Rwandan Permanent Secretary for Environment Fidèle Bingwa called for the development of resilience amidst the effects of climate change at the opening of the 74th Greater Horn of Africa Climate Outlook Forum in Kigali. He emphasized the importance of effective communication of climate forecasts, as it allows for anticipatory action and early preparedness, enabling governments to build essential resilience.
Bingwa highlighted the theme of GHACOF 74, "Harnessing climate services for early action and resilience in the greater Horn of Africa in the face of a strong El Nino," as particularly relevant, as the region anticipates above-average rainfall during the October to December short rains season. He urged climate scientists to furnish actionable information that fosters resilient livelihoods and economies, aiming to help communities and countries adapt to the impacts of climate change.
Bingwa urged forecasters to provide information that communities can utilize to enhance their lives and develop the technical knowledge necessary to react to extreme weather events.
