Driving their gas guzzlers to the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) to discuss how best to limit carbon emissions, the heads of state and dignitaries attending the Africa Climate Summit are masters of irony. For a change, Mr Gachagua also ditched his high-end vehicles and walked from his office along Harambee Avenue to KICC, his bodyguards in tow. President Ruto reminded the audience that climate change is not just an abstract concept, as proven by science and emerging experiences. “In the face of this (climate change), we cannot continue to lament the effects of climate change and wait for financial support promised by major polluters. The result was not only lost time, but more carbon emissions from vehicles, both private and public.
