  4. Ecosystem Based Resilience and Adaptation to Climate Change in the Mt Kenya East Forest Ecosystem through promotion of a natural resource based economy • The Mt Kenya East Forest is on the windward side of Mt Kenya. The region lies between agro-ecological zones , characterized by rainfall of between and and temperatures of between and. The ecosystem is named after and hosts Mt. Kenya, a Biosphere Reserve UNESCO World Heritage Site (ref……….). It should be conserved for provision of global ecosystem services, such as wildlife conservation, water, carbon sink and climate regulation. A ten year comprehensive management plan for conservation of Mt. Kenya Ecosystem was developed by KWS, KFS, KEFRI, WRMA and NEMA with participation of stakeholders. The Plan came into force in 2010 and has 7 management programmes.

  5. Objectives • 1. To document climate-related impacts and vulnerabilities of communities in 3 counties of the Mt. Kenya East ecosystem • 2. To promote landscape scale Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) as a cost-effective and low-risk approach for building climate resilience over large rural landscapes that surround a protected area. • 3. To mobilize and equip local communities to rehabilitate degraded forests and wetlands in order to restore eco-system services, based on wise-use principles and guidelines. • 4. To build the capacity (institutional strengthening) of the various actors in the ecosystem to be able to implement EbA activities.

  6. Presentation of a projectyou are working on 3/3 • Activities • 1.1 .1Conduct baseline surveys of specific climate-related impacts and vulnerabilities of communities in selected counties of the ecosystem. • 2.1.1 Create awareness of EbA amongst policy makers and communities through meetings • 2.1.2 Pilot the application of EbA in selected areas of the Mt. Kenya East Ecosystem and assess its suitability as a low risk approach for building climate resilience over large rural landscapes while meeting the management objectives of a protected area

  7. Activities cont’d • 3.1.1 Incorporate sustainable land management practices and reforestation in support of resilient agricultural practices • 3.1.2 Develop alternative natural resource based livelihoods for communities living in high potential zones of Mt Kenya East region so as to reduce the utilization pressure exerted on the natural forests and wetlands. • 3.1.3 Strengthen the climate information and early warning systems that support the communities to make climate-resilient decisions. • 3.1.4 Supporting initiatives around climate adaptation and mitigation as well as those addressing Ecosystem based Adaptation
