Following the achievement of the state of play of the CBD in relation to the actions implemented over the period 2017-2019, Benin has embarked on the process of updating this instrument with a view to raising the ambition set out in the CBD and providing greater clarity and transparency for a better understanding of the instrument on the one hand and for better monitoring of its implementation on the other. To this end, Benin intends to demonstrate its firm determination to contribute further to the global effort to reduce greenhouse gases.", "With this in mind, Benin intends to demonstrate its firm commitment to further contributing to the global effort to reduce greenhouse gases. This document, which has been prepared with the broad participation of various stakeholders from public, private, local and NGO structures, constitutes the updated CDN of Benin. The Republic of Benin is located in West Africa between latitudes 6\u00b030\u2019 and 12\u00b030\u2019 North and longitudes 1\u00b0 and 3\u00b040\u2019 East, with an area of 114.763 km2. The population of Benin is estimated at 10.008.749 inhabitants (RGPH4, 2013) with an average annual population growth rate of about 3.52%. Administratively, Benin currently has twelve (12) departments subdivided into 77 communes.", "Administratively, Benin currently has twelve (12) departments subdivided into 77 communes. There are two main types of climate in Benin: the sub-equatorial climate of the southern region and the continental tropical climate of the northern region. Socio-economically, Benin experienced an unstable economic situation between 1996 and 2015, with gross domestic product (GDP) fluctuating between 2 and 6 per cent on the whole. However, thanks to the economic reforms currently being carried out by the government, GDP reached a record 6.8 per cent in 2018 (Source, IMF). However, GDP per capita growth remains low, due to sustained population growth and low policy performance, leaving little scope for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.", "However, GDP per capita growth remains low, owing to sustained population growth and low policy performance, leaving little scope for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. Awareness of the challenges related to climate change has led to the development and adoption of several policies, strategies and response programmes by Benin. On the legal front, it should be noted that under the heading of climate change, a law regulating climate change in the Republic of Benin was voted by parliament on 18 June 2018 and promulgated on 06 August 2018.", "On the legal level, it should be noted that under the heading of climate change, a law regulating climate change in the Republic of Benin was voted by the parliament on 18 June 2018 and promulgated on 06 August 2018. In terms of development priorities and objectives, the Republic of Benin, despite the remaining bottlenecks or existing challenges, has made commendable efforts, in particular in terms of infrastructure development, security and governance. However, the level of operationalisation of the existing strategies remains low in order to bring about a significant evolution towards the achievement of their respective visions and that of the National Long-term Perspective Studies \"Benin Alafia 2025\". On the climate finance front, Benin has created the National Fund for the Environment and Climate (FNEC) accredited by the Green Climate Fund (FVC). 2.1.", "In terms of climate finance, Benin has established the National Fund for the Environment and Climate (FNEC) accredited by the Green Climate Fund (FVC). 2.1. Current greenhouse gas emissions and projections if the status quo is maintained Benin\u2019s total GHG emissions in 2018 are approximately 16.94 Mt CO2 equivalent (Mt E-CO2), or about 1.5 tonnes E-CO2 per capita, excluding the land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) sector. These emissions come from the energy sector (58.09%), agriculture (28.51%), waste (5.38%) and industrial processes (1.22%) and other sectors (vegetation fires and HFC emissions) at 6.80%. Taking LULUCF into account, net GHG emissions are 9.62 Mt E-CO2.", "Taking LULUCF into account, net GHG emissions are 9.62 Mt E-CO2. In terms of projections, if the status quo scenario is maintained, the trend in aggregate emissions (excluding LULUCF) shows a 71% increase over the period 2018-2030 from 16.94 Mt E-CO2 to 29.02 Mt E-CO2 (Figure 1). The total cumulative aggregate GHG emissions without any intervention over the period 2021-2030 is approximately 241.98 Mt E-CO2 (excluding LULUCF).", "For the coming years, the measures envisaged in the revised NCD in the Energy, Agriculture and Waste sectors (see Tables 5, 6, 7 and 8 below) are likely to contribute to a reduction in cumulative GHG emissions (excluding LULUCF) of approximately 48.75 Mt E-CO2 from the baseline scenario, i.e. a reduction of 20.15% over the period 2021-2030. 2.2. Climate Change Mitigation Objectives and Measures Based on existing strategies, plans and programs, key sectoral climate change mitigation objectives and measures are identified and documented in Tables 3 to 5. 2.3.", "Objectives and measures for climate change mitigation On the basis of existing strategies, plans and programmes, the key sectoral objectives and measures for climate change mitigation are identified and recorded in Tables 3 to 5. 2.3. Strategies, programmes and implementation projects The implementation of sectoral mitigation activities (agriculture, energy, forestry and waste) under the CDN will be based on existing strategies, programmes and projects and on future programmes and projects.", "In view of its membership of the Group of the Least Developed Countries (LDCs), its environmental context and its development objectives, adaptation remains the priority for the Republic of Benin in its response to climate change, although it unconditionally subscribes to the global effort, oriented towards the mitigation strategy. 3.1. Benin\u2019s vulnerability to climate change The assessment of Benin\u2019s vulnerability to climate change on behalf of the updated CDN is based essentially on the results of studies or evaluations carried out, inter alia, within the framework of the Third National Communication on Climate Change and the Technology Needs Assessment Process, and of development programmes or projects aimed at adaptation objectives.", "Benin\u2019s vulnerability to climate change The assessment of Benin\u2019s vulnerability to climate change on behalf of the updated CDN is based essentially on the results of studies or assessments carried out, inter alia, within the framework of the Third National Communication on Climate Change and the Technology Needs Assessment process, and of development programmes or projects aimed at adaptation objectives. Current major climate risks affecting livelihoods in particularly vulnerable sectors (agriculture, water resources, coastal areas, etc.) include flooding, drought, late and heavy rainfall, strong winds, excessive heat and sea-level rise.", "Current major climate risks affecting livelihoods in particularly vulnerable sectors (agriculture, water resources, coastal areas, etc.) include flooding, drought, late and heavy rainfall, strong winds, excessive heat and sea level rise. The impacts observed over the past three decades include, among others, decreased agricultural yields, disruption of agricultural schedules, decreased water levels in drinking water supply dams due to increased evaporation of 3-4% annually (Houngue et al.", "In terms of future vulnerability, assessments based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) new climate scenarios RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 (Representative Concentration Change Profiles) show that annual precipitation projections at different time horizons (2030, 2050) using the CSIRO and CCCMA models show downward or upward trends depending on the model, but negative variations remain dominant (MCVDD, 2019).", "With respect to temperatures (means, minimums and maximums), the projections generally indicate a warming trend for 2030 and 2050. Potential impacts include an increase in sea level of about 0.81m by 2100, with direct effects of coastal flooding and saltwater intrusion into rivers and water bodies. This could affect human settlements, health, and fishing activities (MEHU, 2011). A probable decrease in surface water flows by 2050 could also be expected over the entire Ou\u00e9m\u00e9 River basin in a scenario of reduced rainfall in the northern part of the country and a shift in flood periods in the Beninese part of the Niger basin, as a result of a significant decrease in the seasonal rainfall regime (MEHU, 2011).", "In addition, the outlook for corn yields (75-day SYN variable) is 21.6% and 28.8%, respectively, for 2030 and 2050, cotton yields are 0.9% and 6.3%, respectively, for 2030 and 2050, and disease prevalence, including foot-and-mouth disease, small ruminant plague, nodular dermatosis, and the spread of ticks of the genus Rhipicephalus Boophilus microplus, high fish mortality and habitat loss is projected.", "and the spread of ticks of the genus Rhipicephalus Boophilus microplus, high fish mortality and loss of ecological habitat for fish species. 3.2.", "In addition, the outlook for corn yields (75-day SYN) is 21.6% and 28.8%, respectively, for 2030 and 2050, for cotton yields are 0.9% and 6.3%, respectively, for 2030 and 2050, and for disease prevalence, including foot-and-mouth disease, small ruminant plague, nodular dermatosis and the spread of ticks of the genus Rhipicephalus Boophilus microplus, high fish mortality and loss of ecological habitats for fish species. 3.2. Climate change adaptation targets Based on existing strategies, plans and programs, key sectoral climate change adaptation targets are defined for the time horizons 2025, 2030 and are set out in Table 8. 3.3.", "Climate change adaptation objectives On the basis of existing strategies, plans and programmes, the key sectoral climate change adaptation objectives are defined for the time horizons 2025, 2030 and are set out in Table 8. 3.3. Strategies, programmes and implementation projects The implementation of adaptation activities at the level of the eight (8) sectors considered (agriculture, water resources, forestry, coastal, tourism, energy, health, urban development and infrastructure) under the updated CBD will be based on existing strategies, programmes and projects and on future programmes and projects. 4. FRAMEWORK FOR GENDER INTEGRATION IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CBD The integration of gender into the implementation of the CBD seems extremely important in view of the role played by a particularly vulnerable social stratum, in this case women, in combating climate change.", "FRAMEWORK FOR THE INTEGRATION OF Gender IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CBD The integration of gender in the implementation of the CBD appears to be extremely important in view of the role played by a particularly vulnerable section of society, namely women, in the fight against climate change. In this respect, the integration of gender in the updated CBD document is envisaged with a view to providing a comprehensive overview of the possibilities for gender mainstreaming.", "5. INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE UNCCD The implementation of Benin\u2019s updated National Determined Contribution (NDC) is carried out under the aegis of the Ministry of the Framework for Life and Sustainable Development (MCVDD), acting as the national focal point for the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change.

The population of Benin is estimated at 10.008.749 inhabitants (RGPH4, 2013) with an average annual rate of population growth of 3.52%. The average density is 29 inhabitants/km2 with a higher population concentration noted in the south of the country. Administratively, Benin currently has twelve (12) departments subdivided into 77 communes. In Benin, two main types of climate are distinguished: the sub-equatorial climate characterizing the southern region and the continental tropical climate governing the northern region. Average annual precipitation ranges from 700 mm (far north) to 1500 mm (far south-east), while air temperatures vary on average", "Average annual precipitation varies between 700 mm (extreme north) and 1500 mm (extreme south-east), while air temperatures vary on average around 27.2 \u00b0C, with absolute maximums in the north reaching over 45 \u00b0C. The last two decades have been particularly marked by an increase in climate variability, characterised in particular by the recurrence of extreme weather events (such as floods), the disruption of seasonal rainfall patterns and an increasingly remarkable reduction in the number of rain events. With regard to air temperature, the normal deviations (1981-2010) of the annual averages range from -0.7 \u00b0C to +1.3 \u00b0C. On the socio-economic front, Benin experienced an unstable economic situation during the period 1996-2015, marked by a fluctuation in gross domestic product (GDP) of between 2% and 6% overall.", "At the socio-economic level, Benin experienced an unstable economic situation during the period 1996-2015, with a fluctuation in gross domestic product (GDP) ranging from 2 to 6 per cent on the whole. However, thanks to the economic reforms currently being carried out by the public authorities, GDP reached a record 6.8 per cent in 2018 (Source, IMF). While GDP per capita growth remains low, due to sustained population growth and low policy performance, there is little scope for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.

It aims, among other things, to stabilize greenhouse gas emissions at a level that prevents any disturbances to the global climate system. With the end of the commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, the Paris Agreement was adopted. Its main", "Its main objective is to keep the increase in global temperature \u201cwell below\u201d 2\u00b0C by striving to limit it to 1.5\u00b0C. To this end, the DRC is resolutely committed to contributing to the achievement of this global objective, while taking into account the challenges of modernization and sustainable development, including efforts to adopt a trajectory of low-carbon development in a context of emergence. The DRC has already submitted three National Communications on climate change and carried out several initiatives, including the National Action Program for Adaptation; the National Framework Strategy for the Reduction of Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation; the Forest Reference Emissions Level; and the National Adaptation Plan.", "The DRC has already submitted three National Communications on climate change and carried out several initiatives, including the National Action Program for Adaptation; the National Framework Strategy for the Reduction of Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation; the Forest Reference Emissions Level; and the National Adaptation Plan. In 2015, prior to the adoption of the Paris Agreement, the DRC submitted its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to the UNFCCC, the emission reduction target of which was 17%, and aimed mainly at three gases, namely: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) from the Energy sectors; Agriculture; and Forestry and other Land Use.

Vision of the DRC in the field of climate change. The DRC s vision in the fight against climate change is to promote a green, resilient and low-carbon economy by rationally and sustainably managing its significant natural resources in order to guarantee ecological balance and social well-being, economic, cultural and environmental of its population. The DRC ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1997, the Kyoto Protocol in 2005 and the Paris Agreement in 2017.", "The DRC ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1997, the Kyoto Protocol in 2005 and the Paris Agreement in 2017. To this end, the DRC is resolutely committed to taking urgent measures to mitigate its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and adapt to the effects of climate change, in accordance with Article 41 of the Paris Agreement. It has also submitted its first three National Communications on climate change to the UNFCCC, respectively in 2001, 2009 and 2015 and is in the process of preparing its fourth National Communication and finalizing its first Biennial Update Report (BUR). Although its emissions primarily from forestry and land use, followed by waste management, agriculture and energy consumption constitute a significant part of its carbon footprint to require appropriate climate action, they are among lowest in the world (MEDD, 2015).", "Although its emissions primarily from forestry and land use, followed by waste management, agriculture and energy consumption constitute a significant part of its carbon footprint to require appropriate climate action, they are among lowest in the world (MEDD, 2015). However, it remains very vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Therefore, adaptation to climate change is a major concern and priority for the country. NDC review process. The DRC submitted its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) to the UNFCCC in 2015, setting out its adaptation and mitigation goals. With the DRC s ratification of the Paris Agreement in 2017, the INDC became its first Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). The conditional reduction target referred to under the 2015 submission was 17% by 2030, taking into account three main sectors, including Energy, Agriculture and Forest", "The conditional reduction target referred to under the 2015 submission was 17% by 2030, taking into account three main sectors, including Energy, Agriculture and Forestry, associated with emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide. nitrogen (N2O). This NDC, whose reduction target is set at 21% with conditional interventions at 19%, and unconditional at 2%, updates and strengthens the first in terms of contributions to mitigation and adaptation, from a hand, and through improved data collection, in-depth technical analysis and extensive stakeholder engagement, on the other hand. It includes, in addition to the three aforementioned sectors (Agriculture, Forestry and Energy), that of Waste and concerns the same gases. The budget for this revised NDC is estimated at USD 48.68 billion,", "The budget for this revised NDC is estimated at USD 48.68 billion, including USD 25.60 billion for the implementation of the mitigation initiatives announced and USD 23.08 billion for priority adaptation measures. Contribution to mitigation. The mitigation measures implemented by the DRC mainly concern the forestry sector, in particular the implementation of its national strategy to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+). In addition to the REDD+ strategy, the DRC s nationally determined contribution presents certain mitigation measures and actions in the energy (including transport), agriculture and waste sectors. Unfortunately, to date, these few initiatives in sectors that emit less GHGs are less documented. However, the DRC is committed to improving its data collection and management system and to formalizing the institutional arrangements that support the collection,", "However, the DRC is committed to improving its data collection and management system and to formalizing the institutional arrangements that support the collection, analysis, processing and reporting of data. The DRC wants to be an emerging country by 2030, with a vision of development towards an increasingly low-carbon economy. Given the dynamics of development in which the DRC is committed by 2030, its efforts should materialize in the implementation of various mitigation measures in all sectors. The combined unconditional and conditional contribution is thus a 21% reduction in total GHG emissions compared to the BAU in 2030 (including 19% conditional and 2%vunconditional); this equates to an estimated mitigation level of up to 650 Mt CO2e by 2030.

The analysis of the historical trend of GHG emissions in the DRC shows that, during the period from 2000-2018, national emissions are predominated by the \"Forestry and other Land Use (FAT)\" sector with nearly 86% of emissions, followed by far by the Waste, Energy and Agriculture sectors with 11%, 0.86% and 0.61% respectively. The AFOLU and energy sectors are the two largest sources of carbon dioxide emissions. The AFOLU and waste sectors are the main sources of methane emissions. Figure 1 below shows that greenhouse gas emissions from the Forestry and Other Land Use sector were estimated at 529.22 MtCO2e in 2018.", "Figure 1 below shows that greenhouse gas emissions from the Forestry and Other Land Use sector were estimated at 529.22 MtCO2e in 2018. 2018 emissions are 36% lower than previous emission levels reported over the period 2010-2014 due to investments supported by various REDD+ initiatives and programs, including structural changes in forest management in the DRC. The AFOLU sector is systematically identified as being the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the DRC. Figure 1: Historical and projected emissions at national and forest sector level. Considering the various measures identified at the national level, the reduction in GHG emissions should reach nearly 21% by 2030 (Figure 2), that attributable to the AFOLU sector would reach 28% (Figure 3).

