The Integrated Water Resources Management and Ecosystems-Based Adaptation (IWRM-EbA) Project is a collaborative initiative led by UNDP Lao PDR in partnership with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE). The project focuses on enhancing climate resilience and promoting sustainable management of land and water resources in the Xe Bang Hieng River Basin and Luang Prabang City, two regions highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. By integrating ecosystem-based approaches, the project seeks to mitigate the effects of extreme weather events such as floods and droughts, which have become more frequent and severe in these areas. It emphasizes preserving biodiversity and restoring natural ecosystems, which play a vital role in regulating water flow, reducing flood risks, and maintaining soil fertility. At the same time, the project supports the livelihoods of vulnerable communities by promoting sustainable agricultural practices, improving water access, and empowering local stakeholders to actively participate in resource management. Through this holistic approach, the IWRM-EbA Project aims to build long-term climate resilience while ensuring that both environmental and socio-economic needs are met in a balanced and sustainable way.
