Communities faces challenges from climate change including increasing floods and droughts which impact livelihoods, ecosystems and infrastructure, particularly in vulnerable regions like the Xe Bang Hieng River Basin and urban areas such as Luang Prabang city. The country’s dependence on agriculture and forestry, coupled with rapid urbanization and deforestation, has worsened the vulnerabilities of rural and urban communities. The Xe Bang Hieng River Basin covers diverse ecosystems and livelihoods, has experienced the destructive impacts of climate change. Seasonal flooding damages agricultural lands, displaces communities, and erodes critical infrastructure, while prolonged droughts diminish water availability, degrade ecosystems and threaten food security. Similarly, Luang Prabang city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, faces significant risks from urban flooding, which damages infrastructure, disrupts tourism and endangers cultural heritage.To address the challenges,UNDP in partnership with the Government of Lao PDR with support from Global Environment Facility(GEF), implement the Integrated Water Resource Management and Ecosystem-Based Adaptation (EbA),designed to enhance resilience to climate-induced hazards through ecosystem restoration, community-based adaptation strategies, and improved water management practices.
