Disease, flooding and drought are the climatic hazard with the worst impact on livelihoods in two Nyanza villages, a study has shown.

Kakmie in Nyando and Wakula South, Mfangano Island, Homa Bay county, were listed among five climatic hot spots in East Africa.

The study was carried out by Sustainability Development and Environmental Kenya to establish and enhance climate change risks and adaptive capacities of community groups in selected hot spots in East Africa.
