Tuvalu Coastal Adaptation Project Phase 2 (TCAP 2)

About this project

Tuvalu is a Least Developed Country (LDC) and the 8th smallest country in the world by land area. Its atoll islands are cyclone exposed and very low laying and is exposed to sea level rise impacts. The capital Fogafale Island, Funafuti Atoll which comprises of half of the nations population has an average elevation less than 0.5m above the reach of high spring tide levels. It is extremely vulnerable to climate change impacts, especially sea-level rise and storm related marine flooding. These challenges, combined with limited resources and capacity constraints require urgent solutions to secure people and assets from the catastrophic impacts of sea level rise. The objective is to focus on reducing the vulnerability of the southern lagoon shoreline of Fogafale Island in Tuvalu to the adverse impacts of wave overtopping, shoreline erosion, and rising sea levels. It builds on the achievements of the Green Climate Fund (GCF)-)-supported TCAP Project and aims to expand the reclaimed area by an additional 8 hectares, creating flood-free land and safeguarding 800 meters of shoreline. This TCAP-II project will adhere to the TCAP reclamation design and align with Tuvalu’s Long-Term Adaptation Plan (L-TAP) while also continuing efforts to enhance institutional capacity, human resources, awareness, and knowledge to facilitate better decision-making in coastal management, including improved integration of social requirements, including gender and disability needs. The final output encomp…
