| Description
|
UNDP Action pledge II
It is increasingly recognized that small communities are likely to be the most severely affected by climate change impacts and yet are least equipped to cope and adapt. This pilot project is designed to implement community-based projects that seek to enhance the resiliency of communities, and/or the ecosystems on which they rely, to climate change impacts. It will essentially create small-scale ‘project/policy laboratories’ and generate knowledge about how to achieve adaptation at the local level. |
