WINDHOEK， Aug. 15 (Xinhua) -- The absence of drought management policies and early warning systems in African countries area major concern， Namibia's international affairs minister said Monday.


Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah told the first ever African Drought Conference that opened in Windhoek that in order to circumvent this problem， Africa needs to develop coping drought mechanism if Agenda 2063 is to be realized.


"We have to overcome the prevailing paradigm of reactive and crisis-based approaches to drought that are indispensable to reduce the risks and mitigating the impacts of drought， floods and other disasters，" she said.


The conference that ends Friday comes as a result of decisions taken by the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification， the African Union， the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment and the United Nations Environmental Assembly.


It is being attended by more than 600 delegates from Africa.


The theme of the conference is Towards a Strategic Framework for Enhancing Resilience to Drought at the African Level that will Contribute to Poverty Alleviation， Economic Development and Enhance Environmental and Human Well Being.


Nandi-Ndaitwah further said most African countries were unable to meet the commitment made in Maputo in 2003 that governments should at least allocate 10 percent of their national budgets to agriculture.


"The Maputo commitment was reaffirmed by the Malabo Declaration that called for the ending of hunger and halving poverty through inclusive agricultural growth by 2015，" he said.


By 2015， she added， only 11 African countries managed to allocate 10 percent or more to agriculture， something that hows that drought intervention is a challenge.


Namibia's environment minister Pohamba Shifeta， whose ministry is organizing the event also said during the opening that conference is part of the commitments made during the 11th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification in 2013.


"It is indeed a fitting time to host this conference now as we face into another year of severe drought across the continent，" he said， adding that they cannot miss the political momentum behind tackling desertification， drought and land degradation.

BEIJING Homme Nike Air Max 270 Triple Noir Chaussures Soldes , June 2 (Xinhua) -- After more than a week of anticipation, the world finally received U.S. President Donald Trump's decision about his country's future role in the 2015 Paris accord on climate change, and that is, to the regret of almost all Homme Nike Air Max 270 Midnight Marine Soldes , to cut itself loose from the historic global agreement that the country once played a key role in making.


For most of people following the matter, Trump's announcement is anything but a surprise.


Trump has been blunt about his doubt of climate change, calling it hoax during the election campaign. He also pledged on the campaign trail to cancel the Paris deal and rescind various climate policies by the Obama administration, action he has already taken Homme Nike Air Max 270 Ocean Bliss Noir Soldes , citing the need to resurrect the flagging coal industry so as to create more jobs in the U.S. heartland.


In the lead up to his final decision regarding the U.S. role in what is so far the most comprehensive global pact to fight climate change, the U.S. leader said he has had extensive discussions with people either supporting or opposing to the idea of Washington's withdrawal.


As a result, one can only assume that Trump has very good reasons to leave the Paris agreement, and that he knows the implications of U.S. retreat from the landmark deal Homme Nike Air Max 270 Grape Blanche Violet Soldes , signed by more than 190 countries and representing a common aspiration of mankind for a low-carbon future.


But it is still worth mentioning that leaving the Paris deal and easing efforts to control emissions would hardly translate into a substantial increase in new jobs since the fossil fuel industries are highly automated and are unlikely to employ more workers, as more than many experts have pointed out.


It may take time for the U.S. president to find out if there's any truth in these experts' conclusion about the relevance between U.S. jobs and the Paris deal, but he has already faced criticism from some key allies.


All the other G7 members were at least disappointed, if not enraged Homme Nike Air Max 270 Photo Bleu Noir Soldes , that Trump refused to reaffirm continuing U.S. support for the Paris deal at the G7 summit in Sicily, Italy, last week.


Their divergence on climate change may turn out to be another drag on trans-Atlantic relations, on top of Trump's support for Brexit Chaussures Nike Air Max 270 Light Bone Homme Soldes , and his position on NATO defense expenses.


The United States had promised to slash emissions by 26-28 percent below 2005 levels by 2025. According to an analysis from the think tank Climate Interactive, the U.S. pledges would account for 21 percent of the total expected emissions cuts out to the year 2030 under the Paris agreement.


Trump's decision to ditch the Paris deal will leave a fairly big shoe for a single country to fill, but other major players including the European Union, China and India have reiterated their willingness to step up efforts in the face of the U.S. change of heart over the landmark deal.


The U.S. fiasco regarding the Kyoto Protocol 16 years ago has taught us the hard way Femme Nike Air Max 270 Barely Grise Noir Soldes , and the world knows only too well that, with or without the U.S. playing a leading role, they will have to honor their pledges under the Paris deal and work even harder to cut carbon emissions so as to secure a better future for the planet.


And as UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has said, if any government doubts the global will of the accord Femme Nike Air Max 270 Flyknit Noir Blanche Chaussures Soldes , then the world must be united more than ever to stay the course.
