Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Climate Change, Aden Duale, has unveiled two major initiatives to bolster Kenya's response to climate change: the National Framework for Climate Services (NFCS), and the State of the Climate Kenya (SOCK) 2024 Report.
Speaking at the launch, Duale emphasized that these efforts mark a significant step toward a more resilient and sustainable future for the country. "With immense pride and a profound sense of responsibility, I stand before you today as we mark a very important moment in Kenya's history towards a resilient and sustainable future," he said.
According to Duale, NFCS will serve as the foundation of Kenya's climate strategy and provide timely, reliable, and actionable climate data to various sectors, including government agencies, businesses, academia, and local communities.
He noted that the framework is designed to enhance Kenya's ability to anticipate, prepare for, and respond to climate variability and extreme weather events. "By strengthening our capacity to focus, to prepare for, and to respond to climate variability and extreme events, this framework ensures that Kenya can adapt more effectively to the uncertainties of the changing climate," he said.
