Kamoji Wachira: The Unfolding Climate Crisis – Part One

In this powerful and urgent reflection, renowned environmental scholar Kamoji Wachiira shares critical insights from over 25 years of experience in climate change policy, research, and education across Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Speaking with clarity and conviction, Wachira challenges us to confront the reality that we are no longer facing climate change—we are living through a climate crisis of planetary proportions. Drawing on global data and local realities, he explains how the current levels of carbon emissions -already locked into the atmosphere - will shape the next 300 to 400 years of human survival,particularly in vulnerable regions like Africa. He emphasizes that while mitigation efforts by major polluters (such as the U.S., China, and the Europe) remain essential, countries like Kenya must now urgently prioritize local adaptation strategies. From unbearable heat waves and food insecurity to the challenges of housing forced migration, Wachiira outlines the multifaceted threats already unfolding. He argues passionately for community-driven planning, strategic investment in adaptive infrastructure, and county-level preparedness tailored to unique geographic and socio-economic vulnerabilities. He also questions the role of scientists, engineers, and policy-makers in translating research into life-saving action. #ClimateChange #Adaptation #AfricaClimateAction #LocalSolutions #ClimateCrisis #SustainableDevelopment
