Globally, there is a growing recognition that climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time. Climate change poses a significant threat to global food and water security, leading to malnutrition,  spread of diseases, violent conflicts, and forced displacement. These interconnected risks can have global effects, yet their impacts disproportionately fall on vulnerable populations in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where the majority of the world’s poor reside. Populations in arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) are often the hardest hit. Globally, ASAL regions are home to approximately one billion people. The pastoral communities in Kenya’s ASAL counties, including Turkana, Garissa, and Mandera, face significant climate-related stressors. Reduced and more erratic rainfall, recurrent droughts, and declining livelihood opportunities pose a threat to the health of both humans and livestock. They also trigger competition over water and grazing lands, which, at times, triggers intercommunity conflicts. These stressors interact with gaps in social protection, limited mobility, unstable livestock markets, and a decrease in the capacity of households to cope with challenges, making women, elderly persons, and young people increasingly vulnerable to risks. This project aims to deepen insights into the impacts of climate change and adaptation practices among pastoral communities in Mandera, Garissa, and Turkana counties in Kenya.
