Kenya MPs warn climate funding gap threatens adaptation projects
The Clerk of the Senate, Jeremiah Nyegenye, at Parliament Buildings on May 7, 2026 during a Parliament–Media Breakfast Dialogue on Methane Emissions in Kenya.
Kenya is struggling to secure adequate climate financing, with MPs warning of a disconnect between donor pledges, funds received and tangible results at the grassroots. The country requires $62 billion (KSh9 trillion) over the decade to 2030, yet only a fraction has been mobilised, raising fears that adaptation projects could stall despite new laws and strategies to cut emissions.
The amount comprises $3.36 billion which the Kenyan government has committed to provide through domestic sources. The remaining amount, about 80 percent, is expected to come from global partners.
