The Visibilize4Climate Action project aims to make visible, through research, public and policy engagement, the impact of climate change on the nutritional status and mental health of vulnerable populations in the East African drylands (arid, semi-arid, and dry sub-humid zones), to catalyze context-specific climate policy and practice change at scale. Climate change directly affects health and well-being by driving land degradation, exacerbating poverty and food and nutrition insecurity.
