And yet, policy does not seem to protect and guard our natural resources as jealously as it should. We need to view the threat to our natural resources from a climate change lens. While ‘climate change’ may seem too abstract a term, it sums up the impact of global natural resource deterioration — a gradual process, but accelerated by human activities. Pollution is the primary cause of climate change, whose most significant trigger is greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Kenya should exploit its immense unexploited renewable energy sources in solar, wind and geothermal as commitment to climate change mitigation.
