Abstract

Purpose: Although knowledge on climate variability is vital in addressing livelihood vulnerability to climate shocks, studies that link climate variability to rural livelihood responses and changes are few. The general objective of the study was to understand perception of climate variability and livelihood response strategies among the communities in the northern part of Kenya. Methodology: The paper used a desk study review methodology where relevant empirical literature was reviewed to identify main themes and to extract knowledge gaps. Findings: There is need for concerted efforts to build not only on adopted household adaptation strategies but also help them reduce current vulnerability as well as build future resilience. Unique Contribution to Theory and Practice: There is need to engage communities to understand their levels of vulnerability and design their own sustainable adaptation action plans. This can be done through adoption of the Community Managed Disaster Risk Reduction (CMDRR) model which among other measures involve capacity building of community members and development partners to participate in and help local people adapt to their livelihood strategies accordingly. Keywords: Climate change impacts, adaptation, livelihood adaptation strategies, climate variability, household

肯尼亚北部地区社区的气候变化和应对策略。批判性文献综述
目的:虽然关于气候变率的知识对于解决生计对气候冲击的脆弱性至关重要,但将气候变率与农村生计响应和变化联系起来的研究很少。该研究的总体目标是了解肯尼亚北部社区对气候变率和生计应对策略的看法。研究方法:本文采用桌面研究回顾方法,对相关的实证文献进行回顾,以确定主题并提取知识空白。研究结果:需要协调一致的努力,不仅要建立在已采用的家庭适应战略的基础上,还要帮助他们减少当前的脆弱性,并建立未来的复原力。对理论和实践的独特贡献:有必要让社区参与进来,了解他们的脆弱性水平,并设计他们自己的可持续适应行动计划。这可以通过采用社区管理的减少灾害风险(CMDRR)模式来实现,该模式除其他措施外,还涉及社区成员和发展伙伴的能力建设,以参与并帮助当地人民相应地适应其生计战略。关键词:气候变化影响;适应;生计适应策略
