President William Ruto left the country Friday evening to attend a conference on climate change in Congo Brazzaville.
The three-day conference, known as the The Summit of the Three Basins is organized by the United Nations and brings together leaders from the Amazon, Congo and Borneo-Mekong-Southeast Asia regions to form a global coalition.
According to the Three Basins official website, these three regions alone account for 80% of the world’s tropical forests and two-thirds of terrestrial biodiversity, playing an essential role in regulating the carbon balance.
The summit aims to implement, within the framework of the United Nations Decade for Ecosystem Restoration, the first global coalition to restore 350 million hectares of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
The conference also brings together Heads of State, Official Delegations, Government Representatives, International Institutions, Donors, Financing Organizations, and experts.
