Abstract This National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) 2018-2022 is the second 5-year nationwide sectoral Plan to guide Kenya’s climate change actions, including the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, built on the progress achieved during the implementation of NCCAP 2013-2017. The Plan also sets out initiatives that foster movement towards the achievement of Kenya’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), under the Paris Agreement, aiming at (i) greenhouse gas emission reductions of 30% by 2030; (ii) mainstreaming of climate change adaptation into the Government’s planning processes; and (iii) implementation of adaptation actions. Main goal of the document is (i) providing mechanisms and measures to achieve low carbon climate resilient development; and (ii) enhance the climate resilience of vulnerable groups. Identified priority areas of intervention are (1) disaster risk (floods and drought) management; (2) food and nutrition security; (3) water and the Blue Economy; (4) forestry, wildlife and tourism; (5) health, sanitation and human settlements; (6) manufacturing; and (7) energy and transport. Main objectives of the Plan for each area are (i) reduce risks that result from climate-related disasters, such as droughts and floods, to communities and infrastructure; (ii) increase food and nutrition security through enhanced productivity and resilience of the agricultural systems, in as low-carbon a manner as possible; (iii) enhance the resilience of the water sector by ensuring access to, and efficient use of water for agriculture, manufacturing, domestic, wildlife, and other uses; (iv) increase forest cover to 10% of total land area, increase the resilience of the wildlife and tourism sectors, and rehabilitate degraded lands, including range lands; (v) reduce incidences of malaria and other diseases that are projected to increase because of climate change, encourage climate-resilient solid waste management, and promote climate resilient buildings and settlements; (vi) improve energy and resource efficiency in the manufacturing sector; and (vii) climate-proof energy and transport infrastructure, promote renewable energy development, increase the uptake of clean cooking solutions, and develop sustainable transport systems.
