Kenya Strengthens Partnership with UNDP on Climate Action and Biodiversity Agenda The Principal Secretary for Environment and Climate Change, Dr. @Eng_F_Ngeno, today hosted a high-level delegation from the United Nations Development Programme Kenya, led by Resident Representative Jean-Luc Stalon for discussions aimed at deepening strategic collaboration on key environmental and climate priorities. The meeting focused on strengthening partnerships to advance Kenya’s climate action agenda, environmental sustainability, and biodiversity conservation. Among the key highlights was the progress of the IMKA Gold Project, implemented by UNDP Kenya across Kakamega, Vihiga, Narok, and Migori counties. With the project set to conclude in May 2026, the PS noted that significant milestones have been achieved, and the project sites are on course for formal commissioning during the programme’s close-out phase. The United Nations Development Programme supported data collection efforts by deploying trained enumerators to climate-vulnerable hotspots, with the aim of facilitating access to the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD) under the Barbados Implementation Modalities. The Principal Secretary underscored the importance of leveraging the data collected to inform Kenya’s initial report on this phenomenon, building on assessments conducted in 2020. Further, the PS welcomed UNDP’s leadership in convening the upcoming BIOFIN Conference scheduled for 28th April 2026. The conference will bring together government officials, technical experts, and stakeholders to accelerate implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Key focus areas include revising National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs), aligning national targets, mobilizing financing, and mainstreaming biodiversity across sectors such as agriculture. Dr. Ngeno invited UNDP to partner with the State Department in several upcoming national and global environmental engagements. These include the International Day for Biological Diversity to be marked on 22nd May 2026 in Elgeyo Marakwet, where the CHERISH Restoration Programme spearheaded by Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen will be launched. Additional events include the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought to be held on 17th June 2026 in Kilifi County, and the Oceans Conference scheduled for 16th–18th June 2026 in Mombasa, as well as the ongoing finalization of Kenya’s NBSAP. Under the transformative MFC-ICLIP programme, the PS extended an invitation to UNDP to support the second edition of the Mau Conservation Marathon, scheduled for 3rd July 2026 in Kuresoi. The marathon remains a flagship initiative aimed at mobilizing resources and public participation for the restoration of the Mau Forest ecosystem.

Kenya Deepens Strategic Engagement with UNEP to Advance Global Environmental Agreements Kenya has reaffirmed its commitment to accelerating the implementation of Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) and strengthening its leadership in global environmental governance following a high-level strategic engagement with the United Nations Environment Programme. The UNEP delegation was led by Dr. Susan Gardner, Director of the Ecosystems Division, reflecting the significance of the engagement and the strong collaboration between Kenya and UNEP. Speaking during the meeting, Principal Secretary for Environment and Climate Change, Dr. Eng. Festus Ng’eno, underscored the importance of Kenya’s longstanding partnership with UNEP, which is headquartered in Nairobi. He described the collaboration as both strategic and transformative, positioning Kenya as a hub for environmental innovation, capacity building, and leadership in Africa. “Kenya values its uniquely privileged relationship with UNEP. This partnership continues to serve as a beacon for South-South cooperation and a platform for translating global environmental commitments into tangible national impact,” he said. The discussions focused on enhancing collaboration across key global environmental frameworks, including the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Nairobi Convention, the BBNJ Agreement, and the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification. Kenya highlighted significant progress in aligning its National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) with the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, with support from UNEP and the Global Environment Facility. The country is updating its biodiversity targets, strengthening monitoring systems, and enhancing multi-stakeholder engagement, including indigenous communities, while finalizing its 7th National Report to the CBD and its first report to the Nagoya Protocol. Under the Nairobi Convention, Kenya continues to play a leading role in protecting the Western Indian Ocean through programmes such as WIOSAP and SAPPHIRE, which have strengthened marine spatial planning, reduced land-based pollution, and supported the restoration of mangroves and coral reef ecosystems along the Kenyan coast. Kenya is now seeking to scale up these gains through a post-SAPPHIRE phase focused on climate-proofing marine protected areas and strengthening ocean monitoring systems. Kenya also outlined its proactive role in implementing the BBNJ Agreement following its participation in PrepCom III and ongoing preparations for the first Conference of the Parties (COP1). The country emphasized the need to strengthen national capacity in marine science and technology, align domestic legal frameworks with international obligations, and reinforce Africa’s voice in global ocean governance. On land restoration, Kenya is advancing its Land Degradation Neutrality Target Setting Programme 2.0 under the UNCCD to support drought resilience and food security. The country will also host the global observance of World Desertification and Drought Day 2026 in Kilifi County, providing an opportunity to showcase leadership in sustainable land management and mobilize international support for dryland restoration. Preparations are also underway for UNCCD COP17, including the establishment of a Technical Working Group to harmonize reporting across the Rio Conventions. Kenya called on UNEP to deepen its technical support in key areas, including biodiversity monitoring frameworks, capacity building for BBNJ implementation, and alignment of land restoration programmes with global standards. The country also emphasized the importance of integrated approaches that link climate action, biodiversity conservation, and land restoration, while unlocking opportunities in the blue economy. facebook.com/share/p/17Q8up…

