Climate Change and the Energy and Manufacturing Sector

The document examines the vulnerability of Kenya's manufacturing sector to climate change, specifically highlighting risks to energy security and supply chains, while outlining mitigation strategies such as energy efficiency and industrial ecology.

• Kenya's manufacturing sector is a significant economic driver, contributing approximately 9.8 per cent of GDP and 13 percent of formal sector employment as of 2010, while accounting for about 10.2 per cent of the country's greenhouse gas emissions.
• Climate change poses a severe risk to electricity stability in Kenya because the country relies heavily on hydropower; droughts and reduced rainfall lead to generation interruptions and blackouts. For example, droughts between 1998 and 2000 resulted in industrial production losses totaling Ksh 110 billion.
