Review of Current and Planned Adaptation Action in Tanzania

The report identifies climate change as a significant threat to Tanzania's development due to rising temperatures, sea-level rise, and altered precipitation patterns. While the government has established institutional structures and strategies, the report emphasizes the need for better implementation and integration of climate change into sectoral policies, particularly in water, health, agriculture, and disaster risk reduction.

• Climate change threatens Tanzania's development and prosperity, with rising temperatures, sea-level rise, and changing rainfall patterns risking the reversal of recent progress due to the population's low adaptive capacity and reliance on climate-dependent livelihoods.
• The Tanzanian government has identified 14 key sectors requiring adaptation action, including water, agriculture, health, energy, and infrastructure, and has made progress in creating institutional structures and strategies.
• Despite existing adaptation actions and strategies, there is a critical need to improve the implementation of these plans and integrate climate change considerations into the policies of sectors such as disaster risk reduction, agriculture, health, and water.
