Summary:
Climate change, involving both human-induced global warming and natural climate variability, has been called upon to explain the occurrences of weather extremes with their associated natural hazards. The Philippines experienced a dry spell in 2007 specifically in parts of Luzon which occurred during the rainy season. On the other hand, areas in Mindanao, southern Philippines which were supposed to be dry, were wet due to the non-migration of the inter-tropical convergence zone northward.

Implementing Agency:
Summary:
National adaptation programmes of action (NAPAs) provide a process for Least Developed Countries (LDCs) to identify priority activities that respond to their urgent and immediate needs to adapt to climate change – those for which further delay would increase vulnerability and/or costs at a later stage. The following summarizes the NAPA for Senegal.
Expected Outputs:
The objectives of this NAPA are:
* To serve as simplified and direct channels of communication for information relating to the urgent and immediate needs for adaptation in Senegal;
* To facilitate capacity building for the preparation of national communications, and addressing urgent and immediate adaptation needs.
