Hotspots for integrated solutions in Kenya
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/175890
Abstract
As the impact of climate change increases, it becomes crucial to identify areas where integrated interventions can achieve multiple objectives. In this study, bivariate LISA analysis was employed to identify land use-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emission sources and conflict hotspots in Kenya. The results suggest that GHG emission priorities and conflict locations tend to be spatially misaligned in Kenya. However, ward-level spatial analysis…
