President Uhuru Kenyatta has said that Kenya will have to set aside Sh6 billion for the implementation of the Nationally Determined Commitment (NDC)—an initiative put in place to combat climate change.

Speaking during a virtual Climate Ambition Summit which was hosted by the UK government, and attracted an attendance of 70 countries; Uhuru said Nairobi was inclined to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 32 per cent come 2030. The figure is an upgrade on the initial 30 per cent and the changes will be made by December 31, 2020—which is the deadline.
