Synopsis (short abstract) The project Enhancing community resilience to climate change in mountain watersheds (GCP/GLO/042/JPN) is implemented by the Forestry Division (NFO) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and funded by the Forestry Agency of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan (MAFF). It aims to strengthen the capacities of institutions and communities in forest-based disaster risk reduction (DRR) in mountain watersheds and increase the resilience of local populations through sustainable agricultural value chains for improved livelihoods.The document presents the successful implementation of identified Eco DRR measures – including on-farm adaptation practices, capacity development and agricultural value chain development, undertaken collaboratively with country and global partners – and exemplifies the role of healthy ecosystems and the benefits of Eco DRR measures for mountain livelihoods and community resilience. This serves as a cornerstone for scaling up the impact of these initiatives in other mountain regions.
