Like other countries in the area, Botswana is experiencing the effects of climate change with the increase in temperatures and the increase in atmospheric phenomena that have a frequent devastating impact on the territory. The Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security has signed a first Agreement (https://www.mase.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio/allegati/trasparenza_valutazione_merito/SVI/allegati/07_12_2016/MoU%20Botswana.pdf), with the country, on climate change Vulnerability, risk assessment, adaptation and mitigation, and with a particular focus on forest management. This agreement led to the development of three projects (https://www.mase.gov.it/pagina/botswana#Progetti), one of which was successfully completed.

At present, MASE is in the process of signing a second agreement and following up on existing projects.
