which include medium- and long-term strategies to boost national adaptability to climate change and strengthen resilience to climate challenges. Kuwait is not an exception because, like other nations around the world, it is impacted by climate change, particularly in vital and environmental sectors like human health, coastal areas, water resources, marine environments, and fisheries. .
A variety of natural hazards are brought on by climate change in dry areas as a result of the sequential interactions between humans, the environment, and climate change. Where adaptation to climate change necessitates the involvement of all stakeholders in the planning and execution of numerous initiatives, including those related to water, coastal areas, the marine environment, human health, and others
As a result, in order to put into action the programs that have been proposed to adapt to climate change and lessen the negative effects of socio-economic issues, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will seek technical assistance from international organizations, the business community, and other stakeholders. For the benefit of present and future generations, I hope that this plan will serve as a cornerstone of the policy framework for decreasing the risks posed by climate change and continuously increasing resilience to it.
The Environment Public Authority (EPA) has developed The National Adaptation Plan as a result of the State of Kuwait's commitment to environmental preservation. Additionally, the key sectors' primary material risks were identified.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to all of the experts and national institutions, both local and international, who have collaborated in a participatory manner to create an action plan that meets the actual requirements of the Kuwaiti State and the local environment. At the same time, the EPA will continue to play a role in coordinating and supervising the various activities and initiatives that aim to achieve the desired goal of reducing the negative effects of climate change and adopting with it.
