Kenya submitted its nationally determined contribution, or NDC, on Friday, and experts are impressed.
NDCs are country-specific plans that outline how a country will contribute to the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming. Countries must submit new NDCs every five years.
“Kenya’s NDC demonstrates strong climate ambition, especially for a developing country,” said Joanita Mudambo, a climate and environmental specialist. “If effectively implemented, Kenya’s approach could serve as a blueprint for other African nations balancing climate resilience with development priorities.”
