Timor-Leste is home to a wide range of globally important ecosystems, including tropical rainforests, mangroves, and wetlands. These landscapes face multiple threats, including climate change and unsustainable agricultural practices, with approximately 90% of the forests across the country having been cleared or logged. This project is using Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) to increase climate resilience and reduce land degradation in rural communities in Timor-Leste. The project’s main approaches include: i) improving national and sub-national adaptation planning; ii) restoring ecosystems in water catchments; iii) developing and implemneting agricultural management systems; iv) provision of water to rural communities; and v) expansion of a climate-smart agribusiness.
