Transforming Climate Challenges into Growth Opportunities


Kenyans are set to reap the rewards of a new initiative to help local companies develop and deploy climate friendly technologies that will create thousands of new green jobs.

The world’s first Climate Innovation Center (CIC) will be established in Nairobi, according to an announcement in Nairobi today by Andrew Steer, World Bank’s Special Envoy for Climate Change.

The initiative was announced during a Danish sponsored conference, ‘Green Growth in Kenya’, which focused on the private sector’s role in promoting green growth in the context of the county’s changing climate and increasing resource constraints.
