PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
In recent decades, climate change has had noticeable impacts in Brazil, affecting more than 125 million people and causing economic damage of over US$60 billion. The latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warns of even more massive impacts and emphasizes the need for policymakers to create greater resilience. Climate change is having an exceptionally strong impact in Brazil: heavy rainfall is causing landslides and flooding in several regions, and prolonged droughts are causing problems in drinking water supplies, agriculture, energy, and other sectors. At the same time, coastal regions are facing rising sea levels, storm damage, and strong winds. These impacts of climate change threaten ecosystems, communities, productivity, and critical infrastructure. Against this backdrop, the ProAdapta project is of great importance in supporting Brazil in implementing its national climate adaptation agenda. Brazil's climate adaptation agenda has led to greater resilience in the country to climate change. Pro Adapta promotes policy instruments such as the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and the National Implementation Plan. The project thus supports the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change in better implementing the national adaptation agenda. The initiative provides infrastructure administrators with knowledge on climate risk management, including ecosystem-based adaptation solutions (EbA). In addition, the project supports joint projects between the private sector, state governments, and civil society. These projects i
