Kenya and Uganda have significantly increased their climate-related budget allocations in the 2026/27 financial year, signalling a growing fiscal response to escalating floods, droughts, wetland degradation and climate-linked infrastructure losses.
Kenya has raised its climate-related allocation to Ksh124.8 billion ($960 million) in 2026/27, from Ksh103.8 billion ($798 million) in 2025/26, reversing a previous budget contraction and restoring climate spending to a higher priority in national planning.
