Coastal Resources

The objective of this government project is to improve adaptability to sea level rise in two vulnerable points (Tumaco-Pacific coast and Cartagena-Caribbean coast) in the Colombian coastal areas.

The principal objective of this IUCN project is to create enabling conditions in Bangladesh for promoting adaptation to climate change and climate variability in national policies and plans and also at the local community level. This includes preparing a set of recommendations to integrate climate change adaptation into various national actions, with a special focus on issues related to coastal zone management.  These recommendations will complement the National Adaptation Plan of Action (NAPA). A network of key stakeholders at the national level will be established.

In this project, led by SouthSouthNorth and Caritas, different types of capacity-building activities including learning-by-doing type activities are implemented to enhance adaptive capacity of the targeted communities. Capacity building will target the areas of agriculture, fisheries and aquaculture, alternative livelihoods development and small entrepreneurship, access to safe water, and disaster risk reduction.
