Our Work

Our Work

At CCAEH, our work spans four interconnected thematic areas designed to bridge research, policy, and community action. Each area contributes to building climate resilience that is inclusive, evidence-driven, and sustainable.

Evidence Generation & Knowledge Sharing

We capture and share real stories of climate adaptation from communities across Kenya, East Africa, and beyond. Through surveys, case studies, and multimedia platforms, we amplify voices of resilience while curating open-access knowledge for practitioners and policymakers. From documenting indigenous innovations to publishing in global journals, our work ensures that both local wisdom and scientific insights shape climate solutions.

Policy, Governance & Climate Justice

We support governments at both county and national levels to design and implement strong climate policies and financing frameworks. By facilitating dialogues with civil society and communities, we ensure that climate justice remains central to adaptation efforts. Our contributions to county action plans and national frameworks bridge local priorities with global climate commitments, advancing equity and sustainability.

Community Empowerment & Capacity Building

Our grassroots initiatives place people at the heart of adaptation. We train women, youth, and local organizations on climate-smart livelihoods, while showcasing participatory models that highlight local solutions. Through clean energy projects, livelihood support, and academic mentorships, we embed capacity at every level—building inclusive resilience that empowers vulnerable groups and nurtures the next generation of climate leaders.

Innovations, Technologies & Climate Financing

We champion sustainable innovations that can be scaled for impact. By linking researchers, entrepreneurs, and communities, we drive the adoption of clean energy, agroforestry, and nature-based solutions. Our advocacy for climate financing models ensures resources reach local communities, while our partnerships help transform promising ideas into enterprises that deliver lasting adaptation benefits.
