Environment conference aims to raise US $3 million

    ABIDJAN

    Delegates from 46 countries attending an environment conference in Abuja last week agreed to work more closely on environmental protection and sustainable development in Africa, the UN said on Monday.

    Recommendations made at the eighth meeting of the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment, held from 3-6 April, included the need to raise more than US $3 million over the next two years to support continent wide environmental activities. Delegates also agreed to revitalise their group as a vehicle for environmental cooperation and raise money to allow rapid response to natural disasters, the UN Environmental Programme said.
