As governments around the world race against time to shift to a low-carbon economy, the World Meteorological Organisation on Wednesday, announced that 193 countries have unanimously approved a landmark decision creation of a global greenhouse gas emissions monitoring mechanism.

The organisation warned that this came in the backdrop of greenhouse gas concentrations record higher levels more than any time over the last 800,000 years. Kenya is making remarkable progress towards shifting to green energy by 2030.
