Threats facing climate Justice Movements in Kenya

Climate justice movements in Kenya continue to face significant challenges, threatening their ability to push for equitable climate action.

According to Natural Justice, the biggest hurdle is limited resources, accounting for 35% of the challenges.

Political interference and lack of goodwill follow at 21%, while poor coordination mechanisms contribute 13%.

Capacity gaps and weak policy/institutional frameworks each represent 16% of the obstacles.

These challenges undermine the inclusion of vulnerable groups in climate decision-making and slow down the adoption of effective climate policies.

Without dedicated funding, political will, and strategic partnerships, efforts to amplify grassroots voices risk being derailed.

The data underscores an urgent need for government and stakeholders to invest in institutional support, align climate advocacy with policy, and ensure collaborative coordination.
