Project Description
Climate Change, Livelihoods, Natural Resources Management
Based on lessons learned, this working group promotes concepts that foster the improvement of livelihoods while conserving natural resources in the context of climate change.
It supports the exchange of results and experiences between projects or programmes and develops innovative products to contribute to knowledge management and more efficient implementation of projects and programmes.
The working group believes that a well governed and responsible management of natural resources is the foundation of sustainable development in rural areas. The impacts and risks of climate change on livelihoods and natural resources are taken into account, especially through concepts such as ecosystem-based adaptation and mitigation.
The working group covers terrestrial and marine ecosystems.
Subthemes
- Enhancing benefits of biodiversity and ecosystem services
- Climate change adaptation
- Land tenure, forest landscape restoration and wood energy
