Investments will include a variety of green infrastructure measures, sustainable and climate-smart agricultural practices, and livelihoods diversification. Green infrastructure will be designed in conjunction with gray infrastructure to optimize the functionality, cost-effectiveness, and resilience of the integrated natural and built system.
The project pilots new techniques including eco/ bio-engineering solutions for erosion stability such as the use of vegetation to protect embankments from scouring.
The project will use green roofs for public buildings to reduce urban heat island effect.
The project has been restructured to include nature-based solutions, which aligns with their NDC ambitions. They will use NBS relating to forests, conservation, and other to meet PDO. The work will be implemented by the National Disaster Risk Management Fund. It will also have community resilience component.
The Government of China has set aside funds to implement the concept of new urbanization and support Ningbo as one of the pilot municipalities in promoting inclusive cities for low-income people and migrant workers. Specifically, the objective of the Ningbo Sustainable Urbanization Project is to improve the use of urban public space, improve urban mobility, and reduce flood risk in selected counties in Ningbo Municipality. This is to be achieved through the components 1) Urban Regeneration, 2) Urban Transport, 3) Flood Risk Management, and 4) Technical Assistance and Capacity Building.
The objective of the project “Natural Resource Management in a Changing Climate in Mali” is to expand the adoption of sustainable land and water management (SLWM) practices in climate vulnerable targeted communes in Mali. The Government of Mali aims to achieve this through the implementation of capacity building, biodiversity conservation, and support to poverty reduction activities applying an ecosystem-based adaptation approach. This approach will enable project beneficiaries in 14 communities across three provinces to adapt to climate change and ultimately to increase their resilience.
This project implemented by the Government of Rwanda was to demonstrate landscape management for enhanced environmental services and climate resilience in one priority landscape. Specifically, the project restored the highly degraded Gishwati-Mukura landscape, enhancing both productive and environmental values.
As part of the village preparedness program, the project will support communities in developing a mitigation and preparedness action plan that include nature-based measures.
The project's development and global environment objective is to reduce land degradation and improve land productivity in selected watersheds in targeted regions in Ethiopia. The project implemented sustainable land management (SLM) and afforestation to remedy gullies and erosion damage, while also increasing capacity for adoption of climate-smart techniques.
The objective of the Environmental Land Management and Rural Livelihoods Project for Tajikistan was to enable rural people to increase their productive assets in ways that improve natural resource management and resilience to climate change in selected climate vulnerable sites. The project resulted in 44,235 hectares of land with sustainable land management (SLM).
