President Uhuru Kenyatta has warned that climate change remains the main challenge to the UN Security Council's mandate of maintaining global peace and security. Uhuru on Tuesday said it will become harder in the coming years if the threat of climate change is not addressed adequately. Uhuru rallied the Security Council to support more mitigation and adaptation measures in Africa saying the effects of climate change are having adverse socioeconomic impacts on the continent. He reiterated Kenya's strong commitment to advancing Africa's agenda at UN Security Council especially on matters of climate change and security on the continent. Uhuru said Africa will suffer the worst consequences of climate change and told the Security Council to make the continent a top priority in its climate and security strategies.
