Abstract

The potential for climate change to adversely influence Kenya’s development objectives is increasingly recognized by the national government. In response, it has developed a national strategy to identify priorities, and a supporting adaptation action plan. This paper provides a snapshot of Kenya’s current and planned efforts to meet the challenge of adapting to climate change, and indicates the country is making progress toward integrating climate change considerations into its sectoral policies. As opportunities arise within the policy cycle, efforts to enhance the integration of climate change into other national policies, such as gender and health, will enhance Kenya’s adaptation efforts.
