Adopt A Webinar ADR Talk Series
Webinar Spotlight: Arbitration as a Tool for Achieving Green Growth in Kenya’s Energy & Construction Landscape
As Kenya fast-tracks its transition toward sustainable development, particularly in the energy and construction sectors, arbitration is taking center stage as a key enabler of green growth. To spotlight this crucial role, CIArb Kenya, in partnership with Interconsult Engineers Kenya Ltd., is proud to host the latest edition of our Adopt a Webinar ADR Talk Series under the theme:
“Arbitration as a Tool for Achieving Green Growth Sustainability in Kenya’s Energy & Construction Landscape.”
Why Arbitration Matters for Sustainability
Kenya’s vision for a green, climate-resilient future depends not only on innovation and investment but also on effective governance and dispute resolution. Traditional litigation processes can be slow, expensive, and confrontational ill-suited for the complexity and urgency of sustainable infrastructure projects.
Arbitration offers a compelling alternative. Its efficiency, flexibility, and industry-specific expertise provide a vital platform for resolving disputes without stalling progress on environmentally sensitive initiatives. By allowing parties to select neutral experts with deep understanding of technical and regulatory frameworks, arbitration ensures that decisions are grounded in both legal and environmental realities.
Supporting Green Investment & Collaboration
In long-term sustainability projects, maintaining strong working relationships is key. Arbitration’s collaborative and confidential nature protects commercial interests and sensitive data, giving comfort to investors, developers, engineers, and government agencies alike. It helps de-risk green energy and construction ventures by ensuring that inevitable disputes don’t spiral into project paralysis.
As Kenya pursues Vision 2030, the integration of arbitration into the governance of infrastructure and energy projects is more than a legal strategy—it’s a national imperative.
