Speaker, on behalf of the Committee Chairperson, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Departmental Committee on Environment, Forestry and Mining on its consideration of the Agreement on the establishment of the Global Green Growth Institute, laid on the table of the House on Wednesday, 20th November 2024 and, pursuant to the provision of Section 8(4) of the Treaty Making and Ratification Act, 2012, approves the ratification of the Agreement on the establishment of the Global Green Growth Institute. Hon. Speaker, I wish to bring to the attention of this House that the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) was established in 2012 at the Rio Plus 20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development. The Agreement on the Global Growth Institute was subject to ratification and entered into force on 18th October 2012, following the signing of the Agreement by 16 countries and accession by five countries. The GGGI is a treaty for inter-governmental organisations that supports and promotes sustainable economic growth in developing countries and emerging economies. It provides green growth services to governments and promotes action by supporting access to climate finance through building nation finance vehicles and helps address policy gaps and challenges like what we have seen this country do on tree growing. GGGI currently has 48-member states which include nine from Africa. They are: Angola, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Uganda, Senegal and Zambia. The Headquarters of the GGGI is located in Seoul, Korea. On 13th December 2023, the Cabinet of Kenya approved a Cabinet Memo on the accession of the GGGI and, pursuant to Section 7 of the Treaty Making and Ratification Act of 2012, upon accession of the Global Green Growth Institute, Kenya shall be required to: 1. Attend and participate in the biennial meeting of the Assembly under Article 7(2). 2. Invest in public participation and awareness of the GGGI sustainability development."
