We would like to extend our gratitude to the many individuals and organizations that have contributed to the planning and execution of the process that has resulted in the publication of this volume. [...] Building on their previous expertise, in 2023, the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP) and Save the Children initiated a project to identify and disseminate case stud- ies of health adaptation solutions in response to the diverse climate change pathways of risk from around the world. [...] The presence of a ‘mound formation’ inside the water table of the ASR system, in comparison to the surrounding ambient observation wells, suggested the occurrence of surface/rainwater percolation (movement through the soil) and subsequent re- charge of groundwater. [...] The health component of the NAP aimed to protect the population in general, and the most vulnerable people in particular, from climate change threats. [...] 50 Climate and Health: Science-based policy solutions LESSONS FROM THE FORMULATION OF A NATIONAL ADAPTATION PLAN Methods The goal of the assessment was to analyse the actors involved in the Benin NAP as well as its context, content and process.
