SUMMARY:Land Tenure and FPIC in Carbon Projects in Kenya: Perspectives from NRT and Taita Taveta Conservancies
DESCRIPTION:Across Africa\, carbon dioxide removal projects are expanding as part of global climate mitigation efforts. Many of these initiatives are being implemented on community lands\, particularly in rangeland and forest ecosystems. While they offer opportunities for ecosystem restoration\, climate action\, and improved livelihoods\, they also raise important questions around land rights\, governance\, and how communities are involved in decision making. Free\, Prior and Informed Consent is intended to ensure that communities are properly informed and able to make decisions about projects affecting their land. However\, in practice\, it is not always applied as a continuous process. In some cases\, it is treated as a one-time requirement rather than ongoing engagement. This webinar discusses how land tenure and consent are being addressed in practice. It brings together implementation experience\, regulatory perspectives\, and community voices to provide a more grounded understanding of these issues. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of how land tenure shapes project implementation; how consent processes are applied in practice; common gaps in community engagement\, including representation\, understanding of agreements\, and benefit sharing\, and practical ways these challenges can be addressed.

SUMMARY:Technical Dialogue on Early  and Responsible Direct Air  Capture in Kenya
DESCRIPTION:On 4 September 2026\, the DACStorE Project\, in collaboration with GIZ Kenya\, Octavia Carbon\, and Nuvoni Centre for Innovation Research\, will convene a high-level technical dialogue in Nairobi on responsible Direct Air Capture and Storage (DACS) deployment in Kenya. As the first country in the Global South to host two operational DACS projects\, Kenya offers a unique opportunity to examine the enabling conditions\, safeguards\, and governance arrangements needed for scaling carbon removal technologies. The dialogue brings together 30–50 participants\, including government representatives\, researchers\, community members\, civil society\, and technology developers\, to discuss cutting-edge research on DACS technology\, infrastructure\, costs\, and siting; explore the socio-economic opportunities and risks for Kenya and Africa; examine policy and governance frameworks; and address questions of social acceptance and equitable benefit distribution. Through a structured programme of research presentations\, panel discussions\, community testimony\, and breakout sessions\, the dialogue aims to generate practical recommendations for responsible DACS deployment that balances climate action with local development priorities. \nClick here for more details on the concept and program.
