UNDP Kenya’s role in ecosystem restoration

Walid Badawi, UNDP Resident Representative.

We mark World Environment Day under extremely difficult circumstances. The globe is reeling from the impacts of COVID-19, arguably one of the worst ever global pandemics, as well as the devastating impacts of climate change that continues to push the world as we know it to that dreaded point of no-return.

Even as we applaud the efforts by various stakeholders to respond to these twin challenges of our generation, we note that more efforts are required to surmount these dynamic problems and put the world on a path to recovery.
