CHANGE! Climate and environmental action in Mozambique to complement the response plans of coastal cities.

About this project

The initiative starts from the reflection on the fact that cities play a key role in the worsening of the current climate situation and from the assumption that the increase of a country's resilience and adaptive capacity to climaterelated risks (General Objective OSS 13, Target: 13.1) can only take place if institutions and the population recognise, take responsibility (SO1) and commit to implementing measures (SO2) for the response to the climate crisis (Specific Objective OSS 11, Target: 11.b). The overall objective of this initiative is to strengthen the resilience and climate adaptation capacities of the cities, through the inclusion of environmental issues in the agenda of the Mozambican municipalities of Pemba, Ibo and Beira (OSS 13 Target 13.2); locations in which AVSI and the consortium members have a consolidated presence, and which are among the most prone to environmental disasters caused by climate change. The achievement of this objective is linked to the realisation of two intermediate results: firstly, the elaboration and adoption of climate crisis response plans developed starting from the specific context of the three supported municipalities (Result 1, OSS 13.1.3 - OECD-DAC sector 43030), which must be developed and shared through a participatory and inclusive process on multiple levels (institutions, central and provincial, communities and vulnerable groups), based on technical and practical criteria (evidence based) and proven, high quality and instituti…
