“UNION COUNCIL LEVEL CONSULTATION ON CLIMATE
CHANGE ADAPTATION IN JIWANI, BALOCHISTAN”.
1. Background of the consultancy
Adaptation to climate change and building resilience among peoples and ecosystems
to respond to climate variability and hazard threats are relatively new concepts. For
this reason, networks for sharing experiences and ideas, especially between delta
areas, will have a fundamental role in helping to address adaptation within specific
ecosystems or sites. As well as regional collaboration, facilitating support from multilateral and bilateral donor agencies is crucial to enable on-going implementation
climate change actions and improved governance, especially of water resources.
In January 2011, WWF Pakistan started a five year project with funds from the
European Union's ‘Environment and Natural Resource Thematic Programme’ budget
line (ENRTP). The project title is “Building Capacity on Climate Change Adaptation
in Coastal Areas of Pakistan” project (CCAP).
The overall project objective is that: “By 2025, coastal areas in Pakistan and
neighboring regions have climate resilient ecosystems to support the livelihoods/lives
of coastal communities.” Whereas the specific objective for the 5 year period (20112015) of the project is that: “By 2015, government and community climate adaptation
capacity is increased and water governance strengthened, to improve climate
resilience of Indus Delta ecosystem processes on which coastal communities depend,
supported by regional and transboundary cooperation on adaptation in river deltas.”
