Claretians at the 5th Session of the United Nations Environment Assembly – (UNEA-5.2)
Nairobi, Kenya. The 5th session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-5.2) has kicked off in Nairobi-Kenya on February 28, 2022, and ended on Friday, March 4, 2022. This Assembly is guided by the overall theme of “Strengthening Actions for Nature to Achieve the Sustainable Development Goals Global as the Global family demonstrates nature’s pivotal role in our lives and social, economic and environmental sustainable development.”
As an accredited faith-based organization at the UNEP, and as a follow-up to the XXVI General Chapter’s exhortation “to increase the congregational outreach and presence in Nairobi….to better address, the issues related to the environment” [QC 86], the Claretian Missionaries, recognize its prophetic duty to add its voice to the continuing solidarity efforts by multi-stakeholders in defence of the Mother Earth and the vulnerable people of God during this Environment Assembly.
It is for this reason that Bro. Robert Omondi, CMF (attending in-person), and Fr. Rohan Dominic, CMF (online attendance) are representing the Congregation during the five-day event with the Special Session devoted to the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the creation of the UN Environment Programme in 1972 (UNEP@50).
