All of these factors have led to a loss of income (Drame and Kiema, 2016). This situation has led actors in this area to initiate the practice of ecotourism. This has included direct community involvement in the protection of the region’s natural resources through activities such as protecting the communal forest and establishing an ecotourism camp including modest accommodation, food services, extraction and sale of forest products owned and managed by the community. The activities in Tumani Tenda are supported by various organisations, including the National Environment Agency (NEA), the Saint Joseph Family Farm project and the Ministry of Water and Forests (ibid). | https://www.transparency-partnership.net/system/files/migrated_document_files/191202_gpd_gambia_ecotourism_web.pdf |

This results in rural-urban migration to areas around Ulaanbaatar predominated by gers, or traditional Mongolian dwellings. These unplanned areas are hotspots of greenhouse emissions and air pollution, mainly due to the widespread use of coal for heating and cooking. The creation of eco-districts in these highly climate-vulnerable and polluting ger areas will form zones which are low-carbon, climate resilient and affordable. This will be done through low-cost urban infrastructure, public facilities, and social housing units. | FP077: Ulaanbaatar Green Affordable Housing and Resilient Urban Renewal Project (AHURP) | Green Climate Fund |

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) |

Implementation costs not yet estimated | AgriAdapt project & European Commission through the LIFE Program; co-financed by Fundación Biodiversidad from the Spanish Ministry of Ecological Transition | Fundación Global Nature | Climate Adapt | the LIFE AgriAdapt project has initiated 120 pilot farms to test adaptation measures, and one of these is in Melque de Cercos (Segovia, Spain). Responding to droughts, extreme temperature and soil degradation, the Segovia project aims to increase the resilience of rainfed crops through cross-cutting measures, promoting synergy between adaptation and mitigation. A local-level vulnerability assessment was undertaken, from which adaptation measures were proposed: crop rotation was improved with movement away from monoculture, along with soil management measures to control soil usage. The final measure was to implement multifunctional field margins to improve biodiversity: after 2 years, vegetation in these areas to include a diverse species mix including pollinators and increased local fauna. To monitor the progress of this project, a climate risk assessment was undertaken, with feedback from farmers taken into account at regular points of the project. | https://climate-adapt.eea.europa.eu/metadata/case-studies/crop-diversification-and-improved-soil-management-for-adaptation-to-climate-change-in-segovia-spain |

Its overall goal is to promote a paradigm shift in dryland pastoral and farming systems through an integrated approach by increasing resilience of food production systems; improving availability/access to climate resilient water sources; and strengthening capacities of institutions/communities on climate resilience. The project capitalizes on synergies in climate risk management practices across agriculture, water, and rangelands to enhance water/food security under changing climate conditions. Key results are enhanced resilience to climate risks among subsistence farmer and nomadic pastoralist communities and promoting an enabling environment for long-term (post-project) adaptation activities in Sudan. Moreover, the enhanced capacity of the state-level administration in areas of environmental governance, management of shared natural resources, inter- and intra-state relations and how to establish a network of early warning systems will help prevent conflicts and out-mitigation in the targeted areas. | https://www.greenclimate.fund/sites/default/files/document/fp139-undp-sudan_0.pdf |

This worked on flood protection and restoration measures, protecting Munich from the 2005 floor which damaged other cities in Southern Germany; improving water quality so that swimming is now possible in the river; improving water and land habitats; and improving recreational quality for residents. A success area of the project was interdisciplinary group driving the Isar-Plan, integrating stakeholders operating at different levels. This consisted of a group of NGOs (the Isar-Allianz), the State Office of Water Management Munich, and the City of Munich, while public participation was driven by internet engagement, dissemination of pamphlets, workshops, press engagement, round tables, and telephone/information services. Environmental co-benefits emerged from cross river sills, preventing fish from passing through, being replaced by flat ramps, improving biodiversity and restoring the habitat of flora and fauna within the river. Outcomes are as follows: the main channel was widened from 50 to 90 metres, giving more space to the river and improving run off and discharge. Embankments, previously secured with concrete slabs, have been replaced by sloping banks. Runoff has improved and can now run off at a rate of 1,100 cubic meters per second. A distance of one metre has been implemented between flood water level and the crest of the dike, protecting low-lying areas from high flood water. | https://climate-adapt.eea.europa.eu/metadata/case-studies/isar-plan-2013-water-management-plan-and-restoration-of-the-isar-river-munich-germany |

