Kenya is hoping to raise about $6 million to successfully host four international conferences and a regional event early next year.

They include the fifth session of the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA 5.2), which is scheduled to take place in Nairobi between February 28 and March 2 and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) 50th anniversary celebrations (UNEP@50) to be held at the agency’s headquarters in Gigiri between March 3 and March 4.