Figure 3: Emissions projection and reduction target for 2030. The waste sector is characterized by an increase in emissions attributable to (i) the disposal of solid waste (90.4%) of all kinds generated by households, communities and businesses (businesses, industries, construction, agricultural residues, etc.), (ii) discharge of domestic wastewater (6.8%), and combustion in the open air. These emissions represent approximately 11% on average of all national emissions from 2000 to 2018. The figures below show that emissions from the Agriculture, Waste and Energy sectors will decrease, by 2030, by 43%, 20% and 11% respectively. The full implementation of the various levers identified in these sectors would ultimately lead to significant reductions in emissions. Figur", "The full implementation of the various levers identified in these sectors would ultimately lead to significant reductions in emissions. Figure 4: Waste sector emissions projections. Waste emissions from landfills will continue to decline as more waste is disposed of preferably by other means, such as open burning, biological waste treatment and recycling. Although waste management is on a small scale, the DRC policy on the matter encourages landfilling which helps to advance this waste management policy. It should continue with small improvements in the efficiency of landfills and then extend to the recovery of these deposits of waste dumped around major cities. As the proportion of waste going to landfill is expected to continue to increase even though emission reductions are expected to continue for some time, as emissions lag behind waste disposal.

The DRC is vulnerable to the various effects of climate change and does not have adequate capacities to deal with them. Indeed, the ND-GAIN index ranks the DRC 5th in the world among the countries most vulnerable to climate change in terms of their ability to adapt2.

In order to promote a rational and sustainable use of natural resources which involves the maintenance of ecological processes, protection of biodiversity and adoption of sustainable production systems, the DRC has developed and adopted in 2020 a national land use planning policy.", "In order to promote a rational and sustainable use of natural resources which involves the maintenance of ecological processes, protection of biodiversity and adoption of sustainable production systems, the DRC has developed and adopted in 2020 a national land use planning policy. This policy should lead to zoning and the definition of a master plan for the optimal allocation of the territory, setting up sustainable human settlements and thus establishing a quality living environment. In the land use plans, the DRC ensured the systematic integration of forest resources, including peat bogs and this, in a process of transparent consultation, in order to maintain consistency in the publication of all contracts. land uses (agriculture, forests, mines, hydrocarbons). With regard to the forestry sector and other land allocations, taking into account the implementation of nature-based solutions, the DRC will ensure synergies with land use", "With regard to the forestry sector and other land allocations, taking into account the implementation of nature-based solutions, the DRC will ensure synergies with land use planning and land tenure security. In addition, in the field of land, the DRC has undertaken to conduct a legal review of land concessions of more than five hectares in pilot provinces. (ii) National gender policy. In 2008, the DRC developed and adopted its national gender policy (PNG) and its gender strategy to integrate this dimension into sectoral development plans, particularly the Agriculture and Rural Development sectors, etc. The equality and empowerment of women remain a concern of the Congolese authorities. To this end, several efforts remain to be made to materialize this political will to improve the gender situation in the DRC. (iii) National Agricultural Investment Plan (PNIA). The DRC has developed its National", "To this end, several efforts remain to be made to materialize this political will to improve the gender situation in the DRC. (iii) National Agricultural Investment Plan (PNIA). The DRC has developed its National Agricultural Investment Plan (PNIA), 2013-2020. Its overall objective is to stimulate sustained annual growth in the agricultural sector of more than 6%, which is essential for reducing poverty, ensuring the food and nutritional security of the Congolese populations and generating jobs and sustainable incomes. This plan is the unifying framework for all current and future programs and projects in the agricultural sector. This document, currently being revised, constitutes the national planning framework for national and external funds for the agricultural sector and rural development. (iv) National energy policy. Since 2009, the electricity policy has been technically validated by all stakeholders. Current efforts are focused on developing clean cooking strategies", "Since 2009, the electricity policy has been technically validated by all stakeholders. Current efforts are focused on developing clean cooking strategies. In 2014, Law No. 14/011 of June 17, 2014 relating to the electricity sector was enacted. It establishes the liberalization and total opening of the electricity market to the private sector and also allows:. the distribution of competing competences in the sector, between the State, the provinces and the decentralized territorial collectivities; and. the creation of a Regulatory Authority for the electricity sector and the National Agency for electrification and energy services in rural and peri-urban areas.

Put in place mechanisms for mobilizing endogenous and exogenous financial resources in the sanitation sector;. Improve sanitation sector governance;. Driving a change in mentality and behavior in sanitation;. Harmonize the different approaches of the sanitation sector; and. Promote the development and implementation of sub-sector programs. The Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (MEDD) through its Department of Sanitation (DAS) is nationally responsible for the sanitation sector, in particular the management of municipal waste, and is in this sense responsible for regulating this sector. Several ministries are involved in solid waste management. These include the Ministry of Infrastructure, Public Works and Reconstruction (MITPR) via the Office of Roads and Drainage (OVD) which intervenes in the cleaning of gutter", "These include the Ministry of Infrastructure, Public Works and Reconstruction (MITPR) via the Office of Roads and Drainage (OVD) which intervenes in the cleaning of gutters, rivers and major collectors.

Main socio-economic and environmental development challenges. Despite the development of many strategic documents and action plans in various areas, insufficient funding has limited the implementation of large-scale actions.

About 67% of the national territory is covered by tropical forests, representing 60% of the forests of the Congo Basin and nearly 10% of this resource at the global level. The DRC is thus the second tropical forest country in the world. The DRC has experienced several multifaceted crises since the 1970s which have spared no sector of national life. These repetitive crises have plunged the country into a serious economic and social situation which is, among other things, the basis of the generalized state of poverty of the population and which ranks the DRC at the bottom of the scale on the human development index.

The diversity of its climatic system and its important hydrographic network make it possible to practice a varied range of agricultural speculations. The expanses of both grassy and wooded savannas are likely to support a breeding of more or less 40 million head of cattle12. This sector has suffered a long decline exacerbated by conflicts and the abandonment of large farms, agricultural productivity fell", "This sector has suffered a long decline exacerbated by conflicts and the abandonment of large farms, agricultural productivity fell by 60% between 1960 and 2006. Agricultural practice is essentially rainfed and peasant with subsistence food production (self-subsistence) using rudimentary production equipment with low yield and low input consumption. These farms are spread over more or less 4 to 7 million hectares and are organized by agricultural households, each farming an average of 1.5 hectares per year.13 The increase in production is due more to the increase in sown areas than to the improvement in yields. Unlike other systems on the continent, this mode of exploitation is not associated with livestock, a source of organic matter. National animal production comes mainly from small and large livestock as well as poultry. Their contribution is respectively 34.5% for pigs,", "Their contribution is respectively 34.5% for pigs, 24% for goats, 22.3% for cattle, 15% for poultry and 3.9% for sheep.14 Small livestock and poultry have the advantage of providing farmers with products, regularly and closely, enabling them to maintain a certain level of income and improve their diet. The annual fish production of the DRC, estimated at about 220,000 tonnes on average out of an annually exploitable potential of 707,000 tonnes, i.e. a little over 30%, corresponds to an annual average disposal of 5.2 kg per inhabitant, a much lower availability to the international standard set at 13 kg per inhabitant.15 2.3.2. Forestry and other land uses. The Congolese forests are distributed on both sides of the equatorial line and thus include varied ecosystems.", "Forestry and other land uses. The Congolese forests are distributed on both sides of the equatorial line and thus include varied ecosystems. Evergreen and semi-deciduous moist forests occupy much of the central and western regions, large areas of edaphic forests grow in the northwest along the Congo River and its tributaries, while forests of pre-mountain and mountain extend over the eastern plateaus and on the slopes of the Mitumba Mountains. The richest forest massif and in one piece (approximately 100 million hectares) is circumscribed in the central basin. Estimated at about 152 million hectares of natural forests (MEDD, 2016), they represent about 10% of all tropical forests in the world and more than 62% of those in Africa. Its relatively low defore", "Its relatively low deforestation rate over the past 30 years is estimated at between 0.4% in 2001 and 0.32% in 2005, compared to that of other tropical forest countries (MEDD, 2018). In order to fight against the illegal exploitation of forests and to preserve what remains of the natural spaces, the DRC adopted Law 011-2002 of August 29, 2002 on the Forest Code which deals with clearing, degradation of forests, and problems of erosion. The code prohibits \u201cany act of deforestation of areas exposed to the risk of erosion and flooding; any deforestation over a distance of 50 meters on either side of watercourses and within a radius of 100 meters around their sources\u201d.", "The code prohibits \u201cany act of deforestation of areas exposed to the risk of erosion and flooding; any deforestation over a distance of 50 meters on either side of watercourses and within a radius of 100 meters around their sources\u201d. In addition, the code specifies that \u201call deforestation must be compensated by reforestation equivalent in quality and area to the initial forest cover (...) and requires obtaining a deforestation permit for an area greater than 2 ha\u201d. The forestry sector in the DRC is likely to contribute significantly to both the diversification and the recovery of the national economy. Despite its enormous potential, the contribution of this sector to reducing the poverty of the Congolese people is still timid or even insignificant.", "This situation is due, in part, to the fact that for several decades, the forestry sector had not aroused much interest among political decision-makers; which did not allow this sector to benefit from all the attention to which it is legitimately entitled like other sectors of the national economy, in this case the mining sector. 2.3.3. Energy. The DRC is full of enormous potential, diversified in energy resources16 whose sustainable management constitutes major challenges which include among others:. hydroelectric resources with a potential estimated at 110 GW (44% are concentrated in the Inga site alone, located in the Kongo-Central Province) equivalent to 30 million tonnes of oil per year;. biomass with approximately 152 million hectares of natural forests;. mineral coal with reserves estimated at 720 million tonnes,.", "hydroelectric resources with a potential estimated at 110 GW (44% are concentrated in the Inga site alone, located in the Kongo-Central Province) equivalent to 30 million tonnes of oil per year;. biomass with approximately 152 million hectares of natural forests;. mineral coal with reserves estimated at 720 million tonnes,. oil with reserves estimated at 1.5 billion barrels,. the methane gas reserves in the Coastal Basin, estimated at 10 billion m3 at sea and 20 billion m3 in Lake Kivu (nearly 50 million normal cubic meters (Nm3)),. uranium ore with significant reserves,. geothermal resources;. bituminous shale and tar sands whose reserves are poorly known; and. a solar potential whose sunshine band is between 3500 and 6000 Wc/m2/d.

Transportation. Transport infrastructure in the DRC is among the least dense, dilapidated and impracticable. In many provinces of the country, connectivity to the capital, Kinshasa, by road is difficult and most provinces are not interconnected. Despite having one of the largest river networks in the world, river transport is often hampered by high levels of silting, long waiting times at ports due to poor infrastructure and the governance. Ground transport in the DRC consists mainly of motorized road vehicles, as there is no suitable infrastructure for non-motorized vehicles (i.e. cycle lanes, safe storage and convenient and convenient bicycle rentals). affordable) and the railway network is", "Motor vehicles mainly depend on personal passenger cars. Vehicle fleet statistics up to 2015 indicate a total of 1.64 million registered vehicles nationwide, mainly consisting of passenger cars (INS, 2015). Public transport includes public and private buses, minivans as well as exclusive and shared taxis, all operating without any coordination, resulting in very low occupancy rates. The market share of mass transport in the DRC is low due to the impassability, lack of security and limited reach of public transport compared to the attractiveness of owning a private automobile. Driving habits in the DRC are characterized by a relatively low range with a high rate of congestion and frequent stops at short time intervals.", "Driving habits in the DRC are characterized by a relatively low range with a high rate of congestion and frequent stops at short time intervals. It is estimated that 50% of trips have a distance of less than 10 km, 25% of stops are less than 20 seconds and the total stop time per trip corresponds to more than 15% of the trip time. In addition, these observations reflect stop-and-go driving patterns, resulting in inefficient operation of internal combustion engines, and a high rate of fuel consumption and pollutant emissions as a result. The road network of the DRC comprises a total of 153,209 km (INS, 2014) of roads distributed as follows:. 58,509 km of roads of general interest, of which around 3,000 km are paved. 7,400 km of urban roads;. 87,300 km", "58,509 km of roads of general interest, of which around 3,000 km are paved. 7,400 km of urban roads;. 87,300 km of roads of local interest or agricultural service. In terms of aeronautical activities, the DRC has nineteen (19) commercial airports, four of which are international in service (Kinshasa/N djili, Goma, Kisangani and Lubumbashi). At least eleven airlines (Congo Airways) and private companies operate for the flight of passengers and the chartering of goods to all airports located in the DRC. In 2016, more than 1.77 million air passengers were counted compared to 1.61 in 2010 (SDG Report, 2020). As for river and lake activities, the DRC has nearly twenty service ports or functional commercial ports, including Matadi, Boma, Kinshasa, Ilebo, Kalemie, U", "As for river and lake activities, the DRC has nearly twenty service ports or functional commercial ports, including Matadi, Boma, Kinshasa, Ilebo, Kalemie, Uvira, Goma, Bukavu, Kisangani, Mbandaka, Ubundu, Kindu, and Mushimbakye in Baraka., etc. These ports are mostly under the authority of the Congolese Transport and Ports Company (SCTP). The main ports in the south-east of the country are governed by the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Nationale des Chemins de Fer du Congo (SNCC). The port of Matadi is the country s industrial entry and exit point. It is connected to the port of Kinshasa by road and rail. The port of Kinshasa welcomes approximately 78% of the boats coming from the interior of the country. 2.3.5. Industry. Although the industrial fabric of the DRC remains", "Although the industrial fabric of the DRC remains embryonic, this sector, like agriculture, infrastructure, energy, health, education, housing and others, is a priority of the Government of the DRC. The development strategy of the industrial sector is mainly focused on the creation of Special Economic Zones (SEZ), agro-industrial parks and growth poles. The infrastructure deficit affects the industrial development of the DRC, particularly manufacturing. The latter represents only 14% of GDP in 2018, i.e. less than 12 USD per capita. This low level illustrates the obvious difficulties faced by entrepreneurs, particularly in terms of access to electricity and public transport infrastructure (roads, railways, airports, rivers and lakes). The repercussions are eloquent, particularly in terms of economic competitiveness and jobs created. Employment in manufacturing represents only less than", "Employment in manufacturing represents only less than 7% of total employment. With regard to mining production, the DRC is \"a geological scandal\" as its mining resources are important and diverse (copper, cobalt, colombo-tantalite, gold, diamonds). An engine of growth and a major contributor to the national budget, the DRC s mining sector is one of the country s strategic sectors. According to statistics, from 2003 to 2017, mining production increased from 9,370 tons to more than one million tons of copper! That is an increase of 10.75% (INS, 2017). 3. Vision of the DRC in the field of climate change.", "According to statistics, from 2003 to 2017, mining production increased from 9,370 tons to more than one million tons of copper! That is an increase of 10.75% (INS, 2017). 3. Vision of the DRC in the field of climate change. The DRC s vision in the fight against climate change is to promote a green economy, with low carbon emissions and resilient to the impacts of climate change, while rationally and sustainably managing its significant natural resources in order to guarantee ecological balance. and the social, economic, cultural and environmental well-being of its people. Indeed, the DRC, like all Parties to the UNFCCC, is resolutely committed to taking urgent measures to mitigate its greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the effects of climate change, in accordance with the Paris Agreement especially in its article 4.17.", "Indeed, the DRC, like all Parties to the UNFCCC, is resolutely committed to taking urgent measures to mitigate its greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the effects of climate change, in accordance with the Paris Agreement especially in its article 4.17. To this end, the DRC ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1997, the Kyoto Protocol in 2005 and the Paris Agreement in 2017. In addition, it submitted to the UNFCCC its three first national communications to the UNFCCC, respectively in 2001, 2009 and 2015 and its National Adaptation Action Program (NAPA) in 2006. It also submitted its Forest Reference Emission Level (NERF) in 2018. Although its greenhouse gas emissions are among the lowest in the world (MEDD, 2015), the DRC is very vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Therefore, adaptation to climate change is a", "Although its greenhouse gas emissions are among the lowest in the world (MEDD, 2015), the DRC is very vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Therefore, adaptation to climate change is a major concern and priority for the country. The DRC s contribution to climate change in terms of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is relatively small, although emissions from agriculture, deforestation, land use, consumption energy, and waste is a significant part of its carbon footprint, to demand appropriate climate action. 4. NDC review process. In 2015, the DRC submitted its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) to the UNFCCC, defining its adaptation and mitigation objectives. In 2017, this became its first NDC, in accordance with the Paris Agreement.", "In 2015, the DRC submitted its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) to the UNFCCC, defining its adaptation and mitigation objectives. In 2017, this became its first NDC, in accordance with the Paris Agreement. This first NDC was based on the DRC s third national communication submitted to the UNFCCC in 2014, as well as on other sectoral policies, such as the National REDD+ Strategy Framework (MEDD, 2012) and other key national orientation documents. The targeted reduction target, entirely conditional, was 17% taking into account three main sectors, namely Energy, Agriculture and Forestry associated with the following gases: CO2, CH4 and N2O over the period 2021-2030.", "The targeted reduction target, entirely conditional, was 17% taking into account three main sectors, namely Energy, Agriculture and Forestry associated with the following gases: CO2, CH4 and N2O over the period 2021-2030. This NDC, whose reduction target set at 21% (conditional at 19%, and unconditional at 2%), updates and strengthens the first in terms of contributions to mitigation and adaptation, on the one hand, and through improved data collection, in-depth technical analysis and extensive stakeholder engagement on the other. It includes, in addition to the three aforementioned sectors (Agriculture, Forestry and Energy), that of Waste. 4.1. Mitigation. 4.1.1. Business as usual (BAU) emissions forecast.

