“It is important to remember that the environment choices available in some countries may not be an option for others”. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in her Commonwealth Day message in 2008 said that, “The Commonwealth Heads of Government met in Uganda on the edge of Lake Victoria and agreed to an Action Plan for tackling climate change. Last year, Commonwealth Heads of Government met in Uganda on the edge of Lake Victoria and agreed to an Action Plan for tackling climate change. It was an appropriate place to do so from there, the waters of the River Nile begin a three month journey to the Mediterranean. The Nile, throughout history, has served humankind in many ways. But for all its impressive size and importance, this river is a fragile eco-system, and its vulnerability grows with the number of people dependant upon it, so that a single incident of pollution upstream may affect the lives of countless numbers downstream.

World-renowned environmental advocate Jane Goodall shared her reasons for hope at the 4th edition of the Geneva Lecture Series

Dr. Jane Goodall, the keynote speaker of the 4th edition of the Geneva Lecture Series that took place on 26 May at the Palais des Nations, urged the current generation to stop borrowing from the future generations and to change its ways before it is too late. Pointing to the sometimes pessimistic attitudes among youth, Dr. Goodall explained, “When I think about how we have harmed the planet since I was their age, I feel this desperation and shame. We have compromised their future. But it’s not true that there’s nothing that can be done about it”.


Jane Goodall commonly referred to as “Dr. Jane” sees her work with children and youth as one of the main priority areas. She struggles to instill hope and to make them believe that they can contribute to making the world a better place. Through its youth programme “Roots and Shoots” currently present in 120 countries, the Jane Goodall Institute demonstrates in practice how each child can make a difference for his local community, animals and the environment. While delivering her lecture, Dr. Goodall noted that this was her faith in youth that gave her the energy to travel 300 days a year to spread a message of hope and to contribute to “raising new generations to be better students than we are”.
