urban flooding

The project will use green infrastructure, such as green roofs and green spaces to reduce energy consumption, but also reduce flooding.

This component aimed at empowering municipalities, residents, and community groups to actively engage in urban flood risk reduction measures and adaptation to climate change through piloting the development and implementation of participatory urban community investments and an awareness raising and communication campaign. It supported the participation of community members in urban flood risk management and small-scale pilot investments aimed at the rehabilitation and maintenance of natural or artificial retention basins and/or urban wetlands allowing for natural runoff.

The Government of Senegal, in coordination with sector ministries and municipalities, implemented this project to improve stormwater drainage and flood prevention in peri-urban Dakar. The project consists of three main topical components, ranging from flood risk mainstreaming in the urban sector, drainage investment and management, to community engagement in urban flood-risk reduction and adaptation to climate change. The program and the national strategy to be developed here will include both structural and non-structural measures.

The project finances nature-based solutions to revitalize selected protected areas of ecological significance to the Western Balkans. Also include includes forestry management in Vrbanja, Vrbas, and the Sava River Basin, which will mitigate the threat of drought.

The grant supports Panama City in developing a concept plan for urban and coastal resilience, articulating a comprehensive strategy of public investments and infrastructure financing, aiming to strengthen urban resilience.

The Government of China has set aside funds to implement the concept of new urbanization and support Ningbo as one of the pilot municipalities in promoting inclusive cities for low-income people and migrant workers. Specifically, the objective of the Ningbo Sustainable Urbanization Project is to improve the use of urban public space, improve urban mobility, and reduce flood risk in selected counties in Ningbo Municipality. This is to be achieved through the components 1) Urban Regeneration, 2) Urban Transport, 3) Flood Risk Management, and 4) Technical Assistance and Capacity Building.

The project uses greening and bio-engineering approaches to restoring roads and making them climate resilient

The objective of the Government of Myanmar’s Flood and Landslide Emergency Recovery Project is to support the recovery in priority areas affected by the 2015 floods and landslides and to provide immediate and effective response in potential future eligible crises. The project components will include the climate-resilient rehabilitation of national and rural roads and the provision of eligible goods.

The project's objective is to support the Government of Sri Lanka in reducing the flooding in the catchment of the Colombo Water Basin, and strengthen the capacity of local authorities in the Colombo Metropolitan Area to rehabilitate, improve and maintain local infrastructure and services through selected demonstration investments. The project protected and provided some restoration to the city wetlands as a nature-based solution, allowing them to serve as flood rentention and recreational areas.

The project will dekiver road rehabilitation and new road works and pavements using weather resistant paving material to withstand extreme weather events, introducing the use of green and nature-based infrastructure to mitigate floods and, when necessary, constructing wider drains and culverts to accommodate heavy precipitation, undertaking slope stabilization to protect against climate risks.
