Adapting to Climate Change for Achieving Sustainable Development in Algeria: Strategies and Challenges

Abstract

Achieving sustainable development while addressing the impacts of climate change represents one of the most pressing challenges facing countries worldwide. These challenges are closely linked to the availability of adequate financing, institutional and human capacities, as well as a robust legislative and regulatory framework, alongside raising awareness of the dimensions of sustainable development. In its pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals, Algeria has developed several strategies aimed at adapting to climate change. However, the country continues to face numerous obstacles that may undermine its ability to effectively confront the adverse effects of climate change. This situation necessitates the search for practical and effective solutions to equip Algeria with the necessary tools and measures. Such solutions could be achieved through the conclusion of global agreements that serve as roadmaps to strengthen national capacities in addressing climate change impacts, or at the very least, to support the country’s adaptation efforts in the coming years.
