As the world looks forward to gather in Stockholm, Sweden from June 2-3, 2022 to participate in Stockholm+50 meeting that will be co-hosted by Kenya and Sweden, Kenya is particularly enthusiastic to witness the environmental trajectory evolving this year.
The objective of Stockholm+50 is to commemorate 50 years since the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment (UNEP) held in 1972, which led to the creation of the United Nations Environmental Programme. This meeting, therefore, is very monumental for Kenya as it provides us with an opportunity to reflect on the journey undertaken by our founding father Mzee Jomo Kenyatta in his pursuit for a healthy environment that led to Kenya becoming the global multilateral environmental hub hosting UNEP.
