Cutting down the number of work hours and reducing the size of livestock are some of the new radical measures by households to cope with the effects of climate change, a new report shows.

The intensity of these actions is concentrated in the rural areas where the research shows the impact of climate change is felt more.

The research by the Institute for Development Studies (IDS) at the University of Nairobi in partnership with Afrobarometer notes that at least six in 10 Kenyans are aware of climate change.

Additionally, the majority (73 per cent) cite human activity as the major cause of climate change.
