coastal flooding

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 Government of Nicaragua, with support from the World Bank, is addressing the climate resilience of its coasts and inland water and land resources in the project Adaptation of Water Supplies to Climate Change. The project’s objective is to pilot water resources protection and drinking water supply systems with an integrated and participatory approach in selected climate vulnerable communities in Nicaragua.
