    Abstract
    Kenya’s flower export industry plays a critical role in the country’s economy, contributing significantly to GDP and employment. However, the environmental impact of the sector, particularly its carbon footprint, has raised concerns among global consumers and regulatory bodies. This paper explores the sources of carbon emissions in the flower supply chain, including farming practices and transportation logistics, and evaluates strategies to mitigate these impacts. Key solutions include the adoption of renewable energy, sustainable farming techniques, and eco-friendly packaging. The paper also examines market and economic implications, highlighting the opportunities presented by shifting consumer demands for sustainable products in European markets. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of government policies, subsidies, and international partnerships in scaling sustainability initiatives. By addressing these challenges, Kenya’s flower industry can balance its economic significance with environmental responsibility, ensuring its long-term competitiveness in global markets.
