Agricultural production in Kenya is predominantly rain-fed and highly vulnerable to climate variability and change. Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) is thus being promoted with the aim of increasing agricultural productivity, adapting to the changing climate, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Despite...
A pressing question resulting from global warming is how climate change will affect infectious diseases. Answering this question requires research into the effects of weather on the population dynamics of transmission and infection; elucidating these effects, however, has proved difficult due to the chal...
The genus Homo evolved during the Pleistocene — an epoch of gradual cooling and amplification of glacial cycles. The changing climates influenced early human survival, adaptation and evolution in complex ways. In this Review, we present current knowledg
Climate change and variability present different challenges to the livelihoods of forest-dependent communities. This paper aims to determine climate variability/change and its effects on the livelihoods of the Buyangu community, which depends on Kakamega tropical rain forest in Kenya. Design/methodology...
While climate change will likely be an important cause of change in some infectious diseases in the future, there are other disease drivers which will also change over similar time scales and which may exacerbate or counteract any effects of climate change. Assessment of the future importance of ...
Forests can help rural households cope with food insecurity challenges in the face of climate change while also sequestering carbon and advancing other sustainability objectives in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). As such, participation in the forestry sector can contribute to achieving the ...
(2023), using transmission models, have reported that temperature had a significant negative effect on malaria incidence in the lowland of Kenya [13]. Another study in West Africa, using a Bayesian modelling approach, has shown that the average annual temperature had nega- tive association with ...
Our study demonstrates the potential of large-scale cRCTs to evaluate novel climate change adaptation interventions and provide evidence supporting investments in heat resilience in sub-Saharan Africa. By conducting this research, we will contribute to better policies and interventions to help climate-vul...
Environmental monitoring in these ‘transitional’ zones is a priority for detecting any change in disease driven by warming trends. In a site situated at 2000 m in Western Kenya, malaria outbreaks have occurred when mean monthly temperature exceeds 18°C [77] and rainfall is greater than 150 ...
