Protection of the City of Nouakchott from the impacts of climate change
In Mauritania, GFA supported the integration of climate change adaptation measures into environmental and urban planning of coastal cities in Mauritania and the development of institutional capacities to plan, coordinate and manage these measures. Large parts of Nouakchott are located below sea level and thus prone to flooding events that are increasing in frequency and intensity due to a changing climate. GFA provided training for political stakeholders to enhance the relevant institutional capacities to plan, coordinate and manage climate change adaptation measures, and accompanied a participatory process to systematically integrate climate change adaptation into selected policy frameworks.
