\n\n\n\nOne of the key events that President Geingob will attend while out of the country, however, is the 78th Session of the United Nations General Assembly. This will take place from 18 to 24 September in New York, United States of America (USA). The theme for this year’s General Assembly is “Rebuilding trust and reigniting global solidarity: Accelerating action on the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals towards peace, prosperity, progress, and sustainability for all.”
The objective of the General Assembly is for Heads of State and Government to delve into solutions addressing the interconnected global challenges, with the aim of promoting peace, security, and sustainable development.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Namibian Presidency revealed that President Geingob will participate in the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development on Monday, 18 September 2023. The topic of his statement at this forum will focus on scaling up actions on key transitions to accelerate SDG progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Additionally, President Geingob will participate on 19 September in the Corporate Council on Africa Roundtable on “Critical Minerals and the Energy Transitions”. The platform provides an opportunity for Namibia to showcase its position as one of the leading destinations for mining investments and green solutions, which Namibia advances through the development of a green hydrogen industry,” the Namibian Presidency revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, the president will engage in the UN Climate Ambition Summit, which aims to expedite efforts in combating climate change, following an invitation from the United Nations Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres. Additionally, he is slated to attend the leaders’ reception hosted by President Joe Biden and participate in a High-Level Panel focused on Water Investment for Africa on 19 September 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“A strong proponent of the fight against climate change, President Geingob is one of the founders in 2018 of The High-Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy (Oceans’ Panel), which is a unique global initiative by world leaders to build momentum towards a sustainable ocean economy as part of the Sustainable Development Goals. The Panel has since grown to 17 members to include new members like the United Kingdom, France and the United States of America, accounting for over 40% of the world’s oceans,” the presidency said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Namibian Presidency explained that the panel believes that the actions taken now can safeguard the ocean’s capacity to regenerate, in order to deliver substantial economic, environmental, and social value and offer powerful solutions to global challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“At the invitation from the President of Palau and the Prime Minister of Norway, President Geingob will participate in the Oceans’ Panel Summit, which in the United Nations Decade of the Oceans is working towards climate solutions that can deliver up to 21% of the annual greenhouse gas emission cuts needed in 2050 to limit global temperature rise to 1.5\u00b0C,” the presidency added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The president will then deliver another statement on Wednesday, 20 September, at the United Nations General Assembly on behalf of Namibians and the Namibian government. According to the Namibian Presidency, this marks a crucial milestone in the journey towards achieving the 2030 Agenda and the urgent need to put the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) back on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apart from holding bilateral and mini-lateral meetings with fellow Heads of State and Government from countries including Germany, Belgium, Hungary, and South Korea during the side-lines of the United Nations General Assembly, President Geingob will also deliver speeches at the Invest in Namibia Luncheon and engage with executives from prominent oil giants like Chevron International.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President Geingob, as an Africa-America Institute (AAI) alumni, will also lead a fireside conversation at the 39th Annual Awards Gala and 70th Africa-America Institute Anniversary celebrations, alongside President Mokgweetsi Masisi of the Republic of Botswana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“President Geingob is a past recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award, having received a scholarship under AAI’s Southern African Student Programme, funding his undergraduate studies at Fordham University, where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts in 1970 and later a Master of Arts in Political Science in 1974 at The New School. A recipient of six honorary doctoral degrees, President Geingob later completed a PhD in Political Science in 2005 at Leeds University in the United Kingdom,” the Namibian Presidency added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After attending all these events, the president will then return to Namibia on 25 September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
