New Kenyan center will enhance environmental work

China and the United Nations Environment Programme have inaugurated an interim secretariat to oversee setting up an environmental cooperation center in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital.

The center, to be based at UNEP headquarters in Nairobi, is expected to be a platform where green practices are promoted and the partnerships between China and African countries - including the private sector, research institutions and intergovernmental organizations - are all strengthened.

It will also provide tailored services to support member countries in achieving sustainable development goals of the UN's 2030 Agenda and the African Union's Agenda 2063.
