Addressing the impacts of climate ch

ange is a strategic issue that

requires a

c

omprehensive and sustainable approach. As a result of climate change, global

temperatures are expected to

continue to rise,

resulting in

sea level rise

and an increase

in the frequency of extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, landslides and

stor

ms. These hazards are expect

ed to affect natural ecosystems

,

as well as human

communities through their costly impacts on basic services, infrastructure, housing,

economic livelihood and health.
