Speaking during the commemoration, Dr. Deborah Barasa, Cabinet Secretary for Environment, confirmed the development, highlighting Kenya’s commitment to environmental governance and multilateral diplomacy.
The Montreal Protocol remains one of the most successful international environmental treaties, uniting nations in the global effort to phase out harmful substances responsible for ozone depletion.
