The Republic of Mozambique is located in South-eastern Africa, with over 2,500 kilometres of coastline. The Greater Maputo Area (GMA), which includes the nation’s capital, is home to over 3 million people. Mozambique is rich in natural resources, including mangroves, wetlands, forests and mineral resources. In fact, around 8 out of 10 jobs and 50% of GDP depend on the country’s natural resources. A project is aiming to reduce the vulnerability of urban and peri-urban communities in the GMA to climate change impacts by restoring and protecting key ecosystems – a strategy known as ‘ecosystem-based adaptation’ (EbA). The project is implementing EbA solutions in 7 pilot communities, along with building institutional capacity to implement EbA in future, developing local adaptation plans, promoting climate-resilient livelihoods, building rainwater harvesting systems, and more.
