Climate And Environmental Services For Water Excess Management , Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, November 6th, 2023, 9h00-15h30 GMT
That second webinar aimed to focus on, Climate and environmental services for water excess management in West Africa and will be held at ACE CCBAD (African Centre of Excellence on Climate Change, Biodiversity and Sustainable Agriculture) in the University Félix Houphouet Boigny, Bingerville, Côte d’Ivoire on November, 6th, 2023.
According to IPCC AR6 (2021, 2022), precipitation will significantly increase in countries of the Guinea Coast of West Africa and flooding mainly over coastal areas is likely to increase. Managing excess water in both rural and urban areas is crucial to mitigate the impact of floods, erosion, and waterlogging in agricultural areas, while also ensuring an optimal and sustainable water supply. However, effective water excess management requires a multidisciplinary approach that combines climate science, hydrology, infrastructure planning, and community engagement.
That second webinar of CS4RRA aimed to highlight how climate and environmental services can play a vital role in providing the necessary information and supporting solutions to mitigate the impacts of excess water events and build climate resilience.
