User interface platform for DRR emphasis on climate resilient infrastructure for Africa<\/strong><\/p>

Climate Change is stressing costly infrastructure across Africa (roads, water reservoir destroyed, bridges broken and water flowing above\u2026). In Africa, the risks associated to climate change are not integrated in infrastructure planning, design and development reducing life time and expected benefits overt the theoretical operational life time of the infrastructure. \u00a0Investments in existing and planned infrastructure should include future climate scenarios for climate resilient design, building and operation.The infrastructure of the 21st<\/sup> century should provide socioeconomic and environmental benefits and contribute to adaptation to the impacts of climate change.<\/p>

In response to the challenge of strengthening infrastructure resilience, ACMAD and partners through the User interface platform for DRR are organizing the meeting of the ClimSA User interface platform for DRR with emphasis on climate services for infrastructure resilience in Africa to raise awareness for increase investments in infrastructure supporting climate adaptation through partnerships with Federation of African Organizations of Engineers(FAOE).<\/p>

ACMAD ClimSA Continental Steering Committee <\/strong><\/p>

To ensure effectiveness in implementation, the grant agreement on ClimSA at ACMAD foresaw the establishment of the Continental Steering Committee whose members are composed of ACMAD Board of Governors, the EU Delegation to the African union, the OACPS, Technical Implementing Partners (WMO, EUMETSAT and JRC) and key partners of the applications sectors mentioned above.\u00a0 The Steering Committee oversees implementation and provides policy direction to the implementing team. \u00a0The third ACMAD ClimSA Steering Committee meeting will discuss the second-year achievements, review and approve the work plan and budget for year 3.\u00a0<\/p>

Partnership for Early warning for all Africa: A country level example<\/strong><\/p>

One third of the global population including 60% in Africa don\u2019t have assess or use early warning systems and climate information services to make decision on how to address the risks posed by a changing climate. The ClimSA continental User Interface Platform for DRR supports national establishment and operation of User Interface. The meeting is part of efforts by the National Meteorological service of Cote d\u2019\u00cdvoire to establish and operate national early warning and early action system.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
