@youth-and-urbanism.bsky.socialWorld Mental Health Day. Oxfam's 2022 research on care and climate records depression and distress among carers, and notes they lack time to care for their own health. In Mathare that time never arrives. #ClimateAndCare4Her #YouthAndUrbanism

@youth-and-urbanism.bsky.socialOfficial disaster assessments in Nairobi's informal settlements count broken walls and lost stock. They do not count the grandmother who held the household together through the flood. Our Climate and Care workshop wants care burden assessed too. #ClimateAndCare4Her #YouthAndUrbanism

@youth-and-urbanism.bsky.socialKenya's Climate Change Act 2016 builds a Council, a Directorate and a Fund, and never says care work. Section 5(j) asks for gender equity without defining it to include care. We propose a new section 5(k) on care-responsive adaptation planning. #ClimateAndCare4Her #YouthAndUrbanism
