My brief remarks at the General Assembly upon taking up the role of Chair of the UN Permanent Forum on People of African Descent. A big thank you to Dr June Soomer for her brilliant work this past year #PFPAD
In the company of Amb. Willy Bett, Deputy Amb @MwendeLinai, @PSAhassan and @Joymdivo, I had a productive meeting with Mr. Li Gao, Vice Minister, Ministry of Ecology and Environment, People's Republic of China.
We discussed strengthening KenyaโChina cooperation on climate action, including linking and enhancing green investments through the Africa Green Industrialization Initiative #AGII and the Accelerated Partnership for Renewables in Africa #APRA.
Our discussions also covered priorities for the upcoming COP30 Summit: advancing multilateralism, climate finance, adaptation (Global Goal on Adaptation and adaptation finance), NDCs, strengthening international cooperation and addressing barriers for just and equitable global transitions such as unilateral trade measures.
The green energy transition presents a great opportunity for socio-economic transformation. Kenya and China will continue to deepen their collaboration under South-South cooperation

๐ฐ๐ช "Each of the last 10 years has been hotter than the last. Really our future is with the youth, so itโs really important that youth are involved and engaged in shaping the future, and for this, I am incredibly grateful to the Global Centre for Climate Mobility."
A great conversation with Ali D. Mohamed, Chair of the Africa Group Negotiators and Kenya's Special Climate Envoy @AGNChairUNFCCC.
We need to connect the dots between the boundless opportunities of #ClimateAction in Africa with the financing needed to take it to the next level.
At the end of the day, we will all have to agree that if our leaders do not deliver our national climate promises, we will fail in achieving our 1.5 goal. Letโs not also forget to hold corporations and fossil fuel companies- the biggest polluters accountable!!!
