Kenya has one of the most dynamic economies in Africa, yet it is facing a number of pressing economic, environmental and social challenges. From climate change and natural resource depletion to high poverty rates and rising unemployment, the country is addressing these concerns through its commitment to a low-carbon and resource-efficient development pathway.
Kenya’s objective to build a green economy is reflected in its recent Medium-Term Development Plan (2013-2017) which endorsed the development of a national green economy strategy and explicitly focuses on green growth opportunities through renewable exploitation, carbon credits, clean production systems, and an integrated “Green Jobs Approach”.
