Kenya’s Principal Secretary for Culture, Ummi Bashir, joined world leaders in an interactive dialogue on Environmental Protection, Conservation, and Rehabilitation at the 69th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69).
In her remarks, PS Bashir reaffirmed the Kenyan government’s dedication to gender-responsive environmental policies, emphasizing the critical role women play in conservation and sustainability efforts. She highlighted Kenya’s commitment to integrating gender perspectives into environmental protection, ensuring that vulnerable communities, particularly women and children, benefit from sustainable climate action.
"Kenya has made significant strides in strengthening the adaptive capabilities and resilience of vulnerable communities," she stated, underscoring the government’s ongoing efforts in climate adaptation, ecosystem restoration, and sustainable development. She further noted that Kenya remains committed to fostering inclusivity and ensuring women’s full participation in environmental decision-making.
The discussions at CSW69 brought together global policymakers, environmental advocates, and thought leaders working towards sustainable solutions that balance environmental conservation with social and economic equity. Kenya’s proactive approach in addressing climate challenges while championing gender inclusivity positions the country as a model for transformative environmental governance.
As global efforts intensify to combat climate change, Kenya continues to lead by example in fostering sustainability, resilience, and inclusivity in environmental conservation.
