Kenya Green Building Society in collaboration with the State Department of Public Works is supporting the implementation of Kenyaโ€™s National Buildings and Construction Decarbonisation Roadmap a key milestone in advancing low-carbon and climate-resilient development within the built environment sector.

The programme, supported through the Global Buildings Performance Network (GBPN) under WorldGBCโ€™s global transition roadmap initiative, aims to strengthen collaboration between government, industry, and finance to accelerate sustainable building practices and green investment mobilisation.

The roadmap represents an important shift from climate planning to practical implementation, positioning Kenya among the leading African countries driving measurable action toward building decarbonisation and resilient urban development.

As the built environment continues to play a critical role in climate action, collaborative initiatives such as this are essential in shaping sustainable, future-ready communities.

Todayโ€™s discussions at the KGBS technical workshop on Green Building Standards & Certification as a Finance Enabler have surfaced an important reality:

The challenge is no longer proving that green buildings work.

The real challenge is translating green performance into finance logic, risk pricing, incentives, and investable market systems.

Across the room, stakeholders identified key barriers slowing capital flow into green buildings, including:

โ–ช๏ธ Limited market understanding of green value
โ–ช๏ธ Lack of local performance data and evidence
โ–ช๏ธ High perceived upfront costs
โ–ช๏ธ Limited financial incentives for developers
โ–ช๏ธ Weak blended finance and catalytic funding structures
โ–ช๏ธ Regulatory and policy gaps
โ–ช๏ธ Weak consumer demand
โ–ช๏ธ Fragmented ecosystem coordination

But this workshop is not just about identifying challenges.

It is about building solutions.

KGBS, together with financial institutions, developers, policymakers, and industry experts, is actively working to shape practical frameworks that can:

โœ”๏ธ Link certification to financial decision-making
โœ”๏ธ Improve risk assessment models
โœ”๏ธ Strengthen green finance products
โœ”๏ธ Build investor confidence through market data
โœ”๏ธ Unlock catalytic and blended finance
โœ”๏ธ Accelerate scalable low-carbon development in Kenya

The conversations happening today are designed to directly inform actionable financing mechanisms, policy recommendations, and investment strategies under the Kenya Buildings Decarbonisation Funding Accelerator.

This is how markets are transformed through collaboration, evidence, and implementation-focused dialogue.

Convened by the Kenya Green Building Society in collaboration with the Global Buildings Performance Network (GBPN), this session brings together financial institutions, developers, policymakers, and built environment experts to explore how green building standards and certification can unlock sustainable finance and accelerate low-carbon development in Kenya.

Discussions will focus on:
โœ”๏ธ Risk assessment and underwriting
โœ”๏ธ Green finance products and sustainable mortgages
โœ”๏ธ Climate-resilient and low-carbon developments
โœ”๏ธ Building a pipeline of bankable green projects
โœ”๏ธ Unlocking investment for sustainable buildings
The workshop forms part of the Kenya Buildings Decarbonisation Funding Accelerator and contributes to the implementation of Kenyaโ€™s National Buildings Decarbonisation and Resilience Roadmap under the UHAI Coalition.
We look forward to meaningful discussions, collaboration, and actionable solutions that will shape the future of sustainable buildings and green finance in Kenya.
