Vulnerability of key sectors and groups
| Sector | Impact/Risk |
|---|---|
| Water | Water shortage Drought |
| Agriculture | Threaten food security |
| Health | Increased climate-influenced vector- and water-borne diseases such as malaria, cholera and typhoid |
| Energy | Altering growth of forests and agricultural crops |
| Tourism | Loss of tourism attractions such as coral reefs, coastal beaches and Mt. Kenya’s glaciers Changes in wildlife migration patterns and species diversity Damage to infrastructure Water restrictions Higher demand for air conditioning |
| Industries | Will be affected by reduced access to water supplies and hydroelectric power during drought seasons Risk of coastal installation damage due to sea level rise |
| Infrastructure | New construction risk delays due to extreme conditions Risk of damage |
| Vulnerable groups | Increased restriction to access to and control over resources such as capital, credit and land, and hence less able to cope with climate shocks and stresses |
