Kwale Governor Fatuma Achani has flagged off a tree planting campaign aimed at enhancing environmental sustainability and combating climate change in the coastal region.
Governor Achani distributed 10,000 tree seedlings for planting to residents in Matuga Sub County under the Financing Locally-Led Climate Action (FLLoCA) project through the Department of Lands, Environment, Climate Change and Urban Planning.
The FLLoCA programme provides financial support for local climate resilience projects and seeks to empower local communities to take the lead in addressing climate change challenges.
The coastal county boss also underscored the crucial role of tackling the challenge of climate change by inaugurating the tree planting initiative at Ganze village in Waa/Ngombeni ward of Matuga Sub County.
