LESSONS LEARNT
Climate Change must be made relevant to people
Planning for climate change must be participatory – often people on the ground can tell you more about the changing climate and its impacts better than any technical study
Take a sector approach – it will be easier to define practical actions
Actions MUST fit within a larger integrated strategy – the Regional Development Plan
