    "content": "THAT, there has been poor implementation of international and national obligations to respond to climate change and progress towards attainment of low carbon climate resilient development through the National Climate Change Action Plan (2018-2022); THAT, there is an urgent need to mobilize national and county governments to set aside sufficient funds to finance climate change, mitigation, adaptation actions and interventions that will make Kenya be in league with other nations; THAT, there is a further need to integrate climate change programmes and actions into decision-making and implementation of functions by the sector ministries, State corporations and county governments; THAT, the national and county governments, private sector, development and multilateral partners, civil society and other holders should immediately enlist to support initiatives meant to immediately jump-start participation in implementing forest cover; THAT, Kenya and in particular, the National Assembly and the Senate alongside the above mentioned stakeholders must fully prepare and effectively participate in the UN Climate Change Conference on the PARTIES – COP 26, Glasgow, UK in November by having a strong team that will help the county move forward in this campaign. Therefore, your humble petitioners pray that the National Assembly through the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources in consultations with relevant Government agencies enquire into the possibilities of putting in place measures to: a) Eliminate climate change including reduction of greenhouse emissions and use of non-renewable energies, and wanton destruction of our trees, and among others; b) Rally all institutions of learning from primary and secondary schools, tertiary institutions and universities to engage students in tree planting campaigns; c) Introduce national and county governments’ tree planting programmes that will include all roadsides and any other open spaces available for the project; and d) Establish and determine priority areas and the project to be undertaken as a national initiative by Government to involve Regional, County and Sub-County Commissioners. And your petitioners will ever pray."
