This project will train up to 36 emerging climate change leaders in the field of adaptation finance, which funds efforts to adapt to climate change impacts.
This project aims to conserve East Africa's rich biodiversity by strengthening local livelihoods through community-based conservation programs.
Sub-Saharan Africa faces the greatest challenges associated with climate change, yet has limited scientific capacity to manage their adverse effects.
This project is one of seven being financed by IDRC's Africa Adaptation Research Centres (AARC) initiative. It builds on the results obtained from the project, Strengthening the Capacity to Adapt to Climate Change in Rural Bénin (104142).
Although many developing countries are working on appropriate mechanisms for financing adaptation to combat climate-related problems, there is a great need for research and insight to support these efforts.
The Climate Change Adaptation in Africa (CCAA) research and capacity development program aims to improve the capacity of African countries to adapt to climate change in ways that benefit the most vulnerable.
Egyptian coastal populations are already affected by coastal erosion, pollution, land use pressure, demographic growth and ecosystem degradation. They are also vulnerable to the effects of sea level rise, with its accompanying flooding.
The Saiss is a sub-basin of the Sebou basin in Northern Morocco. Due to decreased precipitation and increased water demand, the surface waters of the Saiss basin have been greatly reduced.
Impacts from rising sea levels, coastal flooding and storm surges are becoming a challenging policy issue for planners, local authorities and stakeholders in areas such as Morocco's northeastern coast.
Managing flooding is one of the major challenges Africa faces in regard to climate change.
