# The African Development Bank and the Union of Economic and Social Councils and Similar Institutions of Africa have launched national advocacy papers urging inclusive climate governance in West Africa. This comes as climate change is hitting the West African region, with Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast and Senegal among the most vulnerable globally. These reports highlight the need for citizen-driven solutions, and call for stronger roles for economic and social councils in shaping national policy. The initiative aims to build local resilience and promote sustainable development across the Sahel biogeographical region.
