All over the world, ecosystems are threatened. From forests and drylands to farmlands and lakes, natural spaces on which humanity’s existence depends are reaching a tipping point. According to the UN Convention to Combat Desertification, up to 40% of the planet’s land is degraded, directly affecting half of the world’s population. The number and duration of droughts have increased by 29% since 2000, and without urgent action, droughts may affect over three-quarters of the world's population by 2050. Perhaps this is why World Environment Day 2024 focuses on land restoration, halting desertification, and building drought resilience under the slogan “Our land. Our future, we are Generation Restoration.” Can we turn back time? We discuss more with Sarah Basemera, Team Lead at Raising Gabdho Foundation (RGF). #NTVNews #NTVTonight #NTVWeekendEdition Subscribe to Our Channel For more news visit http://www.ntv.co.ug Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/ntvuganda Connect with us on Messenger via m.me/NTVUganda

The Intergovernmental Authority for Development (IGAD) wants the member states to adopt a strategy for implementing educational programs that promote common goals, aspirations, and instruction within IGAD member states. According to IGAD, quality education and recognition of academic qualifications can be another source of addressing unemployment and conflicts within the 11 member states. The effort includes ongoing assessment exercises of available skills, qualifications, and labor market needs within the member states, despite challenges associated with language barriers. IGAD delegates are meeting in Entebbe to find solutions to some of these challenges. #NTVNews #NTVTonight #NTVWeekendEdition Subscribe to Our Channel For more news visit http://www.ntv.co.ug Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/ntvuganda Connect with us on Messenger via m.me/NTVUganda

A group of students from Makerere University and Kyambogo University have marched to Parliament to petition the House over the East African Crude Oil Pipeline Project. The students say the project will cause devastating environmental challenges to residents who live near the oil drilling areas. The pipeline will transport oil produced from Uganda’s Lake Albert oilfields to the port of Tanga in Tanzania, where the oil will then be sold to world markets. In November last year, the East African Court of Justice dismissed, with costs, a case in which environmental and human rights groups were challenging the construction of the pipeline. #NTVNews #NTVTonight #NTVWeekendEdition Subscribe to Our Channel For more news visit http://www.ntv.co.ug Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/ntvuganda Connect with us on Messenger via m.me/NTVUganda
