This story is part of a series that will run ahead of the third edition of the One Planet Summit which will take place in Nairobi, Kenya, on March 14, 2019. The Summit will bring together global leaders, entrepreneurs, international organizations, and civil society, to help accelerate and focus attention on climate investments in line with the Paris Agreement objectives. The Summit will focus on promoting renewable energies. Nairobi shows it nestled between two large swathes of green. Nairobi National Park and its world famous wildlife lies to the south, and the city’s western and northern sides are bordered by two dense rainforests. On a clear day, you might see Mount Kilimanjaro piercing the sky from the south. Turn around, and Mount Kenya’s rocky peaks grace the northern horizon. It’s no surprise that Nairobi is popularly referred to as the “Green city in the sun.” But on March 14, Kenya’s most dynamic city will add a new qualification to this moniker. Nairobi will host global leaders from the public, private, and civil society sectors. While the Summit will showcase Kenya and Nairobi’s impressive progress towards sustainability, it will also provide a uniquely African perspective on the Summit’s mission: to speed up the global transition to a low-carbon economy.
