The Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS), in partnership with FSD Africa, is convening a National Stakeholder Consultation Workshop on ISO 14060, bringing together key stakeholders to strengthen understanding and implementation of standards supporting climate action, greenhouse gas management and credible climate-related information.