Kenya Strengthens Climate Action and Environmental Governance through High-Level Consultative Meeting Kenya has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening environmental governance and advancing climate action following a high-level virtual consultative meeting convened by the Head of Public Service and Chief of Staff, @koske_felix. The meeting brought together senior officials from the Ministry of @Environment_Ke, heads of agencies, board chairpersons, technical experts and field officers from across the country. In his address, Mr. Koskei commended staff for their continued dedication in safeguarding the country’s natural resources, acknowledging that much of their work takes place behind the scenes but remains vital to Kenya’s future. He noted encouraging progress in ecosystem restoration, forest cover growth and increasing public awareness on environmental conservation, and emphasized the importance of building on these gains in line with the government’s priorities under the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA). He observed that the environment, forestry and climate change sectors play an important role in supporting Kenya’s economic transformation, resilience and sustainable development. In this regard, he highlighted the national programme to grow 15 billion trees by 2032, noting that the initiative seeks not only to increase tree cover but also to support ecosystem restoration, protect water towers, conserve biodiversity and create green jobs, particularly for young people. While Kenya has surpassed the constitutional requirement of 10 percent forest cover and now stands at over 12 percent, Mr. Koskei noted that there is still more to be done in addressing deforestation, land degradation and climate-related challenges. He pointed out that a significant portion of the country remains arid and semi-arid, making it vulnerable to climate variability and environmental shocks. The Head of Public Service also highlighted Kenya’s continued leadership in global climate action, including its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 32 percent by 2030 under its Nationally Determined Contributions. He emphasized the importance of strengthening coordination, enhancing data systems, supporting effective policy implementation and mobilizing climate finance to achieve these goals. He noted that climate change continues to present real challenges, including prolonged droughts, erratic rainfall and occasional flooding, which impact key sectors such as agriculture, water and energy. He also referenced ongoing initiatives such as the restoration of the Nairobi River, underscoring the value of sustained collaboration, improved waste management and collective responsibility in ensuring their success. Mr. Koskei encouraged institutions to continue strengthening implementation, enhancing coordination and focusing on measurable outcomes. He observed that while significant efforts are being made, there is an opportunity to place greater emphasis on long-term impact, including tree survival rates and sustained ecosystem restoration. He further emphasized the importance of maintaining high standards of professionalism, integrity and accountability in service delivery, noting that citizens value tangible improvements such as access to clean water, reduced pollution and well-protected natural resources. He called for continued collaboration across institutions and alignment with national priorities to enhance service delivery. During the meeting, Principal Secretary for @EnviClimateC_Ke, Dr. @Eng_F_Ngeno reaffirmed the State Department’s commitment to advancing Kenya’s climate and environmental agenda. He outlined key priorities under Executive Order No. 1 of June 2025, including strengthening environmental governance, promoting conservation and restoration of wetlands, mobilizing resources for climate action and enhancing research and development in climate and weather services. 👇👇 facebook.com/share/p/1CG5v6…