This requires the development of BAU sectoral forecasts of activities and associated emissions throughout the NDC commitment period; subsequent monitoring of progress against this baseline through the implementation of mitigation projects will require continuous updating of the abatement scenario. The projections used in this revised NDC are constructed through an extrapolation of emissions from the reference period of the first Biennial Updated Report and the DRC s national greenhouse gas inventories.", "The projections used in this revised NDC are constructed through an extrapolation of emissions from the reference period of the first Biennial Updated Report and the DRC s national greenhouse gas inventories. This is a linear, simple, transparent, intuitive and easily reproducible projection in the medium term until 2030, based on the IPCC s level 1 methodology, from which they will evolve according to a scenario of the business-as-usual type (normal course cases without mitigating measures). Modeling specific to the energy sector, based on the Model for Energy Demand Analysis (MAED-2 software, IAEA, 2007), was undertaken to estimate the current mitigation potential in this sector. The MAED-2 software assesses future energy demand based on socio-economic, technological and demographic development scenarios in the medium and long term. Within this framework, two scenarios have", "The MAED-2 software assesses future energy demand based on socio-economic, technological and demographic development scenarios in the medium and long term. Within this framework, two scenarios have been developed: the BAU scenario and the abatement scenario. The model systematically links the specific demand for energy to produce different goods and services identified in the model, to the corresponding social, economic and technological factors that affect this demand. For the other sectors, the BAU and abatement scenarios were constructed using linear modeling tools. 4.1.2. National emissions modeling. As part of the implementation of the DRC s PNSD, three possible development scenarios have been considered to characterize the possible evolutions of the economy: the continuity scenario, also called the normal course of business scenario - BAU, the which translates the government s vision (optimistic scenario) and the intermediate scenario between the first two", "As part of the implementation of the DRC s PNSD, three possible development scenarios have been considered to characterize the possible evolutions of the economy: the continuity scenario, also called the normal course of business scenario - BAU, the which translates the government s vision (optimistic scenario) and the intermediate scenario between the first two, alternative scenario. (i) Continuity Scenario19. This scenario is based on a continuation of the current situation in which the pace of economic growth is certainly high but suffers from fluctuations linked to hazardous turns in world markets. In light of the growth profile, the DRC will not be able to become an emerging country in 2030 and a developed country in 2050 if profound changes are not envisaged in the conduct of public policies.

The reforms need to be deepened for more effective governance. Major transformations should be made at the level of the production apparatus, and the quality of human capital will also have to be substantially increased. The main assumptions on which this scenario is based are as follows:. The mining sector continues to be the main driver of economic growth but is seeing its contribution gradually diminish;. Agricultural activity continues to develop but its expansion is not very significant;. The manufacturing industry continues to play a marginal role in economic growth and continues to suffer the pangs of foreign competition;.", "The manufacturing industry continues to play a marginal role in economic growth and continues to suffer the pangs of foreign competition;. The services sector continues to expand, mainly from wholesale and retail trade (against a deterioration in the current account) and transport and telecoms;. Tax revenues from the exploitation of natural resources remain marginal;. Progress can be observed in the area of. governance (political and economic) but it is relatively slow and limits the total investment rate;. The population continues to grow at the average annual rate of 3% as has been the case over the past fifteen years, which implies that the synthetic fertility index (ISF) has practically not changed;. The movements of populations due to the conflicts are reduced and the social fabric is rebuilt;. The country s political and security situation is stable, as is that of the Central African region", "The country s political and security situation is stable, as is that of the Central African region. (ii) Scenario reflecting the government s vision. This second scenario is optimistic in that it proposes to highlight the various efforts to be combined by the authorities. For the DRC to develop in 2050 according to the sequences defined by the government, it would be necessary to consider \u2013 courageously and relentlessly \u2013 a set of coherent and sustained actions over time to change its political, institutional, economic and financial landscape. Maintaining peace and strengthening the security of people and their property are two fundamental elements of the action to be taken by the government to set the country firmly on the path to development. At the macroeconomic level, inflation should be contained and the exchange rate should not experience major shifts.", "Maintaining peace and strengthening the security of people and their property are two fundamental elements of the action to be taken by the government to set the country firmly on the path to development. At the macroeconomic level, inflation should be contained and the exchange rate should not experience major shifts. This would require significantly expanding the fiscal space state, improve the quality (or efficiency) of public spending, constitute important budgetary stabilizers and use them wisely, in the event of exogenous shocks. (iii) Alternative scenario. In this third scenario, called alternative, it is assumed that the country becomes a middle-income country in 2025 and emerges in 2030 instead of 2030. In 2050, the country becomes developed. This change in the time horizons of expected progress has an impact on the growth rates to be displayed by the economy as well as on the policies to be pursued.", "This change in the time horizons of expected progress has an impact on the growth rates to be displayed by the economy as well as on the policies to be pursued. Despite the change in the length of the first sequence of the trajectory, it would take considerable efforts to ensure that the DRC progresses as its government intends. At the macroeconomic level, it will be necessary to maintain rigor in the management of public finances and to have flexibility in the conduct of monetary policy because performance in terms of growth requires inflation not exceeding 3,. The main assumptions used to develop this scenario are as follows:. Agriculture is undergoing major transformations and is becoming one of the main pillars of economic growth and job creation;. Extractive industries continue to be dynamic thanks to a widening of the value creation chain and more efficient exploitation of hydrocarbons;.", "Extractive industries continue to be dynamic thanks to a widening of the value creation chain and more efficient exploitation of hydrocarbons;. The construction and public works sector is experiencing remarkable expansion thanks to the combined efforts to expand the State s fiscal space and mobilize new sources of infrastructure financing (PPP and viable sovereign loans);. Manufacturing industries are developing at a sustained pace and are managing to penetrate other markets;. The tertiary sector remains dynamic thanks to the effects of the reconstruction, modernization and development of infrastructures;. The structure of GDP is gradually changing (the secondary sector will become the main pillar of growth in 2050);. Governance is experiencing rapid and sustained improvements against the backdrop of a coherent set of reforms affecting institutions and the functioning of the economy;.

Social policies are effectively implemented to lower the ISF and make the most of the demographic dividend;. The return of displaced populations is possible;. The political and security context is calm both in the country and in Central Africa. Of the three PNSD scenarios, only the alternative scenario was taken into account in the energy sector and considered as the BAU scenario. The analysis used to develop this revised NDC involved identifying a range of mitigation options (Abatement Scenario) within each of the NDC sectors for further consideration and quantitative analysis. (iv) Abatement scenario. This scenario aims to highlight the various efforts to be combined by the DRC government to achieve a gradual and significant reduction in GHG emissions in", "This scenario aims to highlight the various efforts to be combined by the DRC government to achieve a gradual and significant reduction in GHG emissions in the main emitting sectors. The allowances used in this revised NDC are based on the assumptions below and reinforce it in several ways:. In the field of forestry and other land uses, the hypothesis is based on the REDD + strategy which is based on the studies of McKinsey et al (2009)20 and also the hypotheses envisaged in the NERF document whose projections of the annual growth of emissions due to deforestation are estimated at 50 MtCO2e;. In this forestry sector, we could obtain a cumulative reduction in emissions of 2.2 to 2.5 Gt CO2e by 2030;.", "In this forestry sector, we could obtain a cumulative reduction in emissions of 2.2 to 2.5 Gt CO2e by 2030;. The share of emissions that cannot be reduced may be offset by the effects of afforestation and reforestation projects intended for carbon sequestration, up to an estimated cumulative sequestration potential of 1.2 at 1.4 Gt CO2e;. By 2030, the combined effect of potential mitigation and sequestration levers could both offset total emissions estimated at 410 to 700 Mt CO2e according to the BAU reference scenario, and constitute a carbon sink of a capacity of around 20 Mt CO2e;. The BAU reference scenario of the evolution of degradation and deforestation in the DRC and the related emissions was developed on the basis of voluntary assumptions of the country s socio-economic and demographic development.", "The BAU reference scenario of the evolution of degradation and deforestation in the DRC and the related emissions was developed on the basis of voluntary assumptions of the country s socio-economic and demographic development. In this scenario, deforestation would reach 12 to 13 million ha by 2030, and degradation 21 to 22 million ha. In agriculture, it is planned to double the cultivated areas from 8 to 16 million hectares, to observe accelerated growth (+6%/year) and thus ensure food balance by 2025 (feeding 116 million consumers) and this, thanks to a modernization of the sector. In the Energy sector, mitigation efforts may be concentrated in the industrial, transport and residential sectors with the following assumptions:. More accentuated reduction in the energy intensities of petroleum products, specific uses of electricity, use of heat. This translates to a much", "More accentuated reduction in the energy intensities of petroleum products, specific uses of electricity, use of heat. This translates to a much more efficient energy intensity improvement in the economy.

Contribution to mitigation. The DRC, Party to the UNFCCC, has initiated efforts to implement activities that lead to a reduction in emissions according to its national circumstances and capacities. This section consists of a brief reminder on the analysis of the trend in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the sectors whose measures are identified and proposes consequent mitigation strategies. It also presents other initiatives relating to greenhouse gas mitigation actions in the DRC. The mitigation measures implemented by the DRC mainly concern the forestry sector,", "The mitigation measures implemented by the DRC mainly concern the forestry sector, in particular the implementation of its national strategy to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+). In addition to the REDD+ strategy, the DRC s nationally determined contribution presents certain mitigation measures and actions in the energy, transport, agriculture and waste sectors. However, to date, these few initiatives are less documented. However, the DRC is committed to improving its data collection and management system and to formalizing the arrangements institutions that support the collection, analysis, processing and communication of long-term information on mitigation measures and efforts to explore associated co-benefits. In addition, the DRC does not have a specific methodology and associated hypotheses to assess the effects of the actions envisaged. Consequently, capacity building for", "Consequently, capacity building for project promoters and various stakeholders is essential at the national level to improve the monitoring and reporting of sectoral mitigation activities. 5.1. Analysis of trends in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Component I: Forestry and forest-related activities:This component is expected to contribute 182 to 192 Mt CO2e to the total emissions mitigation potential in 2030 (McKinsey et al., 2009). This potential was estimated by forestry activity as follows:. Legal industrial and small-scale logging: approximately 19 Mt CO2e thanks to the reduction of logging volumes per ha to sustainable logging levels with very limited emissions (from 15 to 10 m3 per hectare). Illegal logging: reduction potential of around 22 to 23 Mt CO2e. This potential is broken down into several levers with regional specificities.

The third lever is reforestation to sustainably supply lower quality timber to local markets, mainly to urban populations. Other activities of degradation and deforestation related to the activities of the population (sustainable hunting for example) or the use of techniques to fight against bush fires.

Climate projections in the DRC over the next few decades foresee an increase in temperatures of 3oC to 5oC, a decrease in precipitation and an increase in its variability, as well as an increase in extreme phenomena32. These climatic variations will have a significant impact on the country s main climate-sensitive economic sectors.

Clear lines of communication will be developed at different levels (local, provincial, national and international) and between different sectors and stakeholders, ensuring gender equality, participation of young people and Indigenous Peoples. 8.8. Capacity building and technology transfer. Under the Paris Agreement, developed countries are committed to facilitating technology transfer and capacity building to developing countries. Many developing countries have expressed their capacity needs to support and identify gaps both in terms of technology and expertise to ensure follow-up of bilateral and multilateral resources. It is essential that the provisions of the Paris Agreement on capacity building are successfully implemented. Technology transfer and capacity building will be required to fully implement DRC Contributions to Mitigation and Adaptation. Specific needs identified in this", "Technology transfer and capacity building will be required to fully implement DRC Contributions to Mitigation and Adaptation. Specific needs identified in this framework include among others:. Access to and removal of barriers to the dissemination of appropriate clean technologies;. Building climate information systems;. Promotion of renewable energies and energy efficiency, including the involvement of the private sector;. Establishment of public-private partnerships. 8.9. Private sector engagement. Private sector organizations are key players in the delivery of NDC interventions and in the transparent implementation of climate change adaptation and mitigation activities, without neglecting social and environmental aspects. Their participation is necessary to enable the implementation of climate change policy and law, both for the application of mitigation measures and the realization of NDC interventions and for the provision of data and information for the operation of the MRV system and the production of national GH", "Their participation is necessary to enable the implementation of climate change policy and law, both for the application of mitigation measures and the realization of NDC interventions and for the provision of data and information for the operation of the MRV system and the production of national GHG inventories. During the preparation phase of the roadmap for the implementation of the NDC, the participation of private sector organizations will be defined, as well as the activities of the NDC in which these organizations will be involved, although it is foreseeable that they will be linked to the implementation of climate change policy and law and contributions on the processes of production/collection of data and information relevant to the MRV system and national GHG inventories. The involvement of private actors will be particularly relevant by carrying out projects to achieve the objectives of the energy and agriculture sectors.", "The involvement of private actors will be particularly relevant by carrying out projects to achieve the objectives of the energy and agriculture sectors. In addition, the participation of representatives of the private sector in the DRC is currently ensured by two entities: the Federation of Commercial Enterprises (FEC) and the Federation of the Wood Industry (FIB). However, the government is implementing the identification and mapping of additional key stakeholder representatives, their main focus areas and interests, to define the decisive incentives that could enable them to better and more participate in the implementation. of the NDC. 8.10. Financial needs. As part of the NDC revision process, in-depth analysis and consultations of different stakeholders and sectoral experts have been engaged to produce conditional and unconditional cost estimates for mitigation and adaptation actions up to 2021 and 2030.", "As part of the NDC revision process, in-depth analysis and consultations of different stakeholders and sectoral experts have been engaged to produce conditional and unconditional cost estimates for mitigation and adaptation actions up to 2021 and 2030. The estimated total cost of approximately twenty-five point six ( 25.6) billion US dollars for the 30 identified NDC mitigation actions, and over twenty-three point zero eight ( 23.08) billion US dollars for the 52 adaptation priorities, representing a funding need of approximately forty-eight point sixty-eight (48.68) billion US dollars (USD).

Indeed, the innumerable development priorities at the social, economic, educational, health, infrastructure, etc. levels will receive priority allocation of the resources mobilized at the national level and will in no way have to suffer competition from the financing of the NDC. However, there may be situations where the priority development objectives of the DRC will be aligned with those of the NDC. Only such a scenario would justify the financing of the activities of the NDC on own funds.", "However, there may be situations where the priority development objectives of the DRC will be aligned with those of the NDC. Only such a scenario would justify the financing of the activities of the NDC on own funds. In accordance with the Paris Declaration on the Effectiveness of Official Development Assistance, the DRC encourages donors wishing to support the implementation of its NDC to align themselves with the Government s objectives. These objectives integrate, in addition to those presented in the NDC, in particular those of the National REDD+ Strategy and its Investment Plan, as well as the sectoral policies developed within the framework of the REDD+ interventions financed. under the said Investment Plan, in particular the National Territorial Development Policy. 6.3.

