such as flooding, drought, coastal erosion, deforestation and biodiversity loss etc. are natural phenomena aggravated by human activities including the emission of green house gases. Damage and losses from such disasters are however the consequence of human
action. The National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA) for Sierra Leone has been
prepared by the Ministry of Transport and Aviation (MTA), as a response to the decision
of the Seventh Session of the Conference of the Parties (COP7) of the United Nations
Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The preparation process has
followed the generic guiding principles outlined in the NAPA annotated Guideline
according to the project coordinator. The whole preparation process was guided by the
high powered Project Steering Committee headed by the Chairman, Director of the
Environment, of the Ministry of Lands, Country Planning and the Environment. The
basic approach to NAPA preparation was in consonance with the sustainable
development goals and objectives of the country where it has recognized the necessity of addressing environmental issues and natural resource management with the participation of stakeholders.
