French President Emmanuel Macron is set to visit Kenya next week as co-chair of the One Planet Summit (OPS), an event coinciding with the fourth session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (Unea-4).
Ado Lõhmus, a Unea special envoy, confirmed at a Nairobi press conference that Macron will open the high-level OPS meeting on March 14, 2019. The summit, initiated by France, aims to mobilize global leaders to advance climate action through policy implementation.
Co-chaired by Macron and Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, the session will bring together heads of state, ministers, business leaders, and civil society representatives to address renewable energy promotion and biodiversity resilience. The event will run alongside Unea-4, which focuses on environmental governance and sustainability frameworks.
