Project Goal
To reduce climate- and disaster-induced risks and losses for vulnerable communities by strengthening locally led ecosystem-based adaptation systems, resilient livelihoods, ecosystem restoration, local governance and preparedness mechanisms.
Project Overview
ECO-RESOLVE is designed to strengthen the resilience of climate-vulnerable communities in Bhola through an integrated combination of ecosystem-based adaptation, climate-resilient livelihoods, disaster preparedness and local governance.
The project will establish community and youth-led adaptation platforms, promote environmentally sustainable livelihood practices, restore local ecosystems, improve early-warning dissemination and support local disaster-management institutions to integrate ecosystem-based approaches into risk assessment, planning and implementation.
Project Objectives
1. Community and Youth-Led Adaptation
Establish functional community and school-based platforms through which communities, adolescents and youth can learn, plan, monitor and lead ecosystem-based adaptation initiatives.
2. Climate-Resilient Livelihoods and Ecosystem Restoration
Support households and entrepreneurs to adopt diversified, biodiversity-positive and climate-resilient livelihood practices that improve income stability and restore ecological balance.
3. Local Disaster-Risk Governance
Strengthen local risk assessment, early-warning, preparedness, coordination and planning systems while integrating ecosystem-based adaptation into local government processes.
