- Nature-based solutions
Challenges addressed
- More frequent droughts, floods and heatwaves
- Deforestation, land degradation and biodiversity loss
- Waste and plastic pollution
- Limited climate information and early warning
- Infrastructure not designed for future climate conditions
Implementation and sustainable operation
Implementation approach
Climate risk screening is applied to all AMAF programmes. Nature-based solutions such as restored mangroves and watersheds are combined with engineered measures, and communities take part in monitoring and caring for restored ecosystems.
Sustainable operation
Communities benefit directly from restored ecosystems through fisheries, forestry products and eco-tourism. Recycling and circular-economy enterprises are designed to run as viable businesses.