Financing the NDC through carbon markets. Taking into account that the DRC has the second largest area of. tropical forests in the world, alone accounting for more than 60% of the rainforest in the Congo Basin, the largest basin with a net absorption of greenhouse gases. greenhouse, the country plays a crucial role in global climate change mitigation. The loss of this forest would represent a considerable release of greenhouse gases. Thus, given its carbon potential and the gradual emergence of the carbon market, the DRC government validated in the Council of Ministers ten urgent measures relating to the sustainable management of natural forest resources. Among these measures, the institutionalization of the carbon tax and the creation of the carbon market regulation authority come first.", "Among these measures, the institutionalization of the carbon tax and the creation of the carbon market regulation authority come first. These aim to enable the national economy to benefit from international capital resulting from carbon finance. Indeed, the capture of revenue from the sale of carbon credits will contribute in particular to: (i) increasing the national budget; (ii) the compensation of ecosystem services of sequestration and storage of atmospheric carbon by the forests of the DRC; (iii) financing the measures provided for in the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement. The DRC reiterates the importance of the negotiations on Article 6 of the Paris Agreement being finalized so that the country can sell carbon credits through the international carbon market and thus finance the measures of its NDC.", "The DRC reiterates the importance of the negotiations on Article 6 of the Paris Agreement being finalized so that the country can sell carbon credits through the international carbon market and thus finance the measures of its NDC. Also, in order to allow the country to benefit from adequate compensation for its efforts to reduce and avoid carbon emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, which will serve the whole world, it is essential that a a fair and robust carbon price is established at the global level. With this in mind, in its contracts for the sale of emission reductions on the carbon markets, the DRC reserves the right to negotiate an adequate price. In the DRC, the regulation and the right of ownership and transfer of ownership applicable to Carbon Emission Reduction Units (UREC) is established by the 2018 Approval Order.", "In the DRC, the regulation and the right of ownership and transfer of ownership applicable to Carbon Emission Reduction Units (UREC) is established by the 2018 Approval Order. It follows that these carbon rights, whose legal status is defined in Article 3 of the said Approval Order, must be materialized exclusively in the National REDD+ Register provided for this purpose. The DRC has decided to develop its own Register of emission reduction transactions in order to avoid multiple declarations of emission reductions from the forest, i.e. double-counting, aimed at integrating all REDD+ programs/projects. developed in the country. This Registry will track and control all emission reductions generated by each programme/project and will provide regular information on issuances, transfers and sales of emission reductions.", "This Registry will track and control all emission reductions generated by each programme/project and will provide regular information on issuances, transfers and sales of emission reductions. Starting from a very low level of emissions per capita and per GDP, it will be difficult for the DRC to materialize its emission reduction commitments and contribution to the global effort while transferring ownership of these emission reductions. Consequently, the DRC wishes to be able to account for the emission reductions generated within the framework of its NDC. Next, the DRC hopes to sell the emission reductions generated under its NDC to buyers \u2013 both public and private \u2013 who have ambitious targets for mitigating their own emissions, based on science and publicly available in an updated NDC. update or a climate action plan. 6.4.

Payments for ecosystem services. One of the mechanisms that could be used in the financing of the DRC s NDC measures is that of payments for ecosystem services (PES). PES are a potentially important source of financing for the DRC, which provides ecosystem services of global value.

The DRC plans to set up a national PES program, in order to ensure that these ecosystem services, provided by the DRC, can be compensated through PES mechanisms that reduce the incentives for deforestation, with a view to conserving biodiversity and habitats as well as as carbon sinks in forest ecosystems. For example, this program may pay the owners of forest resources, i.e. forest communities, local or national governments, forestry companies or farmers, to preserve forest resources, establish wildlife corridors and/or maintain the most popular crop varieties. more favorable to natural ecosystems. With a view to regeneration, such a mechanism could encourage agricultural installations in", "With a view to regeneration, such a mechanism could encourage agricultural installations in savannahs, cultivation methods under shade,. By setting up PES mechanisms in the DRC with a view to financing the measures proposed in the NDC, it will be crucial to ensure anchoring in land use planning tools, a link with land tenure security as well as synergies between the fight against deforestation and poverty reduction, with a view to avoiding adverse effects.

The policy for GHG emission mitigation in the Republic of the Congo has two main axes: reducing GHG emissions from the energy sector and combating unplanned deforestation (REDD), by controlling energy consumption while increasing the use of renewable energies; maintaining and even strengthening the potential for carbon sequestration by forests, through better management of the sector, as well as through reforestation.", "The Republic of the Congo\u2019s GHG emission reduction commitments focus primarily on non-carbon storage GHG emissions from biomass. The Republic of the Congo, like other countries in the Congo Basin, does not wish to limit its Climate Policy to the simple conservation of forests through international financing mechanisms. This option would place the country at the mercy of external mechanisms and hamper its economic and social development, because it lacks a link with the real economy.

A trend scenario, which corresponds to economic development that is poorly controlled in terms of emissions. It nevertheless incorporates the decisions already taken by the country (public policies undertaken after 2000 such as the Forest Code, the network of protected areas, the national directive on reducing flaring, etc.). The country\u2019s current commitment can only relate to this scenario, if the additional financial commitments requested here from the international community are not obtained.

Deforestation, one of the main causes of which is the expansion of agriculture, accounts for 81% of the country\u2019s emissions. Population growth will lead to increasing food needs, leading to the development of food and industrial crops, some of which could lead to an increase in deforestation, which has remained low to date (net deforestation of 0.043 % per year [BRLi, 2014]). Trend scenario. In relation to these developments, the trend development scenario is based on:. the adoption of a new forestry law requiring the use of low-impact harvesting techniques and forest certification.

The agro-industry is essentially confined to the production of sugar and maize on 312 000 ha. As a result, 80% of the food products destined for urban areas are imported. It is proposed to develop 50% of the savanna in the framework of private-cooperative agricultural partnerships for the production of foodstuffs (maize, peanuts, sweet potatoes, potatoes, bananas, plantains, igname, rice, meats, palm oil, maize, etc.) but also for exports or feed (soybeans, shovels). The production of sugar cane or palm oil could also be extended to the production of ethanol or diester for agricultural and rural fuels.", "The production of sugar cane or palm oil could also be expanded for the production of ethanol or diester for agricultural and rural fuels. In the case of Congo, there is no competition between energy production and food production, due to the available space. The agricultural techniques employed would be resolutely those of agroforestry and agroecology, enhancing legumes, producing wood-energy (pellets in particular) and service, while at the same time mitigating the adverse effects of climate change, thus constituting an important co-benefit between mitigation and adaptation. Cocoa-growing projects to reduce emissions due to deforestation are examples to be replicated. The animal herd would be quadrupled, using silvo-pastoral techniques, which would be an additional factor in emissions. The new agri-food companies would partner with cooperatives of farmers", "The new agri-food companies would partner with land-owning farmers\u2019 co-operatives (e.g. Zambia, [Keith Palmer, Patient Capital]). These co-operatives would lead to the transfer of technology and inputs to farmers, as well as social actions, in a spirit of respect for the soil and the biological wealth of the surrounding environment (creation of micro-biological reserves). These actions would be carried out in partnership with development NGOs (IPHD type). The jobs created are estimated at 700,000 (5 ha per farmer out of 66% of the area under development), i.e. the foreseeable demand for rural employment in 2035.

Sea and river fisheries and aquaculture account for only 60% of consumption. In order to achieve self-sufficiency in 2035, catches and production should be doubled in 2035, with a proportional impact on gasoline consumption. Furthermore, on the basis of the European Union\u2019s Common Agricultural Policy, minimum protection of the internal market for essential products would be organised through the introduction of taxes and quotas on imports of these products.

Similarly, many vulnerability reduction projects aim at reducing poverty. It is important that stakeholders be made aware of this two-way link between poverty reduction and adaptation through reducing vulnerability. Indeed, this very narrow boundary between the two approaches, sometimes inconsistent, can lead to a misunderstanding as to the real meaning of adaptation in relation to a conventional poverty reduction strategy.

Given that Comoros emissions account for a small proportion of global greenhouse gas emissions, the country has therefore focused on measures that are compatible with its status as a small island State, as a LDC, and that have rapid effects. The Comoros ranks 159th out of 187 countries on the UNDP Human Development Index (HDI) with an HDI of 0.488 in 2014.

With a majority of the population living in coastal regions, poverty reduction efforts have focused on protecting coastal areas, risk management, etc., the main effects of which will reduce vulnerability. From GHG sinks in 2000, the Union of the Comoros became an emitter in 2015, based on the baseline scenario projection and inventories for 2000, 2005 and 2010.

The country has increased its efforts over the past decade to achieve sustainable growth and green development, climate resilient and low-carbon political and institutional emissions. Thus, actions to combat climate change (CC) in terms of mitigation and adaptation have been carried out since the 1990s. Moreover, through the actions put in place to date, GHG emissions per capita have been contained at 0.4 tonnes over the period 2000-2010.

However, in order to do so, the country\u2019s capacity to implement its contribution also has its limits. Indeed, the current and medium-term level of economic development has served to develop the potential for mitigation, adaptation and thus its contribution, while taking into account the country\u2019s development priorities of poverty reduction and other Millennium Development Goals.", "Indeed, the current and medium-term level of economic development has served to develop the potential for mitigation, adaptation and therefore its contribution, while taking into account the country\u2019s development priorities of poverty reduction and other Millennium Development Goals. This contribution is considered to be equitable for the Comoros to enable the international community to achieve the ultimate objective of the Convention on the stabilisation of the level of GHGs in the atmosphere, namely to keep global warming below the critical threshold of 2\u00b0C, which would destabilize the functioning of natural ecosystems.

However, financial and technical support from the international community is a prerequisite for the success of this contribution to achieving the objective of the Convention. The Union of the Comoros commits to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 84% by 2030 compared to baseline emissions under the condition of the international assistance mentioned. This percentage represents nearly 440 000 tCO2eq. Section 5. Institutional arrangements.

However, the operationality of this committee would require financial means to be truly effective. The NDCP can be monitored through the GHG inventories of the National Communications and the Biennial Reports which will be transmitted to the UNFCCC.

This is due to many gaps identified by various studies (such as the Capacity Assessment (CARA), the National Report of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, the Mauritius Report, the Strategic Programming Plan) that should be addressed at the institutional, political, strategic and legal levels. 6.1.2 Adaptation and mitigation needs. In response to these constraints and challenges, the human, technical and financial resources needs are as follows:.

They are also handicapped in their tasks of coordination, facilitation, guidance and awareness-raising;. as in the case of adaptation and mitigation, risk management in the Comoros lacks a regulatory framework and a mechanism for coordination between the various actors.4 In the absence of financial resources, limited State resources have been used in response to emergency situations rather than for prevention.", "The need for technology transfer is inherent in the adaptation measures and projects to be put in place and therefore affects most of the areas identified. 6.1.3 Implementation. The CNSC has worked to produce the expected results quickly given the urgency of the situation to achieve the objective of the Convention. Thus, a period of one to two years has been taken into account to allow for the creation of the favourable environment and the establishment of the necessary system.

Activity data were derived from country statistics for the past and projections from sectoral development reports or strategies.

Hydrocarbon power generators are rather poorly maintained due to a lack of human resources and capacities. This is one of the other measures that would benefit from being implemented with diligence with immediate results. Currently, the loss during conversion in power plants is estimated at 8% and a reduction to 6% is possible. Adoption of the sun.

Popularisation of the use of LPG by households and possibly as a substitute for gasoline in cars would also contribute to a reduction in emissions.

Furthermore, it is a source of land degradation with negative effects on other sectors such as food crop production and livestock farming. It therefore represents a major activity to be targeted to reduce emissions. This problem needs to be considered in an integrated manner as it is cross-cutting and linked to other residential and industrial activities.", "It is necessary to consider this problem in an integrated way as it is cross-cutting and related to other residential and industrial activities. Indeed, the preferred measures in other sectors go in this direction such as the rate of electrification, the promotion of LPG, the extension of improved homes for households and industrial needs and the substitution of service wood with other materials. The hypothesis is to reduce this use by 15% every five years, which would put a brake on deforestation and lead to a reduction in deforestation by 45% in 2030.", "Over time and due to a lack of resources, the area under grassland on the island has increased as a result of deforestation, and now this situation has adverse effects on other sectors. Reforestation and afforestation have been common practices for more than a decade, but have not been very successful in the light of national circumstances. This is reflected in the low success rate of seedlings planted due to poor control of climate variation and livestock diversion. The objective of the national policy, SCA2D, is to cover an area of 11116 ha by 2019, equivalent to 6% of the area of the territory. Afforestation on part of this area with commercial wood species is an ideal solution as it would allow carbon dioxide to be sequestered while providing the wood required for residential, service and industrial needs.", "Deforestation on part of this area with commercial timber species is an ideal solution as it would allow for sequestration of carbon dioxide while supplying the timber required for residential, service and industrial needs. Consequently, the plan would be to start with deforestation followed by reforestation with native species a few years later. This approach to the implementation of the reforestation programme takes into account the preparation of seedlings and other associated measures. Reforestation. Better reforestation planning is needed and will require more investment to ensure its success. The Union of the Comoros aims at reforestation of 2200 ha annually over a period of 5 years from 2015 to 2019 to be in line with SCA2D.", "The objective of the Union of the Comoros is the reforestation of 2200 ha annually over a period of 5 years from 2015 to 2019 to be in line with the SCA2D. However, implementation seems difficult because it has not been possible to raise the necessary funding to date. This area has therefore been allocated to reforestation and afforestation over 12 years from 2018 onwards, subject to the availability of funding. This approach will reduce the pressure on the forest resource over time with the aim of sustainable exploitation in the medium and long term. At the same time, related benefits will be obtained in relation to soil and water degradation. Indirectly, the latter aspect will have intrinsically positive effects on the sustainability of production in other water-related sectors.

Agroforestry:For agroforestry, abandoned agricultural land will be targeted for this activity. The intention is to convert 200 ha annually for agroforestry. This, while being a sink of GHGs, will also create employment and wealth for the communities. Arboriculture:For arboriculture, once again abandoned agricultural land will be converted at the rate of 200 ha annually. While being a sink of GHGs, this activity will create employment, help food security and produce wealth for the communities.

