The EarthnaSummit2025 is a global event that brings together world leaders to promote concerted efforts for environmental, social, and economic sustainability and future prosperity.
In particular, the 2025 event focused on sustainability in hot and arid areas.
Following the post by Charlene, Kenyans on social media expressed their opinions regarding the engagement.
Some of the online users congratulated President William Ruto's daughter for using her platform to push for youth agendas.
"I know you've got a plan. We will win together as youth," Rodgers Koech posted on his X account.
On the other hand, others also expressed their concerns about how the youth's voices were not being taken into consideration by the Ruto government.
"The voices are loud. The cries are so loud that they need not be amplified. But who is there to listen? None," Bedan Kamau opined.
