This week (without removing my hat as a research scientist), I wear my legal hat as a Lawyer/Advocate of the High Court of Kenya, attending the @LawSocietyofKe Annual Conference at Diani Beach with the Theme: “#ClimateChange: From Theory to Action, the Role of the Legal Profession in #ClimateJustice.”

This morning at LSK Women’s Breakfast, the focus is “The Role that Women Play in Tackling #ClimateChange. Women’s Leadership. The session is sponsored by @fidakenya, @FordFoundation, @ReproRightsUN, @edwinsifuna

Participating in this conference is so timely as we @aphrc engage on a journey in exploring & understanding the linkages between #climatechange & #health, on my part focusing on the interlinkages with ecological health, food systems & nutrition & other health issues.

It is timely in light of our recent grant from the @wellcometrust to make visible the impacts of climate change on health in drylands in Eastern Africa. #Visibilize4Action Project. Hopefully this research project could inform exploration of the @UNFCCC Loss & Damage Fund from a #ClimateJustice perspective.

Speakers at the Women’s Breakfast session include #NancyIkinu, Leader of @fidakenya Prof #KameriMbote Director of the Law Division at @UNEP, #BettySungura of @NGECKenya, & #ChristineKungu of Kenya School of Law among others.

The issue of food as a basic need & right needs serious consideration by government!

I was very saddened to learn that people in Turkana are facing such serious hunger to the extent of eating their bed/beddings.

This woman cooks a cow skin she has used as bed for >10y for food.

@Liz_Kimani @right_2_food @katibainstitute @citizentvkenya @sarahkimani @aphrc @_Atamba @routetofood @HakiKNCHR @flosips @43Social Whether food is a " Human Right" or a "Human Need", it is indeed heartbreaking to see this, suggesting, even lalop seeds, their extreme coping strategy, are nowhere. Where is the "Right to Food" in Turkana?

Kenyans with chronic kidney disease know diet is important. But many don't follow the guidelines https://t.co/tpyrvlCk7S via @TC_Africa

Chronic #kidneydisease is a life-threatening #NCD & is increasing in #Kenya🇰🇪. While patients are aware of negative consequences of unhealthy diets on disease progression, they also face barriers to change. Read @uonbi @Roopiyo's blog at @TC_Africa: https://t.co/AyWEb3dJM7

Tomorrow(Friday Nov 20) is #WorldChildrensDay. World leaders must acknowledge that around a quarter of the world’s children are physically stunted because of poor nutrition. Investing in nutrition today will help people, communities and countries thrive tomorrow.@FundNutrition
