Kenya has solidified its position as a regional leader in addressing the climate-health intersection, with Principal Secretary Hon. Mary M. Muriuki unveiling key initiatives at COP29’s Health Day on November 18, 2024. Speaking at the high-level event, Muriuki emphasized the urgency of mitigating climate-related health challenges, aligning with the 77th World Health Assembly Resolution on climate and health.

Building on commitments from COP26 and COP28, Kenya introduced its inaugural Climate Change and Health Strategy (2024–2029), a comprehensive roadmap aimed at mitigating vulnerabilities exacerbated by global warming. Central to this strategy are assessments of climate vulnerability and adaptation, guidelines for eco-sustainable healthcare, and a Health National Adaptation Plan (HNAP) by 2025.

“We are proud to champion climate change solutions that prioritize human well-being and sustainable development,” Muriuki stated, reiterating Kenya’s alignment with the COP26 Health Programme. She further noted the integration of community health workers into climate awareness campaigns as a critical strategy for addressing “climate illiteracy.”

Kenya’s leadership underscores the nation’s commitment to fostering resilience. The strategy encompasses training health professionals, promoting knowledge exchange among research institutions, and mobilizing resources for long-term implementation.

The initiative also aims to lower the carbon footprint of healthcare systems, a priority for Kenya and 52 other African nations under the COP26 Health Programme. Muriuki invoked the words of Michelle Williams: “Health is the human face of climate change,” urging for deeper investments in human development and resilience.
