Green Economy Assessment Report: Kenya
As part of its green economy work, UNEP is conducting green economy assessments for a number of countries.
IISD (Jason Dion) contributed to the underlying analysis and recommendations of a study that looked at the possibility of shifting to a green economy in Kenya. This work included considering the macroeconomic profile of the country and the overarching challenges it faces, looking at the existing policy landscape in the country and analyzing particular sectors. The sectors of agriculture, energy, manufacturing and transport were determined to be of particular importance to the country, and recommendations for the greening of each of these four sectors—as well as recommendations to create strong enabling conditions—are provided.
