National Climate Change Response Strategy 2010.

The National Climate Change Response Strategy is a strategic document with a multi-sectoral approach whose vision is for a prosperous and climate change resilient Kenya. The objective is to strengthen and focus nationwide actions towards climate change adaptation and Global Greenhouse Gas emission mitigation. In summary, the objective of the NCCRS is to respond to climate change by, among other aspects: enhancing understanding of the global climate change negotiations process, international agreements, policies and processes and most importantly the positions Kenya needs to take in order to maximize beneficial effects; assessing the evidence and impacts of climate change in Kenya; recommending robust adaptation and mitigation measures needed to minimize risks associated with climate change while maximizing opportunities; enhancing understanding of climate change and its impacts nationally and in local regions; recommending vulnerability assessment, impacts monitoring and capacity building framework needs.
