G.M. Kairu, Possible effects of global warming on coffee diseases in Kenya, in: Proceedings of XVI International Plant Protection Congress, Glasgow, Scotland, UK, October 15-19, 2007, pp. 806-807.
To address the increasing challenge of global warming and declining food security, several interventions have been implemented in Kenya by the national government, research organizations and development partners to promote uptake of CSA practices. These include initiatives such as the CGIAR Research Program...
A key question ensuing from global warming is how climate change may impact the population dynamics of infectious diseases1,2,3. Indeed, observations of large climatic variability in the distribution and seasonality of multiple infectious diseases worldwide—including major causes of death like malaria...

Climate change, characterized by global warming, has become one of the greatest threats to mankind in the twenty-first century [1, 2]. Among all kinds of extreme weather events, drought is widely regarded as the most costly, complex, and destructive phenomenon [3]. The Lancet Countdown 2023...
Human activities, especially conversion and degradation of habitats, are causing global biodiversity declines. How local ecological assemblages are responding is less clear—a concern given their importance for many ecosystem functions and services. We a
Also in Kenya, Jaramillo et al. (2011) found that crop diversification might be a suitable adaptation option to cope with warming trends in coffee production. Ochieng, Kirimi, and Mathenge (2016) estimated the effects of climate variability and change in crop revenue on maize and tea revenues ...
Risley With regard to the Arctic, a model of the effect of global warming on a protostrongylid lung-dwelling nematode Umingmakstrongylus pallikuukensis, in Canadian Arctic muskoxen Ovibos moschatus, found that warming was likely to significantly influence infection, making the muskoxen more ...
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 ...
