Nature-based Solutions for Livelihoods in Mangrove Landscapes

About this project

This project aims to strengthen Indonesia’s climate mitigation and adaptation efforts, and improve the sustainability of coastal livelihoods, by supporting the restoration and protection of mangrove ecosystems in North and East Kalimantan. Project activities include: (1) restoring degraded mangrove ecosystems and protecting intact mangroves with a focus on nature-based solutions; (2) building policymakers' capacity to better incentivize mangroves' restoration and protection; (3) introducing more sustainable fishing and aquaculture techniques to local communities; and (4) improving the licensing regime to provide vulnerable communities with greater access to mangrove resources. Beneficiaries include 20,000 poor and vulnerable coastal women and men, with women making up 40 percent of participants receiving training on improved livelihoods and restoration approaches.
