Adaptation to Climate Change in Coastal Zones in Vanuatu
The Government of Vanuatu has been granted funds under the Least Developed Countries Fund and the Global Environment Facility (GEF) Trust Fund to prepare a second phase for the project. Over the course of the Project Preparation Grant stage, it is envisaged that consultations with government and non-government entities will assist in identifying the final project sites from the preliminary list identified in the Project Identification Form, which has been approved by GEF. These will be verified through assessment of vulnerabilities to climate change impacts and to the extent of economic activities and their interaction with coastal ecosystems. Opportunities for ecosystem-based adaptation will be indentified such as through biodiversity conservation and sustainable land management.
The overall aim of the project will be to improve the resilience of the vulnerable areas and communities therein to the impacts of climate change through the conservation of biodiversity and natural ecosystems and the implementation of integrated approaches in order to sustain livelihoods, food production and ensure biodiversity conservation and reduce land degradation by building on lessons learned from the first phase.
