IUCN’s field projects around the world improve the management of natural resources such as forests, rivers, mangroves and coral reefs.
Managing nature offers great potential for avoiding emissions and storing carbon. It also preserves biodiversity and allows ecosystems to provide the services that people, particularly the poor and vulnerable, depend on, enabling them to adapt to climate change impacts.
This project aims to help Pacific Islanders effectively manage their mangrove and associated coastal ecosystems to build resilience to the potential consequences of climate change and variability on coastal areas and support/enhance livelihoods. The project will focus on a variety of activities on five Pacific Island countries (Fiji, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, and Vanuatu). Learn more
River basins and coasts, and their ecosystems, are natural infrastructure for coping with climate change impacts. They provide water storage, flood control and coastal defence. The IUCN Water and Nature Initiative (WANI) promotes the maintenance of ecosystems as infrastructure that reduce vulnerability to floods, droughts and storms, under water governance that empowers water users in decision making.

This project aims to ensure that climate change related policies and strategies in Zambia, Tanzania and Mozambique lead to adaptation activities that emphasize the role of forests and water resources in supporting people’s livelihoods. It works to provide the knowledge, tools and capacity to reduce vulnerability and enhance people's ability to adaptto climate change. Learn more
