TAF X Space | Ubuntu in Action

Africa’s natural world is abundant, yet too often, communities are left to carry the cost of pollution caused by foreign multinational companies. This engagement explores how Ubuntu, Africa’s philosophy of shared responsibility and collective well-being, can shape a stronger, more just environmental response across the continent.

Moderated by Benedict S. Sayeh, Focus Units Coordinator in TAF Nigeria, this event brings together experienced voices working at the intersection of environment, governance and community protection:

John Golakai Davis, Deputy Focus Units Coordinator in TAF Nigeria
Offering insights on accountability, environmental policy and the structural barriers that allow external actors to harm African ecosystems.

Rev. K. Melton Seleweyan, Representative for TAF Environment in TAF Nigeria
Speaking on the lived realities of pollution in Liberia, community resilience, and the urgent need for African-led environmental stewardship.

What This Engagement Will Explore
- How Ubuntu principles can guide Africa’s environmental protection frameworks
- The real impacts of pollution on Liberian communities, health, land, livelihoods and identity
- Strategies for holding multinational corporations accountable
- Community-driven approaches to restoration and environmental justice
- How TAF can support stronger environmental governance across Africa
- This session calls on all Africans, including environmental practitioners, community advocates, youth, policymakers and partners, to unite behind a shared responsibility: protecting the land that sustains us

Ubuntu reminds us: when one community suffers, we all do
Together, we rise to defend our environment and our future
