| Project Detail |
The programme to support the strengthening of governance and climate action is financed within the framework of the Development-Climate-Energy Indicative Cooperation Programme, which is designed as Luxembourgs response to support Cabo Verdes socio-economic and environmental development policies and strategies during the period 2021–2025. The program aims to strengthen governance and climate action in Cabo Verde . The objective is to contribute to a paradigm shift, linking the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to socio-ecological resilience and the physical resistance of citizens, ecosystems and assets to climate change. The overall objective of the program is to support Cabo Verde in implementing, by 2025, its new climate policy , as defined in the Nationally Determined Contribution and the National Adaptation Plan. This will result in the establishment of consolidated climate governance that will make Cabo Verde a low-carbon and more resilient country in the face of climate change. Greater effectiveness and efficiency in climate governance and action will operationalize the enhanced transparency framework and thus help the country meet its international climate commitments as defined in the Paris Agreement signed by Cabo Verde in 2016. The intervention logic is defined according to two result areas. These aim to bridge the gap between, on the one hand, current and projected climate governance, the main beneficiary being the governance/institutional level, and, on the other hand, the adaptation and mitigation situation, for the benefit of the populations and ecosystems most vulnerable to climate change in Cabo Verde. Institutionalizing effective and efficient climate governance in Cabo Verde involves developing climate knowledge and skills to improve the mobilization of climate finance and streamline climate action in a context-appropriate and resource-efficient manner. Thus, the program aims to strengthen public climate action through coordination among different government actors, donors, and civil society, with an emphasis on long-term planning, decentralization, transparency, financing, capacity building, knowledge sharing, diplomacy, enforcement of existing legislation, and social participation. |
