ProjectFeasibility and Climate Proposal Formulation on Restoration of Degraded Mangroves Landscape and Resilience to Climate Change Vulnerable Coastal Communities to Climate Impact and Risks in Ghana - TCP/GHA/3805 2025
Also available in:
No results found.Ghana’s coastal communities are among the most vulnerable to climate impacts and risks such as coastal erosion, frequent flooding and storm surges, which often lead to displacements, impact the population’s livelihoods, and weaken the resilience of ecosystem services and the population. Furthermore, Ghana is part of the Guinea Current Large Marine Ecosystem (GCLME), one of the world’s most productive marine and coastal ecosystems, that extends from northern Guinea Bissau to southern Gabon. The GCLME hosts valuable wetlands and mangroves that host major coastal ecosystems, which provide critical ecosystem services to Ghana’s coastal communities, such as i) coastal protection against wave and wind erosion; ii) mitigation of coastal storms and cyclones impacts; iii) shelter and habitat for wildlife; iv) nutrient sink-effect and the reduction of excessive pollutants, and v) the entrapment of upland runoff sediments, thus protecting nearshore reefs and reducing water turbidity (FAO, 1994) -
Book (series)Final evaluation of the project “Integrated management of mangrove and associated wetlands and coastal forest ecosystems in the Republic of the Congo”
GCP/PRC/007/GFF
2019Also available in:
The project "Integrated management of mangroves and associated wetlands and coastal forest ecosystems in the Republic of the Congo" was implemented between July 2013 and December 2017 by the Government of the Republic of the Congo and FAO. The main phase of the final evaluation, which took place between July and August 2017, covered all the activities carried out under the different components. The evaluation recognized the relevance of the intervention given by its effort to develop and promote a community-based forest management system in the Congo. The project contributed to strengthening the national legislative and institutional framework on mangrove ecosystems, yet additional efforts are still necessary to mobilize the resources needed to implement the strategy and the plan developed as part of the project. At the time of the evaluation, no concrete activities had been implemented at community level, nevertheless the project contributed to having good awareness among communities on the importance of mangrove ecosystems. -
Book (stand-alone)Financing for mangrove protection with emphasis on Pakistan, Thailand and Viet Nam 2016
Also available in:
No results found.This publication was prepared for the ‘Income for coastal communities for mangrove protection’ project (2015-2016) which aimed to develop a low-cost mechanism enabling investors to responsibly promote mangrove conservation, carbon emissions reduction and sustainable development through the provision of funding to local communities. This report reviews sources of funding for mangrove protection with particular focus on Pakistan, Thailand and Viet Nam. Because of the role of mangroves in climat e change adaptation, climate change mitigation and disaster risk management, sources of financing targeting these objectives are included along with financing sources aiming specifically at mangrove conservation and restoration.
This is the first in a series of four publications intended to be used in conjunction in establishing sustainable financing for mangrove protection in Asia. The titles and links of the four publications are as follows:
