Burkina Faso's national adaptation plan: a long-term planning effort

In 2012, Burkina Faso launched a comprehensive effort to develop a National Adaptation Plan. This case study explores Burkina Faso’s national process to formulate a medium- and long-term strategy for climate change adaptation, which in turn enabled the development of climate projections for Burkina Faso for 2021, 2050, and 2100, as well as the assessment of different sectors’ vulnerability to climate change.
