Disastrous weather extremes and slow-onsets due to climate change and variabilities in Tanzania are vibrant and

posing serious loss and damage to economy and life supporting systems. The coastal areas are the most vulnerable

and experiencing highest damages compared to other parts of the country. Central sectors for economic

development and poverty reduction such as water, energy, agriculture, natural capital (ecosystems and biological

diversities), and infrastructures are already suffering terrible loss and damage which might decelerate the country’s

move to achievement of sustainable development goals. Integrated short, medium, and long-term actions by the

government and partners are imperative to realize the vision 2025 objectives before the loss and damage is

irreversible.
