Engage public on energy efficiency post-Covid crisis

In recent times, the conversation on energy efficiency and conservation has increasingly come to the forefront. With global greenhouse gas emissions continuing to rise, the need for collective responsibility to curb further reckless pollution of the environment is becoming more and more pronounced.

According to the Climate Institute, Kenya recorded more than 60 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions in 2013, equivalent to 0.13 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions. In the global perspective, it does not seem much, but it’s a harmful contribution nonetheless. It is therefore pertinent to engage the Kenyan public on individual and collective prudent energy conservation initiatives.
