Climate Change: Kenya's Silent Crisis
Senator Edwin Sifuna
June 5, 2025
While politicians debate tribal alliances, climate change is silently devastating millions of Kenyan lives. The Horn of Africa is experiencing its worst drought in 40 years. Floods have displaced hundreds of thousands. Agricultural productivity is declining.
Senator Sifuna's Green Kenya plan tackles this head-on:
- 100% RENEWABLE ENERGY BY 2035: Kenya already generates over 90% of its electricity from renewables. We will complete the transition and become Africa's first fully renewable nation.
- 5 BILLION TREES: A massive reforestation program that creates hundreds of thousands of jobs while restoring Kenya's degraded landscapes.
- CLIMATE JOBS FOR YOUTH: 500,000 new jobs in solar installation, conservation, sustainable agriculture, and green manufacturing.
- NATIONAL CLIMATE RESILIENCE FUND: A dedicated fund to protect vulnerable communities from climate disasters.
Climate action is not just environmental policy — it is economic policy. It is job creation policy. It is security policy. And Senator Sifuna is the only candidate with a serious plan to address it.
