Members of Lamiaceae and Fabaceae are among the most popular therapeutic plants because they contain a wide range of secondary components, especially essential oils. However, they are in danger of extinction due to recent climate changes, global warming, and the uncontrolled consumption of these plants. Understanding how climate change affects medicinal plants can help us create plans to preserve them for future generations. This study discusses climate change impacts on similar medicinal plants in Sivas (Türkiye) and Nairobi (Kenya), regions known for their great biodiversity and long history of medicinal plant use. Both cities host a rich biodiversity of medicinal plants integral to their respective regions’ culture and history. The study covers several plant families, such as Lamiaceae and Fabaceae, common to both regions. These plants are used for their healing properties, particularly for treating bacterial infections in Kenya and as part of traditional cuisine in Sivas. This study highlights the need for further research on the sustainable use of medicinal plants and their potential role in the effects of climate change.}, number={1}, publisher={Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University}
