Brazil: Espirito Santo Water Security Management Project

About this project

The Project will seek to foster integrated water resources and disaster risk management at the state level, promote sustainable land use practices at the river basin level, while also implementing flood risk reduction investments in select municipalities. This approach will help the state move the needle on reducing its water security risks while promoting climate adaptation. Proposed interventions are grouped around three components focused on the following geographic scales: statewide (Component 1), river basin (Component 2) and municipal (Component 3) levels as well as support to Project management (Component 4) and a zero-fund Contingent Emergency Response (Component 5 - CERC):Component 1 – Building the Borrower's capacity for water security in a changing climate. This component will strengthen the state's capacity to manage water security risks by strengthening both SIGERH-ES' and CEPDEC's water resources and disaster management capacities, respectively, and fostering their better integration. Component 2 – Demonstrating climate-smart integrated water security risk reduction approaches in selected basins. This component will contribute to reduce water security risks by reducing water contamination and sediment loads as well as flood and dry season water deficits, while promoting biodiversity conservation and enhancing existing carbon sinks in soil and aboveground biomass, leading to significant climate adaptation and mitigation benefits. Component 3 – Reducing flood ris…
