Infos

The impact of climate change poses a significant threat to human security on multiple fronts, as environmental changes exacerbate vulnerabilities across economic, social, and political systems. This anthology is an invaluable resource for understanding Kenya's climate-related challenges and a vital guide for crafting effective, long-term solutions that prioritize human security and environmental stability. Within this collection, the authors address critical themes such as human security-climate change nexus, adaptation, and mitigation strategies such as decarbonizing transportation and adopting energy-efficient building technologies. The authors explore innovative climate risk assessment tools tailored for the arid and semi-arid regions of Kenya and propose gender-sensitive resilience policies, underscoring the critical role of women in managing agro-pastoral ecosystems. Additionally, the collection investigates the influence of climate conditions on health, including the relationship between weather patterns and COVID-19 prevalence. The essays also analyse the effects of extreme weather events, such as floods and droughts, on food security, emphasizing the pressing need for sustainable interventions.
