Africa and Climate ChangeEconomic Changes
• Impacts of climate change in 2030 could cost up to 2.7% of the GDP in Africa.
• E.g. Flood in Senegal : 104M$ in 2009, about 0,07% GDP
• Source: initial results from a global integrated assessment model (FUND); UNEP AdaptCost and EC ClimateCost projects

Development in a time of climate change
Addressing Africa’s economic growth without compromising the climate?

ADAPTATION
• Adaptation is a prerequisite for development
• Integrate climate risks into development planning
• Research community to develop a research agenda that reflect the needs of African governments, and provide tools to predict and understand current climate variability and extremes

MITIGATION- Development in a time of climate change
• Policy to reduce emissions through :– Technology policy, and – removal of barriers to behavioural change.

Focus technologies that improve energy efficiency ; shift to new renewable energy technologies is a long
processe.g. Senegal : Over a 20 years period, cumulated savings on the import of fossil fuels of almost 70
million USD

• Postpone a binding legal framework following the KP (2015-2020)
• Most of International support to DC (GCF), expected from the market mechanisms.
• Africa to set the pace of the debate– Intellectual leadership on CC. Priority Areas for
Research:– Financial Instruments– Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV)– Technology Transfer and Diffusion– Institutional challenge
