Abstract

This National Adaptation Plan for Action (NAPA) is a multi-sectoral policy document. The NAPA was developed by evaluating the impacts of climate change on the relevant sectors. The sectors that were analyzed are agriculture and food security (livestock, fisheries and crops), energy and water, human health, natural resources and wildlife. The primary goal of the NAPA process is to broadly communicate to the international community priority activities that address Zambia’s urgent and immediate needs for adapting to the adverse impacts of climate change.
