- It was such an honour to finally meet @SadhguruJV here in Abidjan at @UNCCD #COP15 when I MC’ed HL Opening Event - as he spoke about why our soils need to stay ALIVE if we are to continue surviving & thriving. #Wisdom #SaveSoil #UNited4Land #LandLifeLegacy @UNDP
“Our problem is that 70% of land is ploughed and 4.2% is paved... The real fixing that we need is on agricultural land. Keep the soil alive: #UNCCDCOP15 needs to end with implementable action.” @SadhguruJV #UNited4Land #LandLifeLegacy - I will NOT be at COP26 for personal reasons linked to #VaccineInequity towards Africa BUT as #COP26 starts today my children & I are watching & HOPE that you leave them a #LivingPlanet 🌎🙏🏾🙌🏽👇🏾✊🏾Following deliberations & participating Virtually.
