This project supports women and men in developing countries as beneficiaries of climate-resilient and nature-positive development, by strengthening of knowledge and capacity of Southern and Northern civil society and Indigenous peoples organizations to design and implement gender-responsive, nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation projects in the world’s most vulnerable regions. These regions include Sub-Saharan Africa, small island developing states, and least developed countries. The project provides training in nature-based climate solutions project design, implementation, and management through online courses and other knowledge sharing and networking platforms. It will directly benefit an estimated five hundred users of the project website, 300 users of the online course from 25 countries (50% of which are in the global south), and 300 participants at in-person, hybrid or virtual networking/conferences.

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) improved policy, practice, financing, and socially-inclusive governance of nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation in developing countries; (2) enhanced capacity of civil society and other organizations to design and deliver nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation that advance gender equality and women's rights in developing countries; and (3) increased integration of biodiversity benefits in the design and delivery of nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation. These outcomes contribute to the ultimate outcome of enhanced climate resilience of the poorest and most vulnerable through nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation projects that advance gender equality, which is socially inclusive and provide biodiversity benefits.
