About the Kenya Climate Change Knowledge Portal
The Kenya Climate Change Knowledge Portal (KCCKP) is the official national platform for climate change information, managed by the Climate Change Directorate under the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry. The portal serves as a one-stop resource for climate data, policy documents, research, and tools to support evidence-based climate action across Kenya.
Climate Change Directorate
The Climate Change Directorate (CCD) is Kenya's lead government agency on climate change, established under the Climate Change Act of 2016. The Directorate coordinates national climate change plans and actions, providing technical support to sectors and counties while ensuring Kenya meets its international climate commitments.
As the national focal point to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), CCD leads Kenya's engagement in international climate negotiations and oversees the implementation of the Paris Agreement commitments nationally.
