Integration of climate-related issues in urban planning – Framework agreement AFD CICLIA
Context & Issues
Since it is exposed to cyclones, flooding and torrential rain, and with rapid urbanisation and growth of cultivated areas, Madagascar is the 7th most vulnerable country in the world to climate change (according to IRC 2019 – global index for climate-related risks). With an annual growth rate of its urban population of approximately 5%, cities in Madagascar are particularly at risk.
Adaptation is now a fundamental consideration in sustainable land planning, and local authorities must strengthen their skills to implement solutions that are appropriate for each urban context.
