Air pollution causes millions of premature deaths and a host of illnesses in the world’s cities each year. This is especially true in sub-Saharan Africa, where sparse air pollution monitoring imparts high uncertainty to estimates of exposure and impact. Five hundred million African children live in areas with no reliable air quality monitoring.
This second session in our healthy cities webinar series will discuss some emerging efforts to rectify this large air pollution data gap using surface monitoring, remote sensing, and air quality modeling, with a focus on Nairobi. Speakers will also discuss solutions and pathways forward for reducing the health burden from air pollution in Africa.

POLICY BRIEF/AFRICA
In a new policy brief on the impact of COVID-19 on the African continent, the Secretary-General highlights the continent’s swift response to the pandemic, but also calls for global solidarity with Africans now and to recover better.  
In a video message recorded for the launch, the Secretary-General said that most African countries have moved rapidly to deepen regional coordination, deploy health workers, and enforce quarantines, lockdowns and border closures.
They are also drawing on the experience of HIV/AIDS and Ebola to debunk rumours and overcome mistrust of government, security forces and health workers. But, despite these efforts, the pandemic threatens progress achieved on the continent and will aggravate long-standing inequalities.
The Secretary-General called for international action to strengthen Africa’s health systems, maintain food supplies, avoid a financial crisis, support education, protect jobs, keep households and businesses afloat, as well as cushion the continent against lost income and export earnings.
The Secretary-General also emphasized that African countries should have quick, equal and affordable access to any eventual vaccine and treatment.  These must be considered global public goods, he said. He added that ending the pandemic in Africa is essential for ending it across the world. 
AFRICA DIALOGUE
This morning, during the opening session of the Africa Dialogues series, the Secretary-General reiterated the solidarity of the United Nations with African countries as they tackle the new coronavirus.  
He welcomed African support for his call for a global ceasefire, but also warned that the pandemic is affecting capacity to support peace and security efforts across the continent.
My message to the international community, he said, is that failure to respond quickly and adequately could jeopardize progress towards Silencing the Guns by 2020 and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals as well as Africa’s “Agenda 2063”.
He said that the empowerment of African youth and repeated that women should play a central role in all peace processes, just as they needed to be central to every aspect of the COVID-19 response.
These are still early days for the pandemic in Africa, and disruption could escalate quickly, he concluded, as he renewed his appeal for global solidarity with all African countries.
HUMAN RIGHTS CHIEF/ AFRICA
In a joint statement following the publication of the Secretary-General’s Policy Brief on Africa, the UN’s High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, and the Chairperson of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR), Solomon Dersso, called for urgent measures to help mitigate the impact of the pandemic.
Bachelet and Dersso said that while measures to restrict movement and increase social distancing were essential in the fight against the virus, they were having a dramatic impact on populations, especially those who rely on informal daily work for their survival.
They both also underlined the importance of preserving freedom of association, of opinion and expression as well as access to information during this time. The human rights chiefs joined the Secretary-General's call for equitable access for COVID-19 diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines.

Vervet monkeys engage in grooming behaviour as a means of social bonding and maintaining social relationships within their troops. Grooming is a mutual activity where one monkey picks through the fur of another, removing dirt, insects, and parasites. Here are some key points about vervet monkey grooming behaviour:

1. Social bonding: Grooming plays a crucial role in the social structure of vervet monkeys. By grooming one another, they establish and strengthen social bonds within their troop. This behaviour promotes cooperation, trust, and overall unity.

2. Hygiene maintenance: Grooming helps to keep the monkeys' fur clean, removing debris, dirt, and external parasites like ticks and lice. Regular grooming helps prevent skin infections and infestations.

3. Body language: During grooming sessions, the groomer often uses their hands to separate the fur and pick through it, while the recipient monkey may present specific body parts to facilitate grooming. This cooperative behaviour showcases not only trust but also communication through body language.

4. Grooming hierarchy: There is typically a grooming hierarchy within vervet monkey troops. Higher-ranking individuals often receive more grooming from lower-ranking individuals, indicating their higher social status. Grooming can be a form of social currency within the group.

5. Mutual benefit: Grooming is a mutually beneficial behaviour for both the groomer and the recipient. The groomer gets an opportunity to remove parasites and maintain social bonds, while the recipient benefits from having pests removed from their fur and experiencing social grooming.

6. Stress reduction: Grooming sessions can also help to reduce stress within the troop. Mutual grooming has a calming effect on the monkeys, as it can increase levels of oxytocin and reduce cortisol, a stress hormone.

Overall, grooming behaviour among vervet monkeys is an essential part of their social interactions, maintaining hygiene, and establishing and reinforcing social bonds within their troop.
