Abstract:
The project KSIDS adopted as basic methodology the engagement of the main actors / agents in the research activities. To start the engagement of agents, the technical team Sol & Vento decided to organize a launch event in the city of Mindelo. The event, open to general public's main objective was to present the team and project objectives. Besides, it was an opportunity to evaluate the impact and interest of Mindelo population and key institutions in climate change. The choice of format proved to be adequate and provided a long discussion and exchanges. The debate that followed the presentation of the project participants highlighted the link with the policy makers and the Board Municipality of San Vicente in particular as the main concern and a factor for success / failure of the project. In Overall, the groups agreed on the identification of hazards (floods, haze, rising sea level), vulnerable areas (downtown, coastal zones) and main responsibility (Municipality of San Vicente, civil society).
