Climate Change
Climate Change is a key development challenge that has significant effects on
sustainable development in Machakos County and the Country at large.
Machakos County is faced with an accelerating climate crisis (Machakos
County, 2023). Drought, heat stress, diminishing water resources and increased
temperatures leading to water scarcity are the most problematic climatic
hazards in the County.
Citizens of Machakos County are often directly dependent
on natural resources to sustain their livelihood with agricultural farming as the
principal livelihood employing 73% of the population and contributing 70% of
household incomes (Machakos County, 2023). The impact of climate change is
already putting stress on these resources. Food shortage, increased food prices
and scarcity of water are just some of the consequences of extreme weather events
such as drought and flooding.
