Within the framework of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Burundi has already made a lot of efforts at the political, strategic and institutional levels. But it is clear that the issues related to meteorological knowledge and information systems to develop good forecasts and early warning are not clearly addressed.

The National Communication Strategy on Climate Change Adaptation and Early Warning is therefore timely to make its contributions in order to improve:

• knowledge on the concept of climate change and its impacts on various socio-economic sectors for decision-makers, elected officials, Civil Society Organizations, Media and Populations
• the fluidity of existing meteorological information from producers (IGEBUMEEATU) to users who are the National Platform for the Prevention and Management of Risks and Disasters (PNPGRC), the Media, sectoral ministries, sectoral ministries, civil society organizations and populations;
• the system of awareness-raising and awareness-raising among the general public, political decision-makers, political decision-makers, elected officials, centralized and decentralized public administrations, local authorities, civil society organizations and populations on climate change;
• the system for monitoring and intersectoral coordination on climate change with particular emphasis on awareness-raising, awareness-raising and early warning and the implementation of climate change adaptation measures;
• strengthening the operational capacities of the National Platform on Risk and Disaster Prevention and Management (PNPGRC) and its local branches;
• the functionality of the network of journalists and media on climate change.
