Good governance and planning can enable a faster and more efficient transition to low-carbon societies and countries’ improved climate mitigation and adaptation capacities. The CTCN provides technical assistance to developing countries with a view to strengthen climate planning. Approaches such as planning adaptation activities together with communities, developing Environmental Information System’s that facilitate better basis for decision-making, and identifying countries’ technology needs are useful enablers. Below you will find related publications, partners, CTCN technical assistance, technologies and other information for exploring this topic further.
Burundi is the 14th most vulnerable country and is the 17th least ready country–meaning that it is extremely vulnerable to, yet very unready to combat climate change effects. Climate adaptation requires changes in behavior and appropriate technologies and measures to increase the resilience to floods and drought and provide protection to the main sectors such as agriculture, (critical) infrastructure, people and the environment where the risk of storm surge and flooding is imminent.
As a landlocked country, Mali is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate stress due to its socio-economic status, geographic location and climate-sensitive economy. Two thirds of the country is located in the arid Sahara and semi-arid Sahel. Mali is exposed to recurrent extreme events, including severe droughts with variable rainfall and catastrophic floods.
