[Denish Ochieng, Standard]The just concluded African Climate Summit must go down as one of the most significant events in Kenya for quite some time. The inaugural summit may have been an initiative of the African Union but it would not have taken place had Kenya not offered to host. Africa is responsible for less than 4 per cent of global emissions but bear the brunt of the suffering for the global climate crisis. The two are connected since the financial debt and ecological debt are keeping much of the continent in shackles of poverty. The African Union has been a pretty footless organisation for some time.
