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.
##### Climate Related Hazards
* Salt water intrusion
* Coastal zone inundation
* Drought and low flows
* Storm surge
* Extreme temperatures
##### Main Human Vulnerabilities and Livelihood Impacts
* Reduced agricultural production
* Reduced fishery productivity
* Water shortage and/or groundwater depletion
* Food security
* Income generation
* Water pollution
* Loss of biodiversity
* Loss of land or degradation
##### Priority Adaptation Projects
1. Développement de l’agroforesterie
2. Revitalisation du réseau hydrographique des bas-fonds, mares temporaries et lacs artificiels en appui au programme «bassins de rétention»
3. Promotion des techniques de goutte à goutte
4. Protection du littoral
5. Sensibilisation et Education du Public
