Kenya: National State of the Environment Report Vol 2

A national state of the environment report is a report that describes the status of the nation’s environmental system. It provides a baseline against which future changes in the environment could be judged, a documentation of progress made dealing with environmental problems, identification of opportunities where further efforts could be expected to have significant results and an examination of the interrelationship between people, resources, environment and development.

The present report on the State of Environment in Kenya was prepared by the National Environment Secretariat to provide a basic assessment of the environmental situation in Kenya and the problems encountered. Since this is the first report of its kind, it is hoped that will serve as a basic document for wide discussion and exchange of views.
