Understanding how climate change affects Kenya and assessing the efficacy of mitigation measures implemented by various state and non-state entities are the driving forces behind the study. The study objectives were to examine the climate mitigation strategies and initiatives employed by the Kenya Climate Change Working Group, to analyze the effectiveness of the climate mitigation strategies and initiatives implemented by the Kenya Climate Change Working Group, and to analyze the challenges faced by the Kenya Climate Change Working Group in climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts. The Collective Action theory and the Social Movements theory inform the study. Semi-structured interviews and document analysis served as the main methods for collecting data in this qualitative study. These tools made it easier to explore participant perspectives, experiences, and knowledge on civil society participation in climate change activities. The study used a narrative analysis strategy to assess the data gathered under the study's goals. The population comprised the study population of the decision-makers, key informants, and stakeholders from the KCCWG and other pertinent organizations participating in Kenya's climate change governance and policy. The sample size was decided using a purposeful sampling technique, considering inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants were chosen based on their knowledge, participation in climate change activities, and capacity to offer insightful information about the function of civil society in climate change response and mitigation methods. The findings will help to fill policy and governance gaps, assess the efficacy of present mitigation efforts, and highlight the potential effects of climate change on Kenya's socioeconomic and natural systems.
