Local CSOs and CBOs in landscapes-seascapes around the world access grant financing and technical assistance, including capacity development and knowledge sharing to maintain and enhance their socio-ecological resilience, well-being and socio-economic conditions for global environmental benefits.

To conserve biodiversity and critical ecosystem services through an integrated and inclusive climate-resilient terrestrial, coastal and marine resource management approach that generates commensurate benefits to the local economy and communities in Sri Lanka.

To assist the Government of Sri Lanka to prepare and submit its First Biennial Transparency Report (BTR1), the Second Biennial Transparency Report and Fourth National Communication (BTR2/NC4) to fulfil the obligations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

<p>The project’s main goal is to strengthen the climate change adaptive capacity and food security of vulnerable communities in Sri Lanka’s dry zone and India’s eastern coastal states, utilizing a regional, integrated approach. Leveraging differentiated skills and experience in the two countries, and using participatory and bottom-up approaches, the project will enable vulnerable groups to use last mile climate services to plan and implement targeted adaptation measures best suited for different livelihoods and localities, supplemented by livelihoods diversification and enhanced linkages to existing financial services. A regional feedback loop will provide valuable real-time lessons for scaling up and out, both within and beyond the two countries. The project aims to benefit around 700,000 individuals directly and more than 900,000 indirectly.</p>
