Kenya’s development is largely dependent on her natural resources’ wealth. As such, periodic assessment of the state of the country’s environment is an important step in the path
to sustainable development. In accordance with the 1999 Environmental Management and Coordination Act (EMCA), the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) is
tasked with preparing annual State of the Environment (SoE) reports for submission to the National Assembly. It is hoped that this report – the seventh and most comprehensive yet
– will enable us to better harness the enormous opportunities that our environment presents and to fill the knowledge gap on the magnitude of the environmental challenges that we have to continually confront.
