Rocky Dawuni attends United Nations Environment Assembly in Nairobi, Kenya – SEE PHOTOS
The United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) brings together representatives
of the 193 Member States of the UN, businesses, civil society and other
stakeholders to agree on policies to address the world’s most pressing
environmental challenges. Hosted by the UN Environment Programme, the resumed
fifth session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-5.2) takes place
online and in Nairobi on 28 February – 2 March 2022.
UN Goodwill for the Environment for Africa, Rocky Dawuni will be joining the events
of the UNEA performing and addressing the delegates. The GRAMMY nominated
artist from Ghana plays a unique role as a musician and activist working within the
environmental framework weaving music and speaking roles to shed light on critical
issues facing nature and our role as human beings within the natural world.
The overall theme for UNEA-5 is “Strengthening Actions for Nature to Achieve
the Sustainable Development Goals.” This highlights the pivotal role nature plays
in our lives and in social, economic and environmental sustainable development.
UNEA-5 is an opportunity for Member States to share best practices for
sustainability.
It will create momentum for governments to build on and catalyze
impact on multilateral environmental efforts to protect and restore the natural world
on which our economies and societies depend. Immediately after UNEA-5.2, the
Assembly will hold a Special Session of the Assembly on 3 – 4 March 2022, which is
devoted to the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the creation of UN
Environment Programme in 1972 (UNEP@50)
Rocky Dawuni will then head to the United States for the 64th Annual GRAMMY
Awards to be held on April 3 in Las Vegas where his signature “Afro Roots” sound
featured on the album “Voice of Bunbon, Vol. 1” is nominated for “Best Global
Music Album.” This is Rocky’s second nomination and if he is to secure the prize it
will be the first for his country of Ghana.
