NATIONALLY APPROPRIATE MITIGATION ACTION (NAMA) TO ACCELERATE GEOTHERMAL POWER: LESSONS FROM KENYA This brief focuses on the challenges of developing NAMA,and highlights lessons learned for
the future, both in Kenya and globally CONTENTS * Abstract * Citation * Links ABSTRACT The Government of Kenya has ambitions to significantly expand its power supply from geothermal sources
to underpin low-carbon, climate-resilient development, as encapsulated in its National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP). Although progress has been made, greater private sector involvement
is needed to keep the goal within reach. Kenya has developed a Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) to mobilise private investment by channelling targeted international climate
finance and technical support. After introducing the context and objectives of Kenya’s geothermal NAMA, this brief focuses on the challenges faced in the process of developing the NAMA, and
highlights lessons learned and recommendations for future NAMA development, both in Kenya and globally. CITATION Falzon, J.; Pols, D.; King S.; Wangombe, E. Nationally Appropriate Mitigation
