Abstract

Presentation of national- and production-system-level analysis of climate change mitigation potential in Kenya’s beef sector under future climate conditions. The work examines African livestock production under climate variability, productivity constraints and high emissions intensity, and evaluates pathways for increasing beef production while reducing greenhouse-gas emissions per unit of product.
