Adaptation Planning

The proposal outlines a 24-month project to prepare Guinea for the development of a National Adaptation Plan (NAP). It identifies critical barriers, including outdated climate data from 2001, fragmented coordination, and a lack of private sector involvement. The project aims to establish a Research-Policy Working Group, update climate projections using IPCC AR5 models, and operationalize the National Climate Committee (CNC). It also seeks to reform the Environmental Safeguard Fund (FSE) and engage the bauxite mining sector through the Bauxite Environment Network (REB). The total requested amount is USD 1,629,717, with implementation led by the UNDP.

• Guinea faces significant climate threats including sea level rise, droughts, and flooding, which pressure high-risk sectors such as agriculture, livestock, forestry, water resources, and coastal zone management.
• The country's current climate projections are outdated, dating back to 2001, and are based on SRES scenarios, which prevents agencies from making informed decisions on adaptation.
• The National Climate Committee (CNC), established in 2014, is currently non-operational due to a lack of resources and its specific designation mode, hindering the mainstreaming of climate considerations into sectoral policies.
• There is a critical disconnect between research institutions and policy-makers, with no formal mechanisms to share information or align research agendas with national planning frameworks like Vision 2040 and PNDES.
• The Environmental Safeguard Fund (FSE), created in 1987, has failed to collect pollution taxes and is not adequately structured to mobilize internal or external resources for climate financing.
• The private mining sector, organized via the Bauxite Environment Network (REB), shows willingness to support environmental efforts but lacks a formal partnership with the adaptation community.
• Climate change adaptation (CCA) is not integrated into the national Planning-Programming-Budgeting-Monitoring and Evaluation (PPBSE) procedures, which risks the exclusion of adaptation in the budgeting cycle.
• The project will target specific high-vulnerability zones: agriculture in Upper Guinea, livestock in the northern Sudan-Guinean pastoral zone of Middle Guinea, and mangrove forests in Low Guinea.
