Kenya’s Environment Policy is being reviewed, and your voice matters.

The first draft of the Kenya National Environment Policy 2026 is now available for public consultation.

This is an opportunity for citizens, communities, young people, practitioners, researchers, businesses and environmental actors to read the draft, reflect on what it proposes, and share views on the kind of environmental future we want for Kenya.

Public participation is not just about being informed, it is about helping shape the policies that influence our environment, livelihoods, climate resilience and future generations.

📢 Take some time to review the draft and submit your input.

Ask yourself: Does this policy adequately respond to the environmental challenges we are experiencing today, and the ones we are likely to face tomorrow?

Every voice matters. Every perspective counts. Let’s participate and help shape a more sustainable, resilient Kenya.

Climate change is making rainfall patterns increasingly uncertain - affecting when rains begin, how long dry spells last, and the intensity of rainfall when it comes.

So, what should we do differently?

☄️ Check reliable weather and seasonal forecasts before making key decisions.
☄️ Avoid relying only on past rainfall patterns.
☄️ Diversify crops, livelihoods and sources of income where possible.
☄️ Protect soil and water resources before extreme weather arrives.
☄️ Combine scientific forecasts with local knowledge and observations.
☄️ Stay flexible, adapt plans as conditions change.

We may not control the rain. But we can improve how prepared we are for it.

Ending the fossil fuel age will take all of us.

At the ongoing UN General Assembly, the UN has renewed the call for urgent climate action. Fossil fuels are driving global warming, worsening extreme weather, polluting our air and water, and putting people and nature at risk.

The transition won’t happen through words alone. Governments, businesses, communities and every one of us must act together to accelerate clean energy and protect our .

The climate crisis is shared. So must be the action.

Pope Leo XIV reminds us that caring for creation is a responsibility rooted in our faith, our love for one another, and our care for future generations.

From protecting water and biodiversity to reducing waste and pollution, every small act of care matters. Let us move from words to action and help transform our world from harm to life, from indifference to responsibility, and from destruction to renewal.

Building Resilience Before the Crisis:

The Kenyan government has identified 18 counties at high risk of severe flooding and related impacts during the upcoming October–December 2026 El Niño short rains.

As El Niño strengthens across Eastern and Southern Africa, communities are facing growing risks of drought, floods, extreme heat, food insecurity and water stress.

For rural communities, climate resilience is not just about responding to disasters - it is about preparing early, strengthening local knowledge, protecting livelihoods, and ensuring communities have the tools to adapt.

Empowered communities are resilient communities.

Let’s remember: climate action starts locally, and resilience grows when communities lead.

El Niño is a recurring climate pattern that can change rainfall and temperatures around the world. It can increase the risk of droughts, floods, extreme heat, and wildfires in some regions, while bringing better conditions to others. Because El Niño can be forecast months ahead, it gives communities time to understand the risks and prepare early.

How seriously does your government take soil health?

Healthy soils are the foundation of food security, climate resilience, biodiversity, and sustainable livelihoods. Yet soil degradation continues to threaten agricultural productivity and ecosystem health across many regions.

Here is an important resource to help you learn more about soil health and why it matters for our future.
