How might Kenya's climate change by 2080?
Under a high-emissions scenario (SSP5-8.5), about 14% of Kenya's land shifts toward a warmer climate zone by 2080, lifting its climate-hazard pressure index from 69 to 70 out of 100. This Koppen-based outlook is a separate, forward-looking measure from the historical ND-GAIN scores.
