Adaptation Needs for Industry in
Climate Vulnerable Countries• The poorest and mostvulnerable people arebeing affected the most,especially on their foodand water security.
• SMEs are the economic
drive in developingcountries.
2

Climate Adaptation for Industry• To minimize climate-induced risks thereby
increasing their resilience and avoiding potential
future costs.
Climate Impact on Private Sector
Direct Risk
• Building• Machine damage• Storage problems• Decrease of laborproductivity

In-Direct Risk
• Shortages in resources suchas water and energy• Disruptions of supply chains• Changes in regulations• Changes in demand3

Climate Resilient Industry• Climate resilient industry builds on
cleaner and energy & resourceefficient production process andtechnologies that de-couple
economic growth from unsustainable
resource consumption andenvironmental degradation.

4

Project Objectives• To create awareness and demonstrate theopportunities and benefits of low carbon
growth and climate resilient development in
the manufacturing and related productive
sectors in Africa
