"Our CIPD has factored in the change in climate due to low carbon emissions, resource efficiency, specific climate change adaptation and mitigation measures not forgetting economic transformation" He said. 

Governor Barasa said the county plan, expected to run 2023-2027 is geared towards inclusivity in activities with one aim to reduce prevalence of water and waterborne diseases. 

Speaking at the event Peninnah Mukabana CECM Environment water and natural resources underscored the need for conservation of the environment to ensure friendly environmental effects free of pollution.

The CECM said her ministry had taken bold and serious steps in compacting the negative effects of Climate change by encompassing more stakeholders in decision making activities as long as environment conservation was concerned.
