BOUCLIER - Climat

The natural resources of the Mono River Basin are vital to the economic and social development of the riparian countries. However, this fragile area is increasingly under pressure from environmental degradation and a situation made worse by the impacts of climate change. Recurrent floods, unpredictable rainfall and the weakening of ecosystems are intensifying the vulnerability of rural communities.

Bouclier-Climat responds to these challenges with the ambition of strengthening community resilience. The project focuses on building adaptive capacities to climate risks while promoting the sustainable and equitable management of water resources and associated ecosystems. Its approach combines the production of reliable data at local, national and transboundary levels, the establishment of a regional early warning system, the implementation of concrete adaptation measures, and the strengthening of institutional and technical capacities within the Mono Basin Authority and its partners.

The project aims to deliver tangible outcomes, namely effective tools for climate risk management, improved availability of water resources and ecosystem services, diversified livelihoods for vulnerable communities, and stronger stakeholder capacities to face the challenges of a changing climate.
