Halving emissions by 2030 and removing 5-16 billion tons of CO2 annually by 2050 is vital to combat climate change effectively.

Africa, with its vast renewable energy potential and minimal emissions, could lead the global charge in climate innovation.

Kenya's Rift Valley, abundant in renewable resources, could host crucial climate technologies, transforming global energy dynamics.
