Towards a National Climate Change Learning Strategy
Under the UN CC:Learn Project to Strengthen Human Resources and Skills to Advance the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and the National Adaptation Plan (NAP), the Government of Kenya developed its National Climate Change Learning Strategy through a multi-stakeholder, cross sectoral approach.
Building on a background report, a virtual National Planning Workshop took place on 27 July and 11 August 2020. The assessment of learning needs and delivery capacity was concluded in December 2020. The mid-term workshop to develop the Learning Action Plan for the Strategy was held on 12 and 13 January 2021. A draft Climate Change Learning Strategy was then prepared and validated.
In parallel, a few initial priority learning actions have been undertaken, including a training on climate change diplomacy and a workshop on the integration of climate change into education. In addition, a debate on climate change learning with prominent speakers took place on national TV on 27 May 2021.
In 2023, Kenya launched a nation-wide school competition aimed at raising youth awareness on climate change.
