Nairobi, Kenya — Kenya has officially launched a National Carbon Registry aimed at strengthening transparency and accountability in the country’s carbon credit market.
The registry will track carbon offset projects and credit transactions to ensure accurate reporting and verification. Officials say the platform will help protect local communities participating in climate-related projects while increasing investor confidence.
Kenya has positioned itself as a key player in Africa’s climate finance landscape. The new registry is expected to streamline project approvals and align Kenya’s carbon market with global standards.
Environmental groups have welcomed the move but emphasize the need for robust oversight to ensure communities benefit fairly from carbon initiatives.
