As the impact of climate change increases, it becomes crucial to identify areas where integrated interventions can achieve multiple objectives. In this study, bivariate LISA analysis was employed to identify land use-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emission sources and conflict hotspots in Kenya. The results suggest that GHG emission priorities and conflict locations tend to be spatially misaligned in Kenya. However, ward-level spatial analysis provides valuable localized insights into priority areas for addressing climate and conflict challenges. Priority wards are concentrated in counties such as Baringo, Mombasa, Marsabit, Turkana, Mandera, and Samburu. These areas could be strategically prioritized to promote a harmonized approach that aligns with Kenyan policy frameworks to achieve low-carbon, climate-resilient economic development.
