President Ruto is actively pursuing initiatives to capitalize on Kenya’s vast forest and wetland coverage, aiming to develop projects that expand the carbon market in this sector.

Recognizing the potential of agriculture in climate-smart practices, the Kenya Kwanza administration is promoting growth in this sector, aligning with market interest and government efforts to boost food production and economic development.

The government is focusing on reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the industrial sector, particularly in cement manufacturing, through the adoption of energy-efficient technologies and practices, in line with recommendations to mitigate environmental impact.

With attention to waste management, Ruto’s administration is emphasizing initiatives to capitalize on Kenya’s large waste volume, including efforts outlined in the Sustainable Waste Management Act (2022), to promote composting, methane recovery, and other waste management solutions.

Recent government initiatives, such as the launch of the Cemtech Clinker Factory in West Pokot County, reflect Ruto’s broader environmental strategy, which encompasses efforts to address environmental impact across various sectors, including industry, agriculture, and waste management.
