Moldova Green Shield: Enhancing Resilience through Ecosystem-based Adaptation

pipeline

The project is structured around the following mutually reinforcing components/outcomes that combine landscape restoration implementation with institutional strengthening and climate-informed planning tools.Component 1: Climate-informed Restoration Planning and Institutional Capacity DevelopmentComponent 2: Climate-Resilient Ecological Infrastructure Restoration in Production LandscapesComponent 3: Advancing Data-Driven Ecosystem-Based Adaptation Planning in the Lower Prut landscapeComponent 4: Project Management, communication and reporting.Together, the four components form an integrated EbA investment package addressing institutional planning constraints, ecological infrastructure deficits and technical decision-support gaps currently limiting implementation of climate-resilient landscape restoration interventions across southern Moldova.Component 1 establishes restoration prioritization frameworks and implementation readiness required to guide climate-informed restoration investments.Component 2 delivers landscape-scale ecological infrastructure restoration interventions reducing climate exposure of agricultural and forest ecosystems.Component 3 strengthens technical decision-support capacity supporting identification of long-term adaptation pathways in climate-sensitive floodplain systems.Component 4 ensures effective coordination, fiduciary management, environmental and social compliance, monitoring and evaluation, communication, and results reporting necessary for timely and accountable implementation.Combined implementation of these components strengthens resilience of production landscapes across southern Moldova while supporting implementation of national forest expansion priorities and improving the capacity of institutions and communities to respond to increasing climate variability through EbA approaches.
