As we approach World Environment Day, Afghanistan faces significant risks from environmental and climate change. Environmental degradation harms health and wellbeing, leading to unsafe living conditions due to poor waste management, air pollution, and contaminated water. The lack of green spaces, especially in informal settlements, worsens these issues. However, there is hope. By prioritizing urban planning and community-driven solutions, we can reduce environmental damage, protect public health, and improve living conditions. With Afghan cities growing rapidly, we must act now to prevent these challenges from becoming crises for Afghan communities. 🎥 Hear from Stephanie Loose, UN-Habitat Afghanistan Head, as she shares insights on both the challenges & opportunities for building a more sustainable future.
