In Jaldesa and Songa Conservancies in Marsabit county,94 farmers took part in Climate-Smart Agriculture training, learning techniques to adapt to changing weather patterns and protect soil moisture. These efforts aim to support healthier soils, more resilient farming systems and communities better equipped to manage the challenges of an ever-unpredictable climate.

The Northern Rangelands Trust (NRT) convened a fundraiser event on October 13, bringing together government leaders, development partners, private sector representatives and community leaders in Nairobi to celebrate achievements in community-led conservation and discuss opportunities to sustain the work for generations to come.

For NRT, participation in COP12 provides an opportunity to bring the experience of Kenya’s coastal communities into a wider regional conversation, exchange knowledge with partners and reinforce the importance of community institutions in delivering conservation outcomes.
