For decades, the region’s natural resources have been managed unsustainably, leading to land degradation and, now, exacerbated by the effects of climate change. The Building a Resilient Churia Region in Nepal (BRCRN) project aims to confront these challenges by enhancing the resilience of ecosystems and vulnerable communities in Nepal’s Churia region. It will promote widespread adoption of climate-resilient land use practices, confront the challenges of deforestation and forest degradation, better maintain the forest ecosystem in the Churia hills, and build resilience to climate-induced hazards. It will also build the capacities of governments, communities and other stakeholders to better understand and respond to climate risks and scale up much needed support after project closure. The project is conceived as a direct contribution to Nepal´s nationally determined contribution (NDC). It will intervene at three levels to catalyze change in the way land, forests and other natural resources are managed and set in motion a sectoral transformation from a climate-vulnerable to a climate-resilient, lower-emissions and sustainable development pathway for the Churia region | https://www.greenclimate.fund/project/fp118 |

During its project lifespan, Bhutan for Life is projected to increase forest carbon sequestration by 35.1 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions. As well as employing staff to protect these areas, the financing will be used to promote renewable energy generation using biogas and household solar to remove the need for local people to use firewood. The project’s adaptation measures will focus on encouraging local communities to manage natural resources sustainably, including the protection of ten critical watersheds, restoring wildlife habitats to reduce climate impacts, and strengthening enforcement to prevent illegal logging. These measures will also help local farmers improve their ability to adapt and deal with the variability of freshwater supplies. | https://www.greenclimate.fund/sites/default/files/document/funding-proposal-fp050-wwf-bhutan.pdf |

The long term objective is to increase the resilience of the entire coastal population to tidal flooding and natural disasters by upgrading the whole embankment system. With an existing network of embankment of nearly 6,000 km long with 139 polders, the magnitude of such a project is enormous. Hence a multi-phased approached will be adopted over a period of 15 to 20 years. The proposed CEIP-I1 is the first phase of this long term program. The overall project development objective is to increase the resilience of coastal population to natural disasters and climate change. More specifically, the project aims at (a) reducing the loss of life, assets, crops and livestock during natural disasters; (b) reducing the time of recovery after natural disaster such as cyclone; and (c) improving agricultural production by reducing saline water intrusion which is expected to worsen due climate change. This objective will be achieved by rehabilitating and improving the polder system in the coastal area. | https://projects.worldbank.org/en/projects-operations/project-detail/P128276 (website) https://documents.worldbank.org/en/publication/documents-reports/documentdetail/929971468743661218/project-information-document-concept-stage-coastal-embankment-improv |

This will be achieved through the planning and implementation of climate change adaptation measures across impacted ecosystems and communities both upstream and downstream across the landscape. The traditional district and municipality (political/administrative boundary) based approach applied over the past 50 years in Nepal is being changed through this project by bringing in climate-resilient development and management at a more holistic river basin-wide level that cuts across political/administrative boundaries. On completion in 2026, the Gandaki River Basin will be used as a model to showcase how climate-resilient development in large river basins can occur throughout Nepal. | https://www.greenclimate.fund/sites/default/files/document/fp131-iucn-nepal_0.pdf |

This represented one of the first attempts globally to track and tag a national climate budget. The code identifies programmes as being either 1) highly relevant, 2) relevant or 3) neutral to the climate. The information generated by the climate budget code since 2012 shows that the budget allocated to climate-related plans and programmes at the national level has been steadily rising. To make its climate budget more focused on the activity level, MoALD in collaboration with UNDP recently started piloting an approach to further structure and highlight the climate relevance of a project within the agriculture sector by testing a modified coding method to assess the climate finance flows at the activity level. The overall objective of the exercise is to ensure that the budget allocated for climate-related programmes is reaching the intended activity and relevant beneficiaries such as farmers. This would result in addressing climate concerns of farmers and help them better prepare for and respond to emerging climate threats. | https://api.knack.com/v1/applications/5b23f04fd240aa37e01fa362/download/asset/5dee5a0ca2c5160016581d1b/191204_gpd_nepal_agriculture_04.pdf |

Complementary to the CReLIC’s institutional set up, the project finances pilotRural infrastructure development will be supported by constructing 45 new cyclone shelters and renovating 20 existing shelters. The shelters built under this project will be used as primary schools in normal times, providing 45 additional schools and helping educate 18,590 children. The improvement of 80 km of critical access roads to the rural shelters will also be undertaken, to safeguard access during extreme weather and enhance the adaptive capacities of local communities. | https://www.greenclimate.fund/sites/default/files/document/funding-proposal-fp004-kfw-bangladesh.pdf |

This will provide uninterrupted supply to 49 islands that currently rely on emergency water deliveries for three months of each year. Decentralized and cost-effective dry season water supply systems will also be introduced. Water desalination production plants will be built on four larger islands that will contribute to this improved dry season water distribution network to outer atolls and local supply systems. Increased capacity of local and central government authorities will strengthen the management and efficiency of these systems. Groundwater quality will be improved for long-term resilience. Groundwater recharge systems and improved water resource management capacity will contribute to improved groundwater quality. | https://www.greenclimate.fund/project/fp007 |

This project was designed to change that by moving away from ‘business as usual’ in the Basin, shifting agriculture and water management to a new paradigm in which producers are successfully adapting to climate change and are able to sustain their livelihoods. The project objective is to transform agriculture in the Basin by increasing resilience among the most vulnerable farmers and strengthening Government’s capacity to support their communities to adapt. To do this, the project will develop the country’s capacity to get and use the information it needs to cope with the impacts of climate change on agriculture and water management by putting in place state-of-the art technology (Component 1). It will build farmers resilience to climate change through skills, knowledge and technology (Component 2), and create a wider enabling environment for continuous adaptation and expanded sustainable uptake of climate-resilient approaches (Component 3). | funding-proposal-fp108-fao-pakistan.pdf (greenclimate.fund) |
