Climate Adaptation Project

closed

The objective of the Climate Adaptation Project for Moldova is to enhance the adoption of climate-smart practices in agriculture, forestry and pasture management in targeted landscapes and strengthen national disaster management systems. There are four components to the project, the first component being climate-smart practices in the agriculture sector. This component aims to enhance adoption of climate-smart practices in selected rural landscapes by supporting: (i) the scale-up of farmers’ climate-smart technologies and agricultural practices and provision of related advisory services; and (ii) expanded up-take of irrigation services. The second component is the climate-smart forest and pasture management. This component aims to enhance the climate resilience of Moldova’s forest and pasture lands through restoration of degraded lands at the community and village level and improved climate-smart management of forest reproductive material. The first sub-component focuses on afforestation12 and rehabilitation of degraded lands and pastures. The second sub-component will support provision of climate-adapted forest reproductive material (seeds and seedlings) and capacity building on ecological restoration of natural forests. The third component is the climate and disaster risk management. This component aims to strengthen Moldova’s climate and disaster risk management systems and, in the event of an eligible crisis or emergency, provide immediate financing to respond quickly to said crisis or emergency. Finally, the fourth component is the project management and monitoring.
