Keywords: Africa, UNEP, Poverty, Poverty Reduction
Abstract: The very first Africa Environment Outlook report is a significant milestone in the collaboration between the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN). It should serve as a roadmap, supporting the environmental component, on Africa?s journey to sustainable development. It is clear that poverty is inextricably linked to the environment and action to protect and care for the environment must be taken. Otherwise the poison of poverty will continue to plague the continent.
