The impact of climate change continues to be experienced worldwide. Treaties such
as the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) of 1992 and the
UNFCCC Paris Agreement of 2015 demonstrate the value that UN Member States
attach to reaching consensus on climate change mitigation steps. In this thematic
report, the author looks at the issue of climate change mitigation technology transfer
(TT) from a Kenyan perspective, specifically with reference to Kenya’s National
Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP), and to provisions in Kenya’s patent law
that are relevant to TT licensing agreements between foreign and Kenyan entities.
