The Heavy Lifters: Addressing the Challenge of Climate Change

The challenge of climate change has been recognized as a major threat to life on planet Earth. While many nations are looking at different ways to address the problem, the same level of urgency is only beginning to be seen in Africa.
In Kenya, the last four years (2019 -2023) have presented the people with a painful demonstration of climate change. Due to the lack of rainfall, food production has fallen drastically, leaving over 4 million Kenyans facing hunger.
The government has had to import 

200 billion shillings worth of food – money that could have gone to other critical needs.

Over 2 million livestock died in 2022 alone.
The incidence of conflict between communities has increased, mostly as they fight over scarce resources like water and pasture.
