Climate players and innovators meet in Kitale for national climate change drive

Climate change stakeholders are meeting in Kitale, Trans-Nzoia County, for a three-day national campaign aimed at promoting climate literacy, policy innovation and community-led action on climate change.

The National Climate Literacy Campaign 2026 brings together learners, teachers, youth, community groups, government agencies, development partners, civil society organisations, innovators, private-sector players and climate practitioners.

The campaign seeks to demonstrate how climate knowledge can be translated into practical action, environmental conservation and sustainable livelihoods.

The forum has brought together policy experts and climate-smart champions to develop a blueprint that will support practical climate solutions, climate literacy programmes and environmental education at the community level.

It has also provided an opportunity for youth climate enthusiasts to engage in policy dialogue, exhibitions and demonstrations on climate innovation. Participating counties are showcasing initiatives aimed at strengthening environmental resilience and climate literacy among local communities.

The Trans-Nzoia County Government has partnered with Dorcas Wamalwa, founder and programme lead of Community Integrated Strategies for Climate Adaptation and Resilience (CISCAR), to promote environmental resilience and climate literacy.

The partnership seeks to support the development of a unified framework for ecosystem conservation, green innovation and community-led sustainability across targeted counties.
