Kenya National Climate Change Action Plan 2018-2022

Climate change has increased the frequency and magnitude of extreme weather events in Kenya causing loss of lives, diminished livelihoods,  reduced crop and livestock production, and damaged infrastructure, among other adverse impacts. An example is the torrential rains and severe flooding from March to May 2018 that devastated communities that were already struggling to recover from a prolonged drought. Climate change is likely to negatively impact Kenya’s future development and achievement of the goals of Kenya Vision 2030 – the long-term development blueprint – and the Government’s Big Four agenda for 2018-2022 that focuses on ensuring food and nutrition security, affordable and decent housing, increased manufacturing and affordable healthcare.