The project relied on participatory processes, with the involvement of citizens to spread small scale actions; local municipal administrators and technicians to design and implement the measures; farmers to adopt the measures; and students as a target group of the bottom-up approach with regards to awareness raising. One intervention was a detention basin to store 2,500 cubic meters of water, with the aim to retain water and ensure water resources were readily available across all seasons in the agricultural sector. An environmental co-benefit was realised by surrounding the basin with vegetation, increasing biodiversity and creating new habitats for wildlife. To improve drainage of rainwater, a rain garden and underdrain bioretention were implemented in a Piazzale della Libertà parking lot. A water detention basin was built in Via Volti with a green area built around the basin further increasing biodiversity, while in a private residential area of Corte Acquasaliente, two rainwater harvesting systems were installed, collecting 2000 litres of water, as well as two dry wells to catch water runoff from the street. In Santorso, two rain gardens, an infiltration trench, and a porous paving still, were installed. Each of these stated measures aim to mitigate surface water flooding. | https://climate-adapt.eea.europa.eu/metadata/case-studies/natural-water-retention-measures-in-the-altovicentino-area-italy |

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 |

This vulnerability assessment initiated the publication of a guide to advise other municipalities experiencing similar vulnerability to heatwaves, and the implementation of protection measures in most vulnerable areas such as care homes. Early warning systems were improved and updated based on the findings of the vulnerability assessment, with focus placed on disseminating information within the most vulnerable areas. Innovative finance mechanisms encouraged environmental co-benefits: air-conditioning units were procured and installed by the government as long as costs were offset by the municipality, and so solar panels were built by the municipality to compensate for the increased energy consumption of the aircon units. Within vulnerable areas, 'cool spots’ were installed by a housing company managing 11,000 apartments.

Its aim is to address the combined effects of climate change and resource degradation. The main objective of the initiative is to improve the livelihoods of vulnerable rural populations living in ecologically fragile areas of Senegal through the sustainable management of community inter-village silvo-pastoral reserves. This practice has also shown to improve soil carbon sequestration and the resilience of local species (Diouf et al., 2014). Forest products (wood and non-wood products) from these areas increasingly provide sustainable sources of incomes for rural populations. In the groundnut basin, there exist a number of species and products with high socio-economic potential. In addition, these areas provide environmental services, for example through reducing erosion and improving soil fertility (Sanogo, 2011). | https://www.transparency-partnership.net/system/files/migrated_document_files/190710_gpd_senegal_promotion_of_forest_areas_rz.pdf |

At present, it is already facing water stress, with the per capita availability of freshwater well below the critical threshold of 1,700 m3/cap/yr. Projected increases in the variability of rainfall, temperature, and occurrence of extreme weather events threaten the food and water security of farming communities living on heavily deforested and degraded hilly lands. This project seeks to restore and reforest degraded ecosystems in order to protect water sources and stimulate aquifer recharge. By improving access to water and building local capacity to manage natural resources sustainably, small-scale farmers will be more resilient to the impacts of climate change. | https://www.greenclimate.fund/sites/default/files/document/funding-proposal-fp089-fao-el-salvador.pdf |

It faces significant challenges due to its vulnerability to climate change. South Tarawa’s water supply is almost entirely dependent on underground freshwater lenses, the quality and quantity of which are seriously threatened by climate change-induced inundations and prolonged drought. Should such events occur simultaneously or in quick successions, they may reduce the lenses’ yield to zero for periods of up to five years. Given this, the lenses cannot be relied upon as the main source of water in a future with climate change. This project aims to reduce the climate vulnerability of the entire population of South Tarawa through increased water security by providing them with a reliable, safe, and climate-resilient water supply. This will be done through the construction of a 4,000 m3 desalination plant and a photovoltaic system to provide low-emission power for the plant and the water supply network. With this project, the residents of South Tarawa will no longer need to boil drinking water, reducing emissions from burning fuel and firewood. | https://www.greenclimate.fund/sites/default/files/document/funding-proposal-fp091-adb-kiribati.pdf |

Agricultural inefficiencies lead to the overuse of water and high evaporation. This project creates a closed cycle of reusing treated wastewater for irrigated agriculture. This multiplier effect will alleviate pressure on the coastal aquifer and improve the climate resilience of local populations. It will also enhance the institutional and operational capabilities for integrated water management. | FP119: Water Banking and Adaptation of Agriculture to Climate Change in Northern Gaza | Green Climate Fund |
