dc.descriptionA project supported by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) is aiming to increase the capacity of Rwandan authorities and local communities to adapt to climate change using nature-based solutions, an approach referred to as ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA). Forests, savannahs, and wetlands provide a wide range of services, including erosion control and flood defences, for example, but these ecosystems are experiencing enormous pressures due to an intensifying mix of climate change, population growth and deforestation.en
