Kenya will require $45 billion in international support—largely through carbon trading and investment—to meet its updated NDC goals for the 2031–2035 period.The total funding required for emissions reduction and environmental resilience measures is estimated at $56 billion. According to the Kenyan government, 20% of this can be met through domestic resources, while the remaining 80% depends on external support, including “finance, investments, technology development and transfer, and capacity building, as well as participation in carbon markets”, said Deborah Barasa, Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Forestry & related sectors. Key areas for investment include clean energy in agriculture and industry, low-emission transportation systems and sustainable land use. Kenya also plans to maintain a list of priority sectors and to set annual implementation targets in order to support its position in international markets
