File photo: Some school children in Kenya planting tree seedlings

Kenya’s Ministry of Energy and Petroleum has pledged support towards the fight against climate change in East Africa through the tree planting initiative.

In a tweet on the Ministry’s page and sighted by this portal, it said the Ministry, through the State Department for Energy, is committed to planting over 300,000 tree seedlings this year.

The Ministry said the tree seedlings would be planted in “our adopted forests to combat climate change.”

The initiative is to complement the presidential project aimed at planting 15 billion trees in the next ten years.
