Peninah Malonza, CS Tourism, Wildlife, and Heritage, presided over the first National Carbon Removal Workshop at the Radisson Blu hotel in Nairobi.
CS Malonza presided the event on behalf of First Lady Rachel Ruto.
The CS claimed that women have particular difficulties taking part in these initiatives.
According to studies, women are disproportionately impacted by climate change and frequently have fewer resources and opportunities to adapt to its effects.
“Climate change is ‘the most systemic threat to humankind’ and ‘gender inequity is the world’s biggest developmental challenge.’ Any climate action must therefore be deliberately designed by and with women at its core,” said Malonza.
Despite these obstacles, women play a crucial part in efforts to remove carbon from the atmosphere.
They frequently engage in small-scale forestry, agriculture, and other pursuits that can help reduce emissions and sequester carbon.
