    "content": "Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources regarding the country’s position on global environment agreements and, in particular, the Post-2015 Climate Change Agreement. Hon. Speaker, there is no country which has single-handedly been able to deal with climate change issues, and this has necessitated the formation of, and engagement in, regional as well as international agreements. Article 26 of the Constitution requires that any treaty ratified shall form part of the Laws of Kenya. Countries have, over the years, made agreements on the adaptation, management and mitigation of climate change effects. The 21st Conference of Parties to be held in Paris in 2015 has already seen regional governments, including the European Union (EU) and the United States, come up with working positions to be used as frameworks at the conference. However, the same cannot be said in Kenya and within our regional governments, be it under the East African Community or African Union (AU). Hon. Speaker, the Chairperson should inquire into and report on the following:- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
