In Kenya, climate change isn’t just an environmental issue—it’s a matter of social justice. The impacts of climate change disproportionately affect rural communities, where people rely on natural resources for their daily lives. In areas like Turkana and Samburu, severe droughts and shifting weather patterns threaten food security, water access, and local economies.

Adaptation Efforts: Organizations across Kenya are working to help these communities adapt, from sustainable farming practices to climate education. Initiatives like drought-resistant crops and water conservation systems are making a difference.

Policy Needs: However, local adaptation efforts alone aren’t enough. Climate policy must address these inequalities, ensuring that vulnerable communities receive the support they need.
