Project Overview

The project aimed at developing the capacity of the national environmental authorities and local farmers in the Amazonian regions of Peru and Colombia to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and advance efforts to adapt to the impacts of climate change. To achieve this, it supported the development and implementation of sustainable land use measures that help to preserve carbon sinks in selected pilot regions. The first stage involved analyzing the impacts of climate change on th…

The project aimed at developing the capacity of the national environmental authorities and local farmers in the Amazonian regions of Peru and Colombia to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and advance efforts to adapt to the impacts of climate change. To achieve this, it supported the development and implementation of sustainable land use measures that help to preserve carbon sinks in selected pilot regions. The first stage involved analyzing the impacts of climate change on the agricultural sector and on water-related ecosystem services and thus identifying the need for adaptation. In consideration of the needs of local communities, the project introduced customised, sustainable land use measures and increased the expertise of its partners in the fields of monitoring and evaluation. It demonstrated possible ways in which Peru and Colombia may use these land use measures to achieve the ambitious goals they set themselves in the field of climate change mitigation.

Nature-based solutions (NBS) offer a broad range of benefits, including improved water quantity and quality, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity protection. However, these solutions may also have trade-offs (negative or unintended impacts) such as displacing land users or replacing diverse ecosystems …

Nature-based solutions (NBS) take place within complex, dynamic, and self-organizing socio-ecological systems. These include biophysical, economic, political, and cultural systems. For example, a forest restoration project interacts with the forest ecology, hydrology, local communities, and regional businesses. The project also …

Effective engagement with local communities in nature-based solutions (NBS) projects requires thoughtful commitment. Build relationships with stakeholder groups and incorporate their input throughout the project lifecycle, from design and planning to project management and maintenance.
