on the ecological resources of the planet, and
must ensure the integrity of ecosystems and
preserve biodiversity and the resilience of life
supporting systems.

We Promote and advocate for a better Kenyan
society through a culture of education, communication,
advocacy, empowerment and networking with like-minded
people to further the green principles.

without discrimination, to an environment supportive of
their dignity, bodily health, and spiritual well-being.

about

Green Congress of Kenya is an initiative that believes in political and civil action to promote green principles in policy making and real ground level action. Being Green is not just planting trees. It’s more than that. These principles are Ecological Wisdom, Social justice, Non-violence, sustainability and respect for diversity.

Green Congress of Kenya is a collective initiative of people who call themselves “greens”. In other terms we are people who believe in the Global Greens Charter. The charter is the driving force of green inspiration for political as well as non-political movements for green initiatives around the world.

We aim to make the 21st century a green century! This means fundamentally reforming the dominant economic model, tackling climate change, ending the hunger crisis, promoting vibrant democracy, working for peace, protecting biodiversity and more.
