Abstract
The National Strategy for Climate Change 2018-2030 (ENAC 2018-2030) aims at achieving Angola adapted to the impacts of climate change and with a low carbon development which also contributes to the eradication of poverty. The objective of the ENAC 2018-2030 states: the Government of Angola recognizes the country's vulnerability to climate change and is aware of the impacts that the country has been suffering and the tendency for them to worsen. Floods, droughts, soil erosion and rising sea levels are identified as the main effects of climate change in the country. The country has registered, among other effects, recurrent cycles of droughts and floods that have been affecting the different regions of the country in a different way. ENAC intends to respond to the challenges posed by the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda, and establish the vision of Angolan national policy on the 2030 horizon, taking into account the need to articulate Angolan policy in terms of mitigation and adaptation to the impacts of climate change. ENAC will give rise to the development of the National Emissions Plan (PNE) and the National Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change (PNAAC).
The Angola National Adaptation Action Programme (PANA), submitted to the UNFCCC in 2011, identifies agriculture and food security, forestry and biodiversity, fisheries, water resources, human health, infrastructure, coastal areas and energy as the main sectors affected by climate change. The same document identifies that the main threats and expected impacts of climate change are floods, droughts, soil erosion and rising sea levels. The ENAC 2018-2030 arises from the need to articulate objectives, instruments and institutions in the pursuit of the most recent challenges that the country is facing, both in terms of its economy and the improvement of conditions of the population, as well as in terms of the most recent global climatic events, resulting from the Paris Agreement2 and the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda. In response to the challenges posed by these, ENAC establishes the vision of Angolan national policy on the horizon 2030, taking into account the need to articulate Angolan policy in terms of mitigation and adaptation to the impacts of climate change. Angola's ENAC is part of the UN resolution on the creation of a new 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, such as: 1. Eradicating poverty; 2. Achieve food security, improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture; 5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls, etc.

Notes
ENAC 2018-2030 intends to replace the first strategy for climate change 2007-2012 (“National Strategy for the Implementation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol”, Ministry of Urbanism and Environment, 2007), which it is outdated due to the remarkable growth of the economy in the last decade and the change in the international and national climate scenario.
