Experts have warned that Kenya could be losing at least Ksh 900 billion each year due to rapid climate change, with the figure set to creep into the trillions in the near future unless urgent action is taken.

Environmentalist Dr Kalua Green has called on Kenyans and the government to lead the world in finding solutions to climate change, particularly because Kenya remains one of the most prone to the devastating effects of climate change.

While speaking at the launch of the Institute for Sustainability and Climate under the International Leadership University, the environmentalist was adamant that Kenya had the potential to save its environment if action was taken swiftly. "We are the most affected, and that gives us both the moral authority and the urgency to lead.

Our institutions can be at the forefront of developing real, lasting solutions," he said.
