Background
The global impact of climate change and natural hazards has been worsening in the last few decades, and more specifically in Africa.
Extreme weather events in Africa are expected to become widespread and severe, with reduced food production and economic growth, increased inequality and poverty, biodiversity loss, and
increased human morbidity and mortality.
About Us
The African Centre for Climate Resilience and Adaptation (ACCRA) was established in 2023 with the mission to support African countries to enhance their capacity and resilience to climate change in a proactive and sustainable manner. We also promote sustainable agriculture and enhancing food security across the continent.
Our Mission
Our mission is to contribute to mitigating the negative impacts of climate disasters on the economies of countries, communities and rural dwellers, especially small-scale farmers in Africa, and thereby reducing loss of lives and livelihoods on the continent. We also contribute to the long-term protection of agricultural investments that enhance food and nutrition security across the continent.
Our Vision
Our vision is to see all African countries prepared and managing climate related disaster eventualities in an ex-ante, rather than ex-poste, manner.
Objective
To support African countries to enhance their capacity and resilience to climate-related disaster risks proactively and sustainably.