The underlying assumptions taken into account are:. a population growth of 2.5% per year;. an economic growth (excluding the oil sector) of 10% per year from 2010.", "Two scenarios of GHG emissions have therefore been developed: a \"trend\" scenario, which corresponds to uncontrolled economic development; a \"controlled\" scenario, which takes into account all public policies undertaken after 2000 such as the Forest Code, national parks, the national flaring reduction plan, the strategic planning of the GMES with its low-carbon industrial development, the Climate Plan, the implementation of a market mechanism induced by the Law on the Guidance for Sustainable Development in Gabon and the forthcoming adoption of the National Land Use Plan. C. Land use change.", "A \"controlled\" scenario taking into account all public policies undertaken after 2000 such as the forest code, national parks, the national flaring reduction plan, the strategic planning of the EWP with its low-carbon industrial development, the Climate Plan, the implementation of a market mechanism induced by the Law on the Guidance for Sustainable Development in Gabon and the forthcoming adoption of the National Land Use Plan. C. Land use change. With more than 60% of direct emissions, land use and its corollary, land use change, play a crucial role in achieving Gabon\u2019s ambitious GHG emission reduction targets. The main assumptions underlying the uncontrolled (or trend) development scenario are:", "With more than 60% of direct emissions, land use and its corollary, land-use change, play a crucial role in achieving Gabon\u2019s ambitious GHG emission reduction targets. The main assumptions underlying the uncontrolled (or trend) development scenario are:. the gradual increase observed since 1950 in the area of forest permits from the coast to the climatic forest formations in the interior of the country will increase;. the increase in population will lead to ever-increasing food needs, leading to the development of industrial crops, resulting in an average loss of 175 tonnes of carbon per hectare. In relation to these developments, the controlled development scenario is based on:. the adoption of a Forestry Code that forces foresters to extend their rotations from 15 years to 25 years, with lower damage rates;.", "the adoption of a Forestry Code that encourages foresters to extend their rotations from 15 to 25 years, with lower damage rates;. the creation of 13 national parks in 2002 that prohibit logging in large areas of the territory, followed in 2012 by restrictions on large areas of the province of the Estuaire;. the adoption of a National Land Use Plan (NLP) that allows for optimal allocation of areas to different uses, excluding intact forests, high conservation value forests and particularly carbon-rich forests. Taking into account emissions related to logging (which were not included in the national GHG emissions inventory), these various measures will reduce GHG emissions by more than 1 500 000 GgCO2 by 2010-2025, i.e. 68% compared to the trend scenario (63% in 2025). D.", "Taking into account emissions from forestry (which were not included in the National GHG Emissions Inventory), these different measures will reduce GHG emissions by more than 1.5 million GgCO2 by 2010-2025, or 68% from the trend scenario (63% by 2025). D. Petroleum Industry - Flaring. Emissions from the flaring of associated gas in petroleum production accounted for 23% of direct emissions in 2000, and several measures have been taken.", "Representing 23% of direct emissions in 2000, emissions related to the flaring of associated gas in petroleum production have been the subject of several measures. These measures include, among others, accession in 2007 to the Global Gas Flaring Reduction (GGFR) initiative of the World Bank, the enactment in 2014 of Act No. 011/2014 regulating the hydrocarbon sector in the Gabonese Republic prohibiting continuous flaring in Gabon, in line with Gabon\u2019s participation this year in the \"Zero Torchage de Routine d\u2019ici 2030\" initiative launched by the GGFR. These measures already have a very significant impact on GHG emissions. Over the period 2010-2025, this proactive policy will reduce GHG emissions by 17,341 GgCO2, or 41% of emissions (63% in 2025).", "Over the period 2010-2025, this proactive policy will reduce GHG emissions by 17,341 GgCO2, i.e. 41% of emissions (63% in 2025). The main means of implementing this reduction plan in Gabon, which are re-injection and electricity generation, involve investments in particular in compression units. This investment falls within the scope of \"oil costs\", i.e. expenses incurred by operators to whom Gabon recognises a right of recovery in the area of operation as indicated in the Gabonese Hydrocarbon Code. This therefore amounts to Gabon reimbursing all these costs to operators. E. Energy. Emissions related to the local combustion of fossil energy account for the third largest item of emissions. 1. Electricity. Control of GHG emissions related to the production and consumption of electricity depends mainly on two types", "A historical analysis of the period 2000-2010 shows that the energy efficiency of the Gabonese economy has improved by an average of 3.8% per year. Gabon wishes to build on this momentum and to continue to improve energy efficiency on this basis, with a target of about 4,000 GWh consumed by 2025. On this basis, Gabon has developed an ambitious hydropower development plan, with the objective of ensuring a supply of electricity based on 80% hydropower and 20% gas by 2025. On this basis, this plan will reduce GHG emissions by 9,000 GgCO2 by 2010-2025, i.e. 31% compared to the trend scenario (48% in 2025).", "On this basis, this plan will reduce GHG emissions by 9,000 GgCO2 by 2010-2025, or 31% compared to the trend scenario (48% in 2025). These production capacities will also allow for exports of the order of 5,000 GWh over the period 2010-2025. Finally, Gabon is also developing a plan for solar electrification of isolated villages. This plan will improve access to energy in rural areas without the use of fossil energy. 2. Petroleum industry \u2013 Fossil energy consumption. GHG emissions from non-electricity energy industries are due to the petroleum industry. These emissions therefore follow the curve of petroleum production, as shown in the following graph. Trendal. Given the relatively small issues, Gabon has no reduction commitment in this sector. 3. Transport. Emissions from transport accounted for only 2.4% of emissions in 2000 (but 20% of", "3. Transport. Emissions from transport accounted for only 2.4% of emissions in 2000 (but 20% of energy emissions). Although this sector has not yet been the subject of a complete macroscopic study, many projects are planned, such as infrastructure projects (with many planned roads), developments in public transport services (particularly in Libreville, to combat congestion) or changes in legislation (e.g. the ban on the import of vehicles older than 3 years). In the absence of additional data, Gabon undertakes to control the increase in transport-related energy consumption to 80% of the trend scenario in 2025. On this basis, this plan will reduce GHG emissions by almost 2,000 GgCO2 by 20152025, or 8% compared to the trend scenario (20% in 2025). 4. Other energy consumption.", "On this basis, this plan will reduce GHG emissions by almost 2,000 GgCO2 by 20152025, or 8% compared to the trend scenario (20% in 2025). 4. Other energy consumption. This section covers energy consumption (excluding electricity) of industry (excluding oil industry), commerce and institutions (including administration), households, agriculture, fisheries and forestry. Again, no macroscopic study is available, but according to the general philosophy of Gabon\u2019s development, it is committed to containing the growth of these emissions. In the uncontrolled development scenario, the evolution of GHG emissions follows the evolution of GDP, whereas in the controlled development scenario, the carbon intensity of GDP decreases by 2% per year.", "In the uncontrolled development scenario, the evolution of GHG emissions follows the evolution of GDP, whereas in the controlled development scenario, the carbon intensity of GDP decreases by 2% per year. On this basis, this commitment is to reduce GHG emissions by 3,500 GgCO2 by 2015-2025, or 8% compared to the trend scenario (18% in 2025). F. Other GHG emissions. Emissions related to waste, industrial processes (cement) and agriculture represent the fourth emission item. 1. Waste. Gabon commits to halving GHG emissions related to waste and wastewater treatment by 2025. Taking into account the expected population change, this commitment is to reduce GHG emissions by more than 2,000 GgCO2 by 2015-2025, or 16% compared to the trend scenario (50% in 2025). 2. Industrial processes (", "Given the expected evolution of the population, this commitment should lead to a reduction in GHG emissions of more than 2,000 GgCO2 by 2015-2025, i.e. 16% compared to the trend scenario (50% by 2025). 2. Industrial processes (cement) and agriculture. In the absence of details, these sectors are excluded from this contribution. G. Adaptation. Gabon\u2019s vision for adaptation is based on the integration of this component in a coherent investment scheme based on the country\u2019s development strategy, rather than on ad hoc aid or subsidies unrelated to that strategy. To this end, Gabon has in particular adopted a National Strategy for Coastal Adaptation to the Effects of Climate Change. This strategy consists of measures aimed at integrated coastal zone management through the establishment of an appropriate legal framework, the acquisition of monitoring tools and, finally, training and information", "This is achieved by means of measures aimed at integrated coastal zone management through the establishment of an appropriate legal framework, the acquisition of monitoring tools and, finally, training and information. Furthermore, the general guidelines of this strategy call for the implementation of a coastal urban planning scheme, the promotion of income-generating activities linked to marine and coastal ecosystems. To this must be added a scheme comprising mangrove conservation projects for the protection of the coastline, the protection of species, the establishment of specific facilities for receiving and managing waste, the monitoring of the nesting of sea turtles and the creation of a coastal and marine environment observatory. The towns of Libreville and Port-Gentil, which are particularly exposed, are the subject of measures for the protection of the coastline through physical barriers and shoreline rehabilitation works.", "The cities of Libreville and Port-Gentil, which are particularly exposed, are the subject of coastal protection measures through physical barriers and shoreline rehabilitation works. The economic zone of the island of Mandji, on the other hand, is benefiting from a levy. This strategy enshrines Gabon\u2019s commitment to act against climate change by taking into account the adaptation of its territory to the effects of climate change. H. Financing. As indicated in paragraph B, \"Philosophy of Gabon\u2019s Commitments\", the country has undertaken both sectoral measures or regulations (forest code, creation of national parks, national plan to reduce flaring, ban on the export of logs, etc.) as a regulatory framework for the general functioning of the economy, pursuant to the Law on the Guidelines for Sustainable Development.", "As indicated in paragraph B \"Philosophy of Gabon's Commitments\", the country has undertaken both sectoral measures or regulations (forest code, creation of national parks, national flaring reduction plan, ban on export of logs, etc.) as a regulation governing the general functioning of the economy, pursuant to the Law on Sustainable Development Policy. In all cases, these measures and regulations have a direct or indirect impact on GHG emissions, as well as on other variables of sustainable development, such as biodiversity, ecosystems and social and community capital. In particular, the application of the market mechanism induced by the Law on Sustainable Development Policy has an incentive, behavioural and financial effect, on the reduction of GHG emissions in a global manner on all activities in the country.", "In particular, the application of the market mechanism induced by the Sustainable Development Policy Act has an incentive, behavioural and financial effect, on the reduction of GHG emissions in a global manner on all activities in the country. Further studies will make it possible to quantify the reduction of expected emissions. The method of financing mitigation and adaptation measures. The Sustainable Development Policy Act provides for the establishment of a National Sustainable Development Fund. The establishment of this fund is under consideration and will be in line with the National Climate Funds that are being developed in various countries, taking into account the specificities of the Gabonese strategy.", "The creation of this fund is under consideration and will be positioned along the lines of the National Climate Funds that are developing in various countries, taking into account the specificities of the Gabonese strategy. The Fund will channel and stimulate a part of the financial flows dedicated to emission reductions and more broadly to Sustainable Development: (1) the state budget, (2) private investments, (3) income from domestic market credits, (4) contributions or loans from donors). In the meantime, the various sectoral provisions or regulations presented in this document are accompanied by a financing strategy adapted to each case or sector, which can be delineated under 4 complementary modalities:. By the state budget,. By the involvement of the private sector interested in the investment opportunities offered by Gabon\u2019s development potential,.", "By the state budget,. By the involvement of the private sector interested in the investment opportunities offered by Gabon\u2019s development potential,. By the operation of the measure or regulation, which implies that, once introduced, it operates autonomously thanks to the economic interest of the private actors involved (e.g., once the initial investments have been made, the reduction of flaring gases is self-financed by electricity revenues),. By the support of the Cooperation or of institutions specialized in Climate Finance or in sectoral technical programmes, which wish to establish a partnership with Gabon. In addition to this mechanism under construction following the promulgation of the Act in August 2014, the Climate Plan in 2013 identified a number of other regulatory provisions that could potentially contribute financially to the reduction of GHG emissions (green certificates, bonus/malus system, etc.).", "In addition to this mechanism under construction following the promulgation of the Act in August 2014, the Climate Plan in 2013 identified a number of other regulatory provisions that could potentially contribute financially to the reduction of GHG emissions (green certificates, bonus/malus system, etc.). These possibilities may be the subject of further studies, in addition to the actions currently being carried out. Gabon\u2019s domestic market for GHG emissions. The Act guiding sustainable development in Gabon introduces a virtuous mechanism whereby developing activities must first carry out an impact assessment (the Sustainable Development Impact Assessment), carry out a Management Plan in order to control and reduce them, and compensate for the incompressible negative effects. The mechanism thus follows the \"measure, reduce, compensate\" logic, which also serves as a guideline for many international carbon market initiatives.", "The relationship with the Green Climate Fund. Gabon registered with the Green Climate Fund in January 2015 and intends to operationalize the relationship as soon as possible, in order to demonstrate results in the field of emission reductions as well as adaptation to COP 21. Indeed, Gabon\u2019s climate strategy is specific to the country and at the same time constructed in accordance with international trends, methodological advances and the directions of the climate and biodiversity negotiations. In this context, Gabon is taking charge of its own choices and, at the same time, is seeking to establish partnerships with programmes in accordance with the strategy presented in this document.", "Within this framework, Gabon is taking charge of its own choices and, at the same time, is seeking to establish partnerships with programmes in accordance with the strategy presented in this document. The various fields of action to be financed in the field of emission reductions, in conjunction with the strategic provisions presented in this national contribution, are in particular:. renewable energy, in particular hydroelectric power,. wastewater and other waste treatment,. energy efficiency,. technology transfer,. land use, both in terms of spatial planning and agriculture and forestry projects. Developments in the field of financing will be specified in the Annexes. I. Preparation of the document. The drafting of Gabon\u2019s contribution was based on a set of strategic documents, including the Gabon Emergent Strategic Plan, the National Climate Plan, sectoral operational", "The drafting of Gabon\u2019s contribution was based on a set of strategic documents, including the Gabon Emergent Strategic Plan, the National Climate Plan, sectoral operational plans and the regulations in force. Furthermore, the process put in place for this drafting involved directly the public and private actors responsible for the implementation of public policies or their strict application. SECTORS.

In line with the objectives of its Strategic Development Plan (2012-2030), and in line with national strategies for adaptation to climate change and mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the Republic of Haiti communicates its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). As a small island developing state (SIDS) located in the Caribbean region and the only LDC on the American continent, the country is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change exacerbated by severe environmental degradation", "As a small island developing state (SIDS) located in the Caribbean region and the only LDC on the American continent, Haiti is very vulnerable to the effects of climate change exacerbated by the severe degradation of its environment and its low capacity to respond. Extreme climate events (cyclones, droughts, floods) are a major constraint on the country\u2019s development efforts. As a result, Haiti\u2019s priority is to adapt to climate change and respond to losses and damage. Through this Contribution, Haiti intends to: (i) improve its resilience to climate change-related disasters; (ii) respond to losses and damage caused by extreme climate events; and (iii) contribute to the global effort to limit the increase in the global temperature below 2\u00b0C.", "Through this Contribution, Haiti intends to: (i) improve its resilience to climate change-related disasters; (ii) respond to losses and damage caused by extreme weather events; and (iii) contribute to the global effort to limit the increase in the world\u2019s temperature below 2\u00b0C. The goal is for the country to commit itself resolutely to a low-carbon and climate-resilient development path, limiting its recurring GDP losses due to climate-related disasters, increasing its carbon stock and reducing its energy dependence on fossil energies. 2. METHODOLOGY FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THE HAITI CONTRIBUTION. The development of Haiti\u2019s Contribution is the result of a broad consultation process.", "The participatory approach adopted allowed for: a review of the main national strategic documents: the Strategic Plan for Haiti\u2019s Development (SPDH), the National Adaptation Action Plan (NAPA), the 1st and 2nd National Communications on Climate Change, the Roadmap for a Sustainable Energy System in Haiti, the Watershed Management Policy of the Ministry of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Rural Development (MARNDR), the National Agency for Protected Areas (ANAP) Mountain Strategy, the Coffee Sector Revitalisation Plan, the Haitian Climate Profile, the Scaling-up Renewable Energy Program (SREP), the Pilot Programme on Climate Resilience (PPCR); consultation with stakeholders (sectoral ministries, civil society, the private sector, development agencies, etc.) to define the country\u2019s adaptation priorities and the level of mitigation ambition;", "Consult with stakeholders (sectoral ministries, civil society, private sector, development agencies, etc.) to define the country\u2019s adaptation priorities and level of mitigation ambition and; validate the choices made in four (4) regional workshops (North, Central, South and adjacent islands). 3. REFERENCE STATUS OF GHG EMISSIONS IN HAITI. 1.1 PROFILE OF HAITI GHG EMISSIONS. According to the most recent GHG inventory [1], Haiti emitted only 7.832 Mt of eqCO2 in 2000.

ADAPTATION CONTRIBUTION. Haiti, located in the Caribbean Basin, is exposed to many climate-related phenomena. Variations in rainfall patterns, temperature, and the frequency of tropical storms are among many other climate signals observed across the country. Scenarios developed in Haiti show an increase in temperature (from 0.8\u00b0C to 1\u00b0C), a decrease in annual rainfall of 6 to 20%, a shift in seasonality of rainfall, and an increase in mean sea level by 2030. In 2014, Haiti was ranked fourth in the world in terms of vulnerability to the effects of climate change [3].", "Scenarios developed in Haiti show an increase in temperature (from 0.8\u00b0C to 1\u00b0C) by 2030, a decrease in annual rainfall of 6 to 20%, a delay in the seasonality of rainfall, and an increase in the mean sea level. In 2014, Haiti was ranked fourth in the world in terms of vulnerability to the effects of climate change [3]. Over the past decade, the country has often been the victim of climate disturbances, mainly manifested in a change in the water regime of watersheds, increased drought periods and loss of human life due to flooding caused by tropical storms. The cumulative costs of the impacts of climate change without preventive measures are estimated at $1.8 billion and $77 million by taking adaptation measures by 2025 [4].", "The cumulative costs of the impacts of climate change without preventive measures are estimated at $1.8 billion and $77 million through adaptation measures by 2025 [4]. Taking into account the different impacts observed and anticipated, measures have been taken to increase the country\u2019s resilience to the impacts of climate-related extreme events. For example, in 2006, Haiti developed its National Adaptation Action Plan (NAPA) and is implementing a range of activities under the NAPA and its Climate Resilience Pilot Program (CRPP). Similarly, land-use planning efforts are underway to reduce the country\u2019s vulnerability.", "However, the measures do not have the scope and intensity necessary to meet the needs arising from the ongoing changes, particularly in terms of demography and ecosystems. Not all the various priority actions identified in the National Adaptation Action Plan (NAPA) are implemented due to a lack of funding and the weak capacity of public institutions. Difficult access to financing and appropriate technological resources, the absence of a regulatory and legislative framework for adaptation to climate change are all obstacles to the implementation of the planned activities. In this sense, the country needs technical and institutional capacity-building and technological and financial support to overcome these barriers. 5.2.- PRIORITIES AND OBJECTIVES FOR ADAPTATION.

For adaptation, technologies relate to the practice of forage crops, improved land management, agro-meteorological techniques, improved crop varieties and adapted to climate change. For mitigation, they relate to drilling, small water retention dams, overflowing ponds and modern wells (large-diameter wells). Mali also has a portfolio of more than 40 projects for the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) allowing a potential reduction of at least 15 million tonnes of CO2eq per year and a timetable for the total elimination of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) by 2030, i.e. a reduction of about 17,279 tonnes of CO", "Mali also has a portfolio of more than 40 projects for the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) allowing a potential reduction in emissions of at least 15 million tonnes of CO2eq per year and a timetable for the total elimination of hydro--chloro--fluoro--carbons (HCFCs) by 2030, i.e. a reduction of about 17,279 tonnes of CO2eq. Capacity-building. In order to limit the impacts of climate change, and to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable communities and livelihoods, it is necessary to strengthen capacity at all levels.

