World Environment Day Build-Up Activities Update – Trans Nzoia County
_Led by KPCG Member, Monar CBO_

As part of the build-up activities for World Environment Day 2026, the Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service, KEPHIS Kitale Branch, donated 20,000 tree seedlings to support county-wide reforestation efforts.

Progress to date:

1. 10,000 seedlings have been distributed to five sub-counties across Trans Nzoia County. The distribution targeted community groups, farmers, and institutions to increase green cover during the build-up period from 28th May to 4th June 2026.

2. An additional 10,000 seedlings are scheduled for planting at Kipkekei Primary School, Cherangany Sub-County. This activity will involve pupils, teachers, and community members to promote environmental stewardship among learners.

The initiative is coordinated by the Trans Nzoia County Environmental Committee, with Monar CBO contributing as a KPCG member representing farmers. The tree-planting drive aligns with the World Environment Day message of collective action for environmental conservation and climate change mitigation.

These efforts aim to strengthen partnerships, raise awareness, and enhance Trans Nzoia’s resilience ahead of the main celebration on 5th June 2026.

World Environment Day 2026

Climate action is not just about protecting our planet—it is driving economic growth, creating jobs, and attracting investment.
A just, orderly, and equitable transition away from fossil fuels is unlocking cleaner, more reliable, and home-grown energy solutions for communities worldwide.

At the same time, investing in climate adaptation delivers high returns, strengthens resilience, and helps communities withstand the growing impacts of climate change.

This World Environment Day, let's accelerate action for a sustainable, resilient, and prosperous future for all.

This International Day for Biological Diversity, under the theme “Acting locally for global impact”, a powerful idea is placed at the center: major changes begin on a small, local scale. The success of this plan to reverse biodiversity loss depends on the strength of local actions—on the commitment of communities, organizations, and governments working together.
