National Adaptation programme of Action (NAPA)- Sierra Leone

Topics: 
Description: 

The Government of Sierra Leone has recognised that climate change related disasters

such as flooding, drought, coastal erosion, deforestation and biodiversity loss etc. are natural phenomena aggravated by human activities including the emission of green house gases. Damage and losses from such disasters are however the consequence of human

action. The National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA) for Sierra Leone has been

prepared by the Ministry of Transport and Aviation (MTA), as a response to the decision

of the Seventh Session of the Conference of the Parties (COP7) of the United Nations

Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The preparation process has

followed the generic guiding principles outlined in the NAPA annotated Guideline

according to the project coordinator. The whole preparation process was guided by the

high powered Project Steering Committee headed by the Chairman, Director of the

Environment, of the Ministry of Lands, Country Planning and the Environment. The

basic approach to NAPA preparation was in consonance with the sustainable

development goals and objectives of the country where it has recognized the necessity of addressing environmental issues and natural resource management with the participation of stakeholders.
