TUVALU COASTAL ADAPTATION PROJECT
LATEST NEWS
With US$36 million in financing from the Green Climate Fund; US$2.9 million in co-financing from the Government of Tuvalu, and $1.34 million in co-financing from Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the 8.5-year Tuvalu Coastal Adaptation Project is focused on strengthening the resilience of one of the world’s most vulnerable countries to climate change and sea-level rise.
Implemented by the UN Development Programme in partnership with the Government, the project is improving coastal protection in key locations on the islands of Funafuti, Nanumea and Nanumaga.
While these new measures will act as a buffer during storms, the project is also striving to build the capacity of national and island governments and local communities in adapting to climate change in the longer term.
