CTCN

A country cannot mitigate or adapt to climate change without first strengthening skills and the knowledge to do so. The CTCN works with network members and local stakeholders to provide information, training and support to build and/or strengthen the capacity of developing countries to identify, maintain and adapt climate technology solutions.  Capacity building and training can enable decision-makers to initiate change on local and national level. As part of this effort, the CTCN strives to develop analytical tools, policies and best practices for country-driven climate mitigation and adaptation. Below you will find related publications, partners, CTCN technical assistance, technologies and other information for exploring this topic further.

    Context

    Sierra Leone has been ranked as the most vulnerable nation after Bangladesh and Guinea Bissau to adverse effects of climate change. The population is highly vulnerable to climate change and due to high reliance to rain fed agriculture and natural resources-based livelihoods which are hard hit by the result of the associated global temperature increase. This is despite that the country's greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) are negligible. Thus, the country needs to plan accordingly and integrate climate change planning across its sectors.
