The Integrated Water Resources Management and Ecosystem-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 aims to enhance climate resilience and promote the sustainable management of land and water resources in two of Laos’ most vulnerable regions: the Xe Bang Hieng River Basin and Luang Prabang City. These areas face increasing threats from extreme weather events, including floods and droughts, which endanger local communities, biodiversity, and ecosystems. By integrating nature-based solutions and policy-driven approaches, the project seeks to strengthen water and land resource governance, restore degraded ecosystems, and implement measures that reduce climate-related risks. A key focus is on protecting headwater forests and riparian zones, ensuring long-term water security and ecosystem health. Additionally, the project engages local communities by fostering awareness, capacity building, and policy support to enhance environmental stewardship. Through this integrated approach, the IWRM-EbA project contributes to a sustainable and climate-resilient future, safeguarding natural resources and improving livelihoods for generations to come.