An agreement in Paris on sources of funding, on raising ambitions and on delivering on promises could further accelerate emissions mitigation and adaptation to the adverse effects of climate change. Mali is developing and implementing a sustainable financing strategy for the environment and climate change that should balance procedural consistency, transparency of information, management flexibility and sustainability of funding in key operations. This strategy will play an important role in mobilizing Mali\u2019s climate change and green economy funds, including those for the implementation of mitigation, adaptation and technology transfer actions outlined in the NDFP.", "This strategy will play an important role in mobilising the funds foreseen by Mali for climate change and the green economy, in particular those for the implementation of the mitigation, adaptation and technology transfer actions presented in the NDPC.

CONCLUSION. Faced with the climate challenges, the Government of Mali is determined to assume its responsibilities through an ambitious, participatory approach, building a new paradigm that fully integrates the human dimension in addition to the economic and environmental dimensions. Mali expects its partners to also assume their own responsibilities within the framework of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.", "Mali expects its partners to also assume their own responsibilities within the framework of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. A strong signal would certainly be a significant and ambitious contribution to the Green Climate Fund. The implementation of the priority projects/programmes identified in the NDFP, for which resource mobilization is a conditionality, are in line with the guidelines of the Strategic Framework for Growth and Poverty Reduction (SGPCR) and the National Policy on Climate Change (NPCC). It is in this context that Mali embarks on a path of low-carbon economic development and is resilient to climate change, further contributing to global efforts to stabilize greenhouse gases, under the common but differentiated responsibility." ] } }, { "country_code": "MRT", "type_of_document": "INDC", "language": "fr", "para_translated": { "small": [ "ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF MAURItania.

This is the case with the Emel (Hope) programme, which is currently being implemented, with an initial financial envelope of 42 billion MRO in 2012 and revolving funding of 12 billion MRO per year, or about a cumulative funding of 78 billion MRO for the period 2012-2015, or about US$300 million. This emergency programme comes just after the Solidarity emergency programme of 2011, which cost nine billion MRO, or about US$35 million.

The overall objective of these programmes is to contribute to sustainable development, low carbon and resilient to the impacts of climate change. In view of the above, this contribution therefore reflects both the political will of the country to participate in the global reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and to meet the country\u2019s adaptation needs, to the extent of its means and capacities. 1- Methodological Approach.

The nature of this unconditional part of the contribution mainly concerns regulation (examples of the measure taken by the Government in 2015 limiting the age of importation of cars to 8 years and the tax exemption for buses leaving factories for public transport), or in the form of priority actions for access to basic services to reduce rural poverty (examples: rural electrification, equipping water points with solar pumps, etc.). 88% of the contribution corresponds to the emission reduction share conditional on international support (conditional part of the contribution). 3.6 - Need for means of financing mitigation.", "3.6 - Need for mitigation financing resources. Implementation of proposed mitigation projects requires resources in terms of capacity, technology, regulatory and institutional frameworks and financial resources.

The impacts on water resources will be significant and will result in an overall decline in water resources of 10 to 15%, with the consequences of:", "The impacts on water resources will be significant and will result in an overall decline in water resources of 10 to 15%, with the following consequences:. The increase in mean sea surface temperature (MST) with a northward rise of the thermal front beyond its usual geographical limit and the depletion of oxygen-rich waters creates increasingly large OMZs that could lead to migration of pelagic species to oxygen-rich areas;.

Increased storm frequency that reduces fishing productivity.", "Increased sea level and coastal erosion threatening coastal infrastructure dedicated to fisheries; Increased storm frequency that reduces fishery productivity; Disruption of the sedge regime and reduction of dam fill capacity due to concentrated precipitation and accelerated siltation of dams by water erosion in heavily denuded watersheds; and Warming of less aerated surface waters with reduced flows and thus reduced dilution and biodegradation of certain pollutants, etc. The impacts on livestock will result in a worsening of the current situation, marked by a decline in livestock productivity. This evolution in livestock productivity is driven by recurrent droughts, scarcity and remoteness of pasture areas and water points.", "This evolution in livestock productivity is driven by recurrent droughts, scarcity and remoteness of pasture areas and water points. This situation is the result of the effect of global warming and excessive biomass harvesting, which have a significant impact on the already very fragile level of food security. The convergence of these different factors affects the way in which herds are managed, in particular the development of peri-urban livestock farming and the implementation of breeding programmes. The impacts on habitat, urban planning and spatial planning relate to the risks of invasion of marine waters and flooding of infrastructure and coastal cities, in particular Nouakchott and Nouadhibou, respectively political and economic capitals.", "The impacts on habitat, urban planning and spatial planning relate to the risks of marine water intrusion and flooding of coastal infrastructure and cities, in particular Nouakchott and Nouadhibou, respectively political and economic capitals. Indeed, Mauritania\u2019s coastal areas are home to more than 30% of the country\u2019s population, most industries, the bulk of import and export activities, important port and airport infrastructure, oil extraction activities, almost all fishing activities, but also the country\u2019s two major national parks.

To this end, the climatic disasters that would affect the coastal area will affect the economic growth of Mauritania, a country where the coastline represents both a unique ecosystem and the main pole of economic development. On the other hand, the risks of urban and village siltation, combined with drought, lead to the concentration of populations around wetlands, the atomisation of human settlements along roads and the development of rural exodus to large cities. The impacts on natural resources.", "On the other hand, the risk of flooding of towns and villages, combined with drought, leads to the concentration of populations around wetlands, the atomisation of human settlements along roads and the development of rural exodus to large cities. Impacts on natural resources. Regression of vegetation cover (grass and herbaceous), due to the combined effect of chronic drought and anthropogenic pressure, has increased desertification and has been the main cause of the disappearance of forest and biological species, and the reduction of pastoral potential, thus causing a massive rural exodus to large urban centres.", "Despite the irrational exploitation of forest resources by populations to meet their domestic energy needs (firewood and charcoal) and non-timber forest products (aerial pastures, pharmacopoeia, harvesting products and cosmetics), forest ecosystems have developed adaptive mechanisms that are now destabilized by climate change. The most visible form of these phenomena in Mauritania is desertification and its consequences. Impacts on fisheries. The fisheries sector, like other sectors, is suffering from the effects of climate change.", "Impacts on fisheries. The fisheries sector, like other sectors, is affected by climate change. These effects are perceived through the monitoring of physico-chemical parameters of ocean waters and marine biodiversity. These include:.

Health impacts. Mauritania is characterised by a nutritional situation of concern, aggravated by a hostile environment, which results in an increase in the prevalence", "Mauritania is characterised by a nutritional situation of concern, aggravated by a hostile environment, which leads to an increase in the prevalence of nutritional pathologies, thus favouring the emergence of infectious and parasitic diseases, in particular diarrhoea and acute respiratory infections, among children under five years of age. Infant mortality is dominated by acute respiratory infections (21.5%), malaria (15%) and diarrhoeal diseases (13.5%) according to the Demographic and Health Survey (EDSM). These three diseases alone account for 50% of the causes of mortality among children under five years of age; 35% of children over five years of age.", "Furthermore, 32% of children under the age of five suffer from chronic malnutrition and underweight, of which 17% and 10% are severely malnourished, respectively. This highlights the persistence of a worrying nutritional situation aggravated by drought episodes. 4.2 - Climate expenditure in adaptation. State efforts. The Mauritanian State has been making enormous efforts to curb the impacts of droughts since the 1970s. These have been greatly strengthened since 2010 in the form of a regular funding mechanism for adaptation to climate change...

These are mainly initiatives to combat deforestation, reforestation, the management and protection of natural resources and the conservation of biodiversity. The cumulative total cost is estimated at about US$100 million. In the agro-pastoral field, considerable efforts have been made to improve the resilience of farmers and ranchers to the impacts of climate change in the form of hydro-agricultural development, support for agricultural campaigns (marketing of agricultural products and climate insurance), improvement of local breeds, and promotion of family-based poultry farming.", "In the field of fisheries, adaptation measures have been implemented under the Fisheries and Aquaculture Sector Sustainable Management Strategy (2008-2012, extended to 2014).

CONTRIBUTION TO THE NATIONAL LEVEL CDN MAURItania PART I \u2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I- Introduction Mauritania is one of the Sahelian countries most affected by the recurrent droughts since 1968. The resulting desertification is all the stronger as the effect of climate, combined with human action, has direct consequences on an already very fragile environment. The country\u2019s vulnerability to climate change affects all vital sectors of the national economy.", "The country\u2019s vulnerability to climate change affects all vital sectors of the national economy. By ratifying the UNFCCC, Mauritania is firmly committed to the global process of combating global warming by limiting GHG emissions and implementing adaptation strategies consistent with its sustainable development policy. It reaffirms this commitment by ratifying the Paris Agreement and submitting its first Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) in 2015.", "It reaffirms this commitment by ratifying the Paris Agreement and submitting its first National Determined Contribution (NDC) in 2015.While Mauritania\u2019s emissions account for barely 0.015% of global emissions, the NDC commits Mauritania to participate fully in the international community\u2019s effort by making available, on a conditional basis, a mitigation potential of approximately 33.56 million tonnes of Eq-CO2, or 22.3% of projected emissions in the same year under the baseline (business as usual) scenario, for the period 2020-2030. In 2015, the process of developing the NDC took place as the country changed its strategic vision for development from the Strategic Framework for Combating Poverty (CLSP, 2001-2015) to the National Strategy for Accelerated Growth and Shared Prosperity (SCAPP), whose first five-year action plan covers the", "In 2015, the process of developing the NCD took place at a time when the country was changing its strategic vision for development from the Strategic Framework for Combating Poverty (CLSP, 2001-2015) to the National Strategy for Accelerated Growth and Shared Prosperity (SCAPP), the first five-year action plan of which covers the period from 2016 to 2020. In 2021, and in accordance with the five-year cycle of updating the NCDs promoted by the Paris Agreement (PA), Mauritania is updating its NCD together with the review of the first five-year plan of implementation of SCAPP, which is to lead to the definition of the second five-year plan 2021-2025.", "The co-ordination of the two processes, SCAPP and CDN, ensures coherence between the two policy frameworks and the synergy of the programmes enshrined therein. While SCAPP constitutes Mauritania\u2019s strategic development vision for the period 2016-2030 and serves as a reference framework for all development actions undertaken by the state, public and socio-professional bodies and technical and financial partners (TFPs), the CDN serves as a framework for defining the country\u2019s climate policy and as an instrument for its implementation. Like SCAPP, it integrates the United Nations 2030 Agenda and the priority targets for the country among the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the guidelines of the African Union Agenda 2063. It derives legitimacy from the mitigation ambitions it advocates and the adaptation actions it defines from the sectoral and the", "Main strategies of Mauritania\u2019s social, economic, cultural and environmental development (i.e. sustainable development) planning framework II- The updated CBD mitigation ambitions 2021-2030 Mauritania\u2019s updated CBD foresees a net reduction of GHG emissions at the economy level of 11% in 2030 (green line) compared to the baseline scenario (BAU, blue line) with the country\u2019s own resources supported by international support comparable to that received up to 2020.", "With greater support, Mauritania could achieve carbon neutrality in its economy, achieving a 92% reduction (red line) from the OAU. The overall cost of this ambition is estimated at US$ 34255 million, of which US$ 635 million is unconditional or 1.85%. The mitigation ambition covers the four emission sectors (Energy, PPI, AFAT and Waste).", "The most important mitigation efforts are based on the country\u2019s significant renewable energy potential and the capacity to increase the share of clean energy in the energy mix to reach more than 13 GW of renewable energy by 2030, but also on the AFAT sector with a forestry-oriented potential through ambitious projects and programmes (Great Green Wall, assisted forest regeneration programmes, range regeneration and combating desertification), agroecology and improved livestock productivity.", "The most important mitigation efforts are based on the country\u2019s significant renewable energy potential and the capacity to increase the share of clean energy in the energy mix to reach more than 13 GW of renewable energy by 2030, but also on the AFAT sector with a forestry-oriented potential through ambitious projects and programmes (Greater Green Wall, programmes for assisted forest regeneration, rangeland regeneration and combating desertification), agroecology and improved livestock productivity.", "As a large green wall, the 2015 NDA mitigation targets in the agriculture, forestry and other land uses (AFAT) sector of 10,000 ha per year of reforestation have not been met due to weak external financing.", "Indeed, despite the significant efforts made by the country in terms of reforestation and restoration of degraded land, notably in the framework of the Great Green Wall programme, the 2015 CDN mitigation targets in the agriculture, forestry and other land uses (AFAT) sector of 10,000 ha per year of reforestation were not achieved due to the low level of external financing mobilised. Over the period under review, 2015-2020, the annual maximum that could be achieved was only 1800 ha (Source DPREM/MEDD). On the other hand, the results achieved in terms of the energy mix exceeded the planned conditional efforts, rising from 18% in 2015 to 33.91% in 2018, with an even greater improvement thanks to the commissioning of the 100 MW wind farm in Boulenouar, which makes it possible to achieve an energy mix of 48% in 2021.", "On the other hand, the results achieved in terms of the energy mix exceeded the planned conditional efforts, rising from 18% in 2015 to 33.91% in 2018, with an even greater improvement thanks to the commissioning of the 100 MW wind farm in Boulenouar, which enables a 48% energy mix to be achieved in 2021. The country\u2019s mitigation ambition consists of a total of 55 measures, including 33 unconditional measures with a total capacity of 1834.268 Gg Eq CO2 compared to the normal course of business (BAU) scenario and 22 conditional measures for a reduction in 2030 of 16134.62 Gg Eq CO2 representing a reduction of 92% compared to the BAU.

IV- Capacity-building needs and support for implementation In addition to financial support expressed as conditional support for mitigation and adaptation actions, the CBD 2021-2030 identifies needs for capacity-building, technology transfer and training, in particular for youth education. In terms of capacity-building, the establishment of an operational system of measurement, verification and reporting (MNV and MRV) is a priority action in the process of implementing the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement.", "In terms of capacity-building, the establishment of an operational system of measurement, verification and reporting (MNV and MRV) is a priority action in the process of implementing the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement. The establishment of this system is mandatory for the country (target date 2024 for the submission of the biannual transparency report- BTR intial). In addition, and although not binding for the country, the development of an action plan for the implementation of the CBD is a prerequisite for the MNV/MRV. Mauritania has already made substantial efforts in this direction. The establishment and institutionalization of the national network of sectoral climate focal points (SCFs), civil society and the private sector in 2013 is a first step.", "In September 2020, the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (MEDD) consolidated its institutional framework by establishing the Directorate of Climate and the Green Economy (DCEV) to coordinate the entire national climate change programme. This institutional framework is consolidated by a network of independent experts from the academic community who have contributed to the preparation of all national communications, GHG inventories and updated biannual reports, etc. required for reporting to the UNFCCC. Notwithstanding all these achievements, significant gaps remain in the collection and processing of data needed to report transparently and clearly on the implementation of the country\u2019s climate policies, measures and strategies.", "Notwithstanding all these achievements, significant gaps remain in the collection and processing of data needed to report transparently and clearly on the implementation of the country\u2019s climate policies, measures and strategies.

Other priorities in terms of capacity-building for the implementation of the CDN concern the continuation of the preparation efforts (Readiness) of sectoral departments, the private sector and civil society. They also concern the integration of cross-cutting dimensions into climate programmes and projects.", "They also relate to the integration of cross-cutting dimensions into climate programmes and projects. Thus, the integration of gender, youth and human rights dimensions is foreseen in all projects and programmes developed under the CBD by reserving 10% of the budget for each programme or project to the CBD (Estimate based on the assessment of the Gender/Youth/Employment/Education Expert Group and the Working Group of Experts based on the Doha Work Programme and the Paris Agreement in its Article 12). Similarly, aspects of job creation and improvement of education curricula for addressing climate change issues are considered among the priorities to support the implementation of the CBD. Assessments of technology transfer needs were carried out in 2017.", "Technology transfer needs assessments were carried out in 2017, which led to the identification of two priority sectors for adaptation (agriculture, rangelands and forests) and two priority sectors for mitigation (energy and waste).

