Adaptation and resilience
As a Least Developed Country, Zambia produced a National Adaptation Plan of Action (NAPA) in 2007. The NAPA documents national circumstances, vulnerabilities, and expected impacts from climate change in Zambia, as well as identifying and prioritising responsive actions. The NAPA also outlines the consultation, resources and information that were used to prioritise adaptation interventions. The primary concern for the Government of Zambia is to “protect its people, infrastructure, and other national assets against disasters a nd climatic hazards such as drought and floods”. This document provides an overview of climate change issues and adaptation strategies in Zambia.
