Achievements

Project results

- Understanding and capacity of targeted stakeholders to carry out climate

vulnerability assessments and develop adaptation strategies for protected areas

(PAs) and associated coastal and island ecosystems are improved.

- A methodology for identication of climate change adaptation strategies

and resilience building measures for coastal and marine PAs and associated

ecosystems is developed, eld tested and promoted.

- Adaptation action plans are developed and priority actions implemented in six

protected area sites in three countries.

- Climate change adaptation is incorporated into local and regional development

planning processes in pilot sites.

- Awareness is raised on the values of PAs in coastal and marine ecosystems,

and their contribution to adaptation to climate change for local livelihoods and

disaster risk reduction

The project contract was signed in February 2011 and substantive project

activities will be started after the inception workshop in Colombia which is

organized by W WF International for the three countries (Madagascar, Colombiaand Philippines). WWF will launch a formal project opening in Diana Region on

March 31st.

Donor

European Union via WWF International from February 2011 to au January 2015.

Effective climate change adaptation strategies are developed and being

implemented in two protected areas and related adaptation issues are integrated

into local planning frameworks for associated coastal and island ecosystems by

empowered and resourced stakeholders in Madagascar.

Specifc objectives

Increase the resilience of coastal ecosystems to maintain the

provision of environmental goods and serv ices, and disaster risk

reduction to benet local communities in the face of future climate

conditions.
