Kenya is set to launch its first National Carbon Registry, a digital platform that will officially track and verify carbon credits and emissions reductions across the country.
In Kenya’s ASAL counties, drought is not news.
It is a recurring reality.
But what is often overlooked is the compounding impact:
• Livestock losses
• School dropouts
• Malnutrition
• Resource-based conflicts
• Migration pressures
Climate vulnerability is deeply interconnected with poverty, security, and development. Addressing drought requires more than short-term food distribution. It requires integrated solutions that restore ecosystems, strengthen livelihoods, and improve local adaptive capacity.
Climate change is reshaping lives and landscapes in Kenya. We are exploring innovative ways to build resilience in communities that face the greatest climate risks.
Climate change is not just an environmental problem. It’s a human problem — food, water, health, dignity.
Technology should not replace people. It should serve them.
Who gets water for farming—and who doesn’t?
A new study in Ethiopia, Kenya and South Sudan looks at gendered access to rainwater and irrigation, and what policies can make it fairer.
Where water flows, equality grows.

AI is powerful — but power without ethics is dangerous.
Responsible AI means:
• Transparency in decision-making
• Avoiding bias and exclusion
• Protecting privacy
• Using AI to empower — not exploit
The question isn’t “Can we build it?”
It’s “Should we — and how?”
Climate change is not only a scientific challenge — it’s a governance challenge.
Without good governance:
• Climate funds get misused
• Policies fail to reach communities
• Innovation doesn’t scale
• Accountability disappears
When soil is bake-dried by extreme heat, it loses the ability to absorb water. It becomes like a tin roof. The rain doesn't soak in—it just rushes over the surface, taking the precious topsoil with it.
Freedom is not only our history — it’s our responsibility.
This year, let’s protect what keeps Kenya alive: our forests, rivers, wildlife & communities.
Every seedling. Every clean-up. Every climate action counts.
