The impacts of global climate change in Tanzania are likely to be devastating as reports show that between 12 and 26 million people in the world will be displaced from coastal areas in the future.

The purpose of the celebration was to raise awareness on sustainable environmental management among decision makers at national, regional and continental levels, highlighting climate change as the main factor leading to land degradation and desertification, hunger, deprivation, poverty and underdevelopment in Africa.

The use and development of alternative sources of energy are increasingly encouraged in western countries, and private and public sources of financial support for biofuels development have increased greatly.

Introduction

This is a report of the Citizens Global Platform (CGP) Tanzania educational workshop on Climate Change. The workshop brought together regional stakeholders (national organizations, community groups and development partners) from diverse backgrounds. The aim of the workshop was create awareness and share tools for climate change advocacy.

This map was conducted using ten regions of Tanzania as sample regions, therefore, the list of actors does not show all the available actors, but rather illustrates the groups and nature of climate change actors that can be found in different levels.

This is a report of a study undertaken by Citizens Global Platform (CGP) in Tanzania on the marginalized voices on climate change policy processes. Similar studies have been carried out in Brazil, Finland and India. The reports from the four countries will be compiled together to give an international perspective to the challenges and proposals on the subject under study

In a first study of its kind in East Africa, published by the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), the researchers stress that time is running out for Tanzania to adapt.

The researchers predict that impacts of climate change in Tanzania's agriculture sector will reduce the nation's total GDP by 0.6-1 per cent by 2030.

This report examines the governance of biodiversity - how it is managed and how decisions about it are made - at local, national and international level. It reviews experience with community-based conservation, mainstreaming biodiversity, and the Biodiversity Convention process, and includes case studies from India, Peru and Tanzania. It also recommends ways to improve the governance of biodiversity to deliver more benefits to people and planet.
