About this project
Description
The goal of this LDCF financed project is to increase the resilience of Angola's vulnerable coastal communities and economic sectors – including fisheries, agriculture, transport, energy, water and tourism – to the negative effects of climate change. The objective of the project is to enhance the capacity of national government and coastal communities to adapt to climate change along the coast of Angola. The project will achieve this by enhancing the scientific and technical capacity of government staff at a local and national level to identify and prioritise climate change adaptation activities in coastal areas. This will include investments in strengthening the hydrometeorological monitoring network as well as increasing the capacity for forecasting and issuing early warnings for specific climate hazards.
Objectives
To reduce vulnerability to climate change of national government and coastal communities along the coast of Angola. .
