read moreThe West Africa Coastal Climate Change National Adaptation Planning workshop was hosted by USAID West Africa (USAID/WA) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in collaboration with USAID’s Global Climate Change Office and its Climate Change Resilient Development (CCRD) Program and the Water Office’s Sustainable Coastal Communities and Ecosystems (SUCCESS) Program and was implemented by the University of Rhode Island/Coastal Resources Center. The objectives of the workshop were to demonstrate and refine methods for national adaptation planning and facilitate the integration of climate change adaptation into development plans, processes, and strategies, as well as to agree on a road map for a regional plan of action that supports the NAP process in each country. Finally, the workshop aimed to document experiences to inform and influence the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and other relevant international processes.

read moreCoastal ecosystems are under pressure from population growth, habitat change, thermal stress, sea level rise, acidification, resource over-exploitation and degradation, pollution, and altered freshwater flows. Pressure on the coast is likely to increase with continuing climate change, population growth, urbanization trends, and the fact that most of the world’s largest cities are located in the coastal zone. It is, therefore, critically important that everything possible be done to avoid and reduce the impacts of human activities on invaluable coastal ecosystems and to find alternatives to “business as usual.”
