Description:
Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) implemented a technical assistance (TA) supporting Lao PDR to use green infrastructure elements as a tool for creating resilience in urban areas. Direct access to the case study: https://www.ctc-n.org/technical-assistance/projects/city-climate-vulnerability-assessment-and-identification-ecosystem
Outcome:
In collaboration with the NDE of Lao PDR and the TA implementor (UNEP-DHI Partnership), the CTCN TA provided (1) city level vulnerability assessments, (2) ecosystem services assessments and (3) collection of knowledge and data for 6 cities to formulate ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) responses to climate change threats. EbA options considered in the TA included reforestation, forest conservation, wetland restoration/conservation, water harvesting, establishing flood bypasses, green roofs/spaces, permeable pavements, etc. Outputs from the TA were used to develop a GCF funding proposal which has been approved in November 2019 as a 11.5 million USD project (10 million GCF Grants) on building resilience of urban populations with ecosystem-based solutions in Lao PDR.
