Climate context in Africa: the 2023 was characterized by the longest and the lasting tropical cyclone Freddy over southern Africa and Indian ocean, high summer temperatures in northern Africa,devastating cyclone in Libya,late onset over the sahel. With the ongoing El Nino, flood in the Eastern Africa and drought in southern Africa are the priority hazards expected until March 2024.
2
Progress:
ACMAD operates the Regional Climate Centre (RCC) for all Africa since 2015, and the Continental Multihazard Advisory Centre (CMHAC) since October 2022. These centres support NMHSs with advisories and climate information services for early warning and adaptation to climate change.
3
Challenge:
2023 locations of storms and cyclones were anticipated but we are still challenged by substantial disaster losses because early warnings lack potential impact outlooks and related anticipatory actions.
4
Solutions:
The priorities to reduce losses and damages include better interfaces between meteorologists and disaster risk reduction communities and strengthening of Disaster Risk Reduction frameworks under the Seindai agreement. Mandatory ad-hoc briefings ahead and debriefing post disasters to share lessons and improve stakeholders coordination.
ACMAD participates at COP 28 as Intergovernmental Organization and supports African Negotiator by providing Climate Information and trend over the African continent.
AT COP 28, ACMAD will organize four side events to emphasize on the impact of Climate Change at Continental level.
