EIK MEMBERS’ INPUT ON THE DRAFT NATIONAL ENVIRONMENT POLICY, 2026
Following the launch of the Draft National Environment Policy, 2026 on 1st October 2026 by the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry, through the State Department for Environment and Climate Change, the Environment Institute of Kenya invites its members and environmental professionals to review the Draft Policy and provide their professional input.
The Draft National Environment Policy, 2026 provides an important framework for strengthening environmental governance and addressing emerging environmental and climate-related challenges in Kenya. As environmental professionals, our collective expertise, experience, and perspectives are important in ensuring that the Policy is practical, inclusive, responsive, and reflective of the realities of environmental practice in Kenya.
The Institute therefore encourages members to actively participate in the public consultation process to ensure that the views, experiences, and professional interests of environmental practitioners are well represented in the review and finalization of the Policy.
