Kenya handed over its new climate plan to the United Nations on April 30, meeting its deadline. The government wants to cut greenhouse gases by 35% before 2035, down from what they would reach without action. They aim to protect people, buildings, systems, and nature from climate harm.
The country plans to pay for 20% of these changes itself, but needs help from other nations for the rest. The whole program will cost about $56 billion, with Kenya covering nearly $10.5 billion. Cabinet Secretary Dr. Barasa said Kenya remains a climate leader, asking for world support.
Many groups across Kenya worked together to create this plan, which goes further than the current national goals running through 2030. Officials will update plans to match this stronger climate vision.
The plan should boost growth and fresh ideas throughout the Kenyan economy. Kenya hopes these actions will lead to better development opportunities for everyone.
