Empowering Resilience: How Special Interest Groups in Kenya Are Leading Inclusive Climate Action

As climate change accelerates, the most vulnerable groups in Kenya, particularly persons with disabilities (PWDs), women, and children, face disproportionate challenges. However, through the Global Disability Caucus, efforts are intensifying to include PWDs as active agents of change in climate action. This shift moves beyond viewing these groups solely as victims of environmental crises to recognizing their capacity for innovation and resilience.

In Kenya, special interest groups (SIGs) are spearheading community-driven solutions to mitigate climate impacts.

From adaptive farming techniques to renewable energy initiatives, these grassroots efforts provide invaluable insights into how inclusive climate strategies can empower all sectors of society. The collaboration of local communities with international organizations is crucial in ensuring that climate actions are both sustainable and equitable, fostering an inclusive future for all.
