Climate-SDGs Integration Project: Supporting the Implementation of the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda Through Ecosystem-Based Adaptation

Completed     Global
01 Jan 2018 to 31 Dec 2021

Description

The project supported the implementation of ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) in Guatemala and India to synergistically achieve Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A core deliverable of the project was a roadmap in each partner country that included prioritized actions for the improved implementation of EbA and the necessary conditions for their successful execution. The project fostered a better understanding of the criteria and preconditions for EbA measures to contribute to both NDCs and SDGs through inclusive, participatory multi-stakeholder dialogues at local and national levels. To enhance communities’ resilience, food security, and poverty reduction, and to ensure the social dimension of sustainability, the project took into account the principles outlined in the “Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land - VGGTs”.
