Kenya is gearing up to attract an estimated $5 billion (Sh646 billion) in investments by 2028 through the establishment of a planned carbon exchange and enhanced carbon trading regulations.

• The target investment figure is $5 billion (Sh646 billion) by 2028.
• The initiative is led by the Nairobi International Financial Centre (NIFC), in collaboration with the Capital Markets Authority (CMA), Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE), and the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK).
• The exchange aims to provide a regulated market for carbon credits, building on the recently launched National Carbon Registry, to boost transparency and investor confidence.
