Environment and climate change Sector

Through PFM advocacy, LRBH links environmental and climate resilience to sustainable budgeting in climate-vulnerable Lake Region counties, supporting Kenya's Second NDC for 35% emissions reduction by 2035. Interventions focus on sectoral analysis and resource mobilization for green initiatives, including tracking climate finance in agriculture and health via county budgets. At the 12th LREB Summit in 2024, LRBH connected stakeholders to prioritize low- emission power and transport, countering declining public concern (from 42% in 2022 to 30% in 2025). Partnerships with CSOs enable public participation in carbon registry regulations and renewable energy investments, fostering African-led solutions ahead of COP30. These efforts enhance transparency in climate-relevant expenditures, per the 2021 Landscape of Climate Finance in Kenya report.
