Zusammenfassung
There is a growing recognition that the human security challenges brought on by climate change may influence, exacerbate, or emerge, other dimensions of ‘hard’ security in the country and the region. Kenya’s non-permanent seat in the United Nations Security Council which ended in 2022 presented an opportunity to adopt a cross-disciplinary policy response proportional to the urgency of climate threats nationally, and regionally by advocating for localisation of the climate-security agenda by integrating climate with security and peace dimensions interventions.
Therefore, this policy brief focuses on Kenya’s potential contributions to the climate-security nexus during its tenure in the UNSC. It further concretizes why climate security is a key issue in the UNSC which should be pursued without abandon. The policy paper concludes with specific recommendations for consideration towards implementing climate, peace, and security policies regionally through Kenya’s advocacy for greater emphasis on UN support to address the climate-change security issues in Africa, particularly in the Horn of Africa.
