The Churia region of Nepal has a vital role in maintaining the ecosystem of the heavily populated Terai plains. 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 |

The project is a large scale power project that combines Chile's natural resources with RE technology to provide clean RE 24/7. The project provides for the installation of 2 commercially integrated power plants, in addition to the provision of stable water supply for a rural community, and direct, financial investments to the local community to assist in economic diversity at the local level. Adaptation objectives focus in the three sectors where Chile must build resilience; 1) Energy by increasing reliable generation not dependent on hydrology; 2) Water resources, by using the Project’s desalination plant to provide potable water access to communities that do not have stable water supply. Indirectly, this will also contribute to creating healthier and more resilient local coastal communities; 3) Fishing and Aquaculture by designating a portion of funds provided in the social-productive agreements executed with organizations to help the coastal communities diversity their local economies, which are highly dependent on natural extraction of sea resources. The socialproductive funds will be aligned with the national adaptation plan for climate change at national, regional and local levels.

The key problem this project proposes to address is the threat to smallholder livelihoods from the impacts climate change, particularly in rainfall variability and the occurrence of extreme events. The objective of the proposed project is to enhance the resilience of smallholder farms to climate change, especially variation in rainfall and frequent occurrence of extreme events. Complementing critical co-financing by the RGoB, GCF resources will be used to address gaps and barriers inhibiting climate resilience in the agriculture sector. Through a) promotion of resilient agriculture practices in the face of changing climate patterns, b) integration of climate change risks into water and land management practices that affect smallholders and c) reduction of risk and impact of climate change induced landslides, the project will support a paradigm shift away from a responsive approach to the increasing impacts of climate change on agriculture and towards enhanced resilience of smallholder famers, as well as strengthened capacity of the institutions that support them. |

Modelling of climate change scenarios for Pakistan shows that if agriculture and water management in the Indus River Basin continue in a ‘business as usual’ mode, increasing temperatures and changes in precipitation will pose serious threats to the future livelihoods of farmers and to the Pakistani agricultural sector. 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). |

Southern Zimbabwe has experienced increasing temperatures since the 1950s with a decline in total annual precipitation and an increase in mid-season dry spells coupled with extreme weather events in the form of droughts and floods. These changes in climate have reduced water availability and increased soil aridity, resulting in declining agricultural yields and impacting the livelihoods of smallholder farmers in this region. In Southern Zimbabwe, rainfall is predicted to decrease by 15 per cent and runoff by 20 per cent in provinces of Manicaland, Masvingo and Matabeleland South, leading to higher food deficits and higher food prices, as well as higher number of drought-related livestock deaths. The project proposes to address these observed and projected climate impacts and build the resilience of smallholder farmers in three semi-arid agroecological regions of southern Zimbabwe. |

Tajikistan is experiencing increasing temperature and rainfall variability and recurrent natural disasters, particularly droughts and floods. Local communities in mountainous areas have low adaptive capacity to cope with these impacts, due to a lack of adequate climate information to plan their agricultural production while they rely heavily on climate-sensitive sources of income. This initiative will introduce adaption measures to address climate change effects leading to declines in agricultural yields, increases in food prices and reduced agricultural wages. It will focus on the most vulnerable and food insecure communities in the Rasht valley, Khatlon and Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region (GBAO) regions. It will include an integrated approach to provide climate information services, capacity building, sustainable water management and resilient agriculture and forestry. |

The CRAVE project aims to reduce rural human population’s vulnerability and food insecurity to climate risks and threats while increasing the adaptive capacity, well-being and resilience of the vulnerable small-scale farming communities in crop production landscapes that are threatened by climate variability and change. The project is built on the government strong baseline investment made in light of the Namibia Comprehensive Conservation Agriculture Programme (NCCAP) and revised Namibia Agriculture Policy of 2015. It will run over a period of 60 months consisting of three components with five separate (for administration purposes) but directly indivisible interlinked outcomes to be attained, which are fully elaborated in section C. CRAVE has two sub-objectives: a) To strengthen the adaptive capacity, scale up adoption of effective coping mechanisms and measures (for example comprehensive conservation agriculture and micro drip irrigation), and implement on-the-ground adaptation actions and practices that assist vulnerable subsistence farmers3 (i.e. females and males) to reduce vulnerabilities to climate change, erratic weather patterns, seasonal rainfall shifts, heat and drought.
b) To provide rural crop males and females farmers with alternative sustainable access to off-grid solar energy technologies (water pumping for small-scale micro horticultural systems, and refrigeration for harvested food) and reduce the dependency of increasingly expensive (and environmentally unfriendly) imported fuels by promoting solar water pumping in the agricultural sector. |

Climate change in Mongolia periodically leads to sizable losses of livestock due to prolonged and increasingly cold winter seasons. 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. |

Nauru is the world’s smallest island nation. Isolated deep in the Pacific, it depends almost entirely on its port for supplies of food, energy, and most other essentials its people and economy need to survive. Yet its aging dysfunctional port facilities are completely exposed to the effects of climate change. The alternative proposed for GCF’s support is construction of a climate-resilient port that can operate year-round. Of five designs appraised, the one selected comprises (i) a channel through which oceangoing ships can pass between the sea and the shore for the first time in Nauru’s history, (ii) a stable wharf with a turning berth, (iii) a breakwater to shelter the wharf and the berth from waves, and (iv) port buildings, container terminal and port security provisions complying United Nation conventions such as International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code. |

Kiribati is one of the most remote and least developed countries in the world. 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. |

The proposed GCF project will use large-scale Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) – a costeffective and low-risk approach for building climate resilience over large rural landscapes – to effect this paradigm shift. The objective of the project is consequently to build the climate-resilience of rural Gambian communities and facilitate the development of a sustainable natural resource-based (green) economy by implementing large-scale EbA within and adjacent to agricultural areas, community-managed forest reserves and wildlife conservation areas. This will entail: a) restoring degraded forests and agricultural landscapes with climate-resilient plant species that provide goods for consumption or sale; and b) facilitating the establishment of commercially viable natural resource-based businesses to be managed by community-based organizations. The Gambia’s existing policies that promote decentralization of natural resource management. |

The project has three components, of which the first one seeks to enhance capacities of rural communities reliant on ecosystem goods and services through developing landscape strategies and coordination mechanisms that are community-led in the eight landscapes. Landscape governance systems through participatory decision-making processes among community groups themselves or neighboring communities will be implemented, while promoting knowledge sharing among communities and other stakeholders outside the target landscape will be the focus to upscale and replicate the activities. Once strategic interventions regarding capacity enhancement has been established, component two will support specific EbA activities that are organized and executed to support the implementation of landscape strategies. This will be achieved though the implementation of a Small Grant Finance mechanism to address the financial, capacity and adaptation needs. Component three will support learning and knowledge management activities with the aim to capture and disseminate lessons learned and to influence policy. |

Located in the dry corridor of Central America, El Salvador is one of the most vulnerable countries to climate risks in the world. 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. |

The project supports climate change adaptation efforts among subsistence agro-pastoralist and nomadic pastoralist communities in dryland zones across nine states in Sudan. 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. |
