In an important first for Africa, emissions data 'made in Kenya' | Thomson Reuters Foundation
Research centre is expected to generate more cost-effective and precise greenhouse gas emissions measurements
CGIAR Climate's insight:
CIFOR scientist Mariana Rufino sees the climate change work being done in Kenya as part of an effort to provide Kenya with support for its National Climate Change Action Plan, drawn up in 2013. In addition to the crucial data that can be produced and analyzed thanks to the sophisticated equipment in the lab, which she said can improve the quality of data and thus the greenhouse gas inventories, it will also provide an extremely important training ground for young technicians and scientists from Kenya and elsewhere in Africa.
