Strengthening climate information and early warning systems for climate resilient development and adaptation to climate change in Guinea

The 4-year project (2019 - 2023), "Strengthening climate information and early warning systems for climate resilient development and adaptation to climate change in Guinea", sought to support strengthened national capacities, including the participation of communities to prevent, reduce, mitigate and cope with the impact of the systemic shocks form natural hazards. The project also aimed to strengthen the capacity of developing countries to mainstream climate change adaptation policies into national development plans.
