Climate Resilience

Nature-based solutions for a changing climate

As droughts, floods and unpredictable weather increasingly impact Kenya’s rangelands, KWCA helps conservancies adapt and thrive — through nature-based solutions, participation in carbon markets, and inclusive climate policy that keeps conservation locally led.
Our Approach

How we build climate resilience

We enable communities to respond to the realities of climate change while keeping conservation locally led and community driven.
ClimateARK project activity with the Taita Taveta Wildlife Conservancies Association

Climate policy & capacity building

We train county executives, conservancy leaders and community representatives on climate adaptation, REDD+ and sustainable land management — building a new generation of climate champions.

Carbon markets & finance

Our Guide to Carbon Projects demystifies carbon finance, and through partnerships such as CAMAK we build members’ capacity on carbon accounting, due diligence and equitable, informed participation.

Nature-based solutions on the ground

Conservancies such as Shompole and Kamuthe are restoring degraded ecosystems, improving grazing systems and building resilience — combining traditional knowledge with science and innovation.
