SEEDS OF CHANGE: COMMUNITIES ROLE IN GENDER, CLIMATE CHANGE AND NUTRITION POLICY

The heightened climate change impacts continue to disrupt livelihoods, deepen food insecurity, and reshape how communities relate to land, water, and nutrition systems. To counter this, communities are increasingly organizing, adapting, and seeking inclusive solutions grounded in their lived realities.

In this video, the Centre for Inclusive Climate Change Adaptation for a Sustainable Africa (ICCASA), a GCAN partner in Kenya, engages stakeholders from Oloitokitok, Kajiado County, in a dialogue bringing together women, men, youth, and community leaders to explore the intersection of gender, climate change, and nutrition.

These dialogues are shaping how communities engage policymakers and, in turn, strengthening community voices in local and national food systems and climate adaptation processes.

Through these conversations, women, youth, and men are jointly rethinking decision-making around food and farming, leading to more diverse production, kitchen gardens, and improved household nutrition. These community-led efforts are reinforcing climate-smart agriculture and inclusive resilience building.

What emerges is a clear shift: when communities speak together, they shape better solutions for climate resilience, nutrition, and sustainable food systems.
