General

The project supports the development and initial consolidation of a national policy strategy for the Peruvian Amazon. It thus contributes to sustainably developing this habitat and economic area while at the same time preserving its global importance for biodiversity and climate protection. The planned advisory services for the regional and local actors involved are on the one hand aimed at promoting the national system of conservation areas and identifying suitable economic alternatives to the current utilisation of the area, while they are also intended to introduce innovative financing instruments and to valorise environmental services.

A systematic management of resources is used for the increase of climate resilience and as an instrument for sustainable development in selected CARICOM-states.

General

The purpose of the project is to improve the local population’s ability to adapt to the consequences of climate change in two catchment areas (Rodikot and Darma) in the Humla District of Nepal. This shall be achieved through capacity-building in climate-related issues among the user groups in the catchment area. Additionally, support will be given to improve erosion control for enhanced disaster prevention. A further goal of the project is to rehabilitate 50 hectares of forest as well as to restore and protect ten drinking water sources. The project thus combines the development of climate change adaptation strategies with environmental education and reforestation while at the same time developing best practices that can be applied to other catchment areas.
