    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I thank the Kenyan delegation that visited Poland for the United Nations Conference of Parties on Climate Change (COP 24). In support of this Motion, I will say a few things about climate change, and bring it closer home. That Report contains recommendations and obligations to Member States, but those obligations and recommendations will only make sense if they are implemented in Member States. If Member States take no action on the recommendations that were passed in Poland, then what they have done will just be paper work. I want to draw the attention of this House to the global climate change profile of our country, Kenya. It spells doom, creates and paints a very grim image of our country and where we are going. I, therefore, encourage every leader in this country to take interest in our profile, as a country. It says that between the years 2000 to 2050, Kenya’s temperatures will have risen by up to 2.5 degrees celsius. With the rising temperature, we will start experiencing erratic and very intense rainfall. I am reminded that we are in the year 2019, and those effects are already here with us. The current rainfalls are both erratic and unpredictable. I wish that the delegation that went to Poland looked at the Fifth Session of the COP 5. In May, 2000, this country hosted the COP 5 on Climate Change in Gigiri. In that conference, Kenya was cited for extreme destruction of natural ecosystems. Recommendations were then made that we needed to do certain things to make sure that we do not get ourselves in the mess that we find ourselves in today."
