In these countires, climate change will include changes in temperature, distribution of rainfall, sea-level rise and incrase in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. These least developed countires are at risk because of their high vulnerability and low adaptive capacity. Weak economies, inadequate infrastructure, poor social development, lack of institutional capacity and high dependence on natural resources all contribute to this vulnerability.

It is dependent on the availability of renewable energy, remoteness and isolation of rural households where grid electricity will not be available in the near future, socio-economic ...
