Kenya has introduced carbon trading regulations capping international sales of emissions reductions at 10 million tonnes until 2030, balancing export potential with domestic climate obligations and emphasising community consent and fair revenue sharing.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Kenya's new carbon market rules shift control over emissions sales into your hands, making you weigh short-term gains against long-term climate commitments and community trust. You need to integrate community consent and fair benefit sharing to avoid backlash that could stall your projects.
