How can innovative land-sea planning secure a sustainable and resilient future for Kenya's coastline? In partnership with the European Union, the Kenyan government is driving a blue economy agenda, focusing on activities like data centers, marine conservation, and land-sea planning guidelines. This initiative prioritizes employment, ecosystem protection, and inclusivity, offering a replicable model for Kenya's counties and beyond.
