Around 2005, I was involved in training judicial officers on environmental law and the role of the Judiciary in promoting sustainable development in Kenya. During that time, there was a consensus that the private sector was a great culprit in environmental degradation. They prioritised profit over the environment.
Despite the above as part of the training, we got an executive from the private sector with a legal background and interest in the environment to facilitate a training on the role of banks and other lenders in promoting environmental sustainability.
