Tea industry growth in Kenya:
- Tea introduced to Kenya in Limuru in 1903.
- Commercial farming started in 1924.
- Smallholder tea cultivation started in 1950’s.
- First small holder tea factory established in Nyeri in 1957 (Ragati TF).
- Special Crops Development Authority established in 1960.

The role of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)
Developed
countries can
reduce emissions
anywhere in the
world
They can count
these reductions
towards their own
targets
CDM allows
developed countries
to generate ‘carbon
credits’ (Certified
Emission
Reductions, CERs)
in developing
countries
Advantages for developed
countries:
relatively low-cost &
politically acceptable
Advantages for developing
countries:
inward investment,
environmental & technology
benefits

CDM projects out look - Africa is struggling …
• 4 countries (China, India, Brazil and South
Korea) account for 70% of CDM projects and
80% of CERs through to 2012
• Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 2% of
registered projects and 5% of CERs through
to 2012
• 88 non-Annex 1 countries have yet to benefit
from any registered CDM project activity

What in Conference of Parties (COP)?
Internationally, the global response to climate change is guided
by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
(UNFCCC) through the COP framework. COP meetings are held
every year (...around Dec). The last was held in Cancun, Mexico.
This year, the meeting will be held D
Kenya’s aspiration in the COP framework is to engage in the
UNFCCC process with a view of securing a binding, multi-lateral
international agreement that is, Inclusive, fair and effective - with
a view of balancing priority between adaptation and mitigation
responses; with an appropriate development - climate response
balance recognizing development needs of developing countries
