Kenya, just like any other country, has seen a significant temperature increase of 0.3°C to 0.6°C per decade, impacting key sectors such as agriculture and water resources. This rapid warming trend was a major focus at the inaugural Africa Climate Summit (ACS23) in Nairobi last month that, among others, highlighted the link between climate change, regional food systems, and economic transformation.
Concurrently, the 2023 Africa Food Systems Forum (AFS Forum 23) in Dar es Salaam stressed the urgent need for climate-responsive solutions by African governments to address the continent’s food system challenges.
