Addressing Conflict Sensitive Gaps Through Climate-Informed and Gender-Inclusive Strategies
Abstract
Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) in Kenya are increasingly prone to conflict exacerbated by recurrent droughts as a result of climate change. This manuscript identifies critical gaps in existing conflict resolution mechanisms within these regions, drawing from the Peace Committee Meeting (May 9, 2025), the Kenya National Action Plan (KNAP) for UNSCR 1325, and existing local peace agreements. Key challenges include the lack of climate-sensitive conflict anticipation, limited gender inclusion, poor harmonization with local by-laws, and weak coordination structures. The study proposes climate-informed, gender-responsive, and community-rooted strategies to strengthen conflict resolution and resilience in ASALs. Through comprehensive analysis of 47 peace agreements and 23 county-level implementation frameworks, this research presents a roadmap for sustainable peacebuilding that addresses the nexus between climate vulnerability and social conflict in Kenya's most fragile ecosystems.
