Adaptation Needs for Industry in Climate Vulnerable Countries

•The poorest and most vulnerable people are being affected the most, especially on their food and water security.

•SMEs are the economic drive in developing countries.

3

•To minimize climate-induced risks thereby increasing their resilience and avoiding potential future costs.

Climate Impact on Private Sector

Adaptation for Industry

Direct Risk

• Building

• Machine damage

• Storage problems

• Decrease of labor productivity

In-Direct Risk

• Shortages in resources such as water and energy

• Disruptions of supply chains

• Changes in regulations

• Changes in demand

4

Climate Resilient Industry

•Climate resilient industry builds on cleaner and resource & energy- efficient production practices and technologies to ensure managing climate risks.

5

Project Objectives

•To create awareness and demonstrate the opportunities and benefits of low carbon growth and climate resilient development in the manufacturing and related productive sectors in Africa
