Abstract

This project proposes to carry out climate change adaptation pilot projects in communities in eight African countries, six of which are least developed countries. The communities will be selected in collaboration with relevant actors, particularly meteorological services, using the South-South-North Adaptation Project Protocol (SSNAPP), a methodology used for mapping vulnerability to climate change. The projects, implemented by nongovernmental organizations, will take a learning-by-doing approach, identifying ways of communicating climate change information to poor communities, and from communities to other stakeholders. The lessons learned will be shared with stakeholders at the local, national, regional and international levels, and inform ongoing initiatives promoting climate change adaptation and sustainable development.
