    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to contribute to this important amendment, The Climate Change (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bills No.42 of 2023). First, let me take this opportunity on behalf of the Senate and everyone else in Parliament to welcome all the delegates who will be coming to Nairobi City County to attend this very important conference. We are not expecting an ordinary engagement. This is about livelihoods that have been challenged in Africa by the devastating effects of the climate change. We are hoping that this is one conference that is going to go beyond the paperwork and discussions in boardrooms and bring change to Africa in terms of carbon markets and carbon credits. The Bill itself offers practical legal framework and pathway to carbonisation. It also offers a road map towards reduction of the flow of the heat trap in greenhouses and gases that are being emitted into the atmosphere. We believe that this framework that is being offered here creates an environment that goes towards involving everybody and giving a roadmap for involvement of the citizens towards how they can reduce emissions from sources like power plants, factories, cars and others, that have caused quite a bit of a risk when it comes to the emission of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. The adaptation by everyone will be important and needed, coupled by a change of lifestyle. For instance, the horror of food insecurity is unfortunately connected to these emissions. It will need to be seriously mitigated by taking certain steps, which sometimes could be very easy to take. For instance, if people could walk or do more things that will allow us to use sources of energy in spite of the fossil-based sources of energy, then we would be saving The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard Services,Senate."
