GEOFFREY KIMOTHO



I am Geoffrey Kimotho, a dedicated climate researcher committed to addressing the  challenges posed by climate change in rural East Africa. With a Bachelor’s degree in Social  Work from Kenyatta University, I focus on climate adaptation, governance and  sustainability. 

Throughout my career, I have led several community-based research projects aimed at  enhancing climate adaptation strategies. My work explores how rural communities can  effectively respond to climate change impacts and engage in sustainable practices. I am  passionate about researching the intersection of climate change, particularly in vulnerable  areas to inform policies that promote accountability and long-term resilience. 

In addition to conducting research, I have managed AU-funded projects that empower  grassroots organizations with the knowledge and resources needed to address climate  change. I facilitate capacity-building initiatives designed to equip communities with  practical tools for climate adaptation, ensuring that their voices are heard in decision making processes. 

My expertise in research, data analysis and project management enables me to contribute  valuable insights into climate solutions that support vulnerable communities. I am  committed to advancing climate justice by generating research that shapes effective  policies and strategies for climate adaptation. My goal is to continue advocating for climate  resilience and sustainable development, ensuring that marginalized communities are  equipped to thrive despite the ongoing challenges posed by climate change.
