Strengthening climate information and early warning systems for climate resilient development and adaptation to climate change in Guinea
The 4-year project (2019 - 2023), "Strengthening climate information and early warning systems for climate resilient development and adaptation to climate change in Guinea", sought to support strengthened national capacities, including the participation of communities to prevent, reduce, mitigate and cope with the impact of the systemic shocks form natural hazards. The project also aimed to strengthen the capacity of developing countries to mainstream climate change adaptation policies into national development plans.
Expected outcomes
Outcome 1. Enhanced capacity of national hydro-meteorological (NHMS) and environmental institutions to monitor extreme weather and climate change
Outcome 2. Efficient and effective use of hydro-meteorological and environmental information for making early warnings and mainstreaming CC in the long-term development plans
