Just transition through the lens of women, children and nature rights in Kenya
This paper explores Kenya's pursuit of just transition through the integrated lens of Women's, Children's, and Nature's (WCN) rights. The paper applies intersectionality, environmental justice, and rights-based frameworks to explore how Kenya's constitutional and policy frameworks address equity.

The Cambridge Handbook of the Sustainable Development Goals and International Law
In 2015, the United Nations established seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) that aimed 'to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all' by 2030. The chapters within this collection address each of these SDGs, considering how they relate to one another and international law, and what institutions could aid their implementation. Development has been a contentious topic since the decolonization period after World War II, and issue…
Preface
The land question in many African countries has geographical, political, economic, social and demographic nuances. These factors colour land and resource rights for pastoral and forest-dwelling communities. Land tenure--the nature and manner in which rights to and interests in various categories of land are created or determined, allocated and enjoyed--is pivotal to land as property, especially for resource-dependent communities for whom land and…
Mobility, Marginality and Tenure Transformation in Kenya
Community land rights were officially recognized for the first time in Kenya's 2010 Constitution on the basis of 'ethnicity, culture or similar community of interest'. It remains to be seen whether this will begin to reverse the trend of over-emphasis on individual tenure and sedentary agricultural land uses. Against this background, this article interrogates the various narratives around defining 'community' that have emerged in national and loc…
Coping with Global Environmental Change, Disasters and Security
Land Use Law for Sustainable Development
Trouble in Eden
This article looks at the role of land and grievances thereto in the post-election violence experienced in Kenya in late 2007 and early 2008. It argues that the failure of post-colonial governments to craft a cohesive and inclusive national agenda for development has resulted in a fragmented populace. This fragmentation militates against a national ethic as the citizenry congregate around their ethnic groupings as a source of security and guarant…
Gender, Rights and Development
The article problematises legal issues surrounding women's rights to land and related resources. It avers that in a plural legal context, there is need to engage all forms of law if law is to be an effective medium for challenging gendered notions of access to, control over and ownership of property. This is a key challenge in East African countries seeking to frame property and natural resource policies and laws that promote development
