Climate change in Kenya: Evaluation of the knowledge among Kenyan university students and their willingness to adopt individual mitigation measures

The main goal of this research was to determine what Kenyan university students know about climate change in Kenya and the personal mitigation actions they were prepared to take. Additionally, the study was to establish what influences their knowledge about climate change, and about the knowledge on environmental benefits had on the environmental-friendly behaviours they were willing to adopt. The research shows that the more students know about climate change, the more actions they also do at present. Knowledge of climate change was, however, not the most important factor for the future likelihood of adopting actions.
