NAKURU, RIFT VALLEY, KENYA - 2021/10/17: A view of a submerged Roberts Camp after the unprecedented rise of water levels in Lake Baringo. The flooding situation in Rift Valley lakes exacerbated by climate change has led to displacement of thousands of people from their homes and work. There are growing calls for world leaders to put more effort in addressing the effects of climate change. Communities living near the catchment areas in the global south are the most affected.
