Climate change is a threat to human existence, and adapting and mitigating uprising environmental challenges is imminent. This department is involved in the following.

Addressing the concerns of all vulnerable groups, whose adaptive capacity is low, particularly women, the elderly, the physically challenged, and the children who are particularly affected by the impacts of climate change.

-Promotion of renewable energy technologies (biogas plants, solar panels, hydroelectricity, biofuels).

-Infrastructural investment through the use of climate change-proofed clean technologies; transfer of technologies will support the development, implementation of the regional medium, adaptation strategies, long-term mitigation, and activities.

-The protection of ecosystems including transboundary ecosystems, which are particularly vulnerable such as the coastal, marine, wetlands, and freshwater ecosystems.

-Development of climate change-related impact assessment and management as an adaptation tool, should be emphasized in future climatic negotiations.

– Promotion and carrying out research on forecasting, development of climatic scenarios, and climatic cartography at the local, national and international levels.

– Getting involved in the transition to a Green Economy, low carbon footprints, carbon markets, evaluation of Green House Gas (GHG) in all sectors, indulging in aspects of calculating and evaluating the sequestration levels of our forest.
