We designed this study to assess Kenya’s greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation initiatives using a comparative case-study approach, drawing on international reports, national policies, and project-level evaluations. The results indicate that renewable energy projects such as Lake Turkana and Olkaria V deliver substantial emission reductions, forestry-based REDD+ initiatives including Kasigau and Chyulu Hills sequester millions of tons of CO₂ annually, and agricultural interventions reduce nitrous oxide and methane emissions while enhancing productivity. At the same time, voluntary carbon market projects such as Carbon for Water reveal weaknesses in adoption and verification. The overall effects of these initiatives demonstrate Kenya’s integrated approach to climate action, combining technological innovation, community engagement, and policy alignment. This study is intended to provide lessons for the Global South, highlighting Kenya’s balance of climate mitigation and inclusive development while emphasizing the need for stronger monitoring and participatory frameworks.
