Sub-Saharan Africa contributes less than 4% to global greenhouse gas emissions but remains the most vulnerable region to climate change impacts. Its economies, heavily dependent on natural resources and agriculture, face growing threats from extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, and temperature stress. Although many countries have developed Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), their implementation is constrained by limited financial and institutional capacities.

The project developed up-to-date information on climate change vulnerabilities, greenhouse gas emissions, and opportunities for adaptation and mitigation in 25 African countries, tailored to the specific needs of each country. It also provided training for staff in economic and planning departments to strengthen their capacity to understand and apply climate data. This support has enhanced the ability of African countries to strategically plan long-term climate interventions and to access international climate finance.
