Climate resilience is a vital pillar of sustainable development, especially in regions where communities rely on rainfed agriculture and pastoralism, such as the Turkana and West Pokot counties of Kenya. Resilience includes the capacity of communities, ecosystems, and economies to recover from the adverse effects of climate-related shocks in a timely and effective manner. By strengthening climate resilience, we not only protect these vulnerable systems but also lay the groundwork for long-term development by minimizing the risks associated with future climate threats. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) highlights that climate change disproportionately impacts the most vulnerable regions, emphasizing the necessity of resilience building as a fundamental strategy for risk reduction and ensuring food security in these areas.
