    "content": "the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol of 2005 – efforts that contribute to continental and regional climate change mitigation initiatives. Climate change has adverse impacts on key sectors that are important to the economy and the society. They include the environment, water and forestry, agriculture, livestock and fisheries, trade, extractive industries, energy, physical infrastructure, tourism and health. Actually, climate change affects everything that we depend on as human beings. Therefore, in order to safeguard sustainable development, the national climate change framework policy is essential in providing a clear and concise articulation of overall response priorities to climate variability and change. The national climate change framework policy aims at enhancing an adaptive capacity that will build resilience to climate variability and change while promoting low carbon development pathway. The policy focuses on the interlinkages between sustainable national development and climate change through intervention measures that can help achieve the goal of low carbon resilient development. The policy is designed to provide a framework to guide the development and implementation of specific, detailed and costed climate change interventions through regular and periodic change action plans. The objectives of the policy are the following: 1. To establish and maintain an effective institutional framework to mainstream climate change responses across relevant sectors into integrated planning, budgeting, decision-making and implementation at both national and count levels. 2. Reduce vulnerability to the impact of climate change by building adaptive capacity, enhancing climate change resilience and strengthening capacities for disaster risk reduction. 3. Catalyses Kenya transition to clean lower emission and less carbon intensive development. 4. Incentivise private sector involvement in building climate change resilience and engaging in low carbon development opportunities. 5. Facilitate widespread public awareness, participation, ownership and oversight of Kenya’s climate change response efforts and action plans. 6. Provide a framework to mobilise resources for Kenya climate change response and ensure efficient, effective and transparent utilisation of resources. 7. Adopt intergenerational special needs and gender mainstreaming approaches across all aspects of Kenya’s climate change response. 8. Provide the policy framework to facilitate effective implementation of regularly updated and scientifically informed climate change action plans. 9. Enhance research and use of science and technology in policy decisions and sustainable management of resources. Kenya’s continued vulnerability to climate change and the threat it poses to achieving long term development goals has not been clearly recognised. Therefore, this is a policy designed consisting of legislative and institutional framework that will provide a regulatory architecture comprising the vital components of climate change governance. I beg to move and call upon Hon. Kositany to second."
