This article presents the societal impact of research conducted on the adoption of green energy practices in
informal settlements in Eldoret, Kenya. The study explored the types of green energy adopted, factors influencing
their uptake, and the implications for health, sustainability, and development. Findings revealed the low
adoption of clean cooking technologies, despite higher use of electricity for lighting, and identified barriers such
as high initial cost, limited awareness, and lack of policy frameworks. Community-level interventions, including
awareness creation, infrastructure planning, and policy integration, were recommended to foster widespread
adoption. The research informs sustainable urban planning, health improvement, and poverty reduction,
particularly in informal settings. It contributes to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),
particularly SDGs 1, 3, 7, 10, 11, and 13. |
