Speaking at the 26th Conference of Parties (COP26) in Glasgow, President Uhuru Kenyatta has called for an increase of ambition by member states to end carbon emissions as well as an increase in climate financing.

“Kenya has high expectations at the COP26 meeting to see a quantum increase in climate financing. Two times in a row developing countries have been promised USD100 billion per year but this is yet to be delivered.”
