NCCK Spearheads World Environment Day Commemorations
The National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) spearheaded the marking of the World Environment Day in Kitui County with an event attended by national and county government officials, partners, and residents.
Mrs. Florence Ngalai, the Kitui South Sub-County Administrator, officiated the event that was themed “Land Restoration, Desertification, and Drought Resilience”, and whose highlight was planting of trees to symbolize environmental repair and resilience.
“Our collective actions today will determine the health of our environment tomorrow. Let us all commit to sustainable practices that will protect our land and ensure its productivity for future generations,” Florence remarked.
She further underscored the critical role of community involvement in environmental conservation efforts.
Leaders at the event emphasized the importance of uniting to safeguard the environment, particularly in areas prone to environmental degradation and climate challenges.
The event also featured informative sessions and discussions on best practices for land restoration and drought resilience, engaging the community and stakeholders in meaningful dialogue.
The NCCK is implementing the Nature Positive project in Athi Ward, Kitui County, with a goal of strengthening adaptation and mitigation to climate change, as well as restoring biodiversity and boosting livelihoods.