The resulting desertification is all the stronger because the effect of climate, combined with human action, has direct consequences on an already very fragile environment. The country\u2019s vulnerability to climate change affects all vital sectors of the national economy.", "The country\u2019s vulnerability to climate change affects all vital sectors of the national economy. By ratifying the UNFCCC, Mauritania is firmly committed to the global process of combating global warming by limiting GHG emissions and implementing adaptation strategies consistent with its sustainable development policy. It reaffirms this commitment by ratifying the Paris Agreement and submitting its first Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) in 2015. Although the country\u2019s emissions account for barely 0.015% of global emissions, Mauritania commits its NDC to participate fully in the international community\u2019s effort by making available, on a conditional basis, a mitigation potential of approximately 33.56 million tonnes of Eq-CO2, or 22.3% of projected emissions in the same year under the baseline (business as usual) scenario, for the period 2020-2030.", "Although Mauritania\u2019s emissions account for barely 0.015% of global emissions, its NFC undertakes to participate fully in the international community\u2019s effort by making available, on a conditional basis, a mitigation potential of approximately 33.56 million tonnes of Eq-CO2, or 22.3% of projected emissions in the same year under the baseline (business as usual) scenario, for the period 2020-2030. The WMO2 report states that if the first set of NFCs were not fully implemented this would result in a warming of 2.9 to 3.4 degrees C over the century. Increased mitigation ambition is therefore essential to achieving the Paris Agreement target of limiting warming well below 2 degrees C, or 1.5 degrees C.", "To this end, Article 4 of the Paris Agreement, as well as UNFCCC decisions 1/CP.19, 1/CP.20 and 1/CP.21, establish a five-year cycle for updating the NCDs, which must correspond to an increase over the contribution determined at the previous national level and its highest possible level of ambition.", "The EU is committed to the Paris Agreement and to limiting global temperature rise to +1.5 degrees Celsius by 2050, compared to the pre-industrial era.", "At the global level, the updating of the CBD provides an opportunity for the international community to improve adaptation planning and to strengthen countries\u2019 commitment and transparency in reducing greenhouse gas emissions with a view to achieving the objectives set out in the Paris Agreement and limiting the increase in global temperature to +1.5 degrees Celsius by 2050, compared to the pre-industrial era. Thus, the CBD 2021-2030 reflects Mauritania\u2019s efforts to contribute to the progress of global efforts over time, while recognising its need for multifaceted support (capacity building, access to technology and financing) for their effective implementation.", "In fact, Mauritania aims to make a more significant contribution to the mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than its previous and first NCD. Likewise, the country intends to strengthen its efforts to adapt to climate change in order to strengthen the resilience of the populations, ecosystems and infrastructures most vulnerable to climate hazards. This, in accordance with its responsibility and in full harmony with the objectives of its SCAPP, constitutes Mauritania\u2019s strategic development vision for the period 2015-2030 and serves as a reference framework for all development actions undertaken by the State, public and socio-professional bodies and the Technical and Financial Partners (TFPs) during the period 2015-2030. 2OMM (World Meteorological Organization) et al. 2019.

In 2015, the process of developing the UNCCD is taking place as the country changed its strategic vision for development from the Strategic Framework for Combating Poverty (CLSP, 2001-2005) to the National Strategy for Accelerated Growth and Shared Prosperity (SCAPP), the first five-year action plan of which covers the period 2016-2020. In 2021, and in accordance with the five-year cycle of updating the UNCCD promoted by the Paris Agreement (PA), Mauritania is updating its UNCCD at the same time as it reviews the first five-year plan of implementation of the SCAPP and defines the second five-year plan 2021-2025.", "In 2021, and in accordance with the five-year cycle of updating the CBDs promoted by the Paris Agreement (PA), Mauritania is updating its CBD at the same time as it prepares the assessment of the first five-year plan for the implementation of SCAPP and the definition of the second five-year plan 2021-2025. The co-ordination of the two processes, SCAPP and CDN, ensures coherence between the two policy frameworks and the synergy of the programmes included in them. While SCAPP constitutes Mauritania\u2019s strategic development vision for the period 2015-2030 and serves as a reference framework for all development actions undertaken by the state, public and socio-professional bodies and technical and financial partners (TFP), the CDN serves as a framework for defining the country\u2019s climate policy and as an instrument for its implementation.", "While SCAPP constitutes Mauritania\u2019s strategic development vision for the period 2015-2030 and serves as a reference framework for all development actions undertaken by the state, public and socio-professional bodies and technical and financial partners (TFPs), the CND serves as a framework for defining the country\u2019s climate policy and as an instrument for its implementation. Like SCAPP, the updated CND integrates the UN 2030 Agenda and the priority targets for the country among the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as well as the orientations of the African Union\u2019s Agenda 2063. It derives legitimacy from the mitigation ambitions it advocates and the adaptation actions it defines from the sectoral and thematic strategies from which it emerges.", "It derives its legitimacy from the mitigation ambitions it advocates and the adaptation actions it defines from the sectoral and thematic strategies it has developed. It serves as an instrument for sectoral coordination and as a basis for technical and financial partners (TFPs) to plan the integration of climate issues into their strategic framework for intervention in the country and the programmes and projects they support there. The updated vision of the CBD 2021-2030, \"Promoting climate-resilient economic and social development and the creation of sustainable green jobs\", introduces a fundamental change in the ambition of the mitigation objective, moving from a GHG emission reduction target of 22.3% in the CBD 2015 to a carbon neutrality by 2030, including an unconditional reduction of 11% in 2030 emissions under the BAU scenario.", "The updated vision of the CBD 2021-2030 of \"Promoting climate-resilient economic and social development and the creation of sustainable green jobs\" introduces a fundamental change in the ambition of the mitigation target, moving from a GHG emission reduction target of 22.3% in the CBD 2015 to a carbon neutrality target by 2030, including an unconditional reduction of 11% in 2030 emissions under the BAU scenario. Mauritania considers the updating of the CBD to be sufficiently fair and ambitious in that it goes beyond the proposed strategies and programmes granted to LDCs in Article 4, paragraph 6, of the Paris Agreement. This ambition is capable of contributing to a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy by 2030, in accordance with the national situation and SCAPP by 2030.", "This ambition is capable of contributing to a low-carbon economy that is resilient to climate change by 2030, in accordance with the national situation and SCAPP by 2030.

Thus, Mauritania\u2019s advanced mitigation ambition in its updated 2021-2030 CDN builds on these results and is based on the country\u2019s significant renewable energy potential.

Irregularities in precipitation and its spatial and temporal distribution, increasingly high air temperatures, more frequent droughts and floods, decreasing river water supplies, significant land degradation, greater fragility of ecosystems and their dynamics. These are some of the elements that show that the climate in Mauritania is changing, with the result that the environmental problems facing this Sahel-Saharan country are exacerbat", "These are some of the elements that show that the climate in Mauritania is changing with the consequence of an amplification of the environmental problems posed to this Sahel-Saharan country. These climate changes threaten primarily the primary sector, agriculture, animal husbandry, fisheries and forestry, key sectors for the country\u2019s economy. In Mauritania, health, infrastructure and industry are also exposed to climate change. Therefore, the lives of the population in Mauritania depend on these changes. At the coastal level, studies on climate change show that the consequences of climate change, with the rise of the sea level, would result in the exposure of large areas of land and the infrastructure that is installed there to the risks of flooding and siltation. It also shows that coastal erosion will be aggravated, particularly on the coast of Nouakchott, where morphological changes are already appreciable.", "It also shows that coastal erosion will be exacerbated, particularly on the coast of Nouakchott where morphological changes are already appreciable. Mauritania\u2019s vulnerability to climate change is mainly due to its climatic, geographical and demographic characteristics. Indeed, Mauritania\u2019s territory as a whole is located in the arid zone with 75% in the Saharan zone. CONTRIBUTION OF ENTERMINEE TO THE NATIONAL LEVEL CDN MAURITANIA This is partly a consequence of the effects of the air masses that are blowing through the country.

Hydrocarbons As Togo is not a producer of hydrocarbons, the vulnerability of this sector to climate change is not direct; it is linked to that of the wood energy and hydroelectric sectors.", "It is linked to that of the wood-energy and hydroelectric sectors. Thus, the decrease in the supply of biomass energy and hydroelectricity will increase the consumption of hydrocarbons. Togo is important for the oil products it needs and the hydrocarbon sector remains very sensitive to fluctuations in oil prices. In terms of impacts, there is an increase in expenditure due to an increase in the consumption of hydrocarbons with negative repercussions on the transport sector. 4.2.2.", "In terms of impacts, expenditures are increasing due to increased oil consumption with negative impacts on the transportation sector. 4.2.2. Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFAT) Sector In Togo, the AFAT sector is the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change.", "At the national level, a trend of decreasing precipitation coupled with rising temperatures is expected, with likely effects on biodiversity, species habitat, ecosystem services and agricultural production in Togo, most of which are related to drought, flooding and the emergence of pests. 4.2.2.1.", "Most of these effects are related to drought, flooding and parasites. 4.2.2.1. Forestry and Other Land Use Subsector (FAT) The resulting vulnerability of the Forestry and Other Land Use subsector is 0.59 for the country as a whole, which is equivalent to a \"medium\" level of vulnerability; however, it is \"high\" for the Central, Kara and Savannah regions, and \"medium\" for the Plateau and Maritime regions.", "However, it is \"high\" for the Central, Kara and Savannah regions, and \"medium\" for the Plateau and Maritime regions.

This leads to increased land degradation.", "Climate drying, increasing temperatures and evapotranspiration intensify soil leaching and latterization, while heavy rain increases soil erosion, especially in rugged environments, leading to increased land degradation, and extensive burning agriculture reduces forest cover.", "In addition, extensive burning agriculture leads to a reduction in forest cover. Highly exposed to climate change, the LULUCF sector suffers from impacts such as the loss of forest cover, the loss of biodiversity and protected ecosystems, the disappearance of certain forest species and low mangrove productivity. In the future, the vulnerability of this sub-sector will increase at national level by 2050 with an index of 0.63 corresponding to high vulnerability.", "In the future, there will be an increase in the vulnerability of this sub-sector at national level by 2050 with an index of 0.63 corresponding to high vulnerability, which will be observed in all regions except the plateau region, which will remain in the middle class.", "This situation will be observed in all regions except the plateau region, which will remain in the middle class. In this context, outside the Atakora chain, all forest ecosystems in Togo will be highly exposed to decreasing precipitation and increasing temperatures with worsening impacts related to climate hazards. 4.2.2.2. Agriculture, livestock and fisheries sub-sector The major disruption of agriculture, livestock and fisheries in all economic regions of Togo is climate hazards.", "Agriculture, livestock and fisheries sub-sector The major disruptions to agriculture, livestock and fisheries in all economic regions of Togo are climatic hazards. These include seasonal changes, irregular rainfall with drought pockets, increased temperatures, flooding and pest attacks. These hazards make this sub-sector very vulnerable with the impact on food security (loss of crops).", "These uncertainties make this sub-sector very vulnerable with an impact on food security (loss of crops). \u2756 Vulnerability and impacts of the agricultural sub-sector The resulting vulnerability of the crop production sector is generally high for the country as a whole and particularly in the Savannah region. The impacts of this vulnerability are reflected in yield reductions estimated over the last ten years between 30% and 51% for the main food crops.", "The impacts of this vulnerability are reflected in declines in yields estimated over the past decade between 30% and 51% for the main food crops, with drought pockets causing yield losses of 1.3t/ha, 1.0t/ha and 0.7t/ha for maize, rice and starch, respectively.

In 2020, the total area of flooded food crops is 6902 ha with production losses estimated at close to 9000 t. Currently estimated at 0.70, the national vulnerability index for the agricultural subsector will remain high with a slight increase to 0.75 by 2050.", "Currently estimated at 0.70, the national vulnerability index for the agricultural sub-sector will remain high with a slight increase to 0.75 by 2050, which will exacerbate the impacts on the agricultural sector with disruption of the agricultural calendar, devastation of crops by pests (leguminous shrubs, peregrine fly), the emergence of new invasive species, the disappearance of certain cultivars, decreased agricultural yields, erosion of cultivable areas, etc. \u2756 Vulnerability and impacts of the livestock sub-sector In all regions of Togo, poultry farming is a widespread activity in rural areas.", "This will exacerbate the impacts on the agricultural sector with disruption of the agricultural calendar, the devastation of crops by pests (lemon moths, white flies of locusts), the emergence of new invasive species, the disappearance of certain cultivars, the decline in agricultural yields, the erosion of cultivable areas, etc. \u2756 Vulnerability and impacts of the livestock sub-sector In all regions of Togo, poultry farming is a widespread activity in rural areas.", "This type of family farming, which employs women, is less demanding in terms of water. However, small ruminants and large cattle farming, which is widely practised in the savannah and plateau regions by sedentary and transhumant farmers, is demanding in terms of the availability of natural resources, particularly water. With the trend towards prolonged drought in recent decades, there has been a recurrence of conflict between farmers and breeders, which increases vulnerability in the livestock sub-sector.", "With the trend of prolonged drought in recent decades, there is a recurrence of conflict between farmers and livestock farmers, which increases vulnerability in the livestock sub-sector. In the Savannah region, livestock is decimated due to lack of water and fodder. Furthermore, the proliferation of epidemics such as bacterial coal, African swine fever and avian influenza in the regions is said to be linked to the increasingly high temperatures.", "Furthermore, the proliferation of epidemics such as BSE, African swine fever and avian influenza in the regions is said to be linked to the increasingly high temperatures, which affect national livestock production, which covers less than 50% of the population's needs.", "This situation affects domestic livestock production, which covers less than 50% of the population\u2019s needs. \u2756 Vulnerability and impacts of the fisheries sub-sector The fishery is concentrated on the coast, the lagoon complex in southern Togo, the Nangb\u00e9to basin, and along the Mono and Oti rivers.", "With drought and high temperatures, the fisheries sector is becoming more vulnerable, with the coverage rate for fishery products rising from 35% in 2015 to 29% in 2017. High temperatures, flooding and early water boundaries make spawning grounds sensitive, thus reducing fish availability.", "High temperatures, flooding and the early spreading of rivers make spawning areas sensitive, thus reducing the availability of fish. As with livestock farming, the future vulnerability of the fisheries subsector may increase with increased impacts such as reduced catches, siltation of rivers and the disappearance of certain fish species. These impacts will also affect the government\u2019s efforts to develop aquaculture with the depletion of fry. 4.2.3.", "These impacts will also affect the government\u2019s efforts to develop aquaculture with the depletion of fry. 4.2.3. Water Resources Sector High temperatures, irregularities and changes in the distribution of precipitation are reflected in declining groundwater and surface water stocks.

