Climate Action Summit 2025: Road to COP 30
For four days the Climate Action Summit 2025 — Road to COP 30 — filled a Nairobi hall with badges, laptops, and the low hum of people finding seats.
Civil servants sat next to students. Farmers' groups shared benches with engineers. Conversations moved between national policy and kitchen-table weather — longer droughts, sudden floods, power bills when the grid stumbles.
We listened for county plans that match what Kibera already does: tree days along the Ngong, waste sorted by hand, neighbours teaching neighbours where to report illegal dumping.
COP 30 is months away. The river here still needs rakes this Saturday.
Follow our river programme posts — we announce when county officers join community walks so residents can ask questions in person.
Ngong River Regeneration Network - Zone (1-6)
The Ngong River Regeneration Network Zone Coordinators (Zones 1–6) held a productive meeting with the Commissioners representing the Ngong River, chaired by Commissioner Benjamin Langwen, alongside Commissioners John Kioli and Dr. Loice Jepkemboi Kipkiror, together with Inspector Ashford - NRC Secretariat. The meeting was highly engaging and inspiring, leaving us even more energized and committed to advancing the river restoration agenda. Together, we reaffirmed our shared commitment to not only regenerating our rivers, but also promoting a cleaner environment, encouraging food production through downstream farming, and creating sustainable job opportunities through riverine activities. #NgongRiverRestoration #NairobiRivers #EnvironmentalConservation #RiverRegeneration #ClimateAction #CommunityEmpowerment #GreenJobs
World Menstrual Hygiene Day Celebration
In celebration of Menstrual Hygiene Day, ETCO, in partnership with Rotary Club of Nairobi Connect and with support from the Safaricom Foundation, today donated 900 sanitary towels to girls at Joash Olum Primary School. This initiative was aimed at supporting the girl child by promoting menstrual dignity, boosting confidence, and helping keep girls in school so they can stay focused on their education and future careers.
