UNEP & Climate Adaptation
Building resilience of urban populations with ecosystem-based solutions in Lao PDR
This project is building climate resilience of local communities in the cities of Vientiane, Paksan, Savannakhet and Pakse through the implementation of an integrated approach to flood management to reduce the impacts of urban flooding and to help manage climate change induced floods in a long-term. The project activities include strengthening technical capacity and knowledge management for Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA), developing city-level flood management strategies, and implementing urban EbA solutions, including protecting and restoring wetlands and urban streams along the Mekong River.
