UNEP & Climate Adaptation
Building climate resilience of urban systems through Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) in the Asia-Pacific region
This project is building the climate resilience of poor communities in the cities of Thimphu (Bhutan), Kep, Phongsaly and Oudomxay (Lao PDR), and Mandalay (Myanmar) using Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) - the strategy of protecting or restoring ecosystems to reduce the negative impacts of climate change.
In Cambodia, the project is restoring wetlands and reservoir as well as mangroves to reduce the risk of flooding, drought, intrusion of saline water into agricultural land, and restore water for city consumption.
