In 2010, the Kenyan Government under the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources published the “National Climate Change Response Strategy” which “acknowledges that the change in the Earth’s climate and its adverse effects are a common concern of humankind” and it recognizes “the need to enhance coordination of climate change activities in the country, with a view to ensuring a climate-proof socioeconomic development anchored on a low-carbon path”.
Particularly in Kenya, since the early 1960s, temperatures have risen (by 0.7 – 2.0 °C on average) and rainfalls have become irregular and unpredictable. Consequently, aridity and desertification have affected many counties, above all in the northern region of the country.

If we consider “development” only as “economic growth”, we will definitely encounter many obstacles, first of all the one represented by the limited natural resources. Besides, the uncontrolled Earth’s exploitation, in the long run, will affect whole humankind, regardless people’s social status or income. That’s why the SDG 17 which calls for a stronger Global Partnership is essential in counterbalancing these effects.

For these reasons, our goal is to contribute to the optimization in the use of natural resources and to the development of processes of adaptation and mitigation of the effects of climate change by means of activities that raise awareness, provide support for managing the territory, protect livelihoods and promote the use of energy-efficient resources. Climate justice means ensuring that people who are suffering get support and compensation. People must adapt and build resilient livelihoods in the countryside as well as in cities.

One World One Future Trust, as proved by its own name, has been founded on a solid political vision: if we want to prosper, other than survive, we have to adopt a global perspective even when acting locally. We share the same world and we will share the same destiny as well.
