Climate Initiatives

The world is becoming more vulnerable every day as a result of climate change, and more particularly in semi-arid and dry regions with growing acute poverty, water scarcity, malnutrition, and biodiversity loss. These communities are disproportionately exposed to extreme weather events, are more reliant on natural resources for livelihoods and water, and least able to cope with, and adapt to negative environmental impacts.

At ACTNOW KENYA, we strive by virtue of community impact informed by our strategic entry points to climate action.

Climate Adaptation Strategies

We develop sustainable solutions for communities to adapt to the loss and damage caused changing climate conditions effectively. Our project are selected on locations based on factors like ecological conditions, assessment of need, community participation, and long-term sustainability.

Climate education

We champion equitable access to climate education and policies that support indigenous communities and environmental sustainability. ACTNOW KENYA is currently running a three-month education project on Sustainable Development Goals, a pilot project covering Climate action and Biodiversity conservation in schools.