𝗞𝗲𝗻𝘆𝗮 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗮𝘄𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮 Environment and Climate Change Principal Secretary, Dr. Eng. Festus K. Ng’eno has said the state department is accelerating a series of legislative and policy reforms aimed at reinforcing Kenya’s environmental governance and climate action framework. “According to the Department’s latest portfolio of ongoing Government Legislative Agenda initiatives, several priority regulations and policy reviews are at advanced stages, signaling a strong commitment to aligning the country’s legal framework with emerging global climate trends and national development priorities”. At the centre of the reforms is the review of the National Environment Policy (2013), which is currently in its initial stages. The review seeks to update the policy to reflect changes in Kenya’s governance landscape while strengthening the integration of environmental considerations into planning at both national and county levels. The State Department is also spearheading the development of key regulations under the Climate Change Act to operationalize Kenya’s climate commitments. Among these are the Climate Change (Non-Market Approaches) Regulations, 2026, which have already been published, with proposed amendments submitted for formal drafting. These regulations are expected to facilitate international cooperation under Article 6.8 of the Paris Agreement and support the implementation of Kenya’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Other critical frameworks in progress include the Carbon Trading Regulations, 2026 and the Carbon Registry Regulations, 2026, both currently undergoing pre-publication scrutiny in Parliament. These are designed to establish transparent and efficient systems for managing carbon markets and tracking carbon projects across the country. In addition, the Climate Change Fund Regulations, 2026 is under technical development. The proposed fund aims to mobilize financial resources including loans, grants, and equity to support climate adaptation and mitigation efforts, promote green innovation, and provide technical assistance to county governments. Beyond climate finance and markets, the government is also prioritizing ecosystem protection through the Environmental Management and Coordination (Wetlands) Regulations, 2026, which are currently under parliamentary review. These regulations seek to enhance the conservation, restoration, and sustainable management of wetlands while integrating their protection into land use planning and national development strategies. Further, the PS said the Strategic and Integrated Environmental Assessment and Environmental Audit Regulations, 2026 aim to strengthen oversight of projects, policies, and programmes that may have environmental impacts, ensuring that sustainability considerations are embedded across all sectors. On her part, Parliamentary Affairs Principal Secretary Ms Aurelia Rono expressed satisfaction with the progress made, noting that various State Departments have significantly contributed to the realization of the national development agenda through diverse, targeted policies, initiatives, and interventions. “The document remains dynamic, continually evolving to respond to emerging issues. As of March 2026, we have recorded a total of 1,308 initiatives across the national government. These comprise 671 statutory instruments, 290 policy initiatives, and 388 state initiatives”. She affirmed. Once enacted, the reforms are expected to significantly enhance Kenya’s capacity to respond to climate change, safeguard critical ecosystems, and promote sustainable economic growth. PS Ng’eno was accompanied by @NETFUNDkenya CEO, Mr Samson Toniok, @necc_kenya Secretary Ms. Mary Njogu, Head Legal Unit Ms Linah Meeme, Parliamentary Liaison Officer Mr Rodney Omari among others.

I held a consultative virtual meeting with officials of the State Department for Forestry and the State Department for Environment and Climate Change, led by the respective Principal Secretaries, together with NEMA, NETFUND, KMD, KFS, and KEFRI, to enhance delivery and review progress across the sector. This engagement forms part of the ongoing Re-energisation and Revitalisation of the Public Service, with a clear focus on improving performance and delivering timely, quality services to wananchi. We agreed on key priorities: • Review of progress under the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda, with focus on accelerating delivery of the 15 billion tree growing programme • Shift to measurable outcomes, with emphasis on tree survival, ecosystem restoration, and livelihoods for communities dependent on natural resources • Firm and consistent enforcement of environmental laws to protect forests, rivers, and public health • Stronger coordination across institutions to eliminate silos and fast-track implementation • Improved data, monitoring, and reporting to support decision-making and accountability • Sustained multi-agency action on priority programmes, including the Nairobi River restoration, to deliver visible improvements • Delivery of citizen outcomes that are clear and tangible: clean water sources, protected forests, reduced pollution, and stronger climate resilience I emphasised the need to accelerate implementation, strengthen accountability, and maintain a results-driven approach across the sector. Implementation of agreed priorities and Government programmes is not optional. Our focus must remain on visible, measurable outcomes that improve livelihoods, restore public confidence, and secure our environment for future generations.

