Abstract: This document provides foundational knowledge on climate and climate change for learners and practitioners. It explains the differences between weather and climate, highlights global climatic zones using the Köppen classification, and examines key drivers of climate such as latitude, altitude, proximity to water bodies, and topography. Focusing on Kenya?s ASAL regions, it underscores how temperature, precipitation, humidity, and wind variations affect agriculture and daily life. The content is tailored to improve climate literacy and includes illustrations and diagrams for accessible learning. It introduces climate-smart agriculture as a solution to climate variability, presenting sustainable farming techniques like crop diversification, soil conservation, and water harvesting. Designed for educational settings, this resource contributes to raising awareness and building resilience among communities most vulnerable to climate stressors.
