The Kenyan chapter of the We Don't Have Time platform could organize a yearly climate marathon to raise awareness about climate change and inspire people to take action. The marathon could be called the "Run for the Planet" and could be held in a scenic location in Kenya, such as the Great Rift Valley or the Aberdare Mountains or in one of our major cities. The marathon could be open to people of all ages and abilities. There could be a variety of distances to choose from, including a full marathon, a half marathon, a 10K, and a 5K. There could also be a fun run for children. In addition to the running races, the marathon could also feature a number of other activities, such as: 1. Educational workshops on climate change 2. Live music and entertainment 3. Food and drink vendors 4. Exhibitions from environmental organizations The marathon could be used to raise funds for climate change initiatives in Kenya. For example, the proceeds from the marathon could be used to plant trees, support renewable energy projects, or help communities adapt to the impacts of climate change. The "Run for the Planet" marathon would be a unique and exciting way to raise awareness about climate change and inspire people to take action. It would also be a great opportunity for people to come together and celebrate Kenya's natural beauty. Here is a more detailed outline of how the marathon could be organized: Partnerships: The Kenyan chapter of We Don't Have Time could partner with other organizations, such as the Kenyan government, environmental organizations, and local businesses, to organize the marathon. Marketing and outreach: The Kenyan chapter of We Don't Have Time could use social media, traditional media, and other channels to market the marathon and reach a wide audience. Registration and logistics: The Kenyan chapter of We Don't Have Time could develop a website and online registration system for the marathon. The chapter could also work with local authorities to secure the necessary permits and to coordinate logistics for the event. Volunteer recruitment: The Kenyan chapter of We Don't Have Time could recruit volunteers to help with all aspects of the marathon, from registration and race day logistics to setting up and running the educational workshops and other activities. Fundraising: The Kenyan chapter of We Don't Have Time could develop a fundraising strategy for the marathon. This could include corporate sponsorships, individual donations, and merchandise sales. The "Run for the Planet" marathon would be a great opportunity for the Kenyan chapter of We Don't Have Time to raise awareness about climate change and to inspire people to take action. It would also be a great way to celebrate Kenya's natural beauty and to bring people together for a common cause.

@munene_mugambi Thank you for coming up with this great idea. Yes it has a great agenda, but coming with such a huge event requires a lot of man power, devotion, fundraising,etc, it's not a small fate, last year we are having a strategy of coming up with a Kenyan "We Don't Have Time" Football team in county levels,which we were intending it to grow upto "National level ", but the process was so huge,I don't say it's not possible,and indeed is a great idea... But we need to articulate it for its success. Will shout it to the relevant team, etc.

Kenya, like many countries in the world, is grappling with the impacts of climate change. This climate review focuses on the specific challenges Kenya faces, the initiatives taken to mitigate these challenges, and the way forward. I. Climate Challenges :-Erratic Rainfall Patterns: Kenya relies heavily on rain-fed agriculture, making it vulnerable to unpredictable rainfall patterns. Irregular rainfall and prolonged droughts have led to crop failures and food insecurity. Temperature Rise: Increasing temperatures in Kenya have contributed to more frequent heatwaves and evaporation of water sources. This exacerbates water scarcity issues and affects the health of both humans and livestock. Rising Sea Levels: Coastal areas of Kenya, including Mombasa and Lamu, face the threat of rising sea levels, which can lead to coastal erosion, saltwater intrusion, and displacement of communities. II. Mitigation and Adaptation Efforts: Renewable Energy: Kenya has made significant strides in the renewable energy sector. The expansion of wind and solar energy projects, such as the Lake Turkana Wind Power Project and the Olkaria Geothermal Plant, has reduced reliance on fossil fuels. Afforestation and Reforestation: The government and NGOs have undertaken tree-planting initiatives to combat deforestation and enhance carbon sequestration. This includes the "Greening Kenya" campaign. Climate-Smart Agriculture: Farmers are adopting climate-smart agricultural practices, including drought-resistant crop varieties and efficient irrigation systems, to enhance food security. Water Resource Management: Kenya is investing in sustainable water resource management and harvesting techniques to address water scarcity issues. This includes the rehabilitation of dams and construction of water pans. III. Impact on Biodiversity: Wildlife Conservation: Climate change affects Kenya's diverse wildlife. It has led to changes in migration patterns, availability of water sources, and increased human-wildlife conflicts. Mountains and Glaciers: The melting glaciers on Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Range have far-reaching consequences for downstream water supply and ecosystems. IV. Vulnerable Communities: Pastoralist Communities: Nomadic communities, such as the Maasai, are severely affected by climate change due to the scarcity of water and pasture for their livestock. Coastal Communities: Rising sea levels pose a significant threat to coastal communities, resulting in displacement and loss of livelihoods. Kenya faces a range of climate challenges that impact its environment, economy, and society. While the country has taken commendable steps towards mitigation and adaptation, there is a need for continued efforts and international cooperation to address these issues effectively. As the climate situation continues to evolve, Kenya's resilience and ability to adapt will be crucial in safeguarding its natural resources and the well-being of its people. Continuous monitoring, community involvement, and sustainable policies will be key components of Kenya's climate strategy moving forward.

