  This lesson plan provides an introduction to climate change, causes and impacts of climate change globally, climate change risk profile for Kenya that includes climate impacts on major sectors of the country such as agriculture, water resources, human health, ecosystems, energy, infrastructure, and disasters. This lesson plan also includes the current and future health risks in Kenya due to climate change. Thus, the use of this lesson plan allows you to teach Climate Science and Climate Change in your Earth Sciences, Environmental Sciences, and Geography classrooms.
  What are the impacts of climate change in Kenya?
  How will increased temperatures impact Kenya?
  How will changing weather patterns including changes in precipitation, storms, droughts impact Kenya in the future?
  What are the current and future health risks due to climate change in Kenya?
  Climate Change Risk Profile of Kenya
  Location Africa, Kenya
  A set of two readings to explain climate change and impacts in Kenya.
  A reading by the World Health Organization on how climate change can impact human health in Kenya.
  Readings 'Climate Change in Kenya' Use the following readings to explain climate change and climate risks in Kenya to your students.
  A. First, use the factsheet Climate Change Risk Profile: Kenya from climatelinks: A Global Knowledge Portal for Climate and Development Practitioners USAID. This factsheet (5 pages) includes the climate summary, historical and future climate, impacts on major sectors such as agriculture, water resources, human health, ecosystems, energy, infrastructure, and disasters, for Kenya.
  B. You may wish to have your students explore climate change and its risks in Kenya in more detail through a resource from the Climate Change Knowledge Portal of the World Bank.
  Reading: Climate Change and Human Health Impacts in Kenya Use a reading by the World Health Organization (WHO) to stress to your students how climate change can impact human health in Kenya. This factsheet (8 pages) titled Climate Change and Health: Country Profile: Kenya includes information on climate hazard projections for Kenya and current and future health risks of climate change in Kenya. You could use this factsheet to help your students better understand what risks does climate change pose to human health in Kenya with respect to infectious disease, malaria, and undernutrition.
