Description:
This is the national approach to assessing adaption needs in Rwanda. The approach is implemented through different actions including direct assessments of vulnerability at subnational and sectoral levels, sectoral TNAs, etc. Direct link to the case study: http://climateportal.rema.gov.rw/sites/default/files/Rwanda%20Climate%20Change%20Vulnerability%20Report%20%282019%29.pdf
Outcome:
This assessment provides an understanding of the relative vulnerability to climate change of the four provinces, the City of Kigali and 30 districts based on a vulnerability index. The climate change vulnerability index uses numbers to assess jurisdictions, which have then been categorized as Low, Medium and High vulnerability.