Happening Now: Staff of the State Department for Environment and Climate Change are currently participating in an online consultative meeting convened by the Head of Public Service and Chief of Staff, Felix Koskei, in a renewed push to strengthen environmental governance and enhance public service delivery across the sector. The meeting, which brings together officials from the State Departments of Environment and Climate Change and Forestry, is being led by Principal Secretaries Festus K. Ng’eno and Gitonga Mugambi, who are guiding staff on aligning institutional performance with constitutional obligations and national priorities. The engagement is anchored on the Constitution of Kenya, particularly the provisions that define the role of public service in delivering environmental outcomes. Participants are reflecting on Article 10, which obligates state organs and public officers to uphold national values such as integrity, transparency, accountability, inclusiveness and the rule of law, as well as Article 42, which guarantees every Kenyan the right to a clean and healthy environment. Article 69 further places responsibility on the State to ensure sustainable management of natural resources, equitable benefit-sharing, public participation and the protection of indigenous knowledge, while also mandating the country to maintain adequate tree cover. At the same time, Article 232 underscores the need for high standards of professional ethics, efficient use of resources, and responsive, equitable and transparent service delivery, reinforcing the central role of public institutions in translating policy into tangible results. Deliberations during the meeting are focused on whether existing laws, policies and public investments are delivering measurable environmental outcomes, with emphasis placed on performance indicators such as forest conservation, landscape restoration, waste management, climate preparedness and inter-institutional coordination. #DeliveringThePlan #ServiceDelivery

Earlier this evening, I undertook a field engagement in Trans Nzoia County to assess the impact of recent climate-related disasters and stand in solidarity with affected communities. This engagement underscores our continued commitment to responsive leadership and sustainable environmental action. I engaged with the resilient community of Kabomoi Ward in Kwanza Sub-County, Trans Nzoia County, where many families have been severely affected by recent floods and landslides. It was a deeply humbling moment to listen, firsthand, to their experiences, challenges, and expectations from government in improving their livelihoods and restoring dignity. Over time, recurring natural disasters have left many households displaced and vulnerable. In line with the Government’s Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda, I extended immediate support through the donation of food supplies, blankets, and mattresses to ease their current hardships. Beyond relief, I took the opportunity to share critical environmental interventions being spearheaded by my Ministry to mitigate such disasters. Central to this is the promotion of tree growing as a sustainable solution to restore ecosystems, stabilize soils, and reduce the risk of floods and landslides. Through the directive of His Excellency the President, we are establishing mega tree nurseries across the country to support the propagation and distribution of seedlings, advancing our national target of planting 15 billion trees by 2032. I also conveyed His Excellency’s message encouraging the community to prepare for his upcoming engagement in Trans Nzoia County and reaffirming that no Kenyan will be left behind in our development journey. I urged the residents to continue fostering unity, working together with leaders, and embracing environmental stewardship as a pathway to resilience and sustainable prosperity. @WilliamsRuto @HonWetangula @KindikiKithure @county0026 @MusaliaMudavadi @Environment_Ke

Today marked a significant milestone in advancing education and community development in Kwanza Constituency. It was a moment of pride and renewed commitment to empowering our young generation especially girls through meaningful investment in education. I had the honour of accompanying H.E. the Speaker of the National Assembly, Moses Wetangula, alongside fellow leaders from Trans Nzoia County, for the official opening of an eight-classroom storey building at St. Francis Kolongolo Girls Senior School. This initiative reflects our shared commitment to strengthening the education sector and providing a conducive learning environment for our students to thrive. I commend the Speaker for this impactful intervention, which will go a long way in uplifting education standards and inspiring young girls to pursue their ambitions with confidence and determination. In my remarks, I underscored the importance of unity among leaders in taking bold and coordinated action to improve livelihoods, create job opportunities, enhance access to quality healthcare, and expand infrastructure ensuring that no Kenyan is left behind. In support of both education and environmental sustainability, I donated sanitary towels, a water tank to support tree nurturing, and 1,000 fruit tree seedlings. I encouraged the students to plant, grow, and protect the trees as part of building resilience and promoting environmental stewardship. I also highlighted the need to address recurring challenges such as flooding and landslides through sustained tree growing efforts. I am delighted to reaffirm my Ministry’s commitment to ensuring that the people of Kwanza Constituency fully benefit from ongoing government programmes, in line with the President’s vision of inclusive and sustainable development. @WilliamsRuto @HonWetangula @county0026 @allan_chesang @MusaliaMudavadi @Environment_Ke
