From changing temperatures to strengthening storms and rising water levels, the effects of climate change are impacting all of us.

Communities need locally available solutions to strengthen their ability to adapt, as well as scaled-up and targeted action. In particular, women and girls – who are already disproportionately impacted – will continue to be left behind if such measures are not enacted.

UNFPA is working with the Government of Kenya and other partners to support adaptation and resilience to climate change, and to put women and girls at the centre of these efforts.
