v 2.3 Information to facilitate clarity, transparency and understanding
• Timeframe for implementation: Up to 2030. • Scope of gases: CO2, CH4, N2O prioritised. • Sectors covered : IPCC Guidelines - Energy,
Transportation, Industrial Processes, AFOLU and waste sector.
• Methodology for emissions accounting: IPCC Revised 1996 Guidelines for National GHG Inventories and the Good Practice Guidance and Uncertainty Management in National GHG Inventories used to calculate the GHG emissions and removals as described in the SNC.
• Global warming potentials: CO2 equivalent calculated using the 100 year GWPs (IPCC 2nd Assessment Report).
• BAU emissions in the target year: Estimated to be 143 MtCO2eq by 2030.
v 3. Adaptation Component • Kenya will ensure enhanced resilience to
climate change towards the attainment of Vision 2030 by mainstreaming climate change adaptation into the Medium Term Plans (MTPs) and implementing adaptation actions.

Recognises that all sectors are vulnerable Sector-level strategic adaptation actions Lower-level actions to be determined at implementation stage.
• Kenya’s contribution is mere 0.1% of the total global GHG emissions
• Per-capita emissions <1.26 MtCO2eq compared to the global average of 7.58 MtCO2eq.
• Kenya, however, places a high priority on response to climate change and will continue to play its role to contribute to the below 2-degree global mitigation goal.
Key factors in determining the fairness of a contribution should include historical responsibility and respective capability to address climate change. The UNFCCC also recognises that the extent to which developing countries will meet their obligations under the Convention will depend on the level of support available.
v
v 5. Planning process • Mitigation and adaptation Planning process:
– Hinges on the NCCAP and the NAP that shall be reviewed every five years to inform the MTP.
– Takes cognisance of the Climate Change Bill (2014) that proposes several institutional reforms to enhance coordination of climate change adaptation and mitigation.
Means of Implementation: Kenya’s contribution will be implemented with both domestic and international support. USD 40 bn is required for mitigation and adaptation actions across sectors by 2030.
