During the Sustainability and Climate Action Breakfast held at Karura Forest in Nairobi, experts highlighted the need for Kenya's sustainability efforts to extend beyond mere climate change mitigation. They emphasized the importance of integrating governance reforms, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, and sustainable finance to foster inclusive economic growth. The forum was a collaborative effort of policymakers, corporate heads, financiers, and innovators, focusing on ways to transition from climate awareness to actual tangible actions.

Capital Group's Managing Director, Symon Bargurei, articulated that sustainability should not merely be viewed as a corporate social responsibility initiative but must be recognized as a critical strategic priority for economic and governance advancement. He illustrated this by stating the forum's unique location at Karura Forest, symbolizing its connection to the ongoing climate and sustainability discussions across the region. He emphasized that immediate and substantial actions are required to address the pressing challenges posed by climate change.

Moreover, Bargurei pointed out that climate change is profoundly altering the economic landscape in Kenya, suggesting that the country needs to proactively adapt to these changes. He underscored the urgency of integrating comprehensive sustainability measures into Kenya's development plans as part of a broader effort to build resilience against climate-related impacts and ensure a sustainable future for Kenyans. This call to action reflects a growing recognition among leaders about the imperative of embedding sustainability into the core of economic and governance frameworks.
