Project Description

If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

As stated by the GCF, targeting the Trois-Rivières (TR) region, this project will enhance the resilience of communities by initiating a shift towards an integrated, climate-smart approach to land and water resources management. It will promote ecosystem-based flood management solutions, sustainable agricultural practices, and strengthened water governance frameworks. Through these interventions, the project is expected to reduce the number of households affected by extreme flood events by over 50 per cent. Furthermore, this initiative aims to scale up a transformative change in the interaction with, and respect for, natural resources by decision makers and communities in the TR watershed.
