ClaireBD ( talk · contribs) I will be moving the information you added to sub topic (Impacts ) to under context , I believe it is more appropriate there. A new sub topic (Impacts ) is not necessary since there is existing sub topic (Economic impacts ). Gbadegesin Muhammed ( talk) 15:15, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
I couldn't find a reference for this sentence that was in the lead, so I have removed it for now: "Temperatures have already increased by 1 degree Celsius due to climate change." EMsmile ( talk) 16:34, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

I suggest we modify the structure of this article so that it follows the standard headings that are outlined here: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Climate_change/Style_guide. Namely:
In particular, I don't think that these two should be Level 1 headings:
I could work on revisions to use the standard headings if that's OK with others. In the course of doing that I will also do some checking of references to see if we need to rephrase sentences a bit to avoid copyright issues mentioned in another section of the Talk page. How does that sound? PlanetCare ( talk) 14:54, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
More information is needed to cover the topic thoroughly. For example, "Emissions" is the very first heading, but it doesn't yet use any of the four recommended subheadings: energy consumption, transportation, industry and fossil fuel production. How is Kenya contributing to emissions based on its energy consumption? on its approach to transportation? and does Kenya produce any fossil fuels? (The article states that the manufacturing sector uses fossil fuels, but it's not clear whether Kenya produces fossil fuels.)
Under the Heading "Socioeconomic Impacts" it would be good to have more information for a sub-heading on "Impact on cities and urban areas" and also information for a sub-heading on "Impact on migration." There are other ways more information could be added to this article, but Emissions and Socioeconomic impacts are good places to start. PlanetCare ( talk) 01:55, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
Hello @ Mmaua1 and everyone,
Good to see the article being improved but should the first 2 sentences be what you added at
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Climate_change_in_Kenya&direction=next&oldid=1115653289 ?
The first paragraph is now quite long - can it be improved? See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section Chidgk1 ( talk) 11:39, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
