Five City Adaption Network - Sharing lessons learned
2012/07/12
Last week saw the closing of ICLEI Africa’s three year Climate Change Adaptation project entitled:
‘Sub-Saharan African Cities: A Five City Network to Pioneer Climate Adaptation through participatory Research and Local Action’, funded jointly by DFID and IDRC through the Climate Change Adaptation in Africa (CCAA) Program.
The closing workshop of this project was hosted at the Southern Sun Cullinan Hotel in Cape Town, South Africa from 4-6 June 2012. All five project pioneering cities (Walvis Bay, Namibia; Cape Town, South Africa; Maputo, Mozambique; Temeke Municipality, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; and Port Louis Mauritius) participated in knowledge sharing sessions and discussions pertaining to the lessons that have been learned and shared between the project cities over the past three years. These adaptation lessons, and the implementation thereof, have been gained through the use of platforms and networks from local, regional and international areas that this project, combined with the ICLEI international network of sub national governments has provided.
