What's New in Fostering Adaptation in Eastern and Southern Africa?

Recognizing the high vulnerability of African countries to the impacts of climate change, the Integrating Vulnerability and Adaptation to Climate Change into Sustainable Development Policy Planning and Implementation in Eastern and Southern Africa project (ACCESA) was initiated by the United Nations Environment Programme with the support of the Global Environment Facility.
