Kenya is experiencing a sixth consecutive failed rainy season, while the war in Ukraine and rising global food prices are further undermining food security. In the last two decades, Kenya has faced a rising degree of vulnerability to climate-induced hazards and risks – specifically continuous and protracted droughts, heatwaves and more frequent and intense flooding. This study identifies four interrelated climate security pathways that affect food systems, livelihood security and conflict in Kenya. Through actionable recommendations, it explores ways the World Food Programme (WFP) in Kenya can better mainstream climate adaptation and resilience-building in its strategies, programmes and projects to build sustainable food systems, security and peace.
