@UNDPKenya @GEF_SGP The @GEF_SGP Kenya's primary objective is to enhance and maintain the socio-ecological resilience of selected landscapes and seascapes through community-based initiatives in selected ecologically sensitive areas for global environmental benefits and sustainable development.

I am sending a message to #DearWorldLeaders: Developing countries, often home to world's poorest and most vulnerable people, are on the frontlines of climate change.
