Unit summary
Climate change has rapidly emerged as one of the most serious threats to sustainable development, with projections made a decade ago revealing that developing countries are most likely to be negatively impacted by changes in climate (IPCC, 2014). Hence, there is a need for these countries to constantly plan for appropriate mitigation and actions, by improving their climate adaptation capacities for risk management and preparedness in the face of the expected changes. This unit has covered:
- strategic and technical planning for climate change mitigation
- strategic and technical planning for climate change adaptation
- integrated planning for climate change adaptation and mitigation
- policy formulations for climate change adaptation and mitigation
