Based on analysis of the impact of climate variability and change on various development sectors in Burkina Faso, and on national strategies and interventions formulated by Government and its partners, and taking into account the five priorities of the Hyogo Action Framework (CAH) and objectives set in Burkina Faso's National Adaptation Program of Action (NAPA), this document identifies major problems, suggests key priority actions to be undertaken in the area of DRM and addresses adverse impacts of climate change. The document provides an outline of current weather conditions in Burkina Faso, long and medium term trends and establishes linkages with major disaster risks. It analyzes the institutional framework, related policies and investments, problems, challenges, and identifies priorities, as well as recommendations for supporting GFDRR. This country document was drafted after a participatory process carried out in close consultation with the National Council for Emergency Relief and Rehabilitation (CONASUR), which is Burkina Faso's risk prevention and humanitarian action co-ordination institution. Key government and non-government stakeholders were also involved.CC BY 3.0 IGOADVOCACY CAMPAIGNSAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONALTERNATIVE ENERGYBASIC EDUCATIONBIODIVERSITYCAPACITY BUILDINGCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCLEAN DEVELOPMENT MECHANISMCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CONDITIONSCLIMATIC FACTORSCLIMATIC ZONESCOCOLORSCONTINGENCY PLANCONTINGENCY PLANSDAMAGE ASSESSMENTDAMAGESDEFORESTATIONDESERTIFICATIONDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDEVELOPMENT EFFORTSDEVELOPMENT PLANNINGDEVELOPMENT PLANSDEVELOPMENT POLICIESDEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESDIFFUSIONDISASTERDISASTER MANAGEMENTDISASTER PREPAREDNESSDISASTER PREVENTIONDISASTER REDUCTIONDISASTER RESPONSEDISASTER RISKDISASTER RISK REDUCTIONDISASTER RISKSDISASTER SITUATIONDISASTERSDISEASESDISSEMINATIONDISSEMINATION OF INFORMATIONDOCUMENTSDROUGHTDROUGHTSEARLY WARNINGEARLY WARNING SYSTEMEARLY WARNING SYSTEMSECOSYSTEMEDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIESEFFECTIVE USEEMERGENCIESEMERGENCY NEEDSEMERGENCY RELIEFEMERGENCY SITUATIONEMERGENCY SITUATIONSEMISSIONSEMISSIONS FROM DEFORESTATIONENERGY SOURCESENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATIONENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTSEPIDEMICEROSION CONTROLEVAPORATIONFARMING AREASFATALITIESFERTILITYFIGHT AGAINST POVERTYFINANCIAL RESOURCESFIRST AIDFISHERIESFLOODFLOOD VICTIMSFLOODEDFLOODINGFLOODSFOOD AIDFOOD DISTRIBUTIONFOOD INSECURITYFOOD SECURITYFOREIGN AFFAIRSFORESTFOREST CARBONFOREST CARBON STOCKSFOREST DEGRADATIONFOREST FIRESFOREST INVESTMENTFORESTRYGENERATION CAPACITYGHGHEAVY RAINFALLHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHUMAN CAPACITYHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN HEALTHHUMAN RIGHTSHUMAN SETTLEMENTHUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCEINCIDENCE OF POVERTYINCOME-GENERATING ACTIVITIESINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION SYSTEMSINTERNATIONAL CONVENTIONSLACK OF COMMUNICATIONLAKESLAND OWNERSHIPLAND USELEGAL STATUSLIVING CONDITIONSLOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL COMMUNITIESLOCAL DEVELOPMENTLOCAL POPULATIONMALARIAMENINGITISMETEOROLOGYMIGRATIONMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMULTILATERAL ORGANIZATIONSNATIONAL ACTIONNATIONAL ACTION PLANNATIONAL CAPACITIESNATIONAL CAPACITYNATIONAL COUNCILNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTNATIONAL EMERGENCYNATIONAL LEVELNATIONAL PLANNATIONAL PLAN OF ACTIONNATIONAL POLICIESNATIONAL POLICYNATIONAL PRIORITYNATIONAL SECURITYNATIONAL STRATEGIESNATIONAL STRATEGYNATURAL DISASTERNATURAL DISASTERSNATURAL HAZARDSNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTNATURAL RESOURCESNEGATIVE IMPACTNUMBER OF DEATHSOPINION LEADERSOUTBREAKOUTBREAKSOVERGRAZINGPARTICIPATION OF WOMENPARTICIPATORY PROCESSPILOT PROJECTSPOLICY INSTRUMENTSPOLLUTIONPOPULATION GROWTHPOSTERSPRECIPITATIONPROGRESSRADIORECONSTRUCTIONREDUCING EMISSIONSRELIEF ORGANIZATIONRESEARCH ORGANIZATIONSRICE PRODUCTIONRISK ASSESSMENTRISK FACTORSRISK MANAGEMENTRURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL POPULATIONSSAFETYSANITATIONSCIENTIFIC RESEARCHSEGMENTS OF SOCIETYSOCIAL ACTIONSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURESOCIOECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTSOIL DEGRADATIONSPECIESSTRATEGIC PRIORITIESSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT POLICIESSUSTAINABLE FORESTSUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENTSUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENTTECHNICAL CAPACITIESTECHNICAL CAPACITYTECHNICAL TRAININGTEMPERATURETHEORETICAL MODELSTROPICAL FORESTSTYPE OF DISASTERUNEPURBAN AREASURBAN DEVELOPMENTVICTIMSVULNERABILITYVULNERABLE GROUPSWATER CYCLEWATER MANAGEMENTWATER POLLUTIONWATER RESOURCESWATER SHORTAGEWEATHER CONDITIONSWINDWIND SPEEDWIND STORMSWorld Bank10.1596/2752
