PIMS-5942 Tonga Coastal Resilience Project

About this project

The project creates a fundamental shift enabling Tonga to address climate change risks, as they pertain to land-use and coastal risks, through spatial adaptation plans and policy with broad public and political acceptance to address critical climate risks, supported by processes to gather and interpret critical data over time and provide for communities to guide their future through Community Development Plans (CDPS), as well as constructing practical coastal protection measures along the Hahake coastline. The project addresses coastal inundation in critical areas through immediate coastal protection measures in the northeastern parts of Tongatapu while fostering long-term adaptation by providing critical climate risk information and planning tools supported through key training, knowledge sharing and capacity. The projects Theory of Change is that the project outputs will enable transformational change towards climate-responsive land use and long-term climate risk-informed adaptation planning. The interventions will do this by addressing the key barriers to effective adaptation planning and implementing the means to avoid maladaptive measures in the future. These outputs lead to the outcomes of building the long-term resilience of vulnerable coastal communities and transformative adaptation to the direct impacts of climate change in Tonga. Specifically, the project will a) strengthen knowledge, capacity and engagement for incorporating climate risks into long-term adaptatio…
