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 project has been restructured to include nature-based solutions, which aligns with their NDC ambitions. They will use NBS relating to forests, conservation, and other to meet PDO. The work will be implemented by the National Disaster Risk Management Fund. It will also have community resilience component.
The Government of Poland has requested funding to increase access to flood protection for people living in selected areas of the Odra River and the Upper Vistula River basins and to strengthen the institutional capacity of the Borrower to mitigate the impact of floods more effectively. The large-scale project will improve flood protection through selected structural gray measures, as well as green measures, institutional strengthening and enhance forecasting. Green measures will include opening space for the river to inundate the natural floodplain, while also diminishing flood velocities.
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 Government of Nigeria, through the Ministry of Environment, state and local governments, is implementing this project to reduce the vulnerability to soil erosion in targeted sub-watersheds. The multi-sectoral project will finance interventions to prevent and reverse land degradation on a demand-driven basis, initially focusing on gully erosion sites in southeastern states that threaten infrastructure and livelihoods.
The project used the restoration of vegetative cover and sustainable management of watersheds to reduce erosion and disaster risks.
The objective of the Disaster Risk Management and Urban Development Project for the Republic of Niger is to improve the country's resilience to natural hazards.
The objective of the project “Natural Resource Management in a Changing Climate in Mali” is to expand the adoption of sustainable land and water management (SLWM) practices in climate vulnerable targeted communes in Mali. The Government of Mali aims to achieve this through the implementation of capacity building, biodiversity conservation, and support to poverty reduction activities applying an ecosystem-based adaptation approach. This approach will enable project beneficiaries in 14 communities across three provinces to adapt to climate change and ultimately to increase their resilience.
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.
