Gender Transformative Climate Adaptation
Gender Transformative Climate Adaptation by Canadian Lutheran World Relief This project will support gender-transformative climate change mitigation and adaptation around Lake Tchad to increase climate-resilient food systems, livelihoods and environmental and human well-being. The local project partners, Lutheran World Foundation Chad and Lutheran World Foundation Cameroon jointly planned the project with Canadian Lutheran World Relief. This project will work towards the ultimate outcome of improved low-carbon, climate-resilient economies in the Logone-Chari River region for the enhanced well-being of communities, especially women, girls, and other vulnerable groups. Project activities include: (1) provide training to community groups and governance bodies to support climate adaptation and nature-based solutions; (2) provide support to local communities to restore and upgrade local irrigation systems; and (3) provide support in identifying nature-based and solutions-based livelihoods opportunities, based on the financially viable and sustainable use of biodiversity for women, girls, and other vulnerable groups. https://w05.international.gc.ca/projectbrowser-banqueprojets/project-projet/details/p011972001
Potential conservation benefits in saving biodiversity
Potential reduction of species extinction risk resulting from threat abatement actions
