Belize Marine Conservation and Climate Adaptation Project
Discussion details
Adaptation Fund Approves Project in Belize, Accredits Namibian NIE The Adaptation Fund has approved a US$6 million marine conservation and climate change adaptation project in Belize, and accredited the Desert Research Foundation of Namibia (DRFN) as a National Implementing Entity (NIE).
Implemented by the World Bank and executed by the Belize Protected Areas Conservation Trust (PACT), the marine conservation and climate adaptation project will aim to strengthen the climate resilience of the Belize Barrier Reef System by implementing priority ecosystem-based marine conservation and climate adaptation measures. Applying an approach that combines ecosystem-based adaptation with enabling policy and legal frameworks, the project will support: the reef's protection regime, including by expanding and enforcing marine protected areas (MPAs) and replenishment zones; viable and sustainable livelihoods for affected users; and awareness raising and information sharing on the health of the reef ecosystem and climate resilience of coral reefs.
