Alineación para avanzar en el desarrollo resiliente al clima

The document analyzes Kenya's systemic alignment of climate adaptation, disaster risk management, and sustainable development goals. It highlights the role of the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) and the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), both implemented through the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) 2018-2022. The study identifies synergies across policy documents and suggests improvements in coordination mechanisms, climate risk information sharing, harmonized financing, and integrated monitoring and evaluation systems.

• Kenya has implemented a systemic alignment of its climate and development agendas, where the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) 2015-2030 serves as the informational foundation for the adaptation priorities within the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). Both the NAP and NDC are executed via the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) 2018-2022.
• The NCCAP 2018-2022 explicitly integrates the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and disaster risk management, designating the latter as one of seven priority climate action areas. It utilizes SDG indicators as indirect measures to track national adaptation progress.
• Kenya's legal and policy frameworks, specifically the Climate Change Act (2016) and the National Climate Change Policy (2018), mandate the integration of sustainable development and disaster risk reduction into public and private sector strategies.
• The National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) and the Directorate of Climate Change developed the 2016 Kenya Climate Risk Management Framework to treat disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, and sustainable development as mutually reinforcing objectives rather than independent goals.
• Kenya's long-term economic planning, specifically the Third Medium Term Plan 2018-2022 of Vision 2030, identifies climate change as a threat to sustainable development and adopts an integrated approach to address both climate change and disaster risk.
• Opportunities to strengthen alignment include establishing a multi-stakeholder advisory group for the NCCAP, utilizing the National Climate Change Resource Centre as a central repository for climate risk data, and designing a Climate Change Fund that harmonizes financing for adaptation and disaster risk management.
