The Kenya SLCP project titled “the scale and status of Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs) emissions and impacts on women welfare in the global south project” is a 1-year project funded by the ClimateWorks Foundation and aimed at understanding the nature and impacts of short live climate pollutants in 8 counties in Kenya. Specifically, the project assesses black carbon from vehicular emissions(outdoor)in two towns of Nairobi and Nakuru; and from household biomass emissions(indoor)in six counties namely Nandi, Murang’a, Kajiado, Makueni, Taita Taveta and Garissa. The project is funded by ClimateWorks Foundation and is being implemented in collaboration with Kenya Meteorological Society, Joyful Women Organization, Council of Governors and Friedrich Ebert Stiftung.
Project Objectives
To engage sub-national governments and CSOs in identifying gaps and needs on phasing down of Short-Lived Climate Pollutants.
To design and develop a guideline on mainstreaming of the Short-Lived Climate Pollutants to sub-national governments plans, policies and Legislations.
To build the capacity of sub-national governments to enhance the mainstreaming of Short-Lived Climate Pollutants in sub-national governments plans, policies and Legislations.
To build the capacity of civil society to enhance their engagement and influence of Short-Lived Climate Pollutants in climate change policies, plans and programmes
To sensitize sub-national governments and CSOs on the effect of Short-Lived Climate Pollutants on climate change, air quality and Health.
To enhance the technical capacity of the Council of Governors (COG) on Short Lived Climate Pollutants to facilitate their integration and implementation in climate change policies, plans and programmes at sub-national level
To track Kenya’s commitments under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) climate process to identify near-term climate mitigation priorities in Kenya’s national climate commitments by subnational governments and civil society organizations.
To provide directional input to the project and advice the project on linkages with relevant themes such as Just Transition and Climate Resilience.
