It draw on many years of experience in more than 100 countries in sectors that are now the key to effective climate change mitigation: energy, transport, buildings, industry, waste management, forestry and agriculture; and to thematic areas where the pressure to adapt is greatest: e. g. disaster management, security, health, desertification, agriculture, water and the conservation of biodiversity.
This document places the emphasis on implementation and looks forward to suport Stakeholders in their endeavours to tackle climate change. Illustrated with numerous examples of projects, it focuses on results and on building the requisite capacities in countries to achieve them.
