Climate change is no longer a distant threat for countries. How prepared are individuals and communities to face these challenges? Do they have the capacity to cope, adapt and recover when disasters come? These are some of the questions we need to answer through climate actions, and why it is important to stay safe, be ready and recover quickly after they occur.

Climate resilience is essential for Kenya’s future because it helps protect our homes, wildlife, waters, farms and environment, ensuring people live healthier lives even during climate change. Putting in place sustainable measures enables communities to prepare for any challenge instead of only reacting after disasters happen.

Kenya’s New Vision Towards a First World Nation called 'The Road to Singapore Report' is about the dream of becoming a modern and successful country, a goal which cannot be achieved if climate changes continue to have adverse effects. We need roads that can withstand heavy floods, reliable supply of water during dry seasons, preservation of forests and other water bodies, and early warning signs for any disasters. 

When floods damage roads, schools, hospitals, homes, and drought destroy crops, people lose food, jobs and incomes. This slows down the country’s development leading to minimal economic growth.

By investing in climate resilience, Kenya will grow its economy, protect its people and create a safer future for all.
