During the last decade, many local governments have launched initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions and the potential impact of hydro-climatic disasters. Nonetheless, PLANNING TO COPE today barely 11% of subtropical and tropical cities with over 100,000 inhabitants have a climate plan. Often this tool neither issues from an analysis of climate change or hydro climatic risks, nor does it provide an adequate depth of detail WITH TROPICAL for the identified measures (cost, funding mode, implementation), nor a sound monitoring-evaluation device. This book aims to improve the quality of climate planning by providing 19 examples AND SUBTROPICAL of analysis and assessments in eleven countries. It is intended for local operators in the fields of climate, hydro-climatic risks, physical planning, besides researchers and students of these subjects. CLIMATE CHANGE The first chapter describes the status of climate planning in large subtropical and tropical cities. The following six chapters discuss the hazards (atmospheric drought, intense precipitations, sea level rise, sea water intrusion) and early warning systems in various contexts. Nine chapters explore flood risk analysis and preliminary mapping, climate change vulnerability, comparing contingency plans in various scales and presenting experiences centred on adaptation planning. The last three chapters introduce some best practices of weather and climate change monitoring, of flood risk mapping and assessment.

  • In Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger Situation Overview : Niger – Tillabéri and Tahoua Regions | March 2020
    Humanitarian situation monitoring (HSM) in Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger Situation overview : Niger – Tillabéri and Tahoua regions | March 2020 Context Since the outbreak of violence in Mali in 2012, the border area between Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso has been characterized by a climate of insecurity due to the presence of armed groups, crime and rising tensions between communities1. The security situation in Niger has deteriorated sharply since 2018 and has caused the internal displacement of 159,028 people in the Tillabéri and Tahoua regions as of March 20202. In addition, the provision of humanitarian assistance is subject to multiple constraints resulting in limitations to access affected populations due to security, geographic and climatic factors, as well as to measures taken as part of the state of emergency covering parts of the Tillabéri and Tahoua regions1. Limited humanitarian access is one of the factors at the origin of important information gaps about the scope, nature and severity of needs. To fill these information gaps, REACH has been implementing a monitoring of the humanitarian situation, financed by the U.S. Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) since January 2020, following a pilot phase in November 20193. This situation overview presents the main results for data collected in March 2020 in the Tillabéri and Tahoua regions and analyzes the development of main indicators in the Tillabéri region between November 2019 and March 20204. Methodology This assessment adopts a so-called “Area of knowledge” methodology. The aim of this methodology is to collect, analyze and share up-to-date information regarding multi-sectoral humanitarian needs in the region, including in areas that are difficult to access.

  • 2.3.2 Niger Border Crossing of Torodi
    2.3.2 Niger Border Crossing of Torodi Overview Daily Capacity Customs Clearance Other Relevant Information Overview The crossing at Torodi is set up the same way as the one at Gaya and share the same challenges. Torodi hosts a Customs Office, the CNUT, Soniloga and representatives from the Police Sanitaire that are charged with controlling incoming goods. The processes normally run smoothly and can be expected to be completed within two working days. Delays can arise due to problems with internet connection, and the crossing can in period be congested. A perpetual challenge is the ratio of trucks with Nigerien registration that is enforced by the CNUT and transporters union. The rule is that two thirds (2/3) of trucks for any combined cargo should be registered in Niger. However, there is often not enough Nigerien trucks available at the ports to clear the cargo and Togolese trucks are generally cheaper. Thus the rule is often violated which can lead to problems when crossing.