We Don't Have Time-Kenya office in partnership with other organisations and leaders joined team to plant over 800 trees in 3 public schools yesterday .The objective of planting in schools is to nurture young green minds who are environmental conscious and who are nurtured in the culture of tree growing. The students were given trees to adopt and take care of till maturity. We need to introduce to our kids so that they can be responsible generation for our planet. I am sending climate love to the team for taking the lead and for bringing SDG 17 into life through collaboration and partnership for collective climate action. To solve the climate crisis,we need everyone on board ! They plan to carry out the next tree planting exercise on this coming Friday 26th May . #WeCanDoIt #Patnerships #OurPlanetOurFuture https://youtu.be/FEaXsk56GZg

The introduction of GMOs in Kenya could have a positive or negative effect on climate change, depending on the type of GMOs and how they are used. For example, if GMOs are used to increase crop yields, this could reduce the need for deforestation and land conversion, which are both major contributors to climate change. If GMOs are used to create crops that are more drought-resistant or tolerant to extreme weather, this could reduce the impact of climate change on crop yields. On the other hand, if GMOs are used to increase the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers, this could increase the amount of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere, thus contributing to climate change. Ultimately, the effects of GMOs on climate change in Kenya will depend on how they are used.

Transporters protest rule by Kenya to ban old truck imports. Kenya has started enforcing vehicle importation restrictions as its revenue authority begins crushing dozens of unclaimed vehicles at the port and those that have not met eight-year old import limit. Nairobi has effected a ban on importation of trucks of up to 30 tons older than three years ostensibly to comply with the Transport Climate and Clean Air Coalition’s Global Sulphur strategy, which seeks to cut emissions by 2030. Starting this month, only tractor heads and prime movers not older than three years from the year of first registration will be allowed into the country but only up to June 30, 2023, after which no used tractor heads and prime movers will be imported. Solo run But this leaves Kenya in a bind that while making efforts to reduce emissions, the other East African Community partner states are still importing vehicles older than eight years. Efforts to harmonise the importation of used vehicles into the region have always faced headwinds. In 2020, the East African Community (EAC) recommended the slashing of the age limit for imported cars in the region to five years by 2021 to promote local assembly, but it is yet to be implemented. Kenya only allows the import of second-hand cars not older than eight years while Tanzania has set its limit at 10 years. Rwanda, Burundi and South Sudan do not have limits. On average, cars in the region are 15 years to 20 years old. The EAC argued that disjointed policies on age limits among the member states were flooding the regional market with old cars and stifling the growth of new car manufacturing. “Lack of clear policy on age limits has been identified as a factor contributing to increased imports of used vehicles, while also posing adverse impact on environment, safety and health,” said a policy brief submitted to the EAC heads of state. Used car imports make up about 85 per cent of the 2.2 million cars on the road in the region. According to Kebs, strict rules will be applied to all imported diesel and petrol-powered vehicles, and they have to meet the requirements of EURO IV/4 before importation into the country. Emission standard The “Euro” in Euro IV stands for European Emission Standard, and it is what is used to define the acceptable exhaust emission limits for vehicles sold across the world. These standards were introduced in 1970, and since then, manufacturers, oil companies, and vehicle owners were ordered to stick to them. The strategy targets to have a global transition to low sulphur on-road diesel and associated vehicle emissions standards by 2030. As Kenya strives to implement the rule agreed by standards