The Republic of the Marshall Islands Urban Resilience Project aims to strengthen the resilience of select urban areas to natural hazards and climate change. Key activities include risk-informed adaptation planning, coastal resilience investments, and resilient public facility standards, supported by Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) like mangrove restoration and vegetated buffer zones. The project enhances institutional capacity for sustainable adaptation beyond its closure.

The Northern Mozambique Rural Resilience Project aims to improve access to livelihoods and strengthen natural resource management in rural areas of Northern Mozambique. The project includes mangrove restoration and coastal vegetation initiatives in Nampula and Cabo Delgado to stabilize coastlines, reduce erosion, and support fish spawning areas, alongside efforts to promote sustainable agriculture, fisheries, and community-driven development.

The N’Djamena Urban Resilience Project aims to reduce flood risk and strengthen climate-resilient urban planning and flood-related services in N’Djamena. The project implements green and gray infrastructure measures, including rain gardens, green corridors, and rehabilitation of urban wetlands to mitigate flood risks and enhance urban resilience. Key components focus on flood protection, climate-resilient urban planning, and community disaster preparedness.

The Mozambique Social Protection Project aims to provide temporary income support to extremely poor households and establish the foundation of a social safety net system. Key components include institutional strengthening for the implementation of the national basic social security strategy and labor-intensive public works programs in rural and urban areas.

The Mangroves for Coastal Resilience Project aims to enhance the resilience of coastal ecosystems and communities by restoring and conserving mangroves. The project includes components for mangrove afforestation, supporting sustainable livelihoods, and strengthening integrated coastal management. These efforts reduce disaster risk, mitigate coastal flooding, and protect biodiversity.

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.

The objective of the project designed by the Government of Belize was to implement priority ecosystem-based marine conservation and climate adaptation measures to strengthen the climate resilience of the Belize Barrier Reef System.

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.
