Second Implementation Status Report for the FY 2019/2020

The report details Kenya's progress in climate adaptation and mitigation from July 2019 to June 2020. Key achievements include the distribution of climate information services to over 2.5 million people, the accreditation of Kenya Commercial Bank with the Green Climate Fund, and the climate-proofing of over 3,000 km of roads. However, implementation was hindered by the Covid-19 pandemic, a desert locust invasion, and weak coordinating units at the county level. The document recommends ring-fencing climate finance and adopting a biennial reporting cycle to improve efficiency.

• Kenya updated its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to increase its target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 32% by 2030 relative to a business-as-usual scenario of 143 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, up from 30% in 2016.
• In disaster risk management, the Kenya Meteorological Department reached a cumulative total of 2,562,503 people with climate information services, and 3,468 flood early warnings were issued during the reporting period.
• Agricultural adaptation efforts saw 382,929 farmers access climate-oriented crop insurance and 134,808 farmers access appropriate agricultural inputs, though irrigation expansion was low, increasing by only 2,035 hectares.
• Water sector achievements include the construction of over 630 boreholes and the rehabilitation of 559 hectares of mangrove forests to protect the coastline.
• Forestry and wildlife progress included the restoration of 47,117 hectares of degraded forests within rangelands and the conservation of 2,071 hectares of wildlife habitats during the 2019-2020 period.
• In the energy sector, over 80% of electricity generation now comes from renewable sources, and 102 MW of additional renewable electricity was generated, including the 100 MW Kipeto wind project.
• Transport infrastructure climate-proofing reached 3,098 km of roads, with 1,570.4 km completed by the Kenya National Highways Authority and 1,528 km by county governments.
• Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) became the first financial intermediary in East Africa to be accredited by the Green Climate Fund, enabling it to front projects between USD 50 million and USD 250 million.
• The reporting process identified significant implementation barriers, including the diversion of funds to address the Covid-19 pandemic and a desert locust invasion that affected 26 counties.
• Institutional challenges include weak or non-existent climate change coordinating units, particularly at the county level, and poor coordination leading to duplication of efforts.
