Inclusive and participatory actions contribute to scaling up conservation efforts: Economic and livelihood-related incentives motivate communities to engage in long-term conservation planning and implementation. The diverse multi-actor partnerships contributed to replicating the programme efforts initiated in 2018 to different sites, with improved and scaled-up adaptation and conservation actions. With the engagement of communities and other interested actors it is possible to develop long-term actions, as opposed to one-off restoration actions across climate change, sustainable development, biodiversity and forestry conservation. Private-public-CSO actions contribute to scaling up investments for conservation efforts. The programme is an example of merged finance, which includes financial support from the private sector, the public sector and CSOs. Evidence-based policy interventions and knowledge-sharing efforts contribute to successful national- and local-level intervention.

Description:
This project addresses climate change impacts, developmental needs, and resilience through holistic risk management processes with engagement of vulnerable communities to build their economic resilience, livelihood development, and economic diversification. The project looks into participatory and multi-actor partnerships for decision-making to conserve forest ecosystems and address climate risks, through private-public-CSO partnerships. The knowledge-management and policy-related interventions include national-level conservation actions as well as regional and international level activities. The present phase of the programme is titled: Programme Addressing Climate Change and Uplifting Marginalized Coastal Communities through Mangrove Forest Conservation.
Outcome:
Contributed to livelihood development activities, nursery development, and ecotourism to over 6,000 direct beneficiaries, with 200,000 indirect beneficiaries through awareness-raising, youth, and national-level workshops. Conserved or restored more than 30 hectares of mangroves providing between $400,000 and $684,000 worth of ecosystem services per year. Contributed to biodiversity conservation through adaptation and conservation actions through biodiversity assessments. Lessons learned shared with a regional and global stakeholder audience, and UNFCCC-related activities. Successfully contributed to national processes such as the NDC review process of Sri Lanka and local waste management planning processes.
