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 Government of Mozambique has obtained funding for the Mozambique Cities and Climate Change Project from the Strategic Climate Fund with the objective to increase the resilience of the city of Beira to floods by improving and safeguarding the natural drainage capacity of the Chiveve river. The city of Beira is considered to be the most exposed to current and future climate risks in Mozambique, with rising sea levels and severe erosion taking place along its coastline adjacent.
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.
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 worked to fund community-led development projects, and build capacity for improved land management practices.
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.
The project's objective is to improve the livelihoods of rural households and the sustainability of natural resources in the program area. The project is part of the wider landscape management program, which will aim to integrate rural households into sustainable agriculture and forest-based value chains in the provinces of Nampula and Zambezia.
