Resumen

This National Adaptation Programme of Action is a nationwide sectoral document developed by the Government of Eritrea to present the highest priority actions needed by the country to adapt to climate change. The document follows a twin-track approach, considering that adaptation to climate change possess great potential of affecting other topics as poverty reduction, improving food security, and disaster preparedness and prevention. The NAPA identifies the most vulnerable groups to climate risks together with the area most directly affected. As for the former, they are (i) subsistence farmers; (ii) rural dwellers; (iii) pastoralists; (iv) urban poor; (v) fishermen; and (vi) island residents. The concerned areas are the following (i) agriculture; (ii) livestock; (iii) forestry; (iv) water resources; (v) marine and coastal zones; and (vi) public health. The adaptation projects are listed by urgency in each sector and, in the list of priorities, the most important among them are selected.
