|---|
|
The weekend before the Paris climate talks, all around the world people will be coming together in massive global weekend of action that will make sure global heads of state know that the entire world expects them to take nothing less than dramatic action to shut down the fossil fuel industry and build the renewable energy we need. In Nairobi, the 350 Kenya team in collaboration with Universities and other environmental group will join the Global March by mobilising the youth for stronger voices on a just transition towards 100 % Renewable energy by 2050 and with a demand to protect Lamu region where Kenya government plans to set up a coal fired power-plant. An artistic performance is also planned at the National Theater where the same message will be reiterated. This march comes at a time when Pope Francis tour to Kenya and Africa coincides with his message of peace and environmentalism. Pope Francis ,is the first pope to dedicate an entire encyclical letter,Laudato Si', to the environment. He's scheduled to address Nairobi's headquarters of the United Nations tomorrow, where he's widely expected echo his September pitch he made to the UN General Assembly in New York to protect creation. This event will mark exactly 20 years since the last time Pope visited Kenya back in the year 1995. Youths from 350 Kenya and various organizations will take part in a tree planting exercise in support of the Pope's encyclical calling on humans to take care of the environment they live in, they will also present a diplomatic statement.
