It is true that Kenya and many developing countries in Africa and Asia have contributed minimal levels of GHGs. However, to avoid following the same high emitting development pathways that the current industrialized nations followed, Kenya has chosen to follow a low carbon development pathway hence the emphasis use of clean energy, recycling of waste and afforestation.
