As you may recognize,
the vision 2030 seeks to transform Kenya into a middle level income country by
2030. The takeoff phase of this transformation is expected to be driven mainly
by agriculture and Agro-based manufacturing. . Additionally, realization of the
vision is anchored on reliable energy, water and human capital. All these
sectors are sensitive to climate variability and change. Failure to recognize
and address associated risks could therefore not only delay the promise of the
vision but also erode the gains made in recent years. It is therefore important
that climate change receives a fair share in organizational and national debate
.Additionally, there is need to put the knowledge, capability and
climate-proofing capacity in your management’s hands for conducting climate
change risk, adaptation policies and plans that are custom-made for each
organization.

collaboration with Vision 2030 Delivery Secretariat, International Institute
For Environment And Development(IIED), national environmental management
authority (NEMA), The University Of North Texas (UNT)-sustainability
department and The United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) organized for a
2-day climate change conference at Safari Park Hotel from 25-26th
2013 to discuss and examine how well to implement integrated and comprehensive
adaptation actions and resilience plans in order to ensure institutional and
organizational development processes incorporate climate change risks and
opportunities to secure development gains under a changing climate.
Participants were taken through how climate change has affected today’s
activities and how man has greatly attributed to climate change. At
organizational level, a lot was learnt. How as an organization you are addressing
the concept of climate change was a very big question, with participants
confessing that more training need be done for them to understand better the
issue of climate change.

been key when it comes to climate change and environment conservation. One of
the most modern aspects being fronted today is how solid waste can be sorted at
source. This it has been observed shall make it easy for recycling and proper
disposal of solid waste. Here, the main aim is to be able to collect plastics,
paper, glass, and organic waste separately. This shall lessen the burden of
sorting the waste at a later stage before the disposing....
