Kenya is warming

Kenya’s average temperatures have risen by about 0.88°C since 1960, with warming accelerating in recent decades and increasing the likelihood of heat extremes.

Rainfall patterns are becoming more unpredictable

Rainfall in 2025 showed large regional differences and uneven distribution, highlighting growing variability that complicates planning for agriculture and water resources.

Extreme weather is becoming more frequent and disruptive

Heatwaves, floods, strong winds, and localized cold conditions were observed in 2025, reflecting increasing climate volatility across the country.

Climate impacts are already affecting livelihoods

Extreme weather events led to flood displacement, infrastructure damage, disease outbreaks, and agricultural losses, affecting communities and economic sectors.

Climate information is a critical national asset

Investments in climate services, early warning systems, and impact-based forecasting are helping protect lives, guide decision-making, and support climate-resilient development.

Protecting ecosystems strengthens climate resilience

Safeguarding Kenya’s critical ecosystems and water towers is essential for maintaining water resources, regulating climate, and supporting national development.

Climate finance unlocks action

Enhancing access to climate finance in Kenya nationally and beyond will better support in building Kenya’s resilience against climate shocks.
