Guinea

The objective of this document is to enable the emergence of a prosperous country, master of its own destiny, ensuring a high level of wellbeing for its populations and guaranteeing the future of future generations. Objective 5.3 centralises on the fight against climate change and the preservation of the environment.

This document sets out Guinea's vision and objectives for action on climate change, concerning both mitigation and adaptation.The strategy is centred around 9 strategic axes:1. Promotion of measures to reinforce climate resilience2. Promotion of sectoral measures to limit greenhouse gas emissions3. Capacity building4. Promotion of technology transfer and adoption 5. Integrating climate change into policies and strategies6. Education and communication7. reinforcing Guinea's meterological services8. Risk reduction and management, including immigration9. Promotion of access to climate financeThe strategy proposes numerous actions and measures to support its overall objectives.

This document sets out Guinea's development strategy. Axis five of the strategy is focused on the energy transition but it also contains a number of other climate related goals: Objective 1.6 To develop sustainable finance This includes a section on developing climate finance mechanisms Objective 2.3 To make quality water available for all and promote its sustainable use This includes a section on ensuring the water supply is adapted to the effects of climate change Objective 3.6 To improve the resilience of the agricultural sector to climate change By 2040 70% of farmers will have put in place adaptation actions Objective 4.4 To combat the degradation of natural resources and restore degraded forests and vegetation cover By 2040, 40% of the territory should be forested Objective 5.1 To reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote energy efficiency and domestic sustainable energy By 2040, 70% of rural households use improved cook stoves Objective 5.2 Promote renewable energy By 2040 the level of renewable energy in the energy mix will pass between 22% and 44% &nbsp;Objective 5.3 Promote the electrification of rural areas and combat energy poverty&nbsp;

The 2016-2020 National Economic and Social Development Plan (PNDES) constitutes the second generation of plan. It aims to operationalise over the period 2016-2020, the Vision of an emerging and prosperous Guinea by 2040.&nbsp;

This document notably 1) sets adaptation to climate change as a prominent goal, 2) promotes research in areas related to climate change, biological diversity and the fight against desertification, particularly in sectors related to agrofuels, non-wood forest products and forestry, and 3) promotes measures towards soil restoration and carbon sequestration.

This law sets out institutional arrangements, objectives and principles for the management of the environment in Guinea. Title 6 makes specific provisions regarding climate change. It imposes an obligation on the state to take action to limit climate change and its impacts through the creation of a National Adaptation strategy and the promotion of measures relating to renewable energy and energy efficiency.

The Forest Code, enshrined into law by the ordinary law L/2017/060/AN, provides to the national forests a status of national interest (art. 2). Their protection and sustainable management must therefore be ensured.

Art. 14 states that the Forestry Administration is responsible for implementing any measures necessary for the protection, sustainable development of Guinean forests and trees outside forests, the conservation of plant diversity, the mitigation of the impacts of climate change and the certification of forest products harvested.

Art. 21 mentions that areas stabilising water regimes and the climate can be classified as forests, or enjoy similar legal status.

Art. 46 states that in order to estimating the carbon stored in forest ecosystems and woodlands as part of the mitigation of climate change impacts, as well as for wood energy assessment, the inventory of plant biomass is the responsibility of the owner of the forest, under the control of the Administration in charge of Forests.

Art. 115 grants the Forestry Administration the power of prescribing protective measures to be taken in forest lands where they are required, notably to curb GHG emissions.
