 On 22nd April, it is Earth Day, and while we are facing a pandemic crisis, we are also facing an ongoing climate crisis, one that also kills and puts people in danger every day. Those who are at the forefront of crises and hid the hardest are the most vulnerable and the poorest people. For the climate crisis, this means people and communities in developing countries, especially the least developed countries and countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Through the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, the global community has committed to leave no one behind. We can see that current business as usual approaches are not enough. Climate finance is not reaching the people and places that need it most. It's time to be more ambitious and move on from business as usual. We need new approaches that are fairer for those at the forefront of climate impact. For example, new mechanisms that can deliver finance and resilience to where it matters most, to local levels. We need all countries to show leadership and make sure ambition is put into practice. Some developing countries are already showing the way forward. In Kenya, the national government is scaling out a devolved climate finance mechanism called the County Climate Change Fund mechanism, mechanism which has processes to ensure that money reaches the local levels, while strengthening communities' participation in the management and use of this money. Victor Orindy, who has been leading the implementation of the County Climate Change Fund mechanism in Kenya, will now say a few words on this. The County Climate Change Fund mechanism, piloted in five counties, funds community priorities and investments that generate significant benefits for all, including women and youth, in many cases, for previous left behind. The mechanism is now being scaled out to additional counties as part of the National Climate Change Agenda. On this Earth Day, we hope other countries will think about how to up their climate ambition, change the status quo, and accelerate progress to leaving no one behind.
