AKIC-Kenya

Climate change is disrupting national economies and affecting lives and livelihoods, especially for the most vulnerable. If left unchecked, climate change will cause average global temperatures to increase beyond 3°C, and will adversely affect every ecosystem. Already, we can see how climate change can exacerbate storms and disasters, and threats such as food and water scarcity, which can lead to conflict. Doing nothing will end up costing us a lot more than if we take action now.

To address climate change, we have to vastly raise our ambition at all levels. Much is happening around the world – investments in renewable energy have soared. But more needs to be done. The world must transform its energy, industry, transport, food, agriculture and forestry systems to ensure that we can limit global temperature rise to well below 2°C. By implementing community based sustainable agriculture and food security, AKIC - Kenya advocates for actions that combat climate change and its impacts.
