climate adaptation or resilience

The project interventions will introduce the integrated watershed and landscape management approach, and facilitate the adoption of sustainable land and water management techniques and practices. The proposed interventions will increase the overall resilience of the communities to climate-related shocks. The project will have land-management options that enhance carbon sequestration and, concurrently, prevent erosion and land degradation.

The project will be doing a feasibility study to propose nature-based solutions, and could include 2.5-3.5 km of hybrid coastal work.

The project increased the afforested/reforested areas through participatory forestry and co-management approach in the degraded forestland, marginal, fallow and newly accreted land in coastal and hilly areas. This included the use of mangroves and other species. The project also used alternative livelihoods and capacity building to support the work.

The project focuses mostly on the use of terracing and protection of natural areas to reduce land degradation and provision associated benefits, such as flood risk reduction, erion control.

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 project worked to fund community-led development projects, and build capacity for improved land management practices.