National situation Togo\u2019s economy is dominated by agricultural activities (almost 40% of GDP) which are highly dependent on climate conditions; other development sectors such as energy, water resources, coastal zone, human settlements and health, forestry and other land uses also remain highly vulnerable.", "Other development sectors such as energy, water resources, coastal zone, human settlements and health, forestry and other land uses also remain very vulnerable. To this end, Togo committed itself in the initial NDCs to contribute to combating climate change, strengthening the resilience of production systems and means in accordance with its National Plan of Action for Adaptation to Climate Change (NAPA) developed in 2008. In 2016, the country adopted a National Plan of Action for Adaptation to Climate Change (NAPACC) which confirms its commitment to strengthening the adaptive capacity of populations to cope with the adverse effects of climate change. 4.1.2.", "In 2016, Togo adopted a National Climate Change Adaptation Plan (NCCAP) which confirms its commitment to strengthening the capacity of populations to adapt to the adverse effects of climate change. 4.1.2. Institutional, legal and political arrangements With regard to international commitments on the environment and adaptation to climate change, Togo has ratified the three Rio-generation conventions: (i) the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) (March 8, 1995); (ii) the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) (October 4, 1995); and (iii) the Convention to Combat Desertification (CCD) (September 15, 1995).", "Institutional, legal and political arrangements With regard to international commitments on the environment and adaptation to climate change, Togo has ratified the three Rio generation conventions: (i) the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) (08 March 1995); (ii) the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) (04 October 1995); and (iii) the Convention to Combat Desertification (CCD) (15 September 1995). At the national level, adaptation is part of the national environmental policy, the forest policy declaration, the national strategy for sustainable development, the framework law on the environment and the laws on forest codes, water, health, hydrocarbons, and shipping. At the institutional level, several actors are involved in strengthening adaptation to climate change in Togo.", "At the institutional level, several actors are involved in strengthening adaptation to climate change in Togo. The main actors in this framework are: (i) the Ministry of the Environment and Forest Resources with all its divisions, (ii) the National Commission on Sustainable Development composed of representatives of public and private institutions, local authorities, NGOs and other legal persons, (iii) the National Committee on Climate Change which is a framework for information, consultation and monitoring of the implementation of the national climate change policy, (iv) the Interministerial Committee for Monitoring the Implementation of the NCDs and (v) the multidisciplinary team on climate change. These actors work together with other stakeholders such as Togo\u2019s public and private universities and the major institutions of the Republic (Republic Presidency, Primary, National Assembly, etc.). 4.2.", "4.2. ANALYSIS OF IMPACTS, RISKS AND VULNERABILITIES OF PRIORITY SECTORS Since 2014, the scenarios developed show that climate change is a real concern for Togo and that current and future trends will have harmful consequences in the absence of appropriate measures. With a predominantly agricultural economy, climate hazards make the Togolese population as a whole vulnerable. Climate variability in Togo leads to food and nutrition insecurity, degradation of forest resources, difficult access to energy, water resources and quality health care. Indeed, Togo faces a very high degree of spatial and temporal climate variability.", "Togo is facing a very high degree of spatial and temporal climate variability. In 2020, temperatures are expected to increase by a maximum of 1.2 \u00b0C, an increase of 20% compared to 2012. Precipitation is expected to decrease with rainfall ranging from 15 mm to 98 mm. This poses climate risks that affect all sectors of development and are manifested in flooding, drought, high heat, seasonal variations, strong winds, poor rainfall distribution, land erosion and coastal erosion. Future projections of climate variability based on the rigorous IPCC methodology for Togo will be as follows. If the country remains in emission stabilization (RCP6.0) compared to 2020, temperatures will increase from 0.6 \u00b0C to 0.7 \u00b0C in 2025 and from 2.15\u00b0C to 2.75 \u00b0C in 2100.", "If the country remains in the stabilization of emissions (RCP6.0) compared to 2020, temperatures will increase from 0.6\u00b0C to 0.7\u00b0C in 2025 and from 2.15\u00b0C to 2.75\u00b0C in 2100. Precipitation will vary from -0.08% to +0.35% (2025) and from -0.3% to +1.26% (2100). On the other hand, if the country embarks on the process of reducing greenhouse gas emissions (RCP4.5), temperatures will increase from 0.66 to 0.84\u00b0C (2025) and from 1.53 to 1.96\u00b0C (2100). Precipitation will vary from -0.09% to +0.39% (2025) and from -0.21% to +0.89% (2100). 4.2.1. Energy Sector 4.2.1.1. Biomass -energy Wood energy accounts for 80% of the energy used by households and 90% of the local population uses this", "Biomass -energy Wood energy accounts for 80% of the energy used by households and 90% of the local population uses this energy source in Togo. The current wood energy potential will meet only 28% and 12% of the national demand respectively by 2025 and 2050. On the basis of multi-criteria analyses, the wood energy sector has an average vulnerability index and an estimated 0.58 at the national level. At the regional level, the two northern regions of the country (Savanes and Kara) are facing a high level of vulnerability with an index between 0.6 and 0.8. The impacts related to this vulnerability on this sector are mainly the low growth and production of wood-energy biomass, the depletion of wood-energy species and the destruction of protected and remote ecosystems from homes that provide shelter for most endangered species.", "The impacts related to this vulnerability on this sector are mainly the low growth and production of wood-energy biomass, the depletion of wood-energy species and the destruction of protected and remote ecosystems from homes that provide shelter for most endangered species. The vulnerability of the wood-energy sector will increase in the future. Indeed, in the event of stabilisation (RCP6.0), the vulnerability index of this sub-sector will fall into the high class from 2075 onwards for the whole country. If appropriate measures are not taken, there will be socio-economic repercussions such as the increase in the price of fuelwood and charcoal, the increase in the poverty index in rural areas, etc. 4.2.1.2.", "4.2.1.2. Hydroelectricity In Togo, hydroelectric power generation is exclusively provided by the Kpim\u00e9 and Nangbeto dams, which are fed by large rivers. The current vulnerability of this sector is average with an index of 0.51. In the future, its vulnerability will rise to the high class from 2075 onwards if nothing is done. This will exacerbate the current impacts of climate change resulting in a reduction in the water table of hydroelectric dams, the destruction of hydroelectric works, and the low capacity to supply energy to businesses and industries.", "This will exacerbate the current impacts of climate change, resulting in a reduction in the water table of hydroelectric dams, the destruction of hydroelectric works, and the low capacity to supply energy to enterprises and industries. If the integrated water resources management (IWRM) measures provided for in the sector\u2019s planning documents, as well as the policy for the development of renewable energies, are implemented, the vulnerability index will be significantly reduced by 2025 (0.48) and 2050 (0.35). 4.2.1.3. Hydrocarbons Togo is not a producer of hydrocarbons, so its vulnerability to climate change is not direct. It is linked to that of the wood-energy and hydropower sectors. Thus, the decrease in the supply of biomass energy and hydropower will increase the consumption of hydrocarbons.", "In terms of impacts, expenditures are expected to increase due to increased oil consumption with negative impacts on the transportation sector. 4.2.2. Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFAT) Sector In Togo, the AFAT sector is the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. At the national level, a downward trend in precipitation coupled with a rise in temperature is expected, with likely effects on biodiversity, species habitat, ecosystem services and agricultural production in Togo.", "Thus, probable effects on biodiversity, species habitat, ecosystem services and agricultural production in Togo are expected. These effects are mostly related to drought, flooding and pest development. 4.2.2.1. Forestry and Other Land Use Subsector (FLU) The resulting vulnerability of the Forestry and Other Land Use subsector is 0.59 for the country as a whole, which is equivalent to a \"medium\" level of vulnerability. However, it is \"high\" for the Central, Kara and Savannah regions, and \"medium\" for the Plateau and Maritime regions. This vulnerability to the FLU sector in all regions of the country results in: \u2756 Increased natural mortality of timber in Togo\u2019s natural ecosystems.", "This vulnerability in the FAT sector is reflected in all regions of the country by: \u2756 Increased natural mortality of timber in Togo\u2019s natural ecosystems. High temperatures and drought increase the intensity of fires, which are responsible for most of the timber mortality in forest areas. The natural mortality rate is 8.60%, 5.41% and 5.42% respectively for the Savannah, Kara and Central regions. \u2756 Deterioration of the health status of timber stands. In Togo\u2019s natural ecosystems, an average of 20 feet per hectare is attacked by pests.", "According to field investigations, the high temperatures recorded in recent years would explain the recurrence of attacks on wood by pests and plant pests. \u2756 Windfall. The estimated damage to forests from severe winds is 9 feet/ha in natural ecosystems. \u2756 Low regeneration capacity. With climate change, vegetation fires are more severe and regeneration is suppressed or delayed. In forest landscapes in protected areas, less than 30% of potential installed regeneration survives fires that become increasingly severe with CAC. \u2756 Land use. Climate drying, increasing temperatures and evapotranspiration intensify soil leaching and latterization, while heavy rains increase soil erosion, especially in rugged environments. This leads to increased land degradation.", "Climate drying, increasing temperatures and evapotranspiration intensify soil leaching and latterisation, while heavy rains increase soil erosion, especially in rugged environments. This leads to an increase in land degradation. On the other hand, extensive burning agriculture leads to a reduction in forest cover. Highly exposed to climate change, the LULUCF sector suffers from impacts such as the loss of forest cover, the loss of biodiversity and protected ecosystems, the disappearance of certain forest species and low mangrove productivity. In the future, the vulnerability of this sub-sector will increase at national level by 2050 with an index of 0.63 corresponding to high vulnerability. This situation will be observed in all regions except the plateau sector, which will remain in the middle class.", "This situation will be observed in all regions except the plateau region, which will remain in the middle class. In this context, outside the Atakora chain, all forest ecosystems in Togo will be highly exposed to decreasing precipitation and increasing temperatures with worsening impacts related to climate hazards. 4.2.2.2. Agriculture, livestock and fisheries sub-sector The major disturbances in agriculture, livestock and fisheries in all economic regions of Togo are climate hazards. These are seasonal changes, irregular rainfall with drought pockets, increasing temperatures, flooding and pest attacks. These hazards make this sub-sector very vulnerable with the impact on food security (loss of crops).", "These uncertainties make this sub-sector very vulnerable with an impact on food security (loss of crops). \u2756 Vulnerability and impacts of the agricultural sub-sector The resulting vulnerability of the crop production sector is generally high for the country as a whole and particularly in the Savannah region. The impacts of this vulnerability are reflected in yield losses estimated over the past ten years to be between 30% and 51% for the main food crops. Indeed, the drought pockets observed caused yield losses of 1.3t/ha, 1.0t/ha and 0.7t/ha respectively for maize, rice and ignamine. Pests, including the fall legionnaires, caused losses ranging from 0.5 to 0.95t/ha for maize. In 2020, the total area of flooded food crops is 6902 ha with production losses", "In 2020, the total area of flooded food crops is 6902 ha with production losses estimated at nearly 9000 t. Currently estimated at 0.70, the national vulnerability index of the agricultural subsector will remain high with a slight increase to 0.75 by 2050. This will exacerbate the impacts on the agricultural sector with disruption of the agricultural calendar, devastation of crops by pests (leguminous shrubs, peregrine fly), emergence of new invasive species, disappearance of certain cultivars, decreased agricultural yields, erosion of cultivable areas, etc. \u2756 Vulnerability and impacts of the livestock subsector In all regions of Togo, poultry farming is a widespread activity in rural areas.", "This type of family farming, which employs women, is less demanding in terms of water. However, small ruminants and large cattle farming, which is widely practised in the savannah and plateau regions by sedentary and transhumant farmers, is demanding in terms of the availability of natural resources such as water. With the trend of prolonged drought in recent decades, there has been a recurrence of conflicts between farmers and breeders, which increases vulnerability in the livestock sub-sector. In the savannah region, livestock is decimated due to lack of water and fodder. Furthermore, the proliferation of epidemics such as bacterial coal, African swine fever and avian influenza in the regions is said to be linked to the increasingly high temperatures.", "On the other hand, the proliferation of epidemics such as bacterial coal, African swine fever, avian influenza in the regions is said to be linked to the increasingly high temperatures. This situation affects domestic livestock production, which covers less than 50% of the population\u2019s needs. \u2756 Vulnerability and impacts of the fisheries sub-sector The fishery is concentrated on the coast, the lagoon complex in southern Togo, the Nangb\u00e9to basin, and along the Mono and Oti rivers. With drought and high temperatures, the fisheries sector becomes more vulnerable. Thus, the coverage rate for fishery products has increased from 35% in 2015 to 29% in 2017. High temperatures, flooding and the early bonding of rivers make spawning areas sensitive, thus reducing the availability of fish.", "High temperatures, flooding and the early spreading of rivers make spawning areas sensitive, thus reducing the availability of fish. As with livestock farming, the future vulnerability of the fisheries subsector may increase with increased impacts such as reduced catches, siltation of rivers and the disappearance of certain fish species. These impacts will also affect the government\u2019s efforts to develop aquaculture with the depletion of fry. 4.2.3. Water Resources Sector High temperatures, irregularities and changes in the distribution of precipitation are reflected in a decrease in water stocks at ground and surface water levels. This situation makes the water sector at the national level very vulnerable, especially in the Savannah region.", "On the basis of the Standardised Precipitation Index (SPI), the years between 1961 and 2018 are dominated by moderate to severe drought in the Kara and Maritime regions. Currently, the impacts associated with climate change in the water sector are early depletion of wells and rivers, salinization of rivers, salt intrusion into the continental terminal and water pollution. Simulations indicate that, in the event of stabilization (RCP6), the two major river basins (Oti and Mono) and the lagoon complex of Togo will be affected in various ways by 2030. Indeed, water stocks (surface and underground) will increase by 7 to 28 million cubic metres in the Mono basin.", "Water supplies (surface and underground) will increase by 7 to 28 million cubic metres in the Mono basin; however, they will decrease by 60 to 500 million cubic metres and 120 to 750 million cubic metres respectively in the Oti basin and Lake Togo. If measures are not taken, problems with the availability and accessibility of drinking water for the population will increase and the government will have difficulty in ensuring easy, universal and equitable access to drinking water (MDG 1 of the ODD6) and in improving its quality by reducing pollution (MDG 3 of the ODD6). The impacts will be exacerbated by inadequate household drinking water supply and the risk of conflicts over sources of water supply. 4.2.4. Human Settlements and Health Human settlements are becoming increasingly vulnerable in Togo.", "Human settlements sector and health Human settlements are becoming increasingly vulnerable in Togo. In 2020 and 2021, the flooding of rivers in the Oti and Mono basin has caused enormous material damage with loss of human lives. Human facilities and infrastructure (roads, markets, health centres, homes, schools, electricity and telecommunications, etc.) are being weakened and collapsed and will increase in the future. At the health level, high temperatures and flooding are causing the outbreak and proliferation of the germs of certain diseases such as malaria, meningitis, typhoid fever, cholera and respiratory diseases that were once localized and controlled. To date, the northern regions (Savanes and Kara) are the most vulnerable. However, the simulation shows that in the future, the risk of its diseases could spread southwards with an", "However, the simulation shows that in the future, the risk of its diseases could spread southwards with a worsening in the northern regions. The mortality rate would increase and the vulnerability of the elderly, pregnant women, persons with disabilities, people living with HIV-AIDS and children would become increasingly high. 4.2.5. Coastal zone The erosion of the Togolese coast, which has been the subject of scientific observations since 1964, translates over the years into a change in the coastline.", "In the future, all climate scenarios indicate an amplification of this phenomenon as the magnitude of sea level rise will increase from 11.35 cm in 2025 to 62 cm in 2100. This situation will exacerbate the current impacts of the complete disappearance of some of the coastal villages, the considerable loss of land and coastal ecosystems, the destruction of coastal infrastructure (roads, houses, hotels, etc.), the disruption of economic activities and the destruction of spawning grounds. 4.3.", "This situation will exacerbate the current impacts of the complete disappearance of some of the coastal villages, the considerable loss of land and coastal ecosystems, the destruction of coastal infrastructure (roads, houses, hotels, etc.), the disruption of economic activities and the destruction of spawning grounds. 4.3. PRIORITIES, OBJECTIVES AND ADAPTATION MEASURES The following diagram represents the strategic map that will enable the adaptation capacity of the populations to be strengthened in all the priority sectors delineated here in axes. The objectives defined are derived from the national priorities translated into the NACHA and other national and sectoral planning tools (Figure 5). The implementation of activities to achieve these objectives is based on the promotion of the principles of equity, gender, cooperation, research and transparency.", "The implementation of activities to achieve these objectives is based on the promotion of the principles of equity, gender, cooperation, research and transparency. Figure 5: Strategic map of adaptation in Togo 4.3.2. Adaptation measures/Co-benefits for mitigation In order to strengthen the resilience of populations, adaptation measures including those that result in beneficial impacts in the field of mitigation are identified in the priority sectors (Table 4). The various measures identified in Togo integrate nature-based solutions that can contribute to mitigation while strengthening adaptation to climate change. These co-benefits translate into increased carbon sequestration potential, crop capacity to cope with water stress and pest attacks, reduction of flood risks and the proliferation of pathogens.", "These co-benefits translate into increased carbon sequestration potential, crop capacities to cope with water stress and pest attacks, reduction of flood risks and the proliferation of pathogens. These identified measures address a number of persistent needs in strengthening the resilience of communities to the effects of climate change despite the efforts undertaken by the State (Table 4). In addition, the measures identified will contribute to the implementation of frameworks aimed at strengthening adaptation at the national and international levels. At the national level, the various adaptation measures will essentially contribute to the operationalisation of the National Development Plan.

Urban Agriculture is a factor that plays an important role in relation to food security, with more than one hundred (100) million people involved in urban horticulture, this organic and community practice is growing exponentially.", "Where urban agriculture contributes to both mitigation and adaptation to climate change. Therefore, it is one of the most widely adopted current tools for creating resilient food systems. The agricultural sector is a major source of pollution, accounting for between 20% and 30% of global carbon emissions. Urban agriculture, on the other hand, is often characterized by the use of sustainable practices, which are beneficial to the soil. Thus, instead of requiring massive amounts of clean water, innovative systems can be adopted to recycle grey water. This can be done by diverting rainfall in the rainy season or storing used water in the home, and then watering plants. Similarly, urban waste management programs can transform organic matter into natural fertilizers, which will subsequently be used in urban agriculture projects.", "Similarly, urban waste management programs can transform organic matter into natural fertilizers, which will then be used in urban agriculture projects. These fertilizers replace chemical fertilizers based on oil and reduce methane emissions in landfills. These practices not only reduce the use of harmful agricultural inputs, but also reduce urban pollution and thus mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. The local character of urban agriculture can be drastically reduced, the contribution that conventional agriculture makes and contributes to improving climate change. The purchase of local food significantly reduces the \u201cfood mileage\u201d, i.e. the distance goods travel to reach consumers. It also reduces transport-related carbon emissions.", "The purchase of local food significantly reduces the \u201cfood mileage\u201d, i.e. the distance that goods travel to reach consumers. It also reduces transport-related carbon emissions. Urban agriculture contributes to climate change mitigation and adaptation with the production of good quality food, minimizing the anticipated drastic effects on food supply and demand generated by environmental changes. In this context, urban and peri-urban agriculture can increase the production of fresh and nutritious food to a city. Therefore, urban agriculture not only helps to mitigate climate change, but also helps to forge more resilient food systems and improve food security.", "Since guaranteeing the right to food is a complex task that depends on many. factors, it should not be solely the responsibility of the national government.
