NATIONAL ADAPTATION PLAN (NAP) APPROACH: Enhancing climate resilience to achieve Vision 2030 through economic growth, resilient ecosystems, and sustainable livelihoods.
Summary
Kenya's NAP 2015-2030, led by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, seeks to integrate climate change adaptation into national development planning and budgeting to achieve a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy. The process identifies key climate impacts such as sea level rise, floods, and drought, and prioritizes sectors including agriculture, health, water, and infrastructure. Implementation is supported by the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) II (2018-2022), which serves as the vehicle for delivering both the NAP and the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC).
Key insights
- The Kenyan NAP process, led by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry, focuses on three primary goals: integrating adaptation into national development planning and budgeting, increasing the resilience of public and private investments, and creating synergies between adaptation and mitigation to reach a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy.
- Kenya identifies several key climate change impacts and priority sectors for adaptation. Impacts include sea level rise, floods, drought, rainfall variability, coastal erosion, and wetlands loss. Priority sectors for adaptation are agriculture, fisheries, tourism, disaster risk reduction, health, livestock, forestry, infrastructure, and water.
- The implementation of Kenya's NAP and its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) is driven by the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) II (2018-2022).
