To reduce the farmers’ vulnerability to intensifying natural disasters and increasing rainfall variability, the PCIC, with support from UNDP, launched the “Scaling Up Risk Transfer Mechanisms for Climate Vulnerable Agriculture-Based Communities in Mindanao” project in 2014. The project sought to:
a) expand the uptake of a pilot-tested weather index-based insurance (WIBI) to 2,000 agricultural households in two regions on the island of Mindanao;
b) create awareness among the farmers to improve agricultural productivity and local disaster risk management.
Mindanao was chosen as the implementation area of the project because it is the “food basket” of Philippines, and, thus, critical to the country’s food security. It is also one of the poorest regions in the Philippines, with a high prevalence of small-scale farmers who depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. |

Traditional agricultural practices that communities rely on in the Solomon Islands have been placed under increasing pressure from emerging climate change risks. The preferred solution is to support communities to better manage and adapt to climate change pressures in the context of food security through community based adaptation. This project will strengthen the ability of communities in the Solomon Islands to make informed decisions and manage likely climate change driven pressures on food production and management systems. In particular the project will lead to the following key results (outcomes):
1) Promoted and piloted community adaptation activities enhancing food security and livelihood resilience in pilot communities in at least 3 selected regions.
2) Adjusted the national and sub-national policies related to governing agriculture in a range of climate futures and;
3) Fostered the generation and spread of relevant knowledge for assisting decision-making at the community and policy-formulation level. |

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. |

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 project intended to inform and prioritise the renovation, reinvestment, and management of public infrastructure. Additional objectives included clarifying methods of data usage, determining costs involved, and outlining a future system for more efficient use of data. The use of collected data varied across municipalities. In Bærum, for example, it supported the supporting the identification of water and drainage problems and informed municipal spatial planning. The project is an example of multi-stakeholder participation (with high collaboration of municipalities, state agencies and the insurance industry), contributing to the building of trust between actors involved. A number of research projects on climate-related risk factors, risk management and risk prevention were also conducted in parallel to the project, which generated and enhanced knowledge and awareness of the effects of climate change on society. |

This project is one of 31 projects funded by the federal Swiss government’s programme for adaptation to climate change. The Grimsel project addresses, through participatory approach, climate induced vulnerabilities which threaten existing socioeconomic risks – its roads, settlements and infrastructure are especially at risk from increased slope instability due to increased rainfall, thawing and glacier retreat. To address these risks, the following outcomes were seen: a steering group was created to guide the implementation of the project, with university courses, excursions, and study visits initiated to the region. Data exchange between the public and governments on natural hazards was improved, with monitoring systems procured and databases built. A success area of the project was the integration of cross-sectoral stakeholders at different levels of management, the participatory approach, and the inclusion of private and public actors. |

The BEWARE project targets flooding in two areas of the Altovicentino region, Santorso and Marano Vicentino, and consists of seven interventions selected from the Natural Water Retention Measures (NWRMs) platform, with the aim to increase the resilience of the selected areas to flooding. 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. |

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. |

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. |

A multi-phased approach. 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. |

The project will scale up an integrated water supply system based on rainwater, groundwater, and desalinated water into a low-cost delivery system for vulnerable households. 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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
