The government says Kenya is creating an enabling environment to inspire confidence in investors and attract carbon finance in the country’s climate-positive growth drive.

Speaking at the Carbon Markets Conference in Nairobi in April, Bianca Gichangi, a carbon markets expert and adviser at the Office of the Climate Envoy, Executive Office of the President of Kenya, said the country has been active in the carbon markets space for more than two decades and is a leader in Africa with around 23 percent market share of voluntary carbon credits issued.
