National Stakeholders Identification (Kenya)

[GCRI]

Welcome to the National Stakeholders Identification Thread for Kenya!
This thread identifies and maps key stakeholders across sectors to support climate action, disaster risk reduction (DRR), biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development efforts in Kenya. We aim to engage relevant actors to mobilize climate finance and strengthen partnerships for the Global Risks Forum 2025 and other global frameworks, including the Santiago Network for Loss and Damage.

How You Can Contribute: Identify Stakeholders Across the Quintuple Helix Framework
1- Academia and Research: Universities, think tanks, and research institutions focusing on sustainability, climate policy, DRR, and biodiversity in Kenya.
Example: Institutions like the University of Nairobi, Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), and think tanks such as the African Centre for Technology Studies (ACTS).

2- Industry and Business: Corporations, startups, and financial institutions involved in renewable energy, green technologies, and climate finance.
Example: Solar energy companies, startups promoting clean cooking technologies, banks offering green loans, and agribusinesses implementing sustainable practices.

3- Civil Society and NGOs: Non-profits, advocacy groups, and community organizations working on conservation, disaster risk reduction, and sustainable development.
Example: NGOs like Green Belt Movement, WWF-Kenya, and grassroots community organizations involved in reforestation and climate adaptation.

4- Government and Public Sector: National and county government agencies involved in climate policy, environmental regulations, and disaster management.
Example: Ministry of Environment and Forestry, Kenya Meteorological Department, and National Disaster Management Unit (NDMU).

5- Natural Environment: Organizations managing ecosystems, protected areas, and promoting biodiversity conservation across Kenya.
Example: Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), community conservancies, and initiatives to protect endangered species such as elephants and rhinos.
