As the 28th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP28) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change convenes in the United Arabs Emirates (UAE), bringing together world leaders, environmental experts and activists, a pivotal topic scheduled for discussion this week is the role of nuclear energy in advancing green energy solutions.

President William Ruto addressed the gathering last week as he sought to push the continent's climate agenda in his capacity as chairman of the Committee of African Heads of State and Government on Climate Change.
