Enhancing the climate resilience of Africa's infrastructure : the power and water sectors

摘要: Africa has experienced economic growth of more than 5 percent per annum during the past decade, but to sustain this growth, investment in infrastructure is fundamental. Much these investments will support construction long-lived (for example, dams, power stations, and irrigation canals), which be vulnerable potentially harsher climate future. This book first use a consistent approach across river basins systems Africa, including comprehensive, broad set state-of-the-art projections evaluate risks posed by change planned Africa’s water, sectors. It further analyzes how plans can modified mitigate those risks, it quantifies corresponding benefits costs, within limits largely desk-based assessment. The scope study includes seven major (Congo, Niger, Nile, Senegal, Upper Orange, Volta, Zambezi) four pools (Central, Eastern, Southern, West African). addresses entire program for development (PIDA) hydropower capacity enhancements subject basins, as part region’s overall generation plans, well additional that are included regional national master plans.
