Carbon markets are no longer a future prospect for Kenya but a present reality. Project pipelines are growing, bilateral partnerships are deepening, and the world is watching how Kenya is positioning itself in the carbon markets space.
The Government of Kenya is pleased to announce the official release of the Kenya Guide for Strategic Engagement in Carbon Markets 2026, a landmark instrument that operationalizes Kenya's approach to Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.
The Guide has been developed to provide predictability to decision-making through clear, transparent, and consistent criteria at every stage of the process. It signals where Kenya is open for business through the whitelist, attracting investments that align with the NDC, while safeguarding the integrity, credibility, and long-term value of its carbon market for investors and the country alike.
Kenya welcomes high-integrity, high-value carbon market cooperation that is built on trust, environmental integrity, and long-lasting benefit for the people of Kenya.
