A time bound action plan for modernization for hydrometeorology services in the ECCAS Region and Members’ States
Background
Central Africa as other Africa building blocks accounts for only 4% of global greenhouse gas emission (GHG), whereas it remains among the most vulnerable regions to the adverse impacts of climate change, owing to its limited adaptive capacity. More than 70% of natural disasters in the sub region are of meteorological origin. This leads to the fact that frameworks for consensual forecasting and information systems deserve to be privileged and consolidated in this way to enable policy makers to make arrangements that will minimize disaster risk.
