Environment Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale on Wednesday departed the country for Abidjan, Ivory Coast to represent Kenya at the tenth Special Session of the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMNCEN) scheduled for September 5 to 6.
AMCEN is a platform for African ministers to discuss and strategize on pressing environmental issues impacting the continent.
The session aims to address the growing challenges posed by climate change, deforestation, and biodiversity loss while exploring sustainable solutions tailored to the unique needs of African nations.
The ministers are set to discuss about different subjects related to the environment and climate action.
The outcome of these discussions will play a crucial role in shaping the continent’s environmental policies and its approach to global climate commitments.
Kenya is set to share its insight from its initiatives, including the ambitious 15 Billion National Tree Growing Programme that seeks to raise the country’s tree cover to 30 per cent by the year 2032.
