The SEACAP consists of three pillars that underpin the entire SEACAP document. They are the core components for African cities to address.
The three pillars are:

What is climate change mitigation?
Mitigation means: Reducing or stabilising the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that are being released into the atmosphere.
Steps in the SEACAP mitigation pillar:
- Baseline Emissions Inventory (BEI)
- Mitigation target setting
- Mitigation action planning
Adapting to climate change is a relatively new topic for most cities and increasing their resilience to climate change impacts is an urgent challenge. The sub-Saharan region is particularly vulnerable to climate change impacts.
What is climate change adaptation?
Adaptation means: Responding to the impacts of climate change that are already anticipated to occur due to the elevated GHG emissions in the atmosphere.
What is resilience?
Resilience refers to the capacity of social, economic and environmental systems to cope with a hazardous event or trend or disturbance, responding or reorganising in ways that maintain their essential function, identity and structure, while also maintaining the capacity for adaptation, learning and transformation.
Steps in the SEACAP adaptation pillar:
- Risk & Vulnerability Assessment (RVA)
- Adaptation target setting
- Adaptation action planning
What is access to energy?
Access to energy means: A household having reliable and affordable access to both clean cooking facilities and to electricity, which is enough to supply a basic bundle of energy services initially, and then an increasing level of electricity over time, to reach the regional average.
Steps in the SEACAP access to energy pillar:
- Access to Energy Assessment (AEA)
- Energy target setting
- Energy action planning
