ATCLIMA Project Details
The project ATCLIMA It is defined as a "dynamic system of corporate advisory services for the development of high-impact infrastructure and public services in the fight against climate change and for environmental resilience." Its main objective is to improve the capacity of public administrations to address environmental and climate challenges through innovative solutions from the private sector.

The work will focus on strategic sectors in Senegal, such as sustainable tourism, urbanism, the dwelling and coastal management, and will be carried out in three phases:
-
1 phase: Systematization of an operating protocol and creation of practical tools.
-
2 phase: Adaptation of this protocol to Senegal's priority issues.
-
3 phase: Implementation of technical assistance, where Canarian and Senegalese companies will collaborate with the administrations to co-design solutions.
These solutions will be validated and integrated into local policies, which, according to project leaders, will generate sustainable changes and strengthen territorial cooperation between Africa and Europe.
