Sustainable Inclusive Business > Climate Change and Biodiversity

Climate Change and Biodiversity

A significant disconnect between people and the environment contributes to climate change and resource loss. Kenya, reliant on natural resource-dependent sectors, has set ambitious climate goals, including a 32% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Circular agriculture, water conservation, and renewable energy are key areas of focus. Public-private partnerships and innovative practices aim to enhance resilience and sustainability.

  • Food and Agriculture

    Agriculture contributes significantly to Kenya’s GDP and employment. The sector is vital for food security and is adopting circular practices to improve sustainability. Initiatives like those by the Beyond Cultural Limits Foundation promote sustainable livelihoods and climate-smart agricultural practices.

  • Water

    Water scarcity and unpredictable rainfall are major issues. Sustainable Inclusive Business partners with experts to promote sustainable water consumption and technologies.

  • Energy

    Most African countries rely on fossil fuels, but Kenya has made progress in renewable energy, with 85% of its electricity from renewable sources. Emphasizing renewable energy and regenerative models is crucial for a low-carbon future.
