Kenya highlights the role of circular economy approaches in advancing NBSAP implementation
Kenya’s participation in the 2025 Kenya Circular Economy Conference reinforced the importance of circular practices in supporting national biodiversity priorities and advancing progress toward the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF). Discussions during the event emphasized that circularity goes beyond waste management and plays a direct role in reducing pressure on ecosystems by promoting reuse, recycling, and more efficient resource use across sectors.
These principles align closely with the commitments outlined in Kenya’s National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP), where reducing environmental impacts from consumption and production is a key component of achieving national biodiversity outcomes. By strengthening circular systems, Kenya is better positioned to support nature-positive development pathways and contribute to long-term ecological resilience.
The event further highlighted the importance of collaboration across government institutions, private sector actors, civil society, and communities to scale circular approaches that contribute to national environmental objectives. As Kenya continues implementing its NBSAP, circular economy practices will remain an important lever for reducing ecosystem pressures and supporting sustainable development.

The NBSAP Accelerator Partnership is a country-led initiative that supports the implementation of NBSAPs to collectively achieve the goals and targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. It is co-chaired by Colombia and Germany, supported by the governments of Germany, Norway, Canada and France, and coordinated by a Global Coordination Unit hosted by the Secretariat of the CBD, UNDP and UNEP.
