CHOGM for collective transformation from pandemic #IndiaNEWS #News
Kigali: The 26th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) underscored the importance of connecting, innovating, and transforming in order to facilitate a full recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic.
On the final day of the CHOGM 2022 on Saturday, the leaders decided to achieve the 2030 Agenda and to respond to conflicts and crises in ways that increase resilience and progress in delivering a common future, underpinned by sustainability, peace and prosperity and to improve the lives of all people of the Commonwealth.
Also, Commonwealth leaders officially adopted the Living Lands Charter: A Commonwealth Call to action on Living Lands (CALL), which commits all member countries to safeguard global land resources while taking coordinated action on climate change, biodiversity loss and sustainable land management.
The Declaration on Sustainable Urbanisation and the Kigali Declaration on Child Care and Protection Reform were also adopted.
Elsewhere, the Commonwealth Blue Charter Project Incubator was launched on the margins of CHOGM.
This new initiative will support Commonwealth ocean states in cultivating and scaling-up projects that protect the marine environment while also tackling climate change.
And the governments of Kenya and Eswatini were named as the new Champion Countries to lead Commonwealth action on geothermal energy and energy literacy, as part of the Commonwealth Sustainable Energy Transition (CSET) Agenda.
In their new roles, they will take the lead in forming voluntary coalitions made up of member countries willing to work together to develop shared strategies and align action on each issue.
Also, members of the newly installed Commonwealth Youth Council (CYC) met face-to-face with heads of government on the margins of CHOGM.
The historic intergenerational dialogue saw young leaders sitting in a circle with prime ministers, presidents, ministers, and heads of delegation from 15 countries, including Rwanda, Canada, Seychelles, and Samoa, for crucial conversations on youth-led sustainable development.
This was followed by the signing of a historic agreement between the Commonwealth Secretariat and some of the worlds largest youth organisations to form the Commonwealth Alliance for Quality Youth Leadership.
This partnership will see more than 250 million young people benefit from leadership and life skills.
Saturday marked the end of a week-long programme of high-level events and activities, ministerial meetings and four forums the Commonwealth Youth Forum; the Commonwealth Womens Forum; the Commonwealth Business Forum; and the Commonwealth Peoples Forum in the lead-up to CHOGM.
