Approche régionale d’adaptation au changement climatique au Burkina Faso

The document details a pilot project in Burkina Faso's Plateau-Central region that uses a standardized Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (RVA) to create a Regional Adaptation Plan (RAP). This regional approach aims to refine national adaptation strategies by addressing local specificities, specifically targeting vulnerable groups and key sectors like agriculture and health.

• The Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (RVA) for the Plateau-Central region identified primary climate threats as droughts, extreme heat, and floods. While droughts are expected to remain stable or decrease between 2021 and 2080, heatwaves and flooding are projected to increase.
• The most vulnerable sectors in the Plateau-Central region are agriculture, water resources, livestock, environment, and health. Adaptation efforts must specifically prioritize small-scale farmers, livestock breeders, women, the elderly, and people with reduced mobility.
• The resulting Regional Adaptation Plan (RAP) for Plateau-Central covers the period 2024-2028, is steered by the Plateau-Central Regional Council, and identifies 44 priority adaptation actions.
• Implementing the regional approach is resource-intensive, requiring significant human and financial investment; the pilot phase in Plateau-Central took approximately one year to complete the RVA and the plan.
