    "content": " Hon. Speaker, the Cabinet Secretary has noted that climate change is here with us and the impacts are poised to worsen. Africa is identified as one of the most vulnerable continents to climate change. This is due to the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, and other pre-existing vulnerabilities, such as high levels of poverty and significant ongoing fiscal challenges. Kenya is highly vulnerable to climate change. The Kenyan economy is particularly vulnerable to climate change because: 1. Its dependence on natural resources, such as water for energy and food, 2. The country's exposure to climate-sensitive sectors includes agriculture, tourism, and wildlife, among others. Furthermore, the repeating patterns of floods and droughts in Kenya have had devastating socioeconomic impacts and high economic costs. The Cabinet Secretary provided the legal and policy frameworks whose goals are to promote climate-resilient development. We achieve this by pursuing several objectives, which include providing an effective and efficient institutional framework for mainstreaming climate change, reducing vulnerability and catalysing the transition to climate-resilient development, incentivizing private sector involvement, and establishing a framework for resource mobilisation to support adaptation. They include: 1. National Climate Change Response Strategy, 2010; 2. National Policy for the Sustainable Development of Northern Kenya and Other Arid Lands, 2012 3. National Climate Change Action Plans, 2013-2017, 2018-2022, and 2023-2027; 4. National Adaptation Plan 2015–2030; The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor"
