coastal erosion

The objective of the assistance delivered to Indonesia and the Philippines under the project Capturing Coral Reef Ecosystem Services was to design and support the uptake of innovative models for valuing mangrove, seagrass, and coral reef ecosystem services with the potential to enhance the sustainability of marine-based enterprise and marine spatial planning in select coastal communities in Indonesia and the Philippines.

Recovery of public and private infrastructure and livelihoods to streng then climate resilience in the areas most affected by Cyclones Idai and Kenneth and to provide immediate and effective response to an eligible crisis or emergency (there will be restoration of dunes and beach).

The project will promote green infrastructure technologies for seafood production that support broader ecosystem services and coastal defenses, such as mangrove rehabilitation, sea grass, and oyster beds. Importantly, the design of coastal infrastructure will aim to optimize adaptation benefits and avoid maladaptation, including by linking fish habitat restoration to nature‐based coastal protection solutions and ensuring climate‐resilient value chain infrastructure development.

The objectives of the Andhra Pradesh Disaster Recovery Project are to restore, improve, and enhance resilience of public services, environmental facilities, and livelihoods in targeted communities in the State of Andra Pradesh, India. To this end, the Government of India, the State of Andhra Pradesh and the World Bank have designed an integrated project with seven components that includes restoring mangroves to improve coastal resilience, which act as a "shelter belt", and beachfront restoration.
