Environment Principal Secretary Festus Ng’eno hosted renowned environmental conservationist Truphena Muthoni for high-level discussions aimed at enhancing collaboration between the Ministry and young climate champions.
The meeting focused on exploring mentorship opportunities and integrating Truphena’s conservation work into national policy frameworks, particularly under the National Climate Action Plan (NCAP) 2023–2027, which includes a dedicated pillar for youth and children’s participation in climate action.
Ng’eno reaffirmed the Ministry’s commitment to nurturing youth-led environmental initiatives, emphasizing that young people play a critical role in driving sustainable solutions to climate change and environmental degradation.
In line with President William Ruto’s directive, the Principal Secretary said the Ministry would work closely with Truphena to support her planned visit to Brazil, further positioning youth-led climate action on both national and international platforms.
