The objective of this pilot-scale project is to 1) to strengthen the institutional capacity of the Ministry of Housing and Environment and local councils in planning and demonstration of community based wetland management, and 2) to implement a coral reef monitoring system. The Government of the Maldives will achieve this through the components Wetland Conservation and Water Resources Management, Coral Reef Monitoring and supporting project management, financed under the multi-donor Climate Change Trust Fund.

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 objectives are to enhance tools for climate-smart planning and improve climate resilience of land and water management practices in selected provinces of the Mekong Delta in Vietnam.

Combined, the engineered and nature-based measures (mangroves) have protected 1.37 kilometers of coastline (above the baseline) for a total of 1.87 kilometers28, exceeding both the revised PDO-level target of 1.2 kilometers and the original target of 1.6 kilometers. Community-based mangrove management plans have been prepared and adopted under the village development committees and are being implemented to ensure the sustainability of the coastal protection measures on the outer islands. Mangrove as NBS also noted as protecting water suplies from saltwater instrusion.

The objective of the Kiribati Adaptaion Program was to improve the resilience of Kiribati to the impacts of climate change on freshwater supply and coastal infrastructure. The project's engineered and nature-based measures (mangroves) have together protected 1.37 kilometers of coastline (above the baseline) for a total of 1.87 kilometers. School visits, teachers and students took care of mangroves used. Community-based mangrove management plans have also been prepared and adopted under the village development committees and are being implemented to ensure the sustai

The Government of Jamaica has requested financing the Disaster Vulnerability Reduction Project with the objective to enhance Jamaica’s resilience to disaster and climate risk. The proposed project will finance four components: 1) technical assistance for improved disaster and climate resilience, including ecosystem-based analyses; 2) risk reduction through structural mitigation measures such as retrofitting or construction of key assets; 3) contingent emergency response; and 4) project management.

The project development objective is to improve coastal forest management in the project provinces.

A variety of sub-projects were financed that included coastal ecosystem restoration, which included coral reefs.

The Government of Samoa is planning to increase the resilience of coastal communities to climate variability and change. The project will develop and implement activities to: (a) assist the Government of Samoa in adapting to climate change; (b) protect people’s lives and livelihoods, coastal and inland infrastructure, and the environment; and (c) increase awareness of climate change impacts and adaptation activities in communities, civil society, and local government.

The project is quite comprehensive, involving capacity building that supports coastal management, and the implementation of coastal protection and green infrastracture. This will include restoration and rehabilitation of coral, wetlands, and sea grass
