Kenya’s Call For A Fair And Ambitious Global Climate Finance Goal
As climate change intensifies, the question of who pays for the response is more urgent than ever. Kenya, like many developing nations, has submitted its position on the New Collective Quantified Goal on Climate Finance (NCQG) — the global target that will succeed the current USD 100 billion annual pledge made under the Paris Agreement.
Kenya’s message is clear: the new goal must be fairer, larger, and more responsive to the real needs of developing countries.
IPCC Working Group III Report: Halving Global Emissions by 2030 Is Still Possible
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has made it clear: the time for action is now. In its 2022 report on mitigation of climate change, scientists warn that unless the world takes immediate and deep cuts in emissions, the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C will slip permanently out of reach.
Average annual greenhouse gas emissions from 2010–2019 were the highest in human history. Yet, there is hope: climate action is expanding, technologies are advancing, and costs of clean energy are plummeting.

The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report sounds a powerful alarm: we must act urgently to protect our planet and people from the accelerating climate crisis.

Such nominations by President Ruto begs the question of whether his statements are mere rhetoric or genuine commitments to the fight against corruption.
Oparanya Arrest And Charges Must Follow High Court Judgement Quashing DPP's Decision To Drop Corruption Charges
In his judgement, Hon. Justice B.M. Musyoki declared that the DPP’s directive to drop charges of corruption, conflict of interest, abuse of office, and money laundering was irregular, opaque, and contrary to public interest.
