Kenya has launched the National Carbon Registry, a new digital platform aimed at boosting transparency and accountability in the country's climate action and participation in international carbon markets. This move is expected to safeguard national interests and accelerate sustainable development through verified carbon transactions.

• The Registry addresses previous issues such as double-counting of credits and limited oversight in Kenya's carbon market activities.
• Environment Cabinet Secretary Deborah Barasa described the Registry as a historic milestone, stating Kenya's climate ambitions are now "measurable and verifiable."
• The system will track and verify all carbon transactions across various sectors, ensuring that revenue from carbon credits benefits communities and supports national development priorities.
