Botswana

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, 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, one of which was successfully completed.

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