[Photo: Standard]When asked about what on earth could best epitomize nature’s wonders, I for one would definitely choose the peaks of Mt Kenya and Mt Kilimanjaro. Yes, and Nairobi has set the beat of climate action this week. They have stepped up climate action on regional solutions for deploying renewable energy, protecting biodiversity, and boosting adaptation and resilience. Because Kenya epitomizes African leadership in climate action. This is what we do when we support financial institutions locally to transform their lending practices in favour of climate smart SMEs in 17 countries (of which 16 in Africa, including Kenya), with the €650 million “Transforming Financial Systems for Climate” project, funded by the Green Climate Fund.Time for climate action is now.
