  • Integrating water with climate change adaptation plans

    Integrating water with climate change adaptation plans

    Created by: admin | 2011-07-03 08:21

    Associated Organization: AfricaAdapt

    Summary: This policy brief, published by the UK Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology, argues that water resource management should not be overlooked in plans for climate change adaptation in Africa. Africa is vulnerable to climate change impacts which are, in large part, connected by water. Rainfall is uneven and unpredictable across different parts of the continent and varies dramatically by season. These variations can bring about floods and severe droughts that can last for years.


  • Message to ‘The Hard To Reach’ on Environmental Conservation and Climate Change

    Message to ‘The Hard To Reach’ on Environmental Conservation and Climate Change

    Created by: wamuthoni | 2011-06-29 23:43

    Associated Organization: Tree Is Life Trust

    Summary: Communities living in the project target area have very poor access to ICTs from where they can get updates about climate change contributing to high levels of ignorance. Poor information technology facilities are cited as the cause to the high ignorance levels since they hinder effective information flow. Awareness raising and sensitization activities are seen as the major tools to create sustainable environmental management hence the rationale of this project.
