Die Rolle von Startups in Afrikas Energiewende (EN)

The document analyzes climate adaptation in Senegal, highlighting the alignment of the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) with the Senegal Emerging Plan 2035. While the government has prioritized eight vulnerable sectors and local communities have developed effective grassroots adaptation strategies, the country faces significant challenges in evidence-based knowledge, the integration of indigenous practices into policy, and a substantial financing gap of USD 14.5 billion by 2030.

• Senegal has adopted a sectoral and territorial approach to climate action, prioritising eight vulnerable sectors for adaptation: agriculture, livestock, fisheries, health, water resources and floods, biodiversity, and the coastal zone.
• The Senegalese government has integrated climate adaptation into its broader development strategies, specifically aligning the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Senegal Emerging Plan (PSE) for 2035.
• While progress has been made in implementing adaptation policies, significant challenges persist, including a lack of evidence-based knowledge, insufficient integration of indigenous adaptation practices into national policy, and inequalities in climate resilience across different territories and sectors.
• Local communities in Senegal are actively implementing adaptation strategies, such as the use of photovoltaic solar panels for boreholes in Daga Birame, oyster farming and protective structures in Dionewar, and heat wave early warning systems in Widdou Thingolly, though they lack sufficient technical and financial support from the central government.
• Senegal faces a substantial climate financing gap, with the costs for its NDC estimated at USD 14.5 billion by 2030, and the current financing mechanism described as very uncertain.
