Climate-Resilient Livelihoods and Food Security in Myanmar (CliFS Myanmar)

About this project

Myanmar is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, with rising temperatures, erratic rainfall, and increasing extreme weather events threatening rural livelihoods. The country¿s agricultural and fisheries sectors, which sustain 60% of the population, are particularly exposed to climate-related shocks, exacerbating poverty and economic instability. These challenges are further intensified by ongoing conflicts, displacement, natural disasters - including the 28 March 2025 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Central Myanmar, - and structural inequalities, leaving internally displaced persons (IDPs), conflict-affected communities, and marginalized households at heightened risk. EU strategy in Myanmar prioritizes climate adaptation through initiatives integrating food security, resilience, and economic stability within sustainable development and conflict sensitivity frameworks. The action strengthens climate resilience of vulnerable rural populations by supporting adaptive farming and fishing practices, rural economic stability, and sustainable resource management. The expected impact includes greater food security, economic resilience, and environmental sustainability, contributing to Myanmar¿s long-term climate adaptation and stability. This initiative aligns closely with the Asia and the Pacific Regional Multi-Annual Indicative Programme (MIP) 2021-2027, particularly in its focus on climate resilience, disaster risk reduction, and inclusive economic development.
