This book argues that well-designed decentralised renewable energy projects are both a mitigating and adaptive response to climate change. Decentralised renewable energy projects (DREs) address core sustainable development priorities and build adaptive capacity to climate change, without increasing greenhouse gas emissions.The first section explores linking mitigation and adaptation through energy access while the second section looks at the Clean Development Mechanism and decentralised renewable energy.

These five case studies bring to the fore issues women in these countries face and how they are further complicated by the impacts of climate change. Each country page begins with an overview of the national circumstances with respect to climate change and then goes on to spot light the unique challenges with which women are confronted. It ends with a policy brief on what is being done on the government and NGO levels to address these issues.

This article examines the environmental and socioeconomic consequences of hydraulic infrastructural changes along the Senegal River valley and estuary. It examines the impacts of these infrastructural changes, using on-site measurements (topometry, water salinity and piezometry), analysis of hydrological data, field observations and surveys with dam managers, state regional directions and local stakeholders. It stresses the urgency of elaborating models of hydraulic management to limit the negative consequences of the hydraulic constructions.

In June 2011, USAID organized a West African Adaptation Workshop under the Adaptation Partnership in Dakar, Senegal. The workshop had several goals, including improving the awareness of and demand for climate services in the region among decision-makers in various sectors, improving climate service providers’ understanding of decision-makers’ needs, identifying opportunities to design and deliver climate services for decision making, and sharing information on good practices and models.

In the Sahel, the traditional parkland systems, which are the main providers of food, incomes, and environmental services, are rapidly degrading. In spite of the desperate situation, there is a growing number of cases which document success in crop, livestock and forest production, in environmental management, in empowerment and capacity building of farmers, and in a mix of all these. Thus, there is a need to better understand the drivers of such successes as well as the circumstances in which they work, to serve as a basis for future actions.
