As the world gathers at Glasgow to evaluate strides on climate action, Kenya Climate Innovation Centre (KCIC) is rallying the private sector in making climate change sustainable in Kenya.

Private sector participation in mitigating climate change is critical and has been acknowledged. Public resources (from domestic and international providers) totaled KES 144.3 billion (59.4%) while investment from the private sector totaled KES 98.9 billion (40.7%). Of this, the domestic private sector contributed around 14%. This is less than half of the financing that Kenya needs annually to meet its targets set out in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC). Private sector should commit to sustainable practices and should play a leading role in the country. There is a need in Kenya for the private sector to come together to share their best practices in mitigating the climate impact.

This is the motive on which Kenya Climate Innovation Centre (KCIC) with the partnership of Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA), Kenya Association Of Manufacturers (KAM), Nation Media Group (NMG), and KCIC Consulting Limited (KCL), is rallying corporate leaders in making climate declarations in Kenya through the initiative, Corporate Commitment on Climate Change in Kenya (4C-Kenya). The 4C-Kenya will be held on 10th November 2021 at Safari Park Hotel to coincide with the COP26 to declare commitments of Kenyan corporates on climate change.
