DESCRIPTION

This presentation gives an overview of the experiences of Rwanda in climate change adaptation planning. This was presented in April 2014 at the NAP-GSP Africa Regional Training Workshop (Anglophone) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This event gathered Government representatives from Ministries of Environment, Planning and Finance from 15 least developed African countries to consider the NAP process, which aims to address the medium to long–term climate change adaptation challenges for Africa.
