Results and impacts
Reduce vulnerability to climate change
Enhancing resilience of Mount Kenya’s
Outstanding Universal Values to climate
change
Integrating relevant information on climate
change, including variability, into national
and subnational decision-making processes
for better awareness, preparedness and
adaptation, through enhanced capacity of
the population to adapt to climate change
and reduce vulnerability
Improved knowledge, skills and
partnership supporting systematic
mainstreaming of climate change risks;
improved capacity in prioritizing and
implementing cost-effective measures
Climate Change related threats to key
attributes of Mt Kenya’s impressive landscape
studied and managed including improved
integrity and connectivity of the Site and
increased capacity to manage the site.
Capacities of local population enhanced,
capacities to adapt to climate change
and variability, the benefits of which
are to continue long after the end of the
project; Lessons learned and best practices
disseminated and up-scaled.
