      abstract = {For the first time in history, in 2015, a majority of  governments across the globe came to a consensus on the way  forward in relation to mitigation and adaptation to the  effects of climate change. As a response to this, countries  set out ambitious national targets towards achievement of  the objectives of the Pars Agreement. However, there was no  clear approach of how countries would achieve these  ambitious targets especially for a country like Kenya which  heavily depends on agriculture as a contributor of its  Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The specific objective was to  understand how the agricultural sector is dealing with the  effects of climate change. The findings of the study  indicated that Kenya has set an enabling environment  through various policies and legislations that support  climate change mitigation and adaptation actions. In  addition, The results from the study indicated that Kenya  has adopted a sector approach in dealing with matters of  climate change and in particular, the agricultural sector  has set various guidelines through various laws that  promote Climate Smart Agriculture that can be applied in  the various County Governments of the Country and for  possible replication in other countries across the globe.},
