hosted the Akhand Rudrabhishek Mahotsav 2023 celebration. The musician received the venerable Gurudev’s blessing on the eleventh day of the blessed occasion.

Dr. Vasant Vijay Maharaj is a revered saint, and Daler Mehndi said that Gurudev’s mantras have an incredibly pure and potent resonance. The singer attended the event along with the well-known national saint, which also included a devotional ceremony to Lord Shiva.

As he reflected on his lengthy relationship with Gurudev, Daler Mehndi expressed his sincere gratitude for all the love and blessings Guruji had bestowed upon him. He talked about the significance of his visit to the magnificent Maa Padmavati temple that Gurudev had built. “Gurudev provided a novel approach: he had the capacity to guide 100,000 people into a two-minute meditative state that could alleviate discomforts like leg and head pain. “Daler Mehndi reaffirmed his belief in the effectiveness of this method, affirming the potential of such a simple but effective method of healing.

Numerous people’s sufferings were allayed by Saint Dr. Vasant Vijay Ji Maharaj’s magnificent Shiv Manas Puja, which was performed in the sacred space of the Shiv Darbar. The saint not only emphasized the importance of Shiv Manas Puja but also the transformative power of immersing oneself in the divine name of Lord Shiva as it is spoken of in the Shivpuran.

Dr. Vasant Vijay Maharaj emphasized how the offerings of wood, ghee, honey, and guggul could be used to reduce planetary influences while elaborating on the sacredness of the Yagya ritual. Devotees’ lives are then blessed with happiness, peace, and prosperity as a result of receiving divine favor.

To assemble an impressive 2,17,000 earthly Shivalingas on the eleventh day of the festival, participants descended upon the Katha Pandal. Siddha scholars guide the worshipers as they revere these holy Shivalingas with the aid of mantra chanting.