technical committee members from the five East African countries (Burundi, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda) meeting in Nairobi on November 15, 2019, other countries have remained reluctant in implementing the proposed vehicle emissions standards for the East Africa region. During the conference, participants agreed to distinguish the emission limits for vehicles under three major categories: limits for new vehicles, limits for imported used vehicles and limits for in-use vehicles. There was consensus that limits for new vehicles would be set to attain EURO 4/IV compliance encouraging vehicles manufactures in the sub-region to comply with the global criteria on safety and emissions. Used vehicle imports were required to have at least complied to EURO4/IV technology at the time of manufacture. Considering that cleaner fuels were introduced in 2015, it was also agreed that emission limits for in use vehicles will be informed by available inspection data in the sub region to avoid a large percentage of in use vehicles failing the emission tests. Late last month, Kebs issued warning to traders saying only motor vehicles not older than eight years will be allowed into the country and that it will admit second-hand vehicles whose first year of registration is 2015 or after, effective January 1, 2023. Across the board Any such vehicles that arrive in the country from January 1, 2023, will be rejected at the importer’s cost, a directive that also applies to diplomatic staff. In a notice issued in November 2022, Kebs advised importers seeking to ship second-hand vehicles whose first year of registration is 2015 to do so before the end of the year. Meanwhile, Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has announced that it will destroy more than 200 overage vehicles at the Mombasa port starting January 4, 2023, to reduce congestion at the container freight stations holding the vehicles. In a Kenya Gazette notice released on December 2, 2022, KRA stated that most vehicles had reached the maximum legal import age stipulated by the Kenyan government. “Pursuant to the provisions of sections 42 and 248 of the East African Community Customs Management Act, 2004, notice is given that the under-mentioned condemned goods shall be disposed of by way of destruction on the January 4, 2023, after the expiry of 30 days from the publication of this notice,” read the notice. https://www.theeastafrican.co.ke/tea/business/transporters-protest-rule-by-kenya-to-ban-old-truck-imports-4079116

Knowing the details of these contributions can help policymakers decide where to focus their efforts to meet their targets regarding the Paris Agreement. This treaty, signed in 2015, set goals to limit global warming well below 2°C and pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5°C above preindustrial levels, to avoid dangerous impacts of climate change. Different regions and sectors (i.e., energy, transportation, agriculture) emit different amounts of greenhouse gases and other air pollutants to the atmosphere. Each of these gases interacts with incoming and outgoing heat (or radiation) in different ways, and together they determine the amount of warming (or cooling) and climate change we experience. It is therefore important to understand how these interactions with heat or "radiative forcings" might change between regions and sectors over time, so we can mitigate climate change effectively. https://phys.org/news/2023-01-key-sources-emissions-climate-mitigation.html

What is having a "2 degrees goal" at home? To live so that you don't cause more emissions than what is allowed to reach 2 degrees global warming? If so, it's even better to have a "1.5 degrees goal", becuase the climate consequences are much lower then comoared to at 2 degrees. Regarding voting, I would like to add that it's good to vote for a party which has ambitious climate politics :)

What is Climate Change? Climate change is a global modification of the climate over a long period of time (from decades to millions of years). These changes can occur both regionally and globally. By climate change we mean the increase in temperature from the middle of the 20th century to the present day. Even if climate change can also have natural causes, it is largely related to human activity and greenhouse gases.
