Abstract
The consequences of the climate change led in many countries of Africa to irreversible dam-ages to the citizens, animals and nature, and as such; creating particularly negative conse-quences for the food security in these countries. All Central African countries signed and rati-fied the UN- Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol. However these states are within the registered CDM projects underrepresented with scarcely zero projects. Since Cameroon could register a CDM project only in 2010 after four years of efforts, simple, as well as more efficient administrative structures must be developed. This work analyzed the perceptions, estimates and attitudes of the climate policy actors in Cameroon on the basis of field work by participating observations, interviews from experts, evaluation of development reports as well as budgets, in order to be able to react optimally to the national, regional and international causes and consequences of the climate change. According to the respondent, climate policy measures can contribute to the social and economic development in Cameroon. But also, different conflicting goals between the individual advantages of climate policy measures, particularly in the area of conflict between mitigation and adaptation, as well as between economic and social benefits are possible. This work could indicate that, theoretical conditions were created to a large extent for climate policy measures to be operational in Ca-meroon. The institutional, financial and organizational components are in contrast in different stages of a slow implementation process. The climate policy in Cameroon did not develop as one of the most important aspects of the national environmental policy and development strat-egy. An active participation in the international process to climate protection and for the adap-tation to the consequences of the climate change could be seen as the main driving force for the development of climate policy. Climate policy goals are to be specified, and different Strategies for operational measures should be developed.
