JAC

is an Indigenous Peoples-led nonprofit founded to protect and promote the rights of indigenous peoples in Kenya with a particular focus on the Rift Valley Region. Among its activities relate to socio-economics and sustainable, culturally relevant development. The JAC aspires to provide a voice to champion for inclusion and equity towards a coordinated and systematic front.

Climate Change & Biological Diversity

World Meteorological Organization (WMO) describes the Climate as the average weather conditions for a particular location and over a long period of time. WCO studies the climate, its variations and extremes, and its influences on various activities, including human health, safety and welfare, to support evidence-based decision-making on how to best adapt to a changing climate. Climate change is any systematic change in the long-term statistics of climate variables such as temperature, precipitation, pressure, or wind sustained over several decades or longer.

JAC engages in the processes and frameworks on climate action and biodiversity, as an indigenous-led and representing organisation; on the auspices of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (Convention on Biological Diversity(IPLCs) as well the Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples Platform of the UNFCCC.  

With the culturally sensitive interventions, Jamii Asilia Centre has designed programs and activities to adapt and mitigate measures to combat the most urgent agenda of our time; climate crisis! This has called for restructuring ecological biodiversity, remodelling into agroecology and making relevant case studies to address the most urgent emergency of our time.

Study into the water rising levels in Lake Bogoria and Lake Baringo.

The first activity we undertook and successfully implemented was research on the water rising levels in the lake systems of the indigenous Endorois and Ilchamus — Lake Bogoria and Lake Baringo. 

How to help?

The Indigenous peoples of both Endorois and Ilchamus made recommendations for support in climate change interventions: further research, water quality, resettlement (land rights), empowerment to women & youth on fishing, among others.
