Benefiting Member States
Timor-Leste
The objective of this project is to promote sustainable adaptation for communities that have or are likely to migrate as a result of coastal change, mainly in the form of a reduction in land area as a result of receding shorelines. The project aims to contribute towards increased capacities at all levels to address loss and damage as well as prepare for coastal migration through improved evidence base, supporting integrated community-based adaptation and development planning, thereby preventing and preparing communities for a possible environmental migration. It will actively involve the affected communities to identify interventions that can best address vulnerabilities arising from coastal change in Timor-Leste.
