Abstract

This document contains Kenya's National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP), a sectoral instrument addressing climate change issues during the period 2013-2017. The Action Plan lays down specific measures for climate change adaptation and mitigation, giving particular regard to the immporvement of climate resilience. Special attention is given to the poor and groups most vulnerable to impacts of climate change (especially women, children, urban poor living in slums that are flood-prone, rural population). The implementation of the NCCAP as part of the national development policy system requires internalizing low carbon and resilience pathways, including the institutions, systems, tools and instruments that form the foundations of a low carbon climate resilient system and society.
