| Summary: | The impact of climate change poses a significant threat to human security on multiple fronts, as environmental changes exacerbate vulnerabilities across economic, social and political systems. This anthology is an invaluable resource for understanding Kenya's climate-related challenges and a vital guide for crafting effective, long-term solutions that prioritize human security and environmental stability. Within this collection, the authors address critical themes such as human security-climate change nexus, adaptation and mitigation strategies such as decarbonizing transportation and adopting energy-efficient building technologies. The authors explore innovative climate risk assessment tools tailored for the arid and semi-arid regions of Kenya and propose gender-sensitive resilience policies, underscoring the critical role of women in managing agropastoral ecosystems. Additionally, the collection investigates the influence of climate conditions on health, including the relationship between weather patterns and COVID-19 prevalence. The essays also analyze the effects of extreme weather events, such as floods and droughts, on food security, emphasizing the pressing need for sustainable interventions. |
