Through its Energy Environment and Climate Change Unit(EECCU) UNDP seeks to support Kenya meet its obligations to international environment agreements while enhancing the contribution of natural resources and the environment to poverty reduction and sustainable socio-economic development. UNDP seeks to realize this by supporting the government to develop of appropriate policies, strategies, tools and innovative programs that integrate environment into national planning and budgeting processes together with promoting effective management of natural resources for production and income diversification. Within UNDP’s special mandate of furthering agenda for sustainable development, we assist Kenya in the domestication of Multilateral Environment Agreements and Conventions through development of projects that build capacity at grassroots county and national levels under various funding facilities.

UNDP focuses on four main environmental areas namely; Climate Change (both adaptation and mitigation), Natural Resource Management (Sustainable land Management, Forestry and Biodiversity/Wildlife), Sustainable Energy Access (both at upstream policy levels and downstream community based levels). In the recent past, the unit has been working to develop projects around sound chemical management through the Global Environmental Facility(GEF)
