This roadmap has been designed through a participatory process to enhance coordination in addressing and managing transboundary climate risks in Africa. It does so by setting out a series of four interdependent ‘mini roadmaps’, which each identify priority actions for the near, mid and long term.
The authors of the roadmap recommend that the African Union Commission (AUC) and key partners develop an implementation plan to realize the commitment to “Enhance coordination between the regional economic communities and Member States in addressing and managing transboundary and cascading climate risks”, as established in the African Union Climate Change and Resilient Development Strategy and Action Plan (2022-2032) (African Union, 2022).
