Kenya continues to experience the severe effects of climate change, including erratic rainfall patterns, devastating floods and prolonged droughts. Despite being among the most vulnerable regions globally, Kenya and Africa at large still face a major gap in climate data availability.
Climate data is essential for understanding environmental trends, predicting risks, informing policy, and developing solutions that help communities adapt to and mitigate climate change impacts.
Against this backdrop, Israel has deployed a mobile climate laboratory in Kenya to help address Africa’s long-standing data deficit and improve the accuracy of environmental decision-making across the continent.
Israel is a global leader in climate research and innovation, particularly in water management, agriculture, renewable energy and smart transportation.
