## 📌 Project Overview
This project produces a **Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (CRVA)** for Kenya, generating evidence-based climate vulnerability maps and a county-level risk index to guide adaptation interventions and national policy.
The assessment follows the **IPCC AR6 vulnerability framework**:
```
Risk = f(Hazard, Exposure, Vulnerability)
Vulnerability = f(Sensitivity, Adaptive Capacity)
```
All 47 Kenyan counties are ranked by a composite CRVA score (0–1 scale) derived from multi-criteria spatial analysis in ArcGIS Pro using satellite data, census statistics, and climate datasets.
