Sustainable livelihoods and ecosystems

We support climate adaptation, mitigation, and resilience strategies grounded in integrated Blue Economy and ecosystem-based approaches that span ocean, coastal, freshwater, and terrestrial systems. This includes the sustainable management of marine and inland water resources, river basins, wetlands, fisheries, and climate-sensitive landscapes, alongside circular economy practices that promote resource efficiency, waste reduction, recycling, and reuse in line with global climate, biodiversity, and sustainable development commitments.

Our approach advances climate justice and inclusive, resilient livelihoods by strengthening participation and economic opportunities for women, youth, Indigenous Peoples, and resource-dependent communities across both coastal and inland contexts. By linking ecosystem stewardship with circular production and consumption models, accountable governance, and locally led solutions, we support partners to reduce environmental pressures, build resilience to climate shocks, and deliver equitable, long-term social, economic, and environmental outcomes.

Why It Matters

Evidence shows that resilient, resource-efficient development models deliver multiple dividends: they protect biodiversity, reduce waste and pollution, create decent and inclusive jobs, and enhance food and water security. By embedding climate justice, circularity, and inclusive governance into climate action, countries are better positioned to achieve sustainable growth, manage climate risks, and ensure that today’s development does not compromise the wellbeing of future generations.
