Kenya has launched a new roadmap targeting a significant reduction in the building sector's emissions and household energy bills.

• The Kenya National Buildings and Construction Decarbonization Roadmap (2026–2040) aims for net-zero buildings by 2040 and could cut typical household electricity bills by nearly 50%.
• Key players include Public Works Principal Secretary Joel Arumonyang and organizations like the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Global Buildings Performance Network (GBPN).
• This initiative aligns with Kenya's commitment to the Paris Agreement and its updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), aiming to reduce building sector emissions by 67%.
