Naivasha Sub-County Climate Change Vulnerability Report

The UC Berkeley, Center for Global Healthy Cities (www.healthycities.berkeley.edu) summarized the findings shared by Muungano and SDI-K and generated this report

In this report, we report on the knowledge shared by residents in Naivasha about climate vulnerabilities and their suggestions for policy and planning proposals to achieve greater climate justice. The data collection described here was led by Muungano wa Wanavijiji (Muungano) and SDI-Kenya (SDI-K), as part of the Voices of Just Climate Action programme. This program aims to lift-up the voices of civil society, particularly women and youth in Kenya, in order to co-creates locally relevant, inclusive, and climate justice solutions.

Climate change, ecosystem degradation, and social inequality can threaten community development and wellbeing across Kenya. Climate change in Kenya is already increasingly the vulnerability of Kenya’s residents living in precarious situations, such as those living in slums, in poverty and in risky environmental settings. Current climate change governance and strategies are not prioritizing these environmental injustices, and more inclusive and integrated planning can help ensure Kenya pursues climate justice.
