Current Trends in Environmental Assessment and Resource Management in Kenya (2025).
Kenya is experiencing significant advancements in environmental assessment and resource management, driven by regulatory reforms, technological innovations, and a growing commitment to sustainability. These developments are shaping the way projects are planned and executed across various sectors.
1. Strengthening of Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs).
Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) have become more rigorous, ensuring that projects comply with the Environmental Management and Coordination Act (EMCA) and National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) guidelines. Industries are now required to conduct comprehensive EIAs to identify potential environmental risks and implement mitigation measures. This process not only safeguards ecosystems but also fosters community engagement and sustainable development. polucon.com
2. Implementation of Carbon Markets Regulations.
In 2024, Kenya introduced the Climate Change (Carbon Markets) Regulations, providing a legal framework for carbon trading projects. These regulations aim to facilitate greenhouse gas emissions reduction and support the country’s commitments under the Paris Agreement. Projects must undergo environmental audits and obtain certifications to ensure compliance with international standards. EY+1BIICL+1BIICL
