Kenya boasts a strong climate legal framework, but faces significant challenges in translating these laws into effective action, a gap highlighted by Senator Mohamed Faki at the African Parliaments for Climate Action forum.

• The core issue is a gap between policy ambition and practical delivery, particularly in urban centres and climate-vulnerable areas.
• Weak coordination among multiple government agencies, limited funding, and enforcement problems hinder progress on the ground.
• The Financing Locally-Led Climate Action (FLLoCa) program, despite backing from the World Bank and government with approximately Sh38 billion, has faced delays in fund disbursement, impacting implementation.
• Enforcement failures are evident at the Dandora dumpsite in Nairobi, where illegal waste disposal continues to cause severe public health hazards and environmental degradation.
