Climate change in Kenya: focus on children

This case study provides examples of the type of support that may be needed to prevent or reduce future impacts of climate change. It asserts that by involving children in climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction programmes, there is potential for improved outcomes. Equipping the next generations with the skills and knowledge to thrive in a changing climate is becoming increasingly important.

This case study describes programmes that can help communities in Kenya adapt to specific challenges posed by climate change. These examples are based on successful UNICEF programmes in other countries facing similar climatic challenges to Kenya, including health and education-related activities.
