7. Using examples, discuss the Landscape Approach for effective environmental management (10 marks) 8. Discuss how Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)contribute to Environmental, Social and Economic Transformation of Kenya (10 marks) 9. Using relevant examples analyse how human activities contribute to solid waste accumulation in Narok town. (10 marks) 10. You are Narok County's Environmental Officer. You have been tasked to give a lecture on Climate Change adaptation to Maasai Mara University students. Discuss ten climate change adaptation strategies that would form part of your lecture

7. The Landscape Approach for effective environmental management involves managing land use and natural resource management across multiple jurisdictions to achieve conservation and development goals. For example, the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem in the United States uses a landscape approach to manage wildlife habitat, recreation, and other resources across multiple national parks, forests, and other protected areas.<br /><br />8. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) contribute to the Environmental, Social, and Economic Transformation of Kenya by providing a framework for addressing key challenges such as poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation. For example, SDG 13 focuses on climate action, which can help Kenya transition to a more sustainable and resilient economy. SDG 15 focuses on life on land, which can help protect Kenya's biodiversity and natural resources. SDG 17 focuses on partnerships, which can help Kenya collaborate with other countries to achieve its development goals.<br /><br />9. Human activities contribute to solid waste accumulation in Narok town through activities such as industrial production, construction, and waste disposal. For example, the town's industrial sector generates a significant amount of waste, which can be difficult to manage and dispose of properly. Additionally, the town's population growth and urbanization have led to an increase in waste generation, which can overwhelm the town's waste management infrastructure.<br /><br />10. As Narok County's Environmental Officer, I would discuss the following ten climate change adaptation strategies in my lecture on Climate Change adaptation to Maasai Mara University students:<br /><br />1. Diversify agricultural practices to adapt to changing weather patterns.<br />2. Implement water conservation measures to ensure water availability during dry periods.<br />3. Promote sustainable land use practices to reduce soil erosion and degradation.<br />4. Develop early warning systems for drought and floods.<br />5. Invest in renewable energy infrastructure to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.<br />6. Promote public awareness and education on climate change and adaptation.<br />7. Strengthen community-based natural resource management.<br />8. Develop climate-resilient infrastructure and urban planning.<br />9. Support research and development of new technologies and practices.<br />10. Foster collaboration and coordination among different sectors and stakeholders.
