Kenya has endorsed a carbon tax on all shipping activities globally as part of the broader scheme to curb the perennial climate crisis.
In a statement on Tuesday, March 25, Kenya's Special Envoy for Climate Change, Ambassador Ali Mohammed, expressed the country's approval of the tax, stating that Kenya was among the frontline casualties of climate challenges.
According to him, the current climate menace did not originate from Kenya but from industrialised nations, particularly those in the West with outsized historical emissions. "Under the principle of common but differentiated responsibility, those who fuelled climate change must lead in funding the solutions," he said.
