Description

The overall objective of the project "Climate Change Adaptation and Gender Equality with Nature-Based Solutions in Guinean Forests in West Africa" is to strengthen local and regional capacities for nature-based climate change adaptation solutions and to foster women's transformational leadership in this area. The project engages with a wide range of stakeholders including women's organizations and local and national organisations to prioritise locally relevant solutions. The project takes a systems approach to support climate adaptation with interventions that focus on planning, testing and scaling up solutions and contribute to improved gender equality and biodiversity impacts. It supports the restoration and reforestation of degraded forests and habitats, both on farm and on other types of land tenure, and strengthen adaptation strategies and livelihoods of women and their communities to protect and restore biodiversity in this critical bioclimatic region (Hotspot) globally.
