Die Rolle von Startups in Afrikas Energiewende (EN)

The document examines Senegal's climate adaptation framework, highlighting the alignment between its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and the Senegal Emerging Plan for 2035. While progress is noted in sectoral adaptation plans for fisheries and livestock, and local communities have successfully implemented projects in agriculture, coastal protection, and health, significant gaps remain. Key challenges include a lack of evidence-based knowledge, insufficient integration of indigenous practices into national policy, and a substantial financing gap, with NDC needs estimated at USD 14.5 billion by 2030.

• Senegal's climate strategy employs a sectoral and territorial approach, prioritizing eight vulnerable sectors for adaptation: agriculture, livestock, fisheries, health, water resources and floods, biodiversity, and the coastal zone.
• The government has integrated climate adaptation into broader development frameworks, specifically aligning the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Senegal Emerging Plan (PSE) for 2035.
• Progress in sectoral adaptation varies; while fisheries and livestock have finalized national adaptation plans, other sectors like agriculture, infrastructure, flooding, and health are still conducting vulnerability studies in the regions of Ziguinchor, Kédougou, Kaffrine, Matam, and Saint-Louis.
• Local communities have demonstrated capacity to implement adaptation strategies independently, such as the use of photovoltaic solar panels for boreholes in Daga Birame, the Epis Maltais Savard system for coastal protection in Dionewar, and heat wave early warning systems in Widdou Thingolly.
• There is a significant disconnect between local adaptation practices and national policy, with indigenous knowledge not being sufficiently utilized to inform global or national climate action.
• Senegal faces a critical financing gap for its climate commitments, with the cost of the NDC estimated at USD 14.5 billion by 2030 and current adaptation funding planned before 2030 representing less than 25% of African countries' estimated needs.
